the 42nd chapter of the book of Isaiah
in the Bible clearly foretells the
coming of an Arabian Prophet
specifically Prophet Muhammad peace and
blessings be upon Him Isaiah describes
itself as a prophecy about the future
God states that the former things have
taken place and new things I declare God
starts the chapter by drawing our
attention to a very special person that
he will send he describes this person as
my servant whom I uphold My Chosen One
in whom I delight at least three of the
names of the Prophet Muhammad are
mentioned servant chosen one and in whom
I
Delight Isaiah is originally written in
Hebrew Arabic and Hebrew share a lot of
common words because they are both citic
languages Isaiah uses the Hebrew word
Eed for servant the Arabic word for
Servant is ABD Prophet Muhammad is known
as God's servant in Arabic
abdah chosen one is Mustafa in Arabic
this is another of the names of the
Prophet Muhammad the one in whom God
Delights in shows that this person is
beloved to God habibah in Arabic which
means beloved of God also happens to be
one of the Prophet Muhammad's
names
in Isaiah God also reveals the location
of this special person he States let the
Wilderness and its towns raise their
voices let the settlements where Kadar
lives
Rejoice out of all the nations on Earth
that God inspired Isaiah to mention he
chose to highlight kadar's location so
we should pay special
attention throughout the Bible kadad and
his sons are linked to Arabia for
example the book of EZ eel tells us that
Arabia and all the princes of Kad were
your favorite dealers and Lambs Rams and
goats in these they did business with
you in Isaiah God goes on to narrow the
location down further to a specific City
within Arabia he states that the people
of Salah should Sing For Joy let them
shout from the mountaintops the place
Salah pinpoints the exact location in
Arabia the place being spoken of is the
city of Medina in Saudi Arabia because
Salah is the name of a famous mountain
in
Medina Medina was the city of the
Prophet
Muhammad an important Point worth
mentioning is that historically we know
there was a presence of various Jewish
tribes in Medina before the Advent of
the Prophet Muhammad both Jewish
historians and Islam isamic history
records this fact the question then
arises why were there numerous Jewish
tribes within Medina the answer is that
the Learned Jews were aware of this
prophecy in Isaiah and were anxiously
awaiting the coming of a new Prophet
Islamic history records the fact that
whenever a dispute arose between the
Jews and the Arabs in Medina the Jews
used to taunt their Pagan Arab neighbors
by saying when our Prophet arrives we
shall obliterate you the Quran also
affirms this God says is it not a sign
to them that the Learned men of the
children of Israel knew it as
true in Isaiah God informs us that the
special person will bring something new
mankind is told that we will sing to the
Lord a new song his praise from the ends
of the Earth the statement a new song
means a new law a new way of worship
this is exactly what Islam represents
the emphasis on the new song Here is
singing the praise of God all over the
Earth the Quran opens with the statement
praise be to God lord of the worlds and
is recited by Muslims all over the world
during prayers every day the new song
cannot refer to Jesus because he did not
bring about anything new rather he
confirmed the law of Moses that was
already there in the gospel of Matthew
Jesus said think not I am come to
destroy the law or the prophets I am not
come to destroy but fulfill Jesus obeyed
and followed the law of Moses throughout
his life Jesus didn't sing a new song he
sang the same song of Moses the Torah
moreover the Disciples of Jesus also
follow the law of Moses even after Jesus
departed in the book of Acts we are told
that the disciples looked to the Torah
for guidance for the law of Moses has
been preached in every city from the
earliest
times in Isaiah God emphasizes the
universal mission of the coming person
by mentioning that he will be made a
covenant all the people and a light for
the
Gentiles Gentiles means non-jews the
Quran confirms the prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him was sent to the whole
of mankind Jews and Gentiles Alik
in the Quran God tells us we have sent
you oh Prophet as a bearer of glad
tidings and a Warner for the whole of
mankind but most people have no
knowledge the verse in Isaiah cannot
apply to Jesus because in the gospel of
Matthew Jesus said I was sent only to
the lost sheep of Israel in Isaiah God
further states that he will lead the
blind by ways they have not known along
unfamiliar paths I will guide them the
Pagan Arabs at the time of the the
prophet Muhammad fit this description
perfectly because they had not been sent
a messenger prior to Muhammad the Quran
Bears witness to this God states that
Muhammad was sent to Warner people to
whom no Warner has come before the verse
in Isaiah cannot apply to Jesus because
his people the Israelites had already
received a multitude of prophets from
God in Isaiah God emphasizes that this
special person will be sent to those
those who trust in Idols who say to
images you are our Gods the whole of
Arabia at the start of Muhammad's
prophethood consisted of idol
worshippers again this cannot be a
reference to Jesus because his people
the Israelites were monotheists and not
idle
worshippers moreover Jesus explicitly
told his disciples to stay away from the
idol worshipping Gentiles the exact
opposite of what God prophesies in
Isaiah
the gospel of Matthew tells us that
these 12 Jesus sent out with the
following instructions do not go among
the
Gentiles in Isaiah God states that this
special person will be a warrior and
will go forth as a mighty man he shall
stir up jealousy like a man of war he
shall cry yay Roar he shall Prevail
against his enemies throughout history
God has dealt sternly with those who are
sent guidance and persist in disbelief
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him had
to engage in many battles with the idol
worshipping enemies of God and
ultimately prevailed against them by
comparison Jesus did not triumph over
his enemies according to Christians he
was crucified by them moreover Jesus
wasn't interested in fighting he was not
a man of war he was a pacifist according
to the Bible he said such things as for
all who draw the sword will die by The
Sword and my kingdom is not of this
world if my kingdom were of this world
then would my servants
fight in Isaiah God gives us a list of
momentous achievements for this special
person chief of these is that the idol
worshippers will be turned back in utter
shame not only did the prophet Muhammad
conquer Mecca the Pagan capital of
Arabia but by the end of his life in
just 23 short years of prophethood
Arabia had shunned idol worship and now
worshiped the one true God of Abraham
this cannot apply to Jesus as it was
Christians themselves who were
humiliated and greatly ashamed for
hundreds of years after Jesus they were
persecuted at the hands of the Roman
Empire who were Idol worshippers they
executed some of the Apostles of Jesus
such as Peter and Paul Christians were
tortured and even fed to the
Lions finally fin Isaiah closes with an
admonishment from God hear you deaf look
you blind and see you have seen many
things but you pay no attention your
ears are open but you do not listen
which of you will listen to this or pay
close attention in time to come it seems
clear that the deaf and blind God is
talking about in this verse are those
who reject Prophet Muhammad peace be
upon him who among you will heed God by
acknowledging him who will listen and
pay close attention in time to
