Muhammad in The Bible 2: the prophet from Mount Paran? Deuteronomy 33:2and Habakkuk 3:3

Image
Deuteronomy 33:1-2 combines references to Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. It speaks of God (i.e. God's revelation) coming from Sinai, rising from Seir (probably the village of Sa'ir near Jerusalem) and shining forth from Paran. According to Genesis 21:21, the wilderness of Paran was the place where Ishmael settled (i.e. Arabia, specifically Mecca). (1) This is another common argument used to support the claim, that as mentioned in the Qur'an, Mohammed was foretold in the Bible. I would like to use soft words as much as possible, but this argument requires using mental gymnastics. I have two main issues with the argument: 1. Does Seir really refer to Jerusalem? The argument works if it makes reference to 3 major prophets of Islam. Moses,Jesus and Muhammad. Peace be upon them. However with all due respect, why attributing Seir (in the land of Moab) to Sa'ir?  In Deuteronomy 33:2 it's written  מִשֵּׂעִיר֙ (miś·śê·‘îr, from Seir). As for the town near Jerusale...

Muhammad in the Bible 1: Who is the Prophet like Moses?

Previous articles documented how the Qur'an, The Hadith, The biography of the prophet and the commentaries of respected classic Sunni Scholars attest the Trustworthiness of the Torah and the Gospel. In multiple passages of the Qur'an and the Hadith its documented a claim, that in the time of Muhammad there were clear references that would be easily found in the Torah and the Gospel: Those who follow the Apostle, the illiterate prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful .(1) Archaeological findings allows us to know that the manuscripts available at the time of Muhamm...

The Torah that Jesus held in his hands according to Islam

Reading the Qur’an, I came to the following question. Was the Torah at the time of Jesus trustworthy or not? After reviewing the Qur’an, the interpretations of some verses as well as understanding the Arabic grammar, I came to the following conclusion:                                              The Torah at the time of Jesus was trustworthy .   I present in this articles a small study to sustain this claim.                         My invitation to anyone is to then review the claim of Islam, can you find in today’s Bible without a shade of doubt prophecies concerning the Prophet of Islam?                                                              ...

Only God can know and control the future

Summary Daniel 9 presents a prophecy in which clear reference is made to the Messiah. Careful examination of the verses and review of historical records show an amazing result. The prophecy pin points with mathematical precision when the Messiah would be violently killed and would put end to sacrifices. ______________________________________ Jesus spoke to the people who knew the most the Scriptures those days saying: Luke 12:56 (HCSB) 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why don't you know how to interpret this time? Why did Jesus say this? A reference for Muslim readers: “Verily, Allah, with Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allaah is All‑Knower, All‑ Aware (of things)” [Luqmaan 31:34]. I’ve heard many comments like “Christianity is a false and man-made religion o...
