song of solomon Chapter 5, Verses no. 16His mouth is most sweet: ye, he is altogether lovely. He is my beloved, and he is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem (English Translation: – King James Version)
Quran says that Prophet Muhammad PBUH is mentioned in Injil and Zabur (Bible) So I went through the Bible but could not find his name. Later on I come to know that Muhammad PBUH is mentioned in the original Hebrew scripture as quoted above from the Song of Solomon (this is a book of Bible)
THE REASON I COULD’NT FIND HIM IN ENGLISH BIBLE
In the Hebrew Bible the word for Muhammad PBUH is mentioned as word mahamadim, it is the name of last and final messenger of Almighty God, if you remove the “im” from word mahamadim, than it will be mahamd, because “im” is used for plural of respect in Hebrew.
Now when we translate any sentence into other language we are sound not to translate the Noun (Name), like if we say in English “Mr. Black is coming”, we will not translate it in Urdu as “Mr kala aa rha hai” but we will say “ Mr. Black aa rha hai”. Hence Mr. Black will remain Mr. Black in Urdu as well.
As told earlier that Muhammad PBUH is mentioned in Hebrew as mahamadim, the christen scholars translated mahamadim as Altogether lovely, for which they have no right to do so.
And now the christen world is reading Bible but cannot find the Prophet of Islam there. Now I was shocked again when I read the same verse in Urdu translation on internet which says :
“Haan aye yroshilam ki Aourto! Usska munh tamaam se sheereen angez hai, wo mera mahboob hai, wo meri pyari hai,”
there I found that Muhammad PBUH is not mentioned in there at all, not even the translation of mahamadim as English Bible
The preposition used in Urdu translation is feminine which shows that Solomon AS is talking about some beautiful lady.
Howe ever, in English translation the preposition is used as masculine. Confused!!………… let us see what Hebrew quotation says?? The word for preposition is “ZAHDUDI” in Hebrew. If we break the word it seems “ZEH-DUDI” where as “ZEH” mean this (for masculine) and “DUDI” means my beloved so the translation will be this is my beloved from this one example we can see that so called word of God
| Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the Old Testament: |
|
"Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures) in the law and the Gospel". |
| 1. | MUHAMMAD (PBUH) PROPHESISED IN THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY: |
|
"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 However, it is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who is like Moses (pbuh): |
i) |
[Mathew 1:18 and Luke 1:35 and also Al-Qur'an 3:42-47] |
ii) | Both were married and had children. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not marry nor had children. |
iii) | Both died natural deaths. Jesus (pbuh) has been raised up alive. (4:157-158) |
|
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] |
iv) | 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). |
v) | 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." |
iv) | 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). |
| 2. | It is Mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 18:19 |
|
| |
| 3. | Muhammad (pbuh) is prophesised in the book of Isaiah: |
|
"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". | |
| 4. | prophet Muhammad (pbuh) mentioned by name in the old testament: |
|
"Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem." "His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters In the Hebrew language im is added for respect. Similarely im is added after the name of Prophet Muhammad | |

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. | |
| 1. | 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." | |
| 2. | 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." | |
| 3. | Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7: |
|
"Ahmed" or "Muhammad" meaning "the one who praises" or "the praised one" is almost the translation of the Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise | |
| 4. | 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 referes to none other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) NOTE: All quotations of the Bible are taken from the King James Version. | |
