00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

The 13th point is,

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

Moses and Mohammed, peace be upon them, both

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

of

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

them, besides being

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

prophets of God, they were statesmen,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

or they were like kings.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, was only

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

a prophet of God.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

Moses and Muhammad, peace be upon them, both

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

of them, besides being

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

the prophets of God, they were head of

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

state.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

They had the full state, which was not

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

the case with Jesus, peace be upon him.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

Moses and Muhammad, peace be upon them, both

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

of them were like kings.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

A king means a person who could give

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

the punishment of life and death.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

Which was not the case with Jesus, peace

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

be upon him. Jesus, peace be upon him,

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

says in the Gospel of John, chapter number

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

18, verse number 36.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

My kingdom is not of this world.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

So Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

like Moses, peace be upon him, and Jesus,

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

peace be upon him, is unlike Moses, peace

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

be upon him. Only on this prophecy I

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

I shall raise them up a prophet from

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

among thy brethren, like unto thee.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

Only this one point of the prophecy, that

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

the prophet should be like Moses, peace be

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

upon him, I've given no less than

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

13 similarities

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

between Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Moses, peace be

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

upon him. And 13 dissimilarities

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

between Jesus, peace be upon him, and Moses,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

peace be upon him.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

This prophecy does not befit

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

anyone

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31

except the last and final messenger, Prophet Muhammad,

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

peace be upon him.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

The prophecy continues.

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

I shall raise them up a prophet from

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

among thy brethren, like unto thee, and I

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

shall put my words into his mouth, and

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

he shall speak all that I command him.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

Almighty God says, I shall put words into

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

the mouth of this prophet, and he shall

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

say all that I command him. The revelations

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

were given to prophet Muhammad, peace be upon

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

him. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00

an unlettered, and whatever he got, he repeated

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03

verbatim, as though words that put his mouth.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

For example,

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

the first 5 verses of the Quran to

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07

be revealed were.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

Read, recite in the name of thy Lord

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

who has created.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

Who has created men from something which clings

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

a leech like

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23

substance.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

Read thy Lord is most bountiful.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33

Read

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

in the name of thy Lord who is

00:02:35 --> 00:02:35

most bountiful,

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

who taught men the use of the pen,

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

who taught men what he knew not.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

So whatever he got, whatever revelation he got

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

from almighty God, he repeated verbatim

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

as though words were put in his mouth.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

This was not the case with Jesus, peace

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54

be upon him. So this prophecy of Deuteronomy,

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

chapter number 18, verse number 18 does not

00:02:57 --> 00:03:00

befit anyone, but the last and final messenger,

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

Only from this one verse of the Bible,

00:03:08 --> 00:03:08

book of Deuteronomy,

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11

chapter number 18, verse number 18, it is

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

sufficient to prove

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

that Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19

is a prophet of Almighty God. The prophecy

00:03:19 --> 00:03:19

continues.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

The book of Deuteronomy, chapter number 18, verse

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

number 19.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:24

That whosoever

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

does not hearken unto my words,

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

which he shall speak in my name,

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

I will require it from him.

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

Some versions of the Bible say, I will

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

take revenge.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

Almighty God is saying

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

that, verily I say unto you, whosoever

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

does not hearken unto his words,

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

whosoever will not follow the words of this

00:03:47 --> 00:03:47

Prophet,

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

who will speak in my name,

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

I will requite of him. I will take

00:03:52 --> 00:03:53

revenge.

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55

That means if you do not follow the

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

teachings of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

almighty God is telling you in the Bible,

00:04:00 --> 00:04:01

I will take revenge.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:08

Any Christian who does not follow the teachings

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, almighty

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

God is telling in the Bible, he will

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

take revenge from you.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

The prophecy

00:04:19 --> 00:04:20

says, and whosoever

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23

will not hearken unto the words

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

which he shall speak in my name. Almighty

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

God is saying, if you do not heed

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

the words of this prophet, who will speak

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

in my name? And we know

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

in the last and final revelation of the

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

Quran, which was revealed to Prophet Muhammad peace

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

be upon him, every chapter of the Quran

00:04:38 --> 00:04:41

except for Surat Tawba chapter number 9 begins

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

with the formula.

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

In the name of Allah, most gracious, most

00:04:47 --> 00:04:47

merciful.

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

It is fulfillment of the prophecy.

00:04:50 --> 00:04:53

Whosoever will not hearken unto his word, which

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

he shall speak in my name.

00:04:56 --> 00:04:57

Saying

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

is far superior to saying in the name

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

of God, because God is general.

00:05:04 --> 00:05:05

In the name of Allah,

00:05:06 --> 00:05:07

it's a proper noun.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

And whosoever shall not hearken unto his words,

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

which he shall speak in my name.

00:05:14 --> 00:05:17

The name of almighty God and the proper

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

name of Almighty God is Allah. Not only

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

in the Quran, also in the Bible.

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

That's the reason when Jesus Christ, peace be

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

upon him, when he was put on the

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

cross. It's mentioned in the gospel of Mark,

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

chapter number 15, verse number 34 and gospel

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

of Matthew, chapter number 20

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

7, verse number 46.

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

When Jesus Christ, peace be upon, was put

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

on the cross, on the 11th hour he

00:05:38 --> 00:05:38

says,

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

So as to say, Oh God, Oh God,

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

why have thou forsaken me?

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

Alhamdulillah,

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48

in all the translations of the Bible, in

00:05:48 --> 00:05:49

all the versions of the Bible,

00:05:50 --> 00:05:53

irrespective of whichever language is translated into, English,

00:05:53 --> 00:05:53

Hindi,

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56

French, German, Portuguese.

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

The original words of Jesus Christ, peace be

00:05:58 --> 00:05:59

upon him, has been

00:06:02 --> 00:06:05

So as to say, then the translation says,

00:06:06 --> 00:06:07

oh God, oh God, why has thou forsaken

00:06:07 --> 00:06:08

me?

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10

I'm asking you a question, does

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

sound like, oh God, oh God, why has

00:06:14 --> 00:06:15

thou forsaken me?

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

Does it sound like, Jehovah, Jehovah has thou

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

forsaken me? He says no.

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

Hebrew and Arabic are sister languages.

00:06:25 --> 00:06:26

If you

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

translate into Arabic, it is

00:06:33 --> 00:06:34

It sounds similar.

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37

And if you read

00:06:37 --> 00:06:38

the Scofield's

00:06:39 --> 00:06:41

Bible, it says Allah means

00:06:41 --> 00:06:44

a l a h. Allah,

00:06:44 --> 00:06:45

the name of

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46

God.

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

Even Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, he

00:06:49 --> 00:06:52

called Almighty God by Allah, not by God.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:56

The prophecy says, whosoever will not hearken unto

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

his words, which he shall speak in My

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

name. Almighty God is saying My name, that

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

is Allah. And every chapter of the glorious

00:07:03 --> 00:07:06

Quran except for Suratoba chapter 9 begins with

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08

the beautiful formula. Bismillahir

00:07:08 --> 00:07:11

Rahmanir Raheem. In the name of Allah, most

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

gracious, most merciful.
