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.
