May the peace and blessings of almighty
God be upon all of you welcome back to
the proof that Islam is the truth and
we're talking today about Muhammad in
the Bible and we've been going through
some of those verses in the Bible that
indicate that show that might show us
that
Muhammad is the prophet of Allah
foretold in those scriptures certainly
there are people of the book rabbis
Christian priests Emperors who
recognized Muhammad for what he was May
Allah's peace and blessings be upon him
the last and final messenger let's have
a look at Isaiah the book of Isaiah in
the Bible in the 29th chapter in the
12th verse there's something remarkable
here and it says and the book is
delivered to him who is not
learned saying read this I pray thee and
he saith I am not learned this passage
is remarkable first of all the prophet
Muhammad is referred to as the
unlettered prophet the unlearned Prophet
The Prophet Muhammad May Allah's peace
and blessings be upon Him couldn't read
and he couldn't write he did not study
scripture not like Jesus who was bought
up amongst the rabbis and even at a
young age he amazed people with his
learning of the law so Jesus may God's
peace and blessings be upon him was
learned in the law but Muhammad lived in
Arabia a pagan land people did not know
about the scripture except for a a few
people amongst the children of Israel
some Jewish tribes who lived there
otherwise they were ignorant of that and
the prophet Muhammad himself was not
learned in the scripture and he's called
umii means not
learned and so it's exactly as the Bible
is saying the book and one of the names
of the Quran is alab the book is
delivered to him who is not learned who
is saying read this read this in Arabic
read this the very first verses that God
revealed to the Prophet Muhammad May
Allah's peace and blessings be upon him
as every Muslim knows what was it read
the angel Gabriel comes to the prophet
Muhammad while the prophet sallallah
alaihi wasallam he is meditating on the
mountain the jabble the mountain of
light overlooking Mecca he's sitting
there meditating he has escaped the
Troubles of Mecca the polytheism he goes
there to think about God about creation
about humanity and it is there that he
receives on the night of Ramadan in his
40th birthday he rece the angel Gabriel
comes to him says to him and the prophet
says I can't read again the angel
Gabriel says but this time he takes the
prophet and squeezes him and again the
prophet says I cannot read now the angel
Gabriel squeezes him even more tightly
and says read the prophet says what
shall I read so this is exactly what
happens the prophet says I am not
learned I cannot read how can I read I'm
not of those who can read this is
exactly how it is mentioned in Isaiah
29:12 check it out for yourself and I
must admit that when I first was reading
the life history of prophet Muhammad May
Allah's peace and blessings be upon him
as a Christian who used to be familiar
with the Bible I remember that passage
from the Bible and how exactly it fitted
the passage I was reading about the life
of prophet Muhammad and what happened in
this event that I had just described it
was truly remarkable also Isaiah in the
42nd chapter veres 1-13 I'm not going to
read the whole of it but it refers and
speaks about someone who is beloved to
God and he is mentioned as being from
the descendants of kidar now who is
kidar kidar is in fact the Second Son of
Ishmael a direct ancestor of the Prophet
Muhammad May Allah's peace and blessings
be upon him it seems very clear from
these statements in the Old Testament
that the
Jews were expecting a prophet to arise
from amongst the children of
Israel descended from
Kar that he will bring a law he will be
like unto Moses and that obviously many
Christians who had studied the Old
Testament or what they had what ever
scriptures they had recognize these
attributes as
well how about the gospels do we have
any hints as to the coming of Prophet
Muhammad in the gospels well there is a
passage it is quite a controversial
passage even to tell you the truth
amongst Christians but let's read it
it's in John in the Book of John the
Gospel of John in the 14th chapter and
it is the 16th verse and it goes and I
will pray the father and he shall give
you another comforter that he may abide
with you forever so the word as we find
it in English is comforter there's a lot
of controversy about what is the actual
Greek pericos what is this word actually
mean but some
Scholars have said that the word
actually in
aric means Ahmed Ahmed is indeed the
very name that is mentioned in the Quran
of the Prophet Muhammad May Allah's
peace and blessings be upon him that's
one of the names of the Prophet
muhammmad Ahmed and this is the name
that he is referred to in the Quran and
the Quran says the gospels refer to him
as Ahmed and actually
the uh the word Ahmed in
Aramaic means the comforter or it is
similar to the word Greek word pericos
that is used there and it's interesting
that he will abide with you forever the
final comforter after this there will
not be another let's look again let's
look in John 15 in verse 26 but when the
comforter is come whom I will send unto
you from the father even the spirit of
Truth which proceedeth from the father
he shall testify of me another fact of
course that Prophet Muhammad testified
to Jesus the Quran mentions about Jesus
and the prophet muhammmad made it and
Allah has made it a part of our religion
that we cannot be a Muslim unless we
believe in Jesus of course we believe in
Jesus as we believe he truly was a
prophet of God and the Messiah to the
children of Israel not as it is falsely
claimed part of God and the Son of God
which we believe is a blasphemy against
God so John 14:26 tells us but the
comforter the Holy Ghost whom the the
father will send in my name he shall
teach you all things and bring all
things to your remembrance whatsoever I
have said unto you and John 16 and 7 to4
veres says nevertheless I tell you the
truth it is expedient for you that I go
away for if I do not go away the
comforter will not come unto you but if
I depart I will send him unto you and
when he has come he will reprove the
world of sin and righteousness and of
judgment
an important thing I want to mention
here some Christians claim the comforter
is the Holy Spirit the holy spirit that
inspires them and helps them to speak in
tongues and so on and this is the holy
spirit they claim that you know fills
them and guides them however there's a
problem with this because Jesus says if
I don't go the holy spirit will not be
able to come yet the holy spirit is with
the disciples while Jesus is there as
well so to say that this comforter is
exactly the holy spirit in the sense
that Christians understand it doesn't
seem to fit the verses in fact if we
understand the Holy Spirit to be the
angel Gabriel that's what Muslims
believe Rus is the holy spirit R
spiritus holy Rus is in fact the same
one and the same Angel Gabriel who
brings down the Revelation so the new
revelation will not come the holy spirit
will not come with a new revelation
until Jesus has left so Jesus has to go
for the comforter for Ahmed for Muhammad
s. wasam to come and it says and he will
reprove the world of sin and of judgment
and and of
righteousness and sin because they don't
believe in me of meaning they don't
believe in Jesus truly as the Messiah
not as God and the Son of God no this is
a false belief about Jesus they don't
believe in Jesus as the Messiah that was
foretold in their scriptures
of righteousness because I go to my
father and you will see me no more in
other words if there is no Prophet with
the people then it is so much harder for
them follow God's guidance and to be
righteous and of judgment because the
price of this world is the prince of
this world is judged and I have yet many
things to say unto you but you cannot
bear them now how be it when he the
spirit of Truth is come he will guide
you unto all Truth for he shall not
speak of himself but whatsoever he shall
hear he shall speak do you remember that
what we read from Isaiah what we read
from Deuteronomy 18:18 it is the same
words repeating themselves he does not
speak of himself he does not speak by
his own desires he speaks what is
revealed to him Jesus is repeating those
words and he will show you things to
come and one of the things we're going
to be showing you in a forthcoming
episode are the Prophecies of the
Prophet Muhammad how the prophet
foretold about things that are going to
come to pass and we can see those things
happening right in front of us these
days and he shall glorify me meaning he
shall glorify Jesus how by telling the
truth about Jesus and keeping people
away from the lies that have been told
about Jesus for he shall receive of mine
and shall show it unto you we're going
to be talking about more about this
passage And discussing a little bit more
after the break don't go away stay with
us for the Prophecies of Prophet
Muhammad in the Bible the pro Pro that
Islam is the
[Music]
truth asalam alaikum welcome back to the
proof that Islam is the truth and we're
discussing some of the statements in the
Gospel of John about the comforter the
paraclet uh there's controversy we admit
about these passages even amongst
Christians it is very controversial but
it's interesting that Rudolph boltman in
the Gospel of John A Commentary he says
the paraclete is a parallel figure to
Jesus himself and this conclusion is
confirmed in the fact that the title is
suitable for both meaning both Jesus and
the comforter so he must be like Jesus
he must be similar to Jesus and it is
clear from
1416 that the sort there were sendings
of two paracletes Jesus and his
successor the one following the
other so what we see as I have described
how this description of the comforter is
so suitable for the prophet Muhammad May
Allah's peace and blessings be upon him
and it is perhaps these verses in the
chapter in the sorry the Gospel of John
that those Christians understood as to
be referring to the coming of the
Prophet Muhammad certainly when you
combine those things with the other
prophecies and the Old Testament that we
have been talking about in Deuteronomy
and how God Will Make A great nation out
of of Ishmael who on Earth could that
great nation from Ishmael be if it is
not the prophet Muhammad and his
companions and the great civilization
founded upon the belief in the one God
the worship of the one God the creator
of the heavens and the Earth the Quran
that calls us to respect and love Moses
Abraham
Jesus Noah the prophet sent to the
children of Israel they are mentioned in
the
Quran who else could it be who else is
this great nation if it is not the umah
the nation of Muhammad May Allah's peace
and blessings be upon him so I hope if
you're a Christian or if you're perhaps
a Jew watching this this has given you
something to think about certainly the
Muslims I am sure their faith will only
be enhanced and increased because of
these amazing things
now I want to read a really fantastic
it's a long story it's an amazing story
and it's well worth reading and it's the
story of a man called anel torida and he
was a priest and a Christian scholar and
he was a person who wrote a book he
converted to Islam and he wrote a book
the gift to the intelligent for refuting
the arguments of the Christians and in
the introduction to his book he writes
the story of how he became Muslim it's
really fascinating and especially in
respect to the paraclet and who is the
paraclet so let's go through it it's a
long story a fantastic story I'll do my
best to get through it make it
interesting first of all this anel was
born in a city of mayorca and as he
mentions he describes mayorca and that
big Merchant ships used to come there to
the harbor with different Goods uh and
he's mentioning that the city is a a
city and an island both at the same time
now he says that his father was a
well-respected man in the city and that
he was his only son and when he was six
he was sent to a priest who taught him
the gospel and logic that's obviously
common in those times that the priests
in fact were the only people who were
really learned and they could read and
write and there were also many of them
well instructed in philosophy so he
learned the gospel and logic and which
he finished in six years so this is by
the time that he was 12 I lived in the
church with an aged priest he was
greatly respected by the people because
of his knowledge and religiousness and
asceticism which distinguished his him
from other Christian priests questions
and requests for advice came from
everywhere from Kings and rulers along
with presents and gifts they hoped that
he would accept their presence and Grant
them His blessings the priest taught me
the principles of Christianity and its
rulings I became very close to him by
serving and assisting him with his
duties until I became one of his most
trusted assistants so that he trusted me
with the keys of his room in the church
and the food and the drink
stores he kept for himself only the key
of a small room where he used to sleep I
think and Allah know knows best that he
kept his treasure chest in there I was a
student and a servant for a period of 10
years then he fell ill and failed to
attend the meetings of his fellow
priests during his absence the priest
discussed some religious matters until
they came to what was said by the
almighty Allah through his Prophet Jesus
in The Gospel after him will come a
Prophet called paraclete it's
interesting that he says after he will
called come a prophet will
paraclete they argued a great deal about
this prophet and as to who he was among
the prophets everyone gave his opinion
according to his knowledge and
understanding and they ended without
achieving any benefit in that issue I
went to my priest and as usual he asked
me about what was discovered in the
meeting that day I mentioned to him the
different opinions of the priests about
the name paraclet and how they finished
the meeting without clarifying the
matter he asked me what was your answer
I gave my opinion which was taken from
interpretation of a well-known
exus he said that I was nearly
correct like some priests and the other
priests were wrong but the truth is
different from all of that this is
because the
interpretation of that Noble name is
only known to a small number of very
well-versed
Scholars and we possess only a little
knowledge I fell down and kissed his
feet saying sir you know that I traveled
and came to you from a far distant
country I have served you now for more
than 10 years and have attained no know
beyond estimation so please favor me and
tell me the truth about his name the
priest then wept and said my son by God
you are very much dear to me for serving
me and devoting yourself to me know the
truth about this name and there is great
benefit but there is also a great
danger and I fear that when you know
about this truth and the Christians
discover that
you will be killed
immediately I said by God by the gospel
and he who is sent with it I shall never
speak any word about what you will tell
me I shall keep it in my heart he said
my son when you came here from your
country I asked you if it is near to the
Muslims and whether they made raids
against you and if you made raids
against them this was to test your
hatred for
Islam know my
son that paraclet is the name of their
Prophet Muhammad to whom was revealed
the fourth book as mentioned by
Daniel his way is the clear way which is
mentioned in the gospel I said then sir
what do you say about the religion of
these Christians he said my son if these
Christians remained on the original
religion of Jesus then they would have
been on God's religion because the
religion of Jesus and all the other
prophets is the true religion of God but
they changed it and became unbelievers I
asked him then sir what is the Salvation
from this he said oh my son embracing
Islam I asked him will the one who
Embraces Islam be saved he answered yes
in this world and the next I said The
Prudent chooses for himself if you know
sir the Merit of Islam then what keeps
you from it he answered my son the
almighty Allah did not expose me to the
truth of Islam and the prophet of Islam
until after I have become old and my
body weakened yes there is no excuse for
us in this on the contrary the proof of
Allah has been established against us if
God had guided me to this when I was
your age I would have left everything
and adop Ed the religion of Truth love
of this world is the essence of every
sin and look how I am esteemed glorified
and honored by the Christians and how I
am living in affluence and comfort in my
case if I show a slight inclination
towards Islam they would kill me
immediately suppose that I was saved
from them and succeeded in escaping to
the Muslims they would say Do not count
your Islam as a favor Upon Us rather you
have been benefited Yourself by entering
the religion of Truth the religion that
will save you from the punishment of
Allah so I would live amongst them as a
poor man of more than 90 years without
knowing their language and would die
amongst them starving I am an all
Praises due to Allah on the religion of
Christ and on that which he came with
and Allah knows this from me so I asked
him do you advise me to go to the
country of the Muslims and adopt their
religion he said to me if you are wise
and hope to save yourself then race to
that which will achieve benefit for you
in this life and the next but my son
none is present with us concerning this
matter it is between you and me only
exert yourself and keep it a secret if
it is disclosed and the people know
about it they will kill you immediately
I will be of no benefit to you against
them neither will it be of any use to
you if you tell them what you heard from
me concerning Islam or that I encourage
you to be a Muslim for I shall deny
it they trust my testimony against yours
so do not tell a word whatever happens I
promised him not to do so he was
satisfied and content with my promise
and I began to prepare for my journey
and bid him farewell he gave me 50
golden Dinars and then I took a ship to
the city of mayorca where I stayed with
my parents for 6 months then I traveled
to Sicily and remained there for 5
months waiting for a ship Bound for the
land of the Muslims finally a ship
arrived abound for Tunis anyway he goes
on to mention how he went to Tunis and
he got off the ship and the Christian
Scholars who heard of his arrival came
to greet him because he was F he'd
become famous by this time for his
knowledge and so the Christian Scholars
came to greet him but instead indeed he
went to embrace Islam so this is the
story of anel to and of course how he
recognized how his teacher had
recognized the paraclet was in fact
Prophet Muhammad as had been mentioned
in the injil join us next time for
another episode of the proof that Islam
is the truth and until
then May the peace and blessings of
Allah be with you always and may Allah
guide us all closer to the truth
