So long…So Far…So What…
War on Terror or is it War On Islam?JESUS(P.B.U.H.) PREDICTED MUHAMMAD(P.B.U.H.)
JESUS(P.B.U.H.) PREDICTED MUHAMMAD(P.B.U.H.)
The three most popular religions in the world are Judaism,Christianity and Islam. All three can be traced to father Abraham. Jews consider the Old Testament as their holy scripture and Moses as their prophet but do not acknowledge Jesus or Muhammad. Christians believe in the Old Testament and also the New Testament and call this collection The Holy Bible. They believe in Moses and Jesus but don’t believe in Muhammad. Muslims believe in all three and donot discriminate between them and believe in the Holy Quran as the final word of God. It is only in Islam that the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims can find accommodation. But most of our Christian and Jewish friends say that the Bible does not say anything about Muhammad and that Jesus never mentioned the coming of another prophet after him. However, a close examination of this subject will prove otherwise. Being a Muslim and at the sametime expounding prophecies from the Jewish and Christian scriptures may seem a bit strange. Even though all the information is given in the Holy Quran, Christians and Jews do not accept it as the word of God.
Old Testament:
God addresses Moses (Deuteronomy18:18):”I will raise them up Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee[Moses], and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that shall command him.” 1.Brethren of Israelites (descendants of Abraham through Isaac) are Ishmaelites (descendants of Abraham through Ishmael.) Therefore, Jesus is here excluded as he is an Israelite; otherwise it should be written “a prophet from among ourselves.” 2.”like unto thee”. Is Muhammad not like unto Moses? If not accepted, this promise has yet to be fulfilled. 3.”put my word s in his mouth. “So God’s revelation came through Gabriel, and Prophet Muhammad’s own thinking was not involved. In the next verse (Deuteronomy18:19), God says” And it shall come to pass that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.” In the Roman Catholic version of the Bible it says,”I will seek vengeance of him”. No other verse in the Bible is followed by such a threat!
NewTestament: The Jews were waiting for the fulfillment of three distinct prophecies: One, the coming of Christ, two, the coming of Elias, and three, the coming of that prophet. Therefore, they sent priests and Levites to John the Baptist to inquire who he really was. (John1:20-21): And he [John the Baptist] confessed and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. And they asked him,What then? Art thou Eli’as? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. The crucial question here is: Art thou that prophet? Who was then the long awaited prophet after the advent of Jesus and John the Baptist? Was he not the one like unto Moses (eutronomy 18:18) who is Muhammad [pbuh]? To the followers of Christ I say, why not apply that acid test which the Master himself wanted you to apply to any would be claimant to prophethood? He had said:” By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes from the thorns, or fig from the thistles? every good tree will bear good fruit and every evil tree will bear evil fruit…by their fruits ye shall know them.(Matthew 7:16,20) 3. hereby know ye the spirit of God: every Spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in flesh is of God. (1John 4:2). Here, again the “Spirit of God” means prophet of God and “every Spirit” would stand for every prophet. At present one billion Muslims throughout the world accept the Immaculate Conception of Jesus, his miracles and him being the Christ on the authority of Muhammad alone without demanding any proof. I have yet many things to say unto you,but ye cannot bear them now ,howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you in all truth: for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear, he shall speak: and he will show you things tocome.”(John 16:13). Seven masculine pronouns in a single verse! There is not another verse in the 66 books of the Protestant Bible or in the 73 Books of the Catholic Bible with seven masculine pronouns, or even seven feminine pronouns, or even neuter genders. But still Christians argue that this “he” is the Holy Ghost. This unique verse is not for a ghost but for a unique person; “Muhammad”! 5. He(the spirit of truth) shall glorify me(Jesus):for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.(John 16:13) The rank hatred of the Jews which lead them to slander Jesus and his mother is bad, and the over infatuation of the Christians for Christ is also bad. Muhammad the messenger of God condemned both these extremes, and elevated Jesus to his true status, as the Messiah, a great prophet and reformer. Love him, respect him, revere him, follow him; but do not worship him!, because he never said, “I am God” or “worship me”. Worship is due to God alone. This is true glorification. Historically, morally and prophetically, Muhammad the last and final messenger of God,”The Spirit of Truth” is the only one to guide mankind into all truth. Without any real efforts on the part of the Muslims, we are told by the Westerners themselves that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world today. The world population has increased 136% from 1934 through 1984, Christianity with 47% and Islam with 235%. See The Plain Truth February 1984, in its 50 Year Anniversary issue, quoting from The World Almanac and Book of Facts 1935 and Reader’s Digest Almanac and Yearbook 1983. May God Almighty give us the courage and wisdom to see the truth and guide us to the right path. Amen.

Because of limited time, I cannot get into all the erreneous statements made in this article, here are just some reflections: Quote from this article: “…Muhammad the messenger of God condemned both these extremes, and elevated Jesus to his true status, as the Messiah, a great prophet and reformer.”
Well, quite to the opposite, Muhammad did not elevate Jesus, he downgraded Him out of the same ignorance as many “Christians” downgrade Jesus to a 2nd person of an alleged trinity (this teaching is not in the Bible)
The Jews understood this and accused Jesus: Joh 10:32-33 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Another Scripture: 1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Also my friends, please check out Matthew 28;18 and all other Scriptures in the Bible. From the first Book of the Bible to the last Book of the Bible, there is only ONE God. Who is this God? It is Jesus, He is God manifested in the flesh. Jesus is God or you could also say: Jesus is Allah and every true prophet of God (Allah) will proclaim this truth.
Please study the Bible prayerfully and obey the plan of salvation, as the apostles preached in Act 2:38-39 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
If you ever receive the gift of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, your spiritual eyes will be opened.
”I have yet many things to say unto you,but ye cannot bear them now ,howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you in all truth: for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear, he shall speak: and he will show you things tocome.”(John 16:13) This scripture was badly misquoted by the writer of this article, Jesus refers here indeed to the spirit of God, which was poured out at the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2) Millions of people have received the Spirit of God in our days with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the spirit of God gives utterance. If you receive the Holy Ghost, you will speak not Arabic or English, but in an unknown language you never learned. It is the greatest gift from God to you. It is prophesied in the Old Testament in Ezekiel 11:19-20; 36,27 and in the Book of Joel etc.
When we seek for truth, we will find it. Jesus said: Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Even more, God is seeking us, because He loves you and me. Religion will not bring us to heaven, but when we follow Jesus, we will come to the Father. What we have to understand is, that Jesus had to natures, when He walked here on this earth. He was fully man and fully God. He was the Son of God, or God manifested in the flesh.
May God lead and guide you in all the truth. The Bible is the true Word of God and glorifies and exalts Jesus, and there is no other God beside Him. He is the Alpha and Omega. (Revelation 1,8, please read the whole chapter)
God bless you

Sorry, caught a typo and correct it herewith: What we have to understand is, that Jesus had two natures, when He walked here on this earth. He was fully man and fully God. He was the Son of God, or God manifested in the flesh.
(apologize, wrote to instead of two)
God bless you

One problem with this article is that Jesus is real and not linked to islam in any way, shape or form.
Good gosh you spit on all other religions and then assume you can call Jesus you own. How pathetic. He is not a prophet of islam. Never has been and never will be.
velvethammer wrote @
One more thing if the Bible would of been written after the quran, then you all would not of even known of Jesus. Why is blasphemy against Christianity and the Bible ok, but when the tables are turned it is altogether different.

This is to Velvethammer,
One problem with your opinion is that you are extremely ignorant of Islam so don’t make radical statements like “Jesus is not a prophet of Islam…Never has been and never will be…” Jesus is a prophet of Islam whether you recognize this fact or not. The only thing I have to say to you is ,” Oh Disbelievers, let you be with your religion and I will be with mine…And Allah will be the judge of truth on the day of Judgement…” Why don’t you do some REAL research before you state your opinions….May Allah guide you to the truth.

Jesus peace be upon him never told his people to worship him,he told them to worship God Almighty..so if you claim he is god then think that how can a god tell his people to worship another God.You people are all mixed up.he was a man and a prophet of God Almighty.Our faith (Muslim faith) is not complete unless we accept all the prophets including Jesus peace be upon him.we testify that:
1.I Beleive in the oneness of God Almighty.
2.Beleive on the Angels of Allah
3.On all the Books prior to the Holy Quran.
4.On all the Prophets including Jesus Peace be upon him.
5.On the day of Judgement.
6.and on fate what ever good or bad from The AlMighty Allah.
7.And the life after death.
so it is clear that who ever claims to be a Muslim he must aslo beleive in the prophet Hood of Jesus.
Jesus has not died as written in the Holy Quran but was raised up Alive and his crusification appeared so .it never happend .and He will Come back and Follow the Quran and the sunnah.

The Arabs will be granted an honored place in the Kingdom of Christ. In response to Abraham’s prayer, “O that Ishmael might live before Thee”, God promised, “I will make of him a great nation”.
In a prophecy relating to the future Kingdom of Christ on earth, the Bible declares of certain Bedouin Arab tribes descended from Ishmael: “They shall shew forth the praises of the Lord”. Their offerings “shall come up with acceptance on Mine altar, and I will glorify the house of My glory” (Isaiah 60:6-7).
This passage predicts the conversion of the Arabs to the “hope of Israel” as the truth in Christ Jesus is called (Acts 28:20), and their incorporation into his Kingdom to be set up on earth. Both the land and the people will experience vast changes. They will have to replace the Koran with the Bible; they will have to change from the worship of Allah to that of Yahweh the God of Israel (Exodus 3:14); they will be compelled to acknowledge Christ instead of Mahomet; their mutual antagonism and restlessness, their hatred of Israel will cease, and they will have to make pilgrimage to Jerusalem instead of to Mecca (Zechariah 14:16).
I am a Christian.
Muhammed is totally wrong.
Why wouldn’t God want to save his people?
Hope. Is in Christ.

Please people before you start talking aout trinity and that Jesus is son of God or got promoted to God, look at history first. Yeshua his real name as well as Esa in the Quran was never part of any trinity until 300 years after Yeshua PBUH left. Everything that Christians are today today is manipulated . Another thing is that the people that wrote the Bible….yes people wrote the Bible not God had made major errors and ALOT of contradictions. i dont believe in people, I believe in one God. Allah is God, Jesus called his father Ellah, Jesus prayed like muslims do, so did all the other prophets. It was until the white man decided to construct Christianity and have everyone seated on benches. Please know your history before you start talking words out of the bible written by PEOPLE not God.

For those of you who question Prophet Muhammad (SAW)’s recognition in Christians’ Scriptures, please read the following:
Old Testament
The Qur’an mentions in Surah Al-Araf chapter 7 verse 157:
“Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures) in the law and the Gospel”.
Prophet Muhammad, prophesised in the Book of Deuteronomy:
Almighty God speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18:
“I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.”
The Christians say that this prophecy refers to Jesus (pbuh) because Jesus (pbuh) was like Moses (pbuh). Moses (pbuh) was a Jew, as well as Jesus (pbuh) was a Jew. Moses (pbuh) was a Prophet and Jesus (pbuh) was also a Prophet.
If these two are the only criteria for this prophecy to be fulfilled, then all the Prophets of the Bible who came after Moses (pbuh) such as Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist, etc. (pbut) will fulfill this prophecy since all were Jews as well as prophets.
However, it is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who is like Moses (pbuh):
Both had a father and a mother, while Jesus (pbuh) was born miraculously without any male intervention.
[Mathew 1:18 and Luke 1:35 and also Al-Qur'an 3:42-47]
Both were married and had children. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not marry nor had children.
Both died natural deaths. Jesus (pbuh) has been raised up alive. (4:157-158)
Muhammad (pbuh) is from among the brethren of Moses (pbuh). Arabs are brethren of Jews. Abraham (pbuh) had two sons: Ishmail and Isaac (pbut). The Arabs are the descendants of Ishmail (pbuh) and the Jews are the descendants of Isaac (pbuh).
Words in the mouth:
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was unlettered and whatever revelations he received from Almighty God he repeated them verbatim.
“I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.” [Deuteronomy 18:18]
Both besides being Prophets were also kings i.e. they could inflict capital punishment. Jesus (pbuh) said, “My kingdom is not of this world.” (John 18:36).
Both were accepted as Prophets by their people in their lifetime but Jesus (pbuh) was rejected by his
people. John chapter 1 verse 11 states, “He came unto his own, but his own received him not.”
Both brought new laws and new regulations for their people. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not bring any new laws. (Mathew 5:17-18).
It is Mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 18:19
“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not harken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”
Muhammad (pbuh) is prophesised in the book of Isaiah:
It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12:
“And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.”
When Archangel Gabrail commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by saying Iqra – “Read”, he replied, “I am not learned”.
New Testament
Al-Qur’an Chapter 61 Verse 6:
“And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said, ‘O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me and giving glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed.’ But when he came to them with clear signs, they said, ‘This is evident sorcery!’ ”
All the prophecies mentioned in the Old Testament regarding Muhammad (pbuh) besides applying to the Jews also hold good for the Christians.
John chapter 14 verse 16:
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.”
Gospel of John chapter 15 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.”
Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7:
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you”.
“Ahmed” or “Muhammad” meaning “the one who praises” or “the praised one” is almost the translation of the Greek word Periclytos. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7. The word ‘Comforter’ is used in the English translation for the Greek word Paracletos which means advocate or a kind friend rather than a comforter.
Paracletos is the warped reading for Periclytos. Jesus (pbuh) actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the Greek word Paraclete refers to the Prophet (pbuh) who is a mercy for all creatures.
Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise that the prophecy clearly says that only if Jesus (pbuh) departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that the Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus (pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth, and again when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc. Hence this prophecy refers to none other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 12-14:
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit 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, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me”.
The Sprit of Truth, spoken about in this prophecy refers to none other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

you don’t know the Scriptures. Old Testament never refers to Muhammed, it refers to Jesus over 120 Times in Fulfilled Prophecy.
John 14:7-10 [7] If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” [8] Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” [9] Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, `Show us the Father’? [10] Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
John 17:11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name–the name you gave me–so that they may be one as we are one.
John 8:42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me.”
see, you quote the New Testament but don’t understand it.
God created a Covenant with Noah and Abraham. why? because in his infinite Wisdom he knew what he was doing. Noah was the ever lasting Covenant fulfilled in Christ, while Abraham was the physical connection with God.
Isaiah 9:6-7 [6] For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. [7] Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. …
