[QUOTE="muslim, post: 6349, member: 853"] The Biblical prophecies on the advent of the Prophet Muhammad [img]http://www.islam-guide.com/salla.jpg[/img] are evidence of the truth of Islam for people who believe in the Bible. In [b]Deuteronomy 18[/b], Moses stated that God told him: [b]“I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.” (Deuteronomy 18:18-19)[/b].[url="http://www.islam-guide.com/ch1-3.htm#footnote1"][color=#800080]1[/color][/url] From these verses we conclude that the prophet in this prophecy must have the following three characteristics: [b]1)[/b] That he will be like Moses. [b]2)[/b] That he will come from the brothers of the Israelites, i.e. the Ishmaelites. [b]3)[/b] That God will put His words in to the mouth of this prophet and that he will declare what God commands him. Let us examine these three characteristics in more depth: [b][b][size=2][color=#009933]1) A prophet like Moses:[/color][/size][/b][/b] There were hardly any two prophets who were so much alike as Moses and Muhammad. Both were given a comprehensive law and code of life. Both encountered their enemies and were victorious in miraculous ways. Both were accepted as prophets and statesmen. Both migrated following conspiracies to assassinate them. Analogies between Moses and Jesus overlook not only the above similarities but other crucial ones as well. These include the natural birth, the family life, and death of Moses and Muhammad but not of Jesus. Moreover Jesus was regarded by his followers as the Son of God and not exclusively as a prophet of God, as Moses and Muhammad were and as Muslims believe Jesus was. So, this prophecy refers to the Prophet Muhammad and not to Jesus, because Muhammad is more like Moses than Jesus. Also, one notices from the Gospel of John that the Jews were waiting for the fulfillment of three distinct prophecies. The first was the coming of Christ. The second was the coming of Elijah. The third was the coming of the Prophet. This is obvious from the three questions that were posed to John the Baptist: [b]“Now this was John’s testimony, when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Christ.” They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” (John 1:19-21)[/b]. If we look in a Bible with cross-references, we will find in the marginal notes where the words [b]“the Prophet”[/b] occur in [b]John 1:21[/b], that these words refer to the prophecy of [b]Deuteronomy 18:15[/b] and [b]18:18[/b].[url="http://www.islam-guide.com/ch1-3.htm#footnote2"][color=#800080]2[/color][/url] We conclude from this that Jesus Christ is not the prophet mentioned in [b]Deuteronomy 18:18[/b].

[b][b][size=2][color=#009933]3) God will put His words in the mouth of this prophet:[/color][/size][/b][/b] The words of God (the Holy Quran) were truly put into Muhammad’s [img]http://www.islam-guide.com/salla.jpg[/img] mouth. God sent the Angel Gabriel to teach Muhammad [img]http://www.islam-guide.com/salla.jpg[/img] the exact words of God (the Holy Quran) and asked him to dictate them to the people as he heard them.

If we looked to the Holy Quran, we will find that all its chapters, except Chapter 9, are preceded or begin with the phrase, “In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.” Another indication (other than the prophecy in [b]Deuteronomy[/b]) is that [b]Isaiah[/b] ties the messenger connected with Kedar with a new song (a scripture in a new language) to be sung to the Lord [b](Isaiah 42:10-11)[/b].
