Prophecies About Muhammad in the Bible
📖Isaiah 29:12-19
Then the book is delivered to one who is illiterate, saying, “Read this, please.” And he says, “I am not literate.” Therefore the Lord said: “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men, Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. Woe to those who dig deep to hide their plans from the LORD. In darkness they do their works and say, “Who sees us, and who will know? You have turned things upside down, as if the potter were regarded as clay. Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pottery say of the potter, “He has no understanding”? [Is] it not, yet a little while very and shall be turned, Lebanon, into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field, be esteemed, On that day the deaf will hear the words of the Book, and out of the deep darkness the eyes of the blind will see, Once more the humble will rejoice in the LORD; the needy will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel Jacob.
The translation of the KJV is correct in conveying the original meanings of the text. Now, Christians have added commentary claiming that this verse is about Jesus. They used John 7:15, but this verse does not fit with what Isaiah says, that a book was delivered, and he said he did not know how to read. But the lies of Christians did not stop there; they even added this: “The Jews there were amazed and asked, ‘How did this man get such learning without having been taught?’” Does this verse match what Isaiah says? No, because Isaiah states that a book was delivered to him, and he said he did not know how to read. But Jesus never said anywhere that he did not know how to read, nor was any book delivered to him, saying “Read.” In Islam, we believe this verse refers to Prophet Muhammad, as mentioned in the Quran and Hadith. This is because the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was illiterate, and when the angel Gabriel (Jibreel) commanded him to “Read” (Iqra), he responded, “I am not literate.” This perfectly aligns with Isaiah 29:12, making it a direct prophecy about him. Furthermore, Isaiah 29:17 states, “Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field.” In ancient times, Lebanon represented a barren land, but today, it is part of the Muslim world, fulfilling this prophecy. The rise of Islam transformed the Arabian Peninsula and surrounding lands into centers of knowledge, civilization, and prosperity. This is further proof that the prophecy refers to Prophet Muhammad. This does not mean the entire Bible is real. Rather, to hide the true message, the book has been fabricated with added lies and different collections of books. However, we can see that God left certain truths in it to expose the lies of Christians and reveal the true message.

Prophecy Fulfilled in Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
In Islam, we believe this verse refers to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, as mentioned in the Quran and Hadith. This is because the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was illiterate, and when the angel Gabriel (Jibreel) commanded him to “Read” (Iqra), he responded, “I am not literate.” This perfectly aligns with Isaiah 29:12, making it a direct prophecy about him.
Sahih al-Bukhari 3
The angel Gabriel came to him and asked him to read. The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, “I do not know how to read.” The Prophet (ﷺ) added, “The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read, and I replied, ‘I do not know how to read.’ Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read, but again I replied, ‘I do not know how to read (or what shall I read)?’ Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, and then released me and said,Quran 96:1-5
“Read in the name of your Lord, who created (all that exists).
Created man from a clot.
Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,
Who taught by the pen,
Taught man what he did not know.”Furthermore, Isaiah 29:17 states,
“Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field.”
In ancient times, Lebanon represented a barren land, but today, it is part of the Muslim world, fulfilling this prophecy. The rise of Islam transformed the Arabian Peninsula and surrounding lands into centers of knowledge, civilization, and prosperity. This is further proof that the prophecy refers to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Quranic Confirmation of the Prophet Receiving Revelation
Quran 42:52
“And thus We have revealed to you a Spirit of Our Command. You did not know what the Book was, nor what faith was, but We have made it a light by which We guide whom We will of Our servants. And indeed, you surely guide to a straight path.”Quran 96:6-8
“In fact, man transgresses,
Because he sees himself self-sufficient.
Surely, to your Lord is the return.”Quran 48:29
“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, but merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating, seeking Allah’s bounty and pleasure. Their mark is on their faces from the traces of prostration. This is their description in the Torah, and their description in the Gospel is like a seed that sprouts its shoot, then strengthens it so it becomes thick and stands upon its stem, delighting the sowers. Through them, Allah enrages the disbelievers. Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness and a great reward.”The reference to a “seed” in the verse you quoted from the Qur’an (Surah Al-Fath 48:29) has an interesting parallel with the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus (Isa, peace be upon him) uses the metaphor of a seed to describe the growth of faith, the kingdom of God, and righteous believers. A relevant passage from Matthew 13:31-32 states:
“He told them another parable: ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.’”
Comparison with Qur’an (48:29)
- The Qur’an describes the believers as a seed that sprouts, strengthens, and stands firm, symbolizing the growth, unity, and resilience of the Muslim community under the leadership of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
- The Gospel describes the kingdom of God as a mustard seed that grows into a large tree, symbolizing the expansion and strength of true faith.
-
Prophecy of Ten Thousand in Hadith
-
This is further evidence that the prophecy in Deuteronomy 33:2 refers to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his ten thousand companions during the conquest of Makkah.
Sahih al-Bukhari 4276
“The Prophet (ﷺ) left Medina (for Mecca) in the company of ten thousand (Muslim warriors) in (the month of) Ramadan, and that was eight and a half years after his migration to Medina. He and the Muslims who were with him proceeded on their way to Mecca.”Deuteronomy 33:2
“The LORD came from Sinai,
And dawned on them from Seir;
He shone forth from Mount Paran,
And He came with ten thousand saints;
From His right hand came a fiery law for them.”- Sinai refers to the land of Moses (Musa عليه السلام).
- Seir refers to the land of Jesus (Isa عليه السلام).
- Mount Paran refers to Makkah, where Prophet Muhammad ﷺ appeared.
- Ten thousand saints refer to the companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ who conquered Makkah without bloodshed.
This prophecy perfectly aligns with the historical event of the conquest of Makkah, proving that Deuteronomy 33:2 was a foretelling of the coming of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
The phrase “He came with ten thousand saints” aligns perfectly with the conquest of Makkah, where Prophet Muhammad ﷺ marched with ten thousand companions, fulfilling this prophecy.
The Meaning of “The LORD Came”
Some Christians misinterpret this verse, assuming that God Himself physically appeared, but the Bible uses such language metaphorically for divine actions through prophets and messengers.
1 Samuel 28:12-14 explains the use of the Hebrew word Elohim, which is often translated as “God” but can also mean a divine presence, an angel, or a prophet’s spirit. “When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out at the top of her voice and said to Saul, ‘I see a god (Elohim) coming up out of the earth.’” (1 Samuel 28:12) Here, Elohim is used for the spirit of Prophet Samuel, not God Himself. This shows that in Biblical language, divine presence does not mean God’s literal appearance but rather His guidance through prophets. Similarly, in Deuteronomy 33:2, when it says “The LORD came from Sinai”, it means that God’s guidance came through Prophet Moses, not that God physically descended. The same applies to Seir (Jesus) and Paran (Prophet Muhammad ﷺ). This proves that Deuteronomy 33:2 is a prophecy of three major prophets—Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all). The final fulfillment occurred in Mount Paran (Makkah), where Prophet Muhammad ﷺ appeared with ten thousand companions and brought the final divine law, the Quran.
The Rejection of the Children of Israel and the Coming of Muhammad
Jesus Condemns the Children of Israel for Killing Prophets
📖Matthew 23:37
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.”
- This verse refers to the Children of Israel, who repeatedly disobeyed God and even killed some of His prophets. Jesus exposes their hypocrisy: they claim to follow God while rejecting and even killing His messengers.
-
The Hypocrisy of Building Tombs for the Prophets
Luke 11:47-48
“Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them. So you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.”Jesus condemns the Jews for pretending to honor prophets while their ancestors were the very ones who killed them. Instead of repenting, they continued in the same disobedience.
The Kingdom of God Taken Away from the Israelites
Matthew 21:43
“Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you (Twelve Tribes of Israel) and given to a people who will produce its fruit.”Because of their disobedience and rejection of prophets—including Jesus himself—the spiritual leadership was taken away from them and given to another nation that would obey God and bear the fruits of righteousness.
Who Are These People?
Genesis 17:20
“And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.”- The word “fruit” in Matthew 21:43 refers to those who will obey God and follow His guidance.
- Genesis 17:20 connects this “fruit” to Ishmael’s descendants, showing that his nation will be blessed and will prosper.
- Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was from Ishmael’s lineage, fulfilling the promise that the Kingdom of God would be given to a nation that produces its fruit—the Muslims.
- The blessing shifted from Isaac’s lineage to Ishmael’s, fulfilling Matthew 21:43.
The Quran Confirms the Rejection of Israel
Quran 3:21
“Those who disbelieve in the signs of Allah and kill the prophets without right and kill those who order justice from among the people – give them tidings of a painful punishment.”This verse confirms the same message found in Matthew 23:37 and Luke 11:47-48. The Children of Israel killed prophets and rejected God’s commands, and their rejection continues to have consequences.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Warned Against the Same Actions
Sahih al-Bukhari 3453, 3454
“On his death-bed, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) put a sheet over his face, and when he felt hot, he would remove it from his face. While in that state, he said, ‘May Allah’s Curse be on the Jews and the Christians, for they build places of worship at the graves of their prophets.’ (By that) he intended to warn (the Muslims) from what they (i.e., Jews and Christians) had done.”- This hadith confirms why Jesus condemned the Jews for building tombs for prophets (Luke 11:47-48).
- Instead of following their teachings, they turned their graves into places of worship.
- Prophet Muhammad came to correct these distortions and bring people back to the pure worship of God.
Ishmael (PBUH) and God’s Promise to Him
📖Genesis 21:17-20
“God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, ‘What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.’ Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink. God was with the boy as he grew up. He lived in the wilderness and became an archer.”
🔹 “God was with the boy” → This phrase does not only refer to Ishmael (PBUH) but also to his descendants.
🔹 “I will make him into a great nation” → This was fulfilled through the descendants of Ishmael, including Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
🔹 The well of water aligns with the Zamzam well in Makkah, a major event in Islamic tradition.
🔹 The presence of God with Ishmael’s lineage shows divine support for his descendants, including Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who brought the final guidance for humanity.
📖Genesis 25:9
“His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite.”
🔹 This verse proves that Ishmael and Isaac (PBUT) remained connected, even though Ishmael lived separately.
🔹 Ishmael (PBUH) was not an outcast, as both sons came together to bury their father, Abraham (PBUH).
🔹 This refutes the claim that Ishmael was abandoned; rather, he remained a significant part of the family and God’s plan.
The Divine Shift: From the Children of Israel to a New Nation
Throughout history, God sent guidance to the Children of Israel, but they repeatedly rejected and killed His prophets. Because of their continued disobedience, the spiritual leadership was taken away from them and given to a new nation—a people who would uphold God’s message and bear the fruit of righteousness.
A Foreigner Prays Toward the Sacred House
-
📖2 Chronicles 6:32-33
“As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of Your great name and Your mighty hand and Your outstretched arm, when they come and pray toward this temple, then hear from heaven, Your dwelling place. Do whatever the foreigner asks of You, so that all the peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears Your Name.”🔹 This prophecy speaks of a foreigner (non-Israelite) who prays toward the Temple.
🔹 Muslims originally prayed toward Jerusalem (Al-Aqsa Mosque), fulfilling this verse.
🔹 But later, God shifted the Qibla (prayer direction) to Makkah, showing that while Al-Aqsa remains sacred, the final spiritual center was now the Kaaba.📖Quran 2:142-144
“The foolish among the people will say, ‘What has turned them away from their prayer direction (Qibla) which they used to face?’ Say, ‘To Allah belongs the east and the west; He guides whom He wills to a straight path.’Indeed, We see the turning of your face, [O Prophet], toward the heaven, so We will surely turn you to a Qibla that will please you. So turn your face toward Al-Masjid Al-Haram (Kaaba). And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it…”
🔹 Al-Aqsa remains honored, as the site of Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ Night Journey (Quran 17:1), but the final Qibla was shifted to Makkah.
A New Revelation in Another Language
📖Isaiah 28:11-12
“For He will speak to this people with stammering lips and another tongue. To whom He said, “This is the abode with which you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing,” yet they would not hear.”
🔹 This prophecy states that God’s message will come in a foreign tongue.
🔹 The Arabic language was foreign to the Israelites, and yet it became the language of the final revelation—the Qur’an.
📖Quran 41:2-4
“This is a revelation from the Gracious, the Merciful – a Book whose verses have been detailed, an Arabic Qur’an for a people who know, as a giver of good news and a warner; but most of them turn away, so they do not hear.”
📖 Quran 44:58
“Indeed, We have eased [the Qur’an] in your tongue so that they might be reminded.”
📖Quran 16:103
“We certainly know that they say, ‘It is only a human being who teaches the Prophet.’ The tongue of the one they refer to is foreign, and [this Qur’an] is [in] a clear Arabic language.”
📖Quran 26:198-199
“And even if We had sent it down to one among the foreigners and he had recited it to them, they would [still] not have been believers in it.”
📖Quran 41:44
“And [so even] if We had made it a non-Arabic Qur’an, they would have said, ‘Why are its verses not explained in detail [in our language]? Is it a foreign [recitation] and an Arab [messenger]?’ Say, ‘It is a guidance and cure for those who believe.’ And those who do not believe – deafness is in their ears, and it is blindness upon them. Those are being called from a distant place.”
🔹 This directly fulfills Isaiah 28:11-12, which foretold that God’s message would come in another tongue.
The Messiah (Masih) and the Promise to David
📖2 Chronicles 6:42
“LORD God, do not reject Your anointed one (mashiach). Remember the great love promised to David Your servant.”
🔹 This verse calls upon God not to reject the Messiah (Masih) and to remember the covenant with David.
🔹 Jesus (peace be upon him) was sent as a Messiah, confirming the Torah. But he also prophesied the coming of another messenger.
📖Quran 66:1
“And (Mentioned) when Jesus, son of Mary, said, ‘Children of Israel, I am sent to you by God, confirming the Torah that came before me and bringing good news of a messenger to follow me whose name will be Ahmad (Sahih Muslim 2354b). Yet when he came to them with clear signs, they said, ‘This is obviously sorcery.”
🔹 Jesus confirmed the Torah and foretold the coming of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
🔹 The covenant with David was fulfilled through Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who came from the lineage of Ishmael.
📖Quran 5:75
“The Messiah, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger; [other] messengers had passed away before him. And his mother was a woman of truth. Both of them used to eat food. Look how We make the signs clear to them; then look how they are deluded.”
🔹 This verse clarifies that Jesus (peace be upon him) was not divine, but a human messenger of God, just like the prophets before him.
🔹 He and his mother Mary were human beings who ate food, proving that they were not gods but creations of God.
The Comforter (Spirit of Truth) and the Spirit of Command
📖John 15:26
“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father [Lord], he will testify of me.”
- Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the “Comforter” (Paraclete in Greek), as he testified about Jesus (PBUH), confirming his prophethood.
Isaiah 42 describes the coming of a servant who will bring justice and guidance to the nations, which aligns with Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It is important to remember that Jesus (PBUH) did not speak in English or even Greek as commonly assumed.
His native language was Aramaic, a Semitic language closely related to Hebrew and Arabic.
This means that the original words of Jesus (PBUH) have been translated over time, and some meanings may have changed.
-
Jesus (PBUH) Did Not Send the Comforter by His Own Power
📖John 14:16
“And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.”Jesus (PBUH) clearly states that he will “pray” (ask) the Father (God) to send the Comforter.
He is not sending the Comforter by his own power but requesting God to send him.
This is consistent with Islamic belief that all prophets, including Jesus (PBUH), had no independent power and relied entirely on God’s will,Forever” Refers to the Finality and Eternal Impact of His Message
When Jesus (PBUH) spoke about the Comforter coming and staying forever, it meant that the guidance brought by the Comforter would never be lost or replaced.
🔹 Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was the final Comforter – The last and final prophet sent to mankind, fulfilling the prophecy in John.
🔹 The Qur’an is the last revelation – Unlike previous scriptures, it remains preserved and unchanged.
🔹 His message and guidance remain forever – His teachings continue to guide humanity even today.
🔹 His name is mentioned daily forever – From the call to prayer (Adhan) to daily prayers (Salah), Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is remembered by billions worldwide.
🔹 The message he brought will endure until Judgment Day – The Qur’an and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ will be the standard by which future generations will be judged, confirming the eternal impact of his mission. -
Time in Heaven is Different from Time on Earth
2 Peter 3:8
“But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”Quran 22:47
“And indeed, a day with your Lord is like a thousand years of what you count.”🔹 Divine time is different from human time.
🔹 When Jesus (PBUH) said the Comforter would come after him, it does not necessarily mean immediately in human years—it follows God’s divine timeline.
🔹 This explains why Prophet Muhammad ﷺ came around 600 years after Jesus (PBUH), as per divine planning. -
Holy Spirit vs. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
📖John 14:26
“The Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the [Lord] will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said to you.”🔹 Some Christians claim this refers to the Holy Spirit, but:
- The Holy Spirit (Gabriel) was already present before Jesus’ departure—he was with Mary (Luke 1:35), Elizabeth (Luke 1:41), and Jesus’ baptism.
- The Comforter was to come only after Jesus’ departure (John 16:7), which fits Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
- Prophet Muhammad ﷺ brought guidance, clarified Jesus’ message, and reminded people of the true teachings of monotheism.
John 16:13
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth 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.”🔹 Prophet Muhammad ﷺ fits this prophecy because:
- He spoke only what was revealed to him (Quran 53:3-4: “He does not speak from his own desire; it is nothing but a revelation sent down”).
- He guided people into “all truth” by clarifying monotheism.
- He foretold many future events, including the rise and fall of empires and the spread of Islam.
Quran 16:103
“They say, ‘It is only a human being who teaches him.’ But the tongue of the one they refer to is foreign, while this is a clear Arabic Qur’an.”🔹 The Qur’an confirms that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ received divine guidance from Allah, which was then conveyed to him through Angel Jibreel (Gabriel, AS).
Quran 16:102
“Say, the Holy Spirit (Gabriel) has brought it down from your Lord in truth to strengthen those who believe and as guidance and good tidings for the Muslims.”
🔹 In John 16:13, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is referred to as the “Spirit of Truth” because he received divine revelation through Angel Jibreel (Gabriel, AS), making his words a direct transmission of truth from God, The Comforter and Spirit of Truth in the Bible align with Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, while the Holy Spirit refers to Angel Jibreel (AS), who was responsible for bringing revelation to all prophets, including Jesus (PBUH) and Muhammad ﷺ.
The Awaited Prophet Like Moses
📖Deuteronomy 34:10
“Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face.”
🔹 This verse was written after the death of Moses (PBUH) and emphasizes that no prophet had appeared in Israel who was like him—one who spoke to God directly and brought a complete law.
🔹 If Deuteronomy 18:18 (“I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brethren…”) had already been fulfilled by a prophet within Israel, then Deuteronomy 34:10 would not make sense, as it confirms that no such prophet had come yet.
🔹 Some Christians claim that Deuteronomy 18:18 refers to Jesus (PBUH), but this does not fit the prophecy because:
- Jesus (PBUH) did not bring a new law, but rather confirmed the Torah (Matthew 5:17).
- He did not marry or have children, whereas Moses (PBUH) did.
- He did not fight battles or establish a legal system, unlike Moses (PBUH), who led his people both spiritually and politically.
🔹 John 1:19-21 further proves that the Jews were still waiting for the fulfillment of Deuteronomy 18:18 during the time of Jesus (PBUH):
📖 “Now this was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, ‘I am not the Messiah.’ They asked him, ‘Then who are you? Are you Elijah?’ He said, ‘I am not.’ ‘Are you the Prophet?’ He answered, ‘No.’”
🔹 This shows that the Jews were expecting three different figures:
- The Messiah (Jesus, PBUH)
- Elijah (who was expected to return)
- “The Prophet”—a distinct figure, referring to the awaited prophet of Deuteronomy 18:18.
🔹 The phrase “from among their brethren” in Deuteronomy 18:18 indicates that this prophet would not be from the Israelites, but from their brethren—the Ishmaelites (Genesis 16:12, Genesis 25:18).
🔹 Prophet Muhammad ﷺ perfectly fulfills this prophecy:
- Like Moses (PBUH), he received direct revelation through Angel Jibreel (Gabriel, AS).
- Like Moses (PBUH), he brought a divine law (Shariah) that governed both religious and social life.
- Like Moses (PBUH), he was a leader, a judge, and a statesman, guiding his people both spiritually and politically.
- His words were not from himself, but as the Qur’an confirms:
📖 Qur’an 53:3-4 “Nor does he speak from his own desire. It is nothing except a revelation sent down to him.”
🔹 The fact that no prophet had risen in Israel like Moses (PBUH) even after his death proves that the prophecy in Deuteronomy 18:18 was still awaiting fulfillment—and it was fulfilled in Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the only prophet who matched Moses (PBUH) in both mission and leadership.
What does “face to face” mean?
📖Exodus 33:11
“The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend.”
-
- This phrase does not mean that Moses (PBUH) literally saw God’s face.
- Instead, it means that God spoke to him directly and clearly, unlike other prophets who received revelations through dreams, visions, or indirect messages.
-
Proof that Moses did not see God:
📖Exodus 33:20
“But He said, ‘You cannot see My face, for no one may see Me and live.’”- Here, God clearly states that no human can see Him and live.
- Moses (PBUH) was only allowed to witness a glimpse of God’s glory, not His actual form.
1 John 4:12
“No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and His love is made complete in us.”🔹 The Bible consistently affirms that no human being has ever seen God.
How does this relate to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ?
-
1️⃣ Moses (PBUH) spoke directly to Allah on earth.
📖 Qur’an 4:164 – “And to Moses, Allah spoke directly (wa kallamallāhu Mūsā taklīma).”2️⃣ Prophet Muhammad ﷺ communicated with Allah in the heavens during Isra and Mi’raj (Night Journey).
📖 Qur’an 42:51 – “It is not for any human that Allah should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a veil…”🔹 This proves that both had a unique communication with Allah, which no other prophet had in the same way.
🔹 This strengthens the argument that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the fulfillment of Deuteronomy 18:18, the prophet like Moses.
Qur’an 53:11
“The heart did not lie [about] what it saw.”Qur’an 42:51
“It is not for any human that God should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a veil…”Qur’an 6:103
No vision can grasp Him, but He grasps all vision. He is the Most Subtle, the All-Aware.”
Isaiah’s Prophecy and the Coming of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) – The End of Idol Worship
Prophecies from the Book of Isaiah align with the mission of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), particularly in his abolition of idol worship and the establishment of monotheism in Arabia. The following biblical passages describe the downfall of idolatry and the rise of a servant of God from Arabia, which aligns with Qur’anic verses and historical events
Isaiah 21:13
A prophecy against Arabia: You caravans of Dedanites, who camp in the thickets of Arabia,
Isaiah 21:13 and Isaiah 42 are connected in their reference to Arabia, This passage refers to the people of Arabia, specifically mentioning the Dedanites, an Arabian tribe known for their trade routes. The entire chapter of Isaiah 21 speaks about judgment upon different nations, including Babylon (modern-day Iraq), Edom (southern Jordan), and Arabia.
1. Isaiah 42 – The Servant from Arabia
Isaiah 42:1-9 states:
“Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him (Quran 42:52), and he will bring justice to the nations… He will not falter or be discouraged, till he establishes justice on earth. In his teaching, the islands will put their hope.”
This servant is described as someone who will bring justice and establish divine law on earth. He is further linked to Kedar, the second son of Ishmael (Genesis 25:13), which ties him to Arabia.
Isaiah 42:10-11 further emphasizes:
“Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth… Let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice; let the people of Sela sing for joy.”
- Kedar refers to the descendants of Ishmael, who settled in Arabia.
- Sela is a well-known mountain in Medina, where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) migrated.
This prophecy describes a new song of praise rising from Arabia, which was fulfilled when Islam spread and monotheism replaced idol worship.
Qur’anic Connection,
The Qur’an confirms that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was chosen to bring justice and guidance:
📖Qur’an 7:157
“Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel… he enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong.”
-
Isaiah 42:17 – The End of Idolatry
“But those who trust in idols, who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back in utter shame.”
Before Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Arabia was filled with idol worship. The Kaaba housed 360 idols, and people would prostrate before them, offer sacrifices, and call upon them for help
2. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Cleansing the Kaaba
In 630 CE, after peacefully entering Mecca, Prophet Muhammad destroyed all the idols inside the Kaaba. This event is documented in:
Sahih al-Bukhari 2478
The Prophet (PBUH) entered Mecca and, pointing at the idols with a stick, recited: ‘Truth has come, and falsehood has perished.’ And then the idols fell down one by one.”Qur’an 17:81
And say: ‘Truth has come, and falsehood has vanished. Surely, falsehood is ever bound to vanish!’”This humiliated the idol worshipers, who had mocked Islam for years, proving that their gods had no power.
3. Isaiah 60 – The Kaaba as “The House of God”
Isaiah 60:1-7 describes a holy place of worship being glorified:
“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you… Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. Lift up your eyes and look around; they all gather together, they come to you.” “A multitude of camels shall cover you, the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all those from Sheba shall come. They shall bring gold and frankincense and shall proclaim the praise of the Lord. All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; they shall be acceptable on my altar, and I will glorify my glorious house.”
Interpretation and Fulfillment in Islam
- “Nations shall come to your light” – Every year, millions of Muslims from different nations travel to Mecca for Hajj and Umrah, worshiping one God.
- “A multitude of camels… Sheba shall come” – Pilgrims from Arabia and Africa historically traveled to Mecca on camels, bringing gifts.
- “The flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you” – The descendants of Kedar (Arabs) revere the Kaaba and maintain it as the center of worship.
- “I will glorify my glorious house” – The Kaaba was purified of idols and restored as a house for monotheistic worship.
Qur’anic Confirmation
Qur’an 3:96
“Indeed, the first House [of worship] established for mankind was that at Bakkah (Mecca) – blessed and a guidance for the worlds.”Qur’an 22:26
“And [mention, O Muhammad], when We designated for Abraham the site of the House, [saying], ‘Do not associate anything with Me and purify My House for those who perform Tawaf and those who bow and prostrate in prayer.’”This aligns with Isaiah’s prophecy, which describes a holy place being purified and honored.
Isaiah 60:2-3 – Light After Darkness
📖Isaiah 60:2-3
“For behold, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness is over the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you, and His glory will appear over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.”
Interpretation and Fulfillment
Isaiah 60 foretells a great light appearing after a period of spiritual darkness:
- “For behold, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness is over the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you, and His glory will appear over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.” (Isaiah 60:2-3)
🔹 This “light” refers to the divine guidance of Islam and the prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH). 🔹 Before Islam, Arabia was in Jahiliyyah (ignorance), filled with idol worship, injustice, and tribal wars. 🔹 Qur’an 24:35: “Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth…” 🔹 Qur’an 5:15: “There has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book.”
After Islam’s rise, kings and nations embraced its light:
- Negus of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) accepted Islam
- Arab tribes and Persian and Roman leaders embraced the faith
- The Kaaba in Mecca became the spiritual center of monotheism
The Gathering at the Kaaba (Isaiah 60:4-7 & Ezekiel 27:21)
Isaiah 60 also predicts a time when people will gather in a blessed land, bringing offerings:
- “Lift up your eyes and look around: They all gather and come to you; your sons will come from afar…” (Isaiah 60:4)
- “A multitude of camels shall cover you, the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all those from Sheba shall come. They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praise of the Lord.” (Isaiah 60:6)
- “All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you.” (Isaiah 60:7)
- “Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your customers; they did business with you in lambs, rams, and goats.” (Ezekiel 27:21)
🔹 Kedar’s flocks refer to the descendants of Ishmael, specifically the Arabs. 🔹 Gold and frankincense symbolize the wealth brought to Mecca by pilgrims. 🔹 The annual Hajj pilgrimage fulfills this prophecy, as millions travel to Mecca to worship.
📖Qur’an 22:27: “And proclaim to the people the Hajj (pilgrimage); they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass.”
📖Qur’an 106:1-2
“For the accustomed security of the Quraysh – their security in the caravan of winter and summer.”- Arabia’s Transition from Trade to Faith – Before Islam, Arabs were mainly focused on trade. After Islam, they became the bearers of divine guidance, spreading monotheism across the world.
📖Qur’an 9:33
“It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it prevail over all religion, even if the disbelievers hate it.”
Thus, Isaiah’s vision of a great gathering aligns with the pilgrimage to Mecca, the sacred House of God built by Abraham and Ishmael.

Prophet Muhammad in Song of Solomon

🔹 Key Word: “Maḥmadîm” (מַחֲמַדִּים)
📌 So, when translated accurately, it can read: |
- Song of Solomon 1:5
Dark am I, yet lovely, daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon. - Song of Songs 5:16
His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely (Muhamadim). This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.
Christian & Jewish Arguments – Debunked!
❌ “It’s not a name! It just means ‘desirable’!”
✅ Then why do Christians claim the word “Emmanuel” (Isaiah 7:14) is a name for Jesus, even though it means “God with us” and was never his real name? Double standards!
❌ “It’s a love poem about Solomon, not prophecy!”
✅ Then why do Christians interpret poetic verses as prophecies of Jesus, like Psalm 22:16 (“They pierced my hands and feet”), when it originally referred to David’s suffering?
❌ “The word ‘Maḥmad’ appears in other places, so it can’t mean Muhammad!”
✅ The name **”David” appears in multiple places too, does that mean King David wasn’t real? This is a weak excuse.
Isaiah 65:1-2 – A Nation Rejected, A New Nation Chosen
📖 Isaiah 65:1-2 – “I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me. To a nation that did not call on my name, I said, ‘Here am I, here am I.’ But concerning Israel, He says: ‘All day long I have held out my hands to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations.’”
🔥 Interpretation:
- “A nation that did not seek Me” – This refers to the Arabs before Islam, who did not have divine revelation like the Jews and Christians.
- “Obstinate people who follow their own imaginations” – This applies to both Jews and Christians, who rejected God’s laws and introduced innovations, such as the Trinity and worshiping Jesus.
📖Qur’an 2:143 – “Thus We have made you a just nation that you may be witnesses over mankind.”
📖Qur’an 3:110 – “You are the best nation produced for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah.”
1️⃣Does This Fit Christianity? 🤔
✅ Christians believe Gentiles (non-Jews) accepted Jesus, and the new covenant replaced the old one.
❌ But the New Testament distorts Jesus’ message by introducing Trinity, Paul’s teachings, and abolishing the Torah. Galatians 2:15-21, Romans 6:14
❌ Christians already had Jewish scriptures and were familiar with God’s message—unlike the nation in Isaiah 65:1, which “did not ask for God.”
💡 Flaw: The verse says “a nation that did not call on My name,” yet Christianity emerged from Judaism, meaning Christians already knew God. This makes their claim weak.
Promise to Abraham in the Bible
📖 Genesis 17:4-7 –
“As for Me, this is My covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations. I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.”
📖 Genesis 22:17-18 –
“I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies. And through your descendants, all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me“
- 🔹 Here, God’s promise extends beyond Israel to all the nations descended from Abraham, including Ishmael’s lineage, which led to the Arab tribes and
📖Qur’an 2:124 –
*”And [mention] when Abraham was tried by his Lord with commands and he fulfilled them. [Allah] said, ‘Indeed, I will make you a leader for the people.’ Abraham said, ‘And of my descendants?’ [Allah] said, *‘My covenant does not include the wrongdoers.’”
- 🔹 Like in Genesis 17:4-7, Abraham’s descendants receive divine blessings, but only the righteous among them will be true heirs of the covenant.
📖Qur’an 21:72-73
“And We gave him Isaac and Jacob as a gift, and We made them righteous. And We made them leaders guiding by Our command. And We inspired them to do good deeds, establish prayer, and give zakah; and they were worshippers of Us.”
📖Qur’an 5:44
“Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets who submitted [to Allah] judged by it for the Jews, as did the rabbis and scholars by that with which they were entrusted of the Scripture of Allah, and they were witnesses thereto. So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a small price. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed—then it is those who are the disbelievers.”
🔹 This verse confirms that the original Torah was a divine revelation, and its true followers were expected to judge by it. However, later generations altered it for personal gain.
Now, the Qur’an warns about the past corruption of scriptures and instructs Muslims to remain truthful to its message:
📖 Qur’an 3:78
“And indeed, there is among them a group who distort the Scripture with their tongues so that you may think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scripture. And they say, ‘This is from Allah,’ but it is not from Allah. And they speak untruth about Allah while they know.”
🔹 This verse shows that some Jews verbally misrepresented the Torah to deceive others.
📖Qur’an 4:46
“Among the Jews are those who distort words from their proper places and say, ‘We hear and disobey,’ and ‘Hear but be not heard,’ and ‘Ra‘ina,’ twisting their tongues and defaming the religion. Had they said, ‘We hear and obey’ and ‘Look at us, and listen,’ it would have been better for them and more upright. But Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so they do not believe except for a few.”
🔹 This shows that some Jews deliberately changed the meanings of words in the Torah to mislead people.
📖Qur’an 2:79
“So woe to those who write the Scripture with their own hands, then say, ‘This is from Allah,’ to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they earn.”
🔹 Here, Allah directly condemns those who physically altered the Torah and falsely claimed it was divine.
-
💡 Corruption of the Gospel as well:
Qur’an 5:14
And from those who say, ‘We are Christians,’ We took their covenant, but they forgot a portion of that of which they were reminded. So We caused enmity and hatred among them until the Day of Resurrection. And Allah will inform them about what they used to do.” 🔹 This verse shows that Christians also strayed from their original teachings.Qur’an 5:77
Say, ‘O People of the Book, do not exceed limits in your religion beyond the truth, and do not follow the inclinations of a people who went astray before and misled many and strayed from the right way.'” 🔹 This is a general warning to both Jews and Christians about religious misguidance.💡 Warning for Muslims
Just as past nations altered their scriptures, Muslims are warned not to do the same with the Qur’an. The final part of Qur’an 5:44 states: “So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a small price. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has reveale —then it is those who are the disbelievers.” While past scriptures were changed, the Qur’an is divinely protected from alteration. However, misinterpretation and distortion of its meaning are still possible, which is why Muslims must adhere strictly to its true message.Qur’an 15:9
“Indeed, it is We who sent down the Reminder, and indeed, We will be its guardian.”
🔹 Unlike past scriptures, Allah has promised to protect the Qur’an from any change, ensuring its guidance remains preserved until the Day of Judgment.
Qur’an 58:22
“For such (believers), He has inscribed faith in their hearts and strengthened them with a Spirit from Him.

Bible itself tells u that it has been corrupted
Proverbs 30:5-6
Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.2 Chronicles 9:29
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?1 Kings 11:41
And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
Book of Enoch
-
The Book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish religious text attributed to Prophet Enoch (Idris, عليه السلام), but it is not part of the Bible for most Jewish and Christian groups. It was considered scripture by some early Christians but was later rejected from the biblical canon.
Enoch 98:15
Woe to you who write lying words, and the words of the impious, for they write their lies so that men may hear and continue their folly. And they will not have peace but will die a sudden death.Enoch 99:2
Woe to you who alter the words of truth, and they distort the eternal law and count themselves as being without sin; they will be trampled underfoot on the ground.
Quranic Remainder
Quran 2:40
O children of Israel!1 Remember My favours upon you. Fulfil your covenant and I will fulfil Mine, and stand in awe of Me ˹alone˺.
- It is important to note that the term “Children of Israel” (بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ) in the Qur’an does not only refer to today’s Jewish people. Historically, the Children of Israel were the descendants of Prophet Jacob (Ya’qub, عليه السلام) and included various tribes.
- After Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) – Many among the Children of Israel reverted to Islam, as they were originally born upon the natural faith (Fitrah) of Islam.
- Some remained in Christianity – Others may have followed Christianity over time.
- Some remained in Judaism – The Jewish communities today are part of this lineage, but not the only representation of the Children of Israel, Thus, when the Qur’an addresses the Children of Israel, it refers to this broader historical lineage, not just a single religious group today.
Quran 2:41
Believe in My revelations which confirm your Scriptures. ( Torah & Gospel ) Do not be the first to deny them or trade them for a fleeting gain. And be mindful of Me.
Quran 2:42
Do not mix truth with falsehood or hide the truth knowingly.
Quran 2:47
O Children of Israel! Remember ˹all˺ the favours I granted you and how I honoured you above the others. ( Meaning, I chose you above all peoples of your time.)
Quran 2:48
Guard yourselves against the Day on which no soul will be of help to another. No intercession (Intercession” is the act of pleading with Allah on behalf of another person on the Day of Judgment.) will be accepted, no ransom taken, and no help will be given.
Quran 2:49
˹Remember˺ how We delivered you from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with dreadful torment, slaughtering your sons and keeping your women. That was a severe test from your Lord.
Quran 2:50
And ˹remember˺ when We parted the sea, rescued you, and drowned Pharaoh’s people before your very eyes.
Quran 2:51-52
And ˹remember˺ when We appointed forty nights for Moses, then you worshipped the calf in his absence, acting wrongfully, Even then We ˹still˺ forgave you so perhaps you would be grateful.
Quran 2:53-56
And ˹remember˺ when We gave Moses the Scripture—the standard ˹to distinguish between right and wrong˺ that perhaps you would be ˹rightly˺ guided, And ˹remember˺ when Moses said to his people, “O my people! Surely you have wronged yourselves by worshipping the calf, so turn in repentance to your Creator and execute ˹the calf-worshippers among˺ yourselves. That is best for you in the sight of your Creator.” Then He accepted your repentance. Surely He is the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful. And ˹remember˺ when you said, “O Moses! We will never believe you until we see Allah with our own eyes,” so a thunderbolt struck you while you were looking on, Then We brought you back to life after your death, so that perhaps you would be grateful.
Quran 2:57-61
And ˹remember when˺ We shaded you with clouds and sent down to you manna and quails,(Manna (heavenly bread) and quails (chicken-like birds) sustained the children of Israel in the wilderness after they left Egypt.) ˹saying˺, “Eat from the good things We have provided for you.” The evildoers ˹certainly˺ did not wrong Us, but wronged themselves, And ˹remember˺ when We said, “Enter this city and eat freely from wherever you please; enter the gate with humility, saying, ‘Absolve us.’ We will forgive your sins and multiply the reward for the good-doers. But the wrongdoers changed the words they were commanded to say. So We sent down a punishment from the heavens upon them for their rebelliousness. And ˹remember˺ when Moses prayed for water for his people, We said, “Strike the rock with your staff.” Then twelve springs gushed out, ˹and˺ each tribe knew its drinking place. ˹We then said,˺ “Eat and drink of Allah’s provisions, and do not go about spreading corruption in the land, And ˹remember˺ when you said, “O Moses! We cannot endure the same meal ˹every day˺. So ˹just˺ call upon your Lord on our behalf, He will bring forth for us some of what the earth produces of herbs, cucumbers, garlic, lentils, and onions.” Moses scolded ˹them˺, “Do you exchange what is better for what is worse? ˹You can˺ go down to any village and you will find what you have asked for.” They were stricken with disgrace and misery, and they invited the displeasure of Allah for rejecting Allah’s signs and unjustly killing the prophets. This is ˹a fair reward˺ for their disobedience and violations.
Quran 2:63-66
And ˹remember˺ when We took a covenant from you and raised the mountain above you ˹saying˺, “Hold firmly to that ˹Scripture˺ which We have given you and observe its teachings so perhaps you will become mindful ˹of Allah, Yet you turned away afterwards. Had it not been for Allah’s grace and mercy upon you, you would have certainly been of the losers. You are already aware of those of you who broke the Sabbath. We said to them, “Be disgraced apes!So We made their fate an example to present and future generations, and a lesson to the God-fearing.
Quran 2:67-74
And ˹remember˺ when Moses said to his people, “Allah commands you to sacrifice a cow. They replied, “Are you mocking us?” Moses responded, “I seek refuge in Allah from acting foolishly, They said, “Call upon your Lord to clarify for us what type ˹of cow˺ it should be!” He replied, “Allah says, ‘The cow should neither be old nor young but in between. So do as you are commanded!, They said, “Call upon your Lord to specify for us its colour.” He replied, “Allah says, ‘It should be a bright yellow cow—pleasant to see, Again they said, “Call upon your Lord so that He may make clear to us which cow, for all cows look the same to us. Then, Allah willing, we will be guided ˹to the right one, He replied, “Allah says, ‘It should have been used neither to till the soil nor water the fields; wholesome and without blemish.’” They said, “Now you have come with the truth.” Yet they still slaughtered it hesitantly! ˹This is˺ when a man was killed and you disputed who the killer was, but Allah revealed what you concealed. So We instructed, “Strike the dead body with a piece of the cow.” This is how ˹easily˺ Allah brings the dead to life, showing you His signs so that you may understand. Even then your hearts became hardened like a rock or even harder, for some rocks gush rivers; others split, spilling water; while others are humbled in awe of Allah. And Allah is never unaware of what you do.
Quran 2:75-77
Do you ˹believers still˺ expect them to be true to you, though a group of them would hear the word of Allah then knowingly corrupt it after understanding it? When they meet the believers they say, “We believe.” But in private they say ˹to each other˺, “Will you disclose to the believers the knowledge Allah has revealed to you,(i.e., verses prophesizing the coming of the Prophet (ﷺ) in the Torah (including Deuteronomy 18:15-18 and 33:2). so that they may use it against you before your Lord? Do you not understand?” Do they not know that Allah is aware of what they conceal and what they reveal?
Quran 2:78-79
And among them are the illiterate who know nothing about the Scripture except lies, and ˹so˺ they ˹wishfully˺ speculate. So woe ( i.e., warning of a curse or punishment.) to those who distort the Scripture with their own hands then say, “This is from Allah”—seeking a fleeting gain! So woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they have earned.
Quran 2:80-82
˹Some of˺ the Jews claim, “The Fire will not touch us except for a number of days. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Have you taken a pledge from Allah—for Allah never breaks His word—or are you ˹just˺ saying about Allah what you do not know?” But no! Those who commit evil and are engrossed in sin will be the residents of the Fire. They will be there forever. And those who believe and do good will be the residents of Paradise. They will be there forever.
Quran 2:83-86
And ˹remember˺ when We took a covenant from the children of Israel ˹stating˺, “Worship none but Allah; be kind to parents, relatives, orphans and the needy; speak kindly to people; establish prayer; and pay alms- tax. But you ˹Israelites˺ turned away—except for a few of you—and were indifferent. And ˹remember˺ when We took your covenant that you would neither shed each other’s blood nor expel each other from their homes, you gave your pledge and bore witness. But here you are, killing each other and expelling some of your people from their homes, aiding one another in sin and aggression; and when those ˹expelled˺ come to you as captives, you still ransom them—though expelling them was unlawful for you.(The indigenous people of Medina were divided into two warring groups: Al-Aws and Al-Khazraj. Some Jewish tribes were allied with the former and others with the latter, which meant that in times of war each of these Jewish tribes had to fight along with their allies against their enemies, including other Jews. When the Prophet (ﷺ) migrated to Medina, he brought about a lasting peace in the city.) Do you believe in some of the Scripture and reject the rest? Is there any reward for those who do so among you other than disgrace in this worldly life and being subjected to the harshest punishment on the Day of Judgment? For Allah is never unaware of what you do, These are the ones who trade the Hereafter for the life of this world. So their punishment will not be reduced, nor will they be helped.
Quran 2:87
Indeed, We gave Moses the Book and sent after him successive messengers. And We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the holy spirit Gabriel Why is it that every time a messenger comes to you ˹Israelites˺ with something you do not like, you become arrogant, rejecting some and killing others?
Quran 3:48 – 49
And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel, and [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], ‘Indeed I have come with a sign to you from your Lord in that I create [a figure] from clay for you like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of God. And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead – by permission of God. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed there is a sign in that for you, if you are believers.
Quran 5:19
O People of the Scripture, Our messenger has come to you to make [the religion] clear to you after a period [of suspension] of messengers, unless you should say, “No bringer of good news or warner came to us.” But a bringer of good news and a warner has come to you. And God is Powerful over all things.
Quran 33:45 – 46
O prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness and a bringer of good news and a warner. And a Caller [Comforter] to God, by His permission, and an illuminating lamp.
Quran 3:98 – 99
[So] say, “O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of God while God is Witness over what you do?” [And] say, “O People of the Scripture, why do you avert those who believe from the way of God, seeking to make it [seem] deviant, while you are witnesses [to the truth]? And God is not unaware of what you do.
Quran 5:15
O people of the Book, there has come to you Our Messenger disclosing to you much of what you have been concealing of the Book, while He overlooks much. There has come to you, from Allah, a Light and a clear Book;
Quran 3:21
Surely, those who reject the verses of Allah and slay the prophets unjustly, and slay those of the people who bid justice, give them ‘the good news’ of a painful punishment.
Quran 3:85
And whoever desires other than IsLam as religion – never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
