The 1 prophet in detail about Deuteronomy, chapter

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

number 18, verse number 18 to 22.

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

This is the 2nd book of Isaiah, chapter

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

number 29, verse number 12. Prophet Muhammad, peace

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

be upon him, is also mentioned by name

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17

in the Old Testament.

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

It's mentioned in the song of Solomon, chapter

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

number 5, verse number 16. In Hebrew I

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

will say, it says,

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

He's most sweet.

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

He's altogether lovely. He's my beloved. He's my

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

friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

Here, the name of Prophet Muhammad, peace be

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

upon him, is there. It says Muhammadim.

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

In the Hebrew and Semitic languages, when we

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

want to give respect to someone, we add

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

him to it. So to the name of

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

Muhammad is added m, it becomes mamadim.

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

And they've translated into altogether lovely.

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

But the original name of Muhammad

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

is there in the Old Testament, Song of

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

Solomon, chapter number 5, verse number 16.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

We will discuss a few prophecies

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

mentioned about Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam in the

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

new testament.

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

Allah says in the Quran in surasaf, chapter

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

number 61, verse number 6, that Jesus, peace

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

be upon him, said,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

oh, children of Israel, I have been sent

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

as a messenger to you,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31

confirming the laws that came before me and

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

giving glad tidings of a messenger to come

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

whose name shall be Ahmed.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

There are several prophecies

00:01:37 --> 00:01:40

of Muhammad in the Old Testament, as well

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

as the New Testament.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

A few important prophecies about Muhammad

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

in the New Testament.

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

The Jews,

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

they were waiting for the Messiah,

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

but they did not believe Jesus Christ, peace

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

be upon him, was the Messiah, because it

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

was known to them that before the Messiah,

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

Elias will come. And Jesus Christ, peace be

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

upon him, told that.

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

He explicitly mentioned. It's mentioned in the gospel

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

of Matthew, chapter number 17, verse number 11

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

to 13.

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

Elias

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

will surely come before

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

and he shall put things straight.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

He has already come, but you know him

00:02:15 --> 00:02:15

not.

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

Then the disciples understood what Jesus Christ, peace

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

be upon him, is talking is about John

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

the Baptist.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

The Elias which is supposed to come before

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

the Messiah Jesus Christ peace be upon him,

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

was John the Baptist.

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

Jesus Christ peace be upon him also said

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

in the gospel of Matthew chapter number 11,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

verse number 11. There is not a human

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

being born of a woman

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

which has risen

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

greater than John the Baptist.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

The Jews,

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

they were waiting

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

for the Messiah,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

for the Christ,

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

and Elias.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:50

So the Jews,

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

they sent priests and Levites

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

to John the Baptist.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

It's mentioned in the Gospel of John, chapter

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

number 1, verse number 21.

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

And they asked John the Baptist,

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

That why aren't you very clear?

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

Why don't you tell us?

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

Art thou the Christ?

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

And John the Baptist confesses.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:14

And he said, I confess to you, I

00:03:14 --> 00:03:15

am not the Christ.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

I am not the Messiah.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

And we know Jesus, Christ, peace be upon

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

you, was the Messiah. So John the Baptist

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

could not lie.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

And he says, I'm not the messiah.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

The next question they ask,

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

are thou Elias?

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

And he says no. That's the third question.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

Are thou that prophet?

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

He says no. Basically, in gospel of John,

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

chapter number 1, verse number 21 to verse

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

number 25, there were 3 questions asked to

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

John the Baptist.

00:03:43 --> 00:03:44

Art thou the Christ?

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

And he says no. And we know he

00:03:46 --> 00:03:47

was not the Christ. He was not the

00:03:47 --> 00:03:48

Messiah.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

The second question. Are thou Elias?

00:03:51 --> 00:03:54

He says no. Now there's a contradiction between

00:03:54 --> 00:03:56

Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, and John

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

the Baptist.

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

Between and And both of them, according to

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

us, they were prophets of God.

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05

We cannot say that either of them lied.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

This, we leave it to the Christian to

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

solve the problem. Who told a lie? We

00:04:09 --> 00:04:10

will not interfere.

00:04:11 --> 00:04:12

We aren't so much concerned

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

about the second question, who is Elias?

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

It's the problem of the Bible and the

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

Christian. We will not interfere.

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

We don't take sides. But we,

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

Muslims,

00:04:22 --> 00:04:25

are more bothered about the third question.

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

Art thou that prophet?

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

And the answer is no. John the Baptist

00:04:31 --> 00:04:32

says no.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:33

And

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

who is this that prophet?

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

If you read in the cross reference, in

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

any Bible with concordance,

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

it will tell you that prophet is same

00:04:42 --> 00:04:43

prophet which is prophesized

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter number 18,

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

verse number 15 to 18.
