1. Genesis 49:10: - The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Explanation:a) A chain of Israelite prophethood would cease when “he” (Muhammad PBUH) comes and other nations will follow him. It is he who will hold the scepter in his hand from the pulpit. b) This word “he” was written as “SHILOH” in earlier Bibles. It is changed to “he”. “SHILOH” means Peace, meaning Islam. c) All prophets were sent for a particular nation and for a particular area but Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was sent to entire mankind of the world. ALLAH has called him Rahmatullah lil Alamin i.e. he is the blessing to the whole Universe. ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL (IPSI)

2. Deuteronomy 18:15: - Moses said, “The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me (Moses); unto him ye shall hearken.”

3. Deuteronomy 18:18-19: - The Lord said to Moses:- I (God) 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. 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. ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

Explanation:a) Meaning of brother – Abraham had two sons, Ishmael and 14 years junior Isaac. Their descendents were therefore cousins (brethrens) to each other. This prophecy addressed Moses (PBUH) that a prophet would also come from the progeny of Ishmael. Hence the use of word ‘brothers’. b) Christians try to suggest that this prophecy is for the coming of Jesus (PBUH). This is wrong. It is neither for Jesus nor for any of over two dozen prophets who came between Moses and Jesus because they’re all from the progeny of Isaac. Ishmael was the brother to Isaac and Muhammad (Ahmed) come from the progeny of Ishmael. Therefore this verse is pointing towards Muhammad (PBUH). ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL (IPSI)

c) You must listen to him, i.e. follow him. d) I (God) will put words in his mouth and he will tell them everything I (God) command.



Qur’an was revealed by ALLAH to Muhammad over a period of 23 years. The very first line of all revealed Surahs begin with – “In the name of ALLAH, Most Gracious, Most Merciful”. It is unlike the Biblical books which are “According to Matthew, or Mark, or Luke or John”, etc. In the Qur’an, ALLAH is speaking in first person to His creation – mankind. It is the name of ALLAH and no one else. ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL (IPSI)

e) I (God) MYSELF will call him to account – Each individual will be accountable to ALLAH for his/her beliefs and his/her deeds on the Day of Judgment. f) Christians try to project the names of other prophets i.e. John the Baptist or Jesus but the argument fails because they all, i.e. Moses, John the Baptist and Jesus were from the line of Isaac. Only Muhammad was from the progeny of Ishmael who was the brother to Isaac.

g) A Prophet like you – i.e. like Moses, and Moses is like Muhammad because:i) Both are born in normal manner. ii) Both are married and they raised a family. iii) Both became prophets. iv) Both received Divine Revelations – Torah and Qur’an respectively. v) Both were leaders and rulers of their followers. vi) Both died a natural death. h) On the contrary:i) Jesus was not born normally. ii) Nor his end was in a normal way. iii) Therefore Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18-19 refer to Muhammad and not to anyone else.

Deuteronomy 32:21: - “They have moved me (God) to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.” Explanation:a) “Angered ME with their worthless idols”. 360 idols in Khana-e-khaba before the advent of Islam angered God. b) “Who are not a people… that has no understanding.” The reference is to the people of Arabia who are backwards before the advent of Islam. c) Will make them envious and angry by those who are not a people because they will be overtaken by Islam which will spread forth from Arabia.

Isaiah 9:6: - Prophet Isaiah said: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor,* The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Explanation:a) Muhammad had the burden of running the government at Medina. b) Muhammad was called a Wonderful Counselor and a Prince of Peace. The word Islam means ‘peace’ as well as ‘surrender’. c) Other words are superfluous. In the Bible, 80% of words and passages are continuously added by human authors to mislead the reader towards a different angle. ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL (IPSI)

- A prophecy concerning Arabia was made by the prophet Isaiah much before the arrival of Jesus. It says – “An oracle (i.e. Divine Revelation) concerning Arabia- In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye traveling companies of De’danim. The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.* For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war. For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail: 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.” .

From Kedar, his descendants began to be called Quraish and Prophet Muhammad came from the Quraish tribe. He brought justice among all. This time ALLAH conferred prophethood on Muhammad who was an Arab.

c) When Haggai 2:6 is read with Malachi 3:1 and Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18 and Isaiah 21:13-17 one is forced to conclude that all the Biblical prophets were prophesying about the coming of Muhammad who is symbolically called as the Prince of Peace, the desire of all nations, the Comforter, the Counselor, the Helper, the Paraclitos, the Paraclete, the Spirit of Truth, the Holy One, the rider of ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL (IPSI) the

23. Malachi 3:1:

- “Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.” Explanation:- Up to Jesus, all prophets came only from the progeny of Israel. Therefore as usual the Jews and Christians were once again expecting the Prophet from the progeny of Israel. But it did not happen. This time ALLAH gave the prophethood to Muhammad who did not belong to the progeny of Israel but the progeny of prophet Ishmael. This time is was different. Muhammad was an Arab. He came to clean up the Khana-ekaaba which had 360 idols. He was to prepare the way for mankind before the Day of Judgment. Muhammad was to abrogate all false gods and to show a straight way to reach God. ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL (IPSI)

24. Matthew 21:42-44: - Jesus saith unto them, “Did ye never read in the Scriptures, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.”

ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL (IPSI)

32

Explanation:a) Arabs were rejected with prophet from the long time history. This time because all too important and Muhammad was appointed by Almighty ALLAH as a prophet. This was also according to biblical prophecies and revelation .The royal authority and scepters (the Royal staff) was taken away from Israelites and was handed over to the Arab preacher. Muhammad did not speak in his own name. He spoke, “In the name of ALLAH, Most Gracious, Most Merciful”. He formed a universal religion meant for the whole of humanity. He removed all sorts of idol worship and false godhood from Khana-e-Khaaba. He rejected trinity. Instead he brought pure monotheism which is Islam i.e. submission to ALLAH both materially and spiritually. b) Islam is metaphorically spoken as a “capstone”.

25. Isaiah 40:3-5: - The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, “Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: and the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.” ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

35

26. Mark 1:2-3: - The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in the prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.” The voice of one crying in the wilderness, “Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.”

ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

36

Explanation:a) Here the command of god to the all prophets who were asked to prepare the way for the coming of the last prophet Muhammad PBUH. b) We know Jerusalem is not a desert. John the Baptist and Jesus both are born in the same year. They were contemporaries. The stay for first was 31 years and of the other was 33 years. c) A voice a calling in the desert Arabia applies to Muhammad and not to any other prophet .And Muhammad prayed all his life – “Show me the straight way.” Surah Fatihah 1:6. ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

37

27. Mark 1:7-8:

- Mark writes about the confession that was made by John the Baptist – And this was his message:- “There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.” Explanation:a) Here John the Baptist is talking about the coming of the prophet somewhere in the future. Some interpret it to mean it remain to Jesus. No, this is wrong because Jesus was already there. John the Baptist and Jesus were contemporaries. In fact John the Baptist is talking about the coming of the Last Prophet-Muhammad b) John the Baptist went to Baptize you with water but Muhammad will Baptize you with colour of ALLAH. See Surah Al-Baqorah 2:138, “And who can give a better hue (colour) then Allah.” ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY 38 INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

28. Luke 3:16: - Here Luke also writes about the confession that was made by John the Baptist:- John answered, saying unto them all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he (Muhammad) shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire.” Explanation:a) John the Baptist went to Baptize with water at Jordan river but prophet will Baptize you with the colour of ALLAH. Islam adopts only ALLAH’s colour, and who can give better colour then ALLAH. (Monotheism) Ref. Qu’raan Surah Al Baqorah 2:138 (sibgho-tal-laah). ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

39

b) Christians suggest that the prophecy is referred to Jesus. This is wrong because this confession indicates about a prophet who is yet to come sometime in distant future. John the Baptist was born in the same year. They both come from the progeny of Ishaaq. In prophethood, they were contemporaries to each other. John the Baptist will baptize Jesus in the Jordan river but Qu’raan overwhelms the Believers with the colour of absolute monotheism and the pervading power of Qu’raan. c) “With Fire” would mean the all powerful Law of Qu’raan which Muhammad preached with fiery enthusiasm, courage and conviction. ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

40

d) The confession is by John the Baptist in regard to untying the shoe laces of last prophet Muhammad PBUH who was yet to come. e) To suggest that a prophecy is in regard to Angel Jibreel is to cause more confusion. Angel Jibreel already existed before Jesus times the Angel exist and will exist in the future also.

29. Luke 24:49: - According to the Gospel of Luke, Jesus says, “And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.” Explanation:a) Jesus is saying that when he (Jesus) goes, he is going to send prophet Muhammad whom God has promise to send. b) Until you have been clothed with power. Until you has receive the powerful Qu’raan. c) Stay to the city of Jerusalem and continue to pay tribute to Jerusalem until you have been commanded by God by face towards Khana-e-Kaaba at Mecca (Ref. Qu’raan Surah Al-Baqorah 2:142-143). “The fools among the people will say – “What has turned them from the Qibla to which they ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY 42 were used to.” INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

30. John 14:16:

- Jesus says, “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter (Muhammad), that he may abide with you for ever.” Explanation:a) Jesus knew, as much as all other prophets, that another passenger will come finally. He will be the last counselor till the day of judgment. He will be able seal the of Prophets. Surah Al-Ahzaab 33:40. b) In Holy Bible – New International Version (as revised in August 1983) the word used for he coming Prophet Muhammad is- counselor. Many other Bible has used words like comforter, helper, advocate, councilor and PARACLETOS, etc. The original words in Greek Bible was PARACLETOS which means “price one” which means Ahmad. Ahmad is the heavenly names of Muhammad. ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

31. John 14:25-26:

- Jesus says, “These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” Explanation:a) Word Holy Ghost is deliberately added later by human authors to divert away the attention. Barnabas who remained with Jesus throughout has used the actual word which Jesus must have spoken i.e. Ahmad. This word which in the Gospel in Barnabas (Ahmad is the heavenly name of Muhammad). b) In my name. I have words are superfluous and are added unnecessarily by human authors to mislead the readers intentionally .The addition is evident and Bible is full of such additions. Sometimes they even contradict each other. c) When Muhammad will come he will teach you all things and remind you everything I (Jesus) have said to you. ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

44

32. John 15:26-27:

- Here Jesus says, “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 (i.e. Jesus): and ye also shall bear witness (that I was a Prophet), because ye have been with me from the beginning.” Explanation:He is Muhammad will testify about me i.e. that:a) Jesus was miraculously born through a “word of ALLAH”. b) Jesus was a prophet. He was neither a son of God nor one of the three. c) He did not die on the cross. d) He was not buried. e) Therefore his coming out of the grave does not arise. f) But he was raised alive to heaven by ALLAH. g) And he will come back and would die a natural death (one birth and one death only). Finally he would guide the nations towards Islam. ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

45

33. John 16:7-8: - Jesus says, “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter (Ahmad) will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him (Ahmad) unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.” Explanation:a) Mohammad will come after Jesus as the Last and the Final Messenger of God as the seal of prophets. Surah Al–Ahzaab 33:40. b) World of guilt-the world is full of evil and guilt. c) He will convict the world of guilt – in regard to sin and in regard to righteousness i.e. he will warn and enunciate right from the wrong and sin from the righteousness. ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

46

34. John 16:12-14: - Jesus further said, “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth (Ahmad = Muhammad), is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.” Explanation:a) Spirit of truth that is another prophet would come. He will be embodiment of truth i.e. Muhammad. b) When the prophet comes he will guide you into all truth. Nothing will remain doubtful and confused in religion. ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

47

c) He will not speak on his own authority, unlike “according to Matthew”, “according to Mark”, “according to Luke” or “according to John”. His words will not be “according to Muhammad”. Every word in Qu’raan is from Allah. There is nothing in it from Muhammad. Qu’raan is the words from Allah. There is nothing in it from Muhammad. Qu’raan is the word of Allah. d) He will recite only that what he hears from ALLAH through revelation brought by Angel Gabriel. e) All Surah in Qu’raan commence – “In the names of ALLAH, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.” ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

48

f) He (Muhammad) is tell you what is to come i.e. about the ends of the world and universe, i.e. the day of Judgment when all humans will come out from their grave to be present in from of ALLAH for Judgment. Righteous will go to heaven and disbelievers to hell. There will be complete justice, no outside will help come. g) He (Muhammad) would bring a glory to me (Jesus) i.e. he will announce the true and right place to the prophet hood to Jesus against the false allegation against him that he is god. That will neither embarrass Jesus nor would it be derogatory to God. ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

CONCLUSIONS 1) Despite the fact that human authors have changed, replaced and substituted many words and passage in order to mislead the simple readers, The Bible still remains a Biblical publication. It still has some passages and narrations which are near in meaning and substance to Holy Qu’raan which is word of ALLAH. 2) However, the modern scholars say that some 80% of writings in Bible is pure verbosity and superfluous. Perhaps remaining 20% does tally with the statements of Qu’raan. Thus it is wrong to call the whole Bible as the Holy Bible. It will be safe to say 20% of Holy Bible. 3) There are many passages in Bible which are sensual and vulgar which one would be shy to read even to his wife. ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)

50

4) In bible so many prophets have prophesied about the coming of another prophet (Ahmed = Muhammad). He has been named as the Desire of Nation, The Prince of Peace, One who brought the fiery law (Qu’raan). John the Baptist even said that – “One powerful than I, will come, the thongs (the straps) of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.” 5) Nobody in earth should deny authority of ALLAH. HE does what HE wants. In matters of belief-one should not be rebellious to his creator unless he wants to go to Hell either through ignorance or through arrogance. It is God who has announced all this through all his prophets. Truth must be believed, not denied. “Wa maa ‘alai naa il lal balaa ghul mubeen.” (Our duty is only to deliver the Clear Message) (Qu’raan, Surah Yaa seen 36:17) ISLAMIC PROPAGATION SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL(IPSI)
