Zakir Naik – Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) Fits the Description Jesus Gave of the Prophet to Come

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

			The word that they translate
		

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

			to comforter
		

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

			in the Greek and Aramaic,
		

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10

			they say it is paraklutos.
		

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

			Paraklutos
		

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

			actually means an advocate or friend. But irrespective
		

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

			whether they translate as comforter or advocate or
		

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

			friend, all of these
		

00:00:20 --> 00:00:21

			perfect
		

00:00:22 --> 00:00:22

			prophet
		

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

			But if you go to the original manuscript,
		

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

			it is not periklitus, it is periklitus.
		

00:00:29 --> 00:00:29

			And periklutos
		

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

			means
		

00:00:31 --> 00:00:31

			the praiseworthy.
		

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

			One who praises.
		

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

			Translated into Arabic,
		

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

			it means Ahmed, Which was another name from
		

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

			Muhammad
		

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

			The original word is periclitus,
		

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

			which if you translate means the praiseworthy.
		

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

			The one who praises. The one who praises
		

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

			in Arabic, if you translate, means Ahmed, which
		

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

			was another name of Prophet Muhammad As is
		

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

			mentioned in the Quran, in Surasaf, chapter number
		

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

			61, verse number 6. Jesus Christ, peace be
		

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

			upon him, said, Job in Israel, oh children
		

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

			of Israel, I've been sent as a messenger
		

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

			to you, confirming the law that came before
		

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

			me, and giving glad tidings of a messenger
		

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

			to come whose name shall be Ahmed.
		

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

			So original word is which
		

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

			means Ahmed. But irrespective,
		

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

			whether it is
		

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

			or Whether it is
		

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

			the one who praises or advocate or friend,
		

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

			or comforter.
		

00:01:23 --> 00:01:27

			All these meanings perfect perfectly the last and
		

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

			final messenger, prophet Muhammad
		

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

			Further if you go, it's mentioned in the
		

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35

			gospel of John, chapter number 16, verse number
		

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

			12 to 14. Jesus
		

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

			says,
		

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

			I have many things to send to you,
		

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

			but he cannot bear them now. For he,
		

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

			when the spirit of truth shall come, he
		

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

			shall guide on to all truth. He shall
		

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

			not speak of himself. All that is here,
		

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

			shall he speak.
		

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

			He shall show you things to come. He
		

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53

			shall glorify me.
		

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

			I repeat, Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
		

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

			said in the gospel of John, chapter number
		

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

			16, verse number 12 to 14, Jesus Christ,
		

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

			peace be upon him, says, I have many
		

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

			things to say unto you, but he cannot
		

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08

			bear them now, for he, when the spirit
		

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

			of truth shall come, he shall guide you
		

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

			onto all truth. He shall not speak of
		

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14

			himself. All that hears shall speak. He shall
		

00:02:14 --> 00:02:17

			glorify me. He, he, he, he, he.
		

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

			5, 6, he. Telling it's not the holy
		

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

			spirit.
		

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

			He shall show you things to come, he
		

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

			shall glorify me. The only messenger of God,
		

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30

			the only human being who claimed to be
		

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

			messenger of God, after Jesus Christ peace be
		

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

			He's even mentioned in the last revelation of
		

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

			Almighty God, the glorious Quran.
		

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

00:02:55 --> 00:02:59

			Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, testified and
		

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

00:03:01 --> 00:03:04

			the Quran by name no less than 25
		

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05

			times.
		

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

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

			He shall show you things to come. He
		

00:03:22 --> 00:03:26

			shall glorify me. This prophecy refers to no
		

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

			Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
