Muhammad
Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned by name in the Song of Solomon 5:16. The Hebrew
word used in this verse is Mahamaddim. The ending letters ‘im’ is a
plural of respect, majesty and grandeur, just as in Elohim (the God). Without
‘im’ the name becomes Mahamadd which was translated as “altogether lovely” in
the Authorized Version of the Bible or ‘The Praised One’, ‘the one worthy of Praise.’ In Arabic, Muhammad means the one who is most praised.
- Song of Solomon 5:16
His
mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and
this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
The phrase “he is altogether lovely” reads in the Hebrew as “he is
Mahamaddim.”
Haggai 2:7-9
And I will shake
all nations, and the Himada of all the nations will come; and I will
fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts. Mine is the silver, mine
is the gold, says the Lord of hosts, the glory of my last house shall be
greater than that of the first one, says the Lord of hosts; and in this place
I will give Shalom, says the Lord of Hosts. (Quoted from Reference 4).
The Hebrew words Mahmad, Mahamod, Himdah, and Hemed appearing in the Old
Testament and the Arabic words Muhammad and Ahmad are all derived from the same
root “H, M and D,” and refer to the same general meaning. These Hebrew words
convey qualities as well as the person depending on the phrase used in the Old
Testament. The Hebrew word Shalom and the Arabic word Salam have the same
meaning - peace. They are derived from the root alphabets “S, L and M.” Islam is
also derived from the same root alphabets and means the path of peace.
Bhavishya Puran, Prati Sarg Parv III: 3, 3,
Mantra 5
A malechha (belonging to a foreign country and speaking
foreign language) spiritual teacher will appear with his companions. His
name will be Mahamad…
Sama Veda II: 6, Mantra
8
“Ahmad acquired religious law (Shariah) from his Lord.
This religious law is full of wisdom. I receive light from him just as from
the sun.”
Prophet Muhammad’s other name was Ahmad (both are from
root letters h, m and d), both words have the meaning the “praised one” except
the latter emphasizes a higher degree to it. The Holy Qur’an states that
Prophet 'Isa (Jesus, pbuh) mentioned the last prophet’s name as
Ahmad.
Epistle of Sasan I,
Dasatir
When the Persians will do such deeds, a man from
among the Arabs will be born whose followers shall overthrow and dissolve
the kingdom and religion of the Persians
…Instead of the temple of fire
and the house of idols they will see the House of Abraham without any
idols as their Qibla.
…And they (Muslims) will be a mercy to the
worlds.
…And their leader (Prophet Muhammad) will be an eloquent man
whose words and message will be clear and far-reaching.
Kedar
Genesis 25:12-16
12 Now these
are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
13 And these are the names of the
sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the
firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14 And Mishma, and
Dumah, and Massa,
15 Hadar, and Tema,
Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these
are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes
according to their nations. Kedar and Ancient Arabs
Makkah,
Bakka, Baca And Paran
Psalms 84:5-6
5 Blessed is
the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain
also filleth the pools.
Qur’an 3:96-97
96 The
first House (of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakka full
of blessing and of guidance for all kinds of beings:
97 In it are signs
manifest; (for example) the Station of Abraham; whoever enters it
attains security; pilgrimage thereto is a duty men owe to Allah those
who can afford the journey; but if any deny faith Allah stands not in need of
any of his creatures.
Genesis 21:17-21
17 And God
heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath
heard the voice of the lad where he is.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold
him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
19 And God
opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled
the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
20 And God was with
the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of
Egypt.
Atharva Veda X, 2, Mantra
33
Brahma (Abraham) stayed in this abode which is
illumined by heavenly light and covered with Divine blessings. It is the place
that gives (spiritual) life to the people and is unconquerable.
Ka’bah
And Makkah
Isaiah 60 Verses 6 to 18:
6
The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah;
all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they
shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.
7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto
thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify
the house of my glory.
10 And the sons of strangers shall build up
thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I
smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.
11 Therefore thy
gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings
may be brought.
12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee
shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
18 Violence
shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates
Praise.
Atharva Veda X, 2, Mantras 28 and
31
28. Whether it is built high, its walls are in a straight
line or not, but God is seen in every corner of it. He who knows
the House of God, knows it because God is remembered there.
31. This
abode of the angels has eight circuits and nine gates. It is
unconquerable, there is eternal life in it and it is resplendent with
Divine light.
The Ka’bah is not exactly cubical and its sides are not of
the same length. The Holy Sanctuary (Haram) of which Ka’abah is at the center
remains open day and night throughout the year and it is always filled with
people praying and supplicating to Allah (the One True God). Muslims face toward
it during prayer forming circle in the Haram (Holy House) and the circle extends
out in this manner throughout the planet Earth.
The holy sanctuary (Haram) has remained unconquerable. Abraha al-Ashram, the
Abbysinian viceroy of Yemen, tried to demolish it in 570 CE with a strong army
and hordes of elephants but was prevented from entering the city (Holy
precinct). The people of Makkah had decided not to defend the Ka’bah, fled the
city and took refuge in nearby hills overlooking Ka’bah. By Allah’s Command, the
‘Abaabeel’ (flying creatures, birds) pelted stones at Abraha’s army and
decimated it, leaving them like green crops devoured by cattle. This incident is
described in the Surah (chapter) 105 of the Qur’an. The year 570 CE is popularly
known by the Arabs as ‘The year of the Elephant,’ and Prophet Muhammad was born
in that year.
I
Cannot Read
Isaiah 29:12 (read verses 11
through 18 for full context)
And the book is delivered to him that is not
learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not
learned.
Revelation Piece By Piece
Isaiah 28:10-13 (read verses 10
through 16 for full context)
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept
upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a
little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will
he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye
may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not
hear.
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept,
precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little,
and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken,
and snared, and taken.
Kuntap Sukt 4, Atharva
Veda
Disseminate the truth, O ye who glorifies [Ahmad], disseminate the truth, just as a bird sings on a
ripe fruited tree. Thy lips and tongue move swiftly like the sharp
blade of a pair of shears.
It refers to the Prophet Muhammad’s condition when he received revelation
through Archangel Jibril (Gabriel).
Mine
Elect
Isaiah 42:1-13
1 Behold my
servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have
put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2
He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the
street.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall
he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 He shall not
fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles
shall wait for his law.
5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the
heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that
which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and
spirit to them that walk therein:
6 I the LORD have called thee in
righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for
a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7 To open the blind
eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and
my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven
images.
9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do
I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
10 Sing unto the
LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down
to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants
thereof.
11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice,
the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from
the top of the mountains.
12 Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare
his praise in the islands.
13 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he
shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall
prevail against his enemies.
Him
That Fled
Isaiah 21:13-17
13 The burden
upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye traveling companies of Dedanim.
14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him
that fled.
15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn
sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
16 For thus
hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an
hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:
17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men
of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath
spoken it.
Ten
Thousands Saints
Deuteronomy 33:1-3
1 And this
is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of
Israel before his death.
2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose
up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran,
and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a
fiery law for them.
3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy
hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy
words.
Rig Veda V, 27, Mantra 1
The
wagon-possessor, the truthful and truth-loving, extremely wise, powerful and
generous, Mamah [Mohammad] has favored me with his words. The son of
the All-powerful, possessing all good attributes, the mercy
for the worlds has become famous with ten thousand
[companions].
Kuntap Sukt, Atharva Veda, Mantra
3
He gave the Mamah Rishi a hundred gold coins, ten
chaplets, three hundred steeds and ten thousand cows.
It refers to one hundred early companions of the Prophet, eighty of them
migrated to Abyssinia; ten elect companions who were given the good news of
paradise by the Prophet; three hundred thirteen companions of the battle of
Badr; and ten thousand companions who accompanied the Prophet in the triumphant
entry of Makkah and cleansing of Ka’bah of Idols. A cow or an ox as described in the
Vedas represents both as a symbol of war and peace. The companions of the
Prophet had both these qualities. They were saintly men, pious and compassionate
like a cow, and they were fierce and strong in establishing peace and justice.
A
Prophet From Among Their Brethren
Deutronomy 18:18-19
18 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.
19 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.
And he (Ishmael) shall dwell in the presence of all his
brethren. (Genesis 16:12).
And he (Ishmael) died in the presence of all his
brethren. (Genesis 25:18).
One of numerous examples of ‘…and I will put my words into his mouth…’ is
given below from the Qur’an; the verses begin with the word ‘Say’:
"Say (O Muhammad): He Is Allah the One and Only;
Allah,
the Eternal Absolute;
He Begetteth Not, Nor Is He Begotten:
And There Is
None like unto Him.
(Qur’an 112:1-4)
The evidence for ‘he shall speak in my name’:
Every Surah (Chapter) of the Qur’an, except the ninth, begins with the
words:
“In The Name of God, Most Gracious, Most
Merciful.”
There
Never Was A People Without A Warner
Qur’an 35:24
Verily We have sent thee (Muhammad) in
truth as a bearer of glad tidings and as a warner: and there never was a
people without a warner having lived among them (in the
past).
Qur’an 16:36
For We assuredly sent amongst every
People an apostle (with the Command) “Serve Allah and eshew
Evil”: of the people were some whom Allah guided and some on whom Error
became inevitably (established). So travel through the earth and see what
was the end of those who denied (the Truth).
Allah’s Covenant With Prophets
Qur’an 3:81-82
Behold! Allah took the covenant of the
Prophets saying: “I give you a Book and Wisdom; then comes to you an Apostle
confirming what is with you; do ye believe him and render him help.” Allah
said: “Do ye agree and take this My Covenant as binding on you?” They said:
“We agree.” He said: “Then bear witness and I am with you among the
witnesses.” If any turn back after this they are perverted transgressors.
No
Distinction Between Prophets
Qur’an 3:84-85
Say (O Muhammad): “We believe in Allah
and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham,
Isma’il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, and in (Books) given to Moses, Jesus
and the Prophets from their Lord; we make no distinction between one and
another among them and to Allah do we bow our will (in Islam).” If anyone
desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah) never will it be
accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good).
A
Mercy To The Worlds
Qur’an 21:107
And We did not send you (O
Muhammad) except as a Mercy to the worlds.
No
Compulsion In Religion
Qur’an 2:256
There is no compulsion in
religion.
The right direction is henceforth distinct from
error.
And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in Allah hath
grasped a firm handhold which will never break.
Allah is Hearer,
Knower.
Allah: Allah is the proper
name of the One True God, creator and sustainer of the universe, who does not
have a partner or associate, and He did not beget nor was He begotten. The word Allah is used by the Arab Christians and Jews for The God (Eloh-im in
Hebrew; ‘Allaha’ in Aramaic, the mother tongue of Jesus, pbuh). The word Allah does not have a plural or gender.
pbuh: Peace Be Upon Him. This statement is used for all Prophets of
Allah. Abreviations derived from Arabic words are (s) and
(as).
