The character of Prophet Muhammad in Torah and Bible

in the name of God

Hello

The Merciful, the compassionate.

We are going to speak about Zionism and the historical formation of the Zionist regime. We are going to study the character of Prophet Muhammad in Torah and the Bible. We are going to see if it is an illusion or even a wild-goose chase to find Prophet Muhammad in the Torah and the Bible or they have heralded Coming of the prophet.

At first you should know we are monotheist like the Jews and Christians but a there is a difference in our believe. We believe that God has no body, He is not a physical person like other creation. He is everywhere but not in them and we can’t see him. If there is 2 person, God is the third one, and if there is 4 person, God is the 5^th.but Jews say Prophet Israel wrestled with God! It is not true. And they say God regretted the creation of humans, because they became clever! It is false too. God is the best clever and futuristic person in the world and He never become regret. He know what will happen in future very clearly, and no one can’t overbear him. And Christians say Prophet Jesus is the son of God, however sometimes they say we call him like this but we are monotheist, but it is a big fault, Muslims say God has not given birth, and has not been born, and there is none equal to him. And they believe that God mighty to do anything. He is the King and anything in the word is for him.

and the other point is that, Muslims Know and believe most Prophets in bible, like Prophet Adam,  prophet Noah,  prophet Abraham,  prophet Isaac,  prophet Ismael,  prophet Jacob,  prophet Joseph,  prophet Moses,  prophet Jesus, prophet Zechariah, prophet Isaiah, prophet Habakkuk, and others. The number of Prophets that Muslims believe are 124000 prophets. Even they make some movie for them.

The character of Prophet Muhammad is in Torah and Bible

first reason

 Abram or Abraham

1-1. God blessed Prophet Abraham

First, I started with the Torah and tried to understand if the Prophet has been mentioned or not. I have found some sections in the Torah and I will explain today as much as I can. The first point is in the covenant of God with Abraham and his offspring.

Just pay attention to this point at first: Muslim’s Prophet Muhammad is the grandson of Ismael and Abraham. (So prophet Ismael is the great grandfather of Prophet Muhammad.)

There is an interesting point in the book of Genesis, the first book of the Torah, chapter 12,the second and the third verses: God promises Abraham: “And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless you and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth shall bless them.”  

Here, it is pointed that God establishes a covenant with Abraham and He will make him a great nation. We knew that Judaism, Christianity and Islam are the Abrahamic religions and are based on Abraham’s beliefs. All these three religions accept Prophet Abraham as a great Prophet. We see that the Christians name their sons Abraham or the Muslims choose this name for their children. The Quran has mentioned him as a great Prophet, and God has introduced him as a role model and said: choose Abraham as your role model. God has pointed to two people to be chosen as a role model, Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Abraham.

Unfortunately, despite the great personality of Abraham, the rabbis have distorted his character in the Torah. For example they have narrated that Prophet Abraham had married his stepsister. They said that Sar’ai was his stepsister and there are also some verses which stated that you are not allowed to marry your stepsister. So very subtlety, they have accused Abraham of incest (I seek refuge in God). On the other hand, there is another verse in the Torah which says that if somebody commits incest, four generations after him will not be counted as human by God. We know the generations of Prophet Abraham. I will explain about the children of Israel; the first is Abraham, the second is Isaac, the third is Jacob, the forth is Joseph. As you see they have defamed these Prophets and it is because of this falsification. But you can never find such things in the Quran and Prophet Abraham, prophet Isaac, Prophet Jacob and Prophet Joseph are all respected in Quran.

 

There is a hadith (locution) from one of the Imams (captain) of the Shiites (Imam Muhammad bagher); he stated that Prophet Joseph is benevolent, son of benevolent, son of benevolent, son of benevolent. In Arabic, benevolent is a person who has all the good moral features. In fact, it is said in response of the falsification of the Torah about these four generation. And it shows that they were purified and holy and these accusation are not right about them.

You see that in the book of Genesis, chapter 12, verse 3, that Abraham has been promised to have a great nation. In the second part, it is said that when Ishmael was born, Abraham was eighty-six years old. It is an interesting point; Prophet Abraham was an eighty-six year old man when his wife, Hagar gave birth to Ishmael. He is the first child.

When he (Ishmael) was thirteen, Isaac was born. He is the first child. When he (Ishmael) was thirteen, Isaac was born. The entire thing I say, is narrated in the Torah and the Bible. So there is no doubt in it that Ismael was born at that time and he was thirteen while Isaac was not born yet; Isaac was born when Abraham was one-hundred years old. So if Ismael was born and he was thirteen, it means that Abraham was ninety nine. It is exactly right.

 

1-2. Ismael and Isaac

The book of Genesis, chapter 17, verse 1-10; I will read it for you. And when Abraham was ninety-nine, “the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, “I am your shield”. “

There is an interesting point, that it is said “Abram”, not “Abraham”. There is no “H” for Abraham and even, the name of Sar’ai  does not have “H”. So what has happened? It seem that Prophet Abraham had managed to pass a difficult exam and God decided to make him a great nation and so gave him an “H”. According to the Jewish numerology, they believe that the most important letter in the Jewish language is “H”. It is the same as the fifth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet: Alef, Bet, Gimel, Dalet, He, etc. They know this letter as a divine letter. After that exam, Abram changes to Abraham and Sar’ai changes to Sarah. An “H” is added to their names. I emphasize that here, Abram has no “H”. You might think what will this letter do, this is not the issue, but the Jews believe it. “I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” (17:2).

It is mentioned here that Isaac has not been born yet and when Ismael is thirteen, God has promised Abraham to make him a great generation. Here, you might think that this promise would be realized by Ismael, because Isaac is not born yet and it seems that something will happen. “Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shell be the father of a multitude of nations.” (17:4).

 

This is a promise to Abraham. The Quran confirmed Abraham as the father of the nations and says: “the cult of your father Abraham.”(22:78).

”No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham.”(17:5).

As you see, it has notified that his name would be “Abraham” not “Abram”. It shows that something has happened that added this “H” to his name.

“For I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.” (17:5).

So this is why the letter “H” has been added to his name. In fact Abraham has done a special act that causes him to receive the “H” and his reward is to have a great generation. “I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come forth from you.”(17:6).

”And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.”(17:7).

 

“And I will give to you, and to your descendants after you, the land of your Sojourns, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”(17:8).

 

It is said that God will give this land (Canaan) to you and your children. This is an eternal land for you. This is one of the favorite verses of the Jews, especially the religious orientated ones and the Orthodox ones. This is their reason for going to Palestine. They pretend that there is their eternal Land and that they should inherit it after their fathers. The point is that they do not accept Ismael as the son of Abraham and they do not believe he and his children could inherit the Land. They say that only Isaac could inherit the Land. But why? They have the same father, so that is because of their mothers; the mother of Ismael was Hagar and the mother of Isaac was Sarah. To make Isaac important, the Jews focused on their mothers and claimed that since Sarah had a special characteristic, so her son was his real son. And we should not consider Ismael as his real son. But why? This is of course an interesting point; because Hagar was a servant. But you know that among the twelve sons of Prophet Jacob who made the Children of Israel, four of them were the sons of bondwomen. Such as Dan and Asher, whose mothers were servants … so according to this racist absurd thought, which is far from having a human rights perspective, we should eliminate a third of the Children of Israel from humanity. So God said to Abraham: ”As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generation.” (17:9)

As we said in the previous sessions, the sign of this covenant was that Abraham and his child circumcise. And we said that the Jews and Muslims do that, But the Christians broke the covenant and they do not circumcise because of the falsehoods that St Paul created in their religion. This story will be more interesting. From the sixteenth verse to the end. I need up to the tenth verse, you can read yourself the others which have talked about the issue of circumcise. God said to Abraham: “As for Sar’ai your wife, you shall not call her name Sar’ai, but Sarah shall be her name. I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her.” (17:15, 16).

 

It means that here, the name of Prophet is Abraham, but Isaac is not born yet. But Abraham has got the “H” because he accepted to sacrifice his son for God.

 

The Jews believe that Isaac had been sacrificed not Ismael. In fact, it is a falsification in the Testaments. Because we have seen that before Isaac was born, when Ismael was thirteen, Abraham has got “H”. So Ismael was the one who had been sacrificed. And it is really obvious. “I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall come from her”(17:16). “Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said to himself, shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?” (17:17)

God said him in the next year when you are 100 years; it means that he was ninety nine years at that time. He was surprised. The third point that I want to discuss is that in the Book of Genesis, God will bless Isaac after he is born. We accept it, but we know that He has kept the covenant with Ismael.  It is interesting that we have exactly this issue in the Quran. When Prophet Abraham wanted to sacrifice Ismael, God sent him a sheep and told him to sacrifice it; He stated that He wanted to test you to see if you are ready to sacrifice your belongings for God. It is pointed to Prophet Abraham: “and remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands, which he fulfilled: He said: “I will make thee an Imam to the Nations.” He pleaded: “and also (Imams) from my offspring! My covenant does not include the unjust, said He”(2:124).

 

It means that Abraham had requested something for his offspring. It has been mentioned in the Quran. It is said in the verse 125: “ and We covenanted with Abraham and Isma’il”.

“And when We made the House a pilgrimage for men and a (place of) security, and: Appoint for yourselves a place of prayer on the standing-place of Ibrahim. And We enjoined Ibrahim and Ismail saying: Purify My House for those who visit (it) and those who abide (in it) for devotion and those who bow down (and) those who prostrate themselves.” [2:125]

It means that He has continued His covenant with Ismael. And now, it is true. If you look, there are fifteen million Jews in the world while there are one billion and half million Muslims. So you can distinguish the reality. Has God kept His promise with Ismael or Isaac? It has happened today. We should accept and believe it.

Abraham accept to sacrifice his son for God ,you know that Ismael was the singleton son of Abraham at that time, so Abraham love him so much and he accepted to sacrifice his lovely son for God and God make him the father (or Imam) of great nations. Well it seems a wise and meet reward! It’s not? In chapter twenty-one (12:1) of the Book of Genesis God has talked to Abraham about His covenant with Ismael again, but He said that He bless Isaac. God had established His covenant with Isaac and Ismael, but the Jews broke the covenant so it given from Isaac’s offspring and started by Ismael’s offspring. We had said the verses from the Book of Jeremiah and other Testaments.

We are going to find out if it is really presented in the Torah and the Bible or it is just a claim by Muslims. In the last session we talked about the birth of Ismael. We found out that when he was thirteen, God gave him a test and after that test, Prophet Abraham was chosen. And as the Torah has said, a letter “H” was added to his name at that time. And the other son, Isaac was born when one hundred years old. Now we are going to talk about the fourth reason. According to the Hebrew beliefs and customs, the issue of primogeniture is too important and basic. In a racist perspective, the Jews believe that Ismael could not be considered as the real child of Abraham, because his mother, Hagar, was a servant. This attitude became so strong that today being a Jew is handed down through their maternal lineage; it means that you could be considered as a Jew if your mother is a Jew.

1-3. Ismael and Isaac

All we said was about this issue that who the real son of Abraham is and with whom the Divine covenant has been established with. Ismael and Isaac have the same father, but they do not have the same mothers. That’s why they emphasize on their fathers. So the Jews have accepted this wrong tradition and from then, they consider the maternal lineage. But we have found some verses in the Torah which imply that it is not important to be the son of the favorable or unfavorable wife, being the first-born child is important. I will give you some examples; Chapter twenty one, verses 15 to 17: If a man has two wives, one favorable and the other unfavorable, and both of them gives birth to a son, (the same as Saraih and Hagar who gave birth to Isaac and Ismael), then at the time when he divides his properties as heritage between his sons, he cannot consider the son of the favorable wife as the elder just because his mother is more favorable. Even if the son of the favorable wife is younger, he should not consider him as the elder one; because the son of the unfavorable son is the elder indeed. So he should give twice of his properties to the son of the unfavorable wife, because he is elder. So we conclude that even if we accept the issue of favorable and unfavorable wife, Ismael has more rights, because he is the elder son. It has been written in the Torah so anybody who believes in this Book, should accept all the parts not only one part. I am talking with the Jews and the Christians who believe in the Torah. Because as we know, Prophet Jesus Christ has said that he believed in the Torah and all the Christians should follow him. Let’s read Chapter sixteen. It is a little long but interesting. It is talking about the past. “Now sar’ai, Abram’s wife, bare him no children. She had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar; and Sar’ai said to Abram, “Behold now, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children; go in to my maid; it may be that I shall obtain Children by her.” And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sar’ai.”

if you look carefully, you will see that there is no “H” here for Abraham and Sar’aih. “so after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, Sar’ai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife.”

“and he went in to Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress. And sar’ai said to Abram, “May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my maid to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. May the LORD judge between you and me!”

 Sar’aih became sad and jealous and asked Abraham about it. But Abram said to Sar’ai, “behold, your maid is in your power; do to her as you please. “Then sar’ai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her. The angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur.”

Send her to a desert in which there was Shur spring. “and he said, “Hagar, maid of Sar’ai, where have you come from and where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from my mistress Sar’ai.” “The angel of the LORD said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit to her.”

This is what the Torah said. It said that she should return to her mistress and she should return to her mistress and she is her maid. Pay attention to this verse: “The angle of the Lord also said to her, “I will so greatly multiply your descendants.”

Look, it is said to Hagar, but Isaac is the son of Sar’aih. “I will so greatly multiply your descendants. (or seed)”look, it is said to Hagar, but Isaac is the son of Sar’aih that they cannot be numbered for multitude. 

Hagar is an Arabic word, it means who was hegira. You know that Hagar was a servant who the king of Egypt give her to Abraham for apology. So Hagar was Egyptian, so she should has an Egyptian name, not Hagar! I want to say maybe Hagar gave “H” too, like Saint Sar’aih and Prophet Abraham

It’s interesting that Prophet Abraham was not Hebrew too. He was from Babel or Babylon, (Iraq) and his city’s name was Oor

“And the Angle of the LORD said to her, “Behold, you are with child, and shall bear a son; you shall call his name Is’mael; because the LORD has given heed to your affliction.”

In Hebrew language “Eal” means God. Isamel consists of two sections; “Isma” which has the Aramaic root, means “hearing”, and “Eal” means God. “Ismael” means that God has heard his voice. This is what this verse mentioned. “You shall call his name Ismael; because the LORD has given heed to your affliction”. As we see in this verse, God has promised Hagar to give him a child; she has to call him Ismael. God said to her: “I will so greatly multiply your descendants that they cannot be numbered for multitude.” So who did God promise to? To Ismael and his children. You can see it has been realized now.

The story of Ismael in Islam and Quran:

the word Ismael repeat 12 times in Quran

Sar’ai had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar; and Sar’ai said to Abram, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children; go in to my maid; it may be that I shall obtain Children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sar’ai. Then Hagar give born to Ismael, he was born when Abraham was 86 years old. After some times sar’ai became sad because she couldn’t give born a child, and God said to his Prophet Abram, took Hagar and Ismael to a far place to Mecca. And leave them there. Abram did it, and leave them in the desert. When he want to leave them, Hagar call to Abram where are you going? Do you want to leave us here? And Abraham said to her It’s the order of God, Hagar becomes submit, Ismael was a suckling baby, sometimes later he became thirsty his mother run to find water. she run 7 course and then get tired. she decided to came back near the baby, But when she came back to his sun, she surprised, she saw that a fountain is current near the baby.

Slowly the birds came to drink water, one tribe saw the birds and found there is water in that place, the tribe colonized there, and Hagar grow up his son in that tribe. Some years later, Abraham Received an order to sacrifice his son (Ismael). Abraham went to meet his son and wife, and then said it to Ismael I have received an order of God to sacrifice you, and Ismael said to his father do the order, and you will found me of the Patient’s people if the God want.

Then Abraham decided to sacrifice his son and took him to a far place of tribe, Satan come out to Abraham and said to him: do you want to sacrifice your son? And Abraham rock out to him, and one of the Satan’s eye became blind. Ismael said to his father: please bound my hands and feet, maybe I paddle and you became loose, and Abraham did it and Brought his son back-to-back because he didn’t want to see his eyes. He took the knife to slay his son, but the knife didn’t cut, he do it again, but the knife didn’t cut again, he do it a again but the result was same. God send him a ship and said to Abraham don’t sacrifice your son, sacrifice that ship, I accept your sacrifice.

So prophet Ismail stayed alive. Every year Muslims celebrating on this day (they call it Al-Adha.). The rich people sacrifice a ship, lamb or caw and send it’s meet to poor people as a gift.

second reason

Ma’at Ma’at asna ashar

As you know, the number of people converting to Islam is more than the other religions. Islam will be the first religion of Europe in the next twenty years and the in ten years Muslims will possess the most important international positions. Because it is a realistic religion; with Islam, in the suitable time we are invited to peace or to defend what is right. It means that you can retaliate but God loves that slaves who forgive them. By the way, this is your right to forgive or not. It is more interesting in chapter seventeen. Chapter 17, verse 1, 2 “When Abram was ninety-nine years old the LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless. And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”

He emphasized on “multiply exceedingly”. Now, Ismael is born, he is thirteen, because he was born when Abraham was eighty-six. Chapter 17, verse 3, 4, 5 “Then Abram fell on his face; and God said to him, Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations. No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.”

There is a strange point here. As we explained last session, after Ismael was born, the event that happened when he was thirteen, God made Abraham the father of a multitude of nations. I want to talk about another interesting point. The Book of Genesis, Chapter 17, verse 20. “As for Is’mael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him and make him fruitful and multiply him exceedingly; he shall be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.”

So, first, Abraham wanted a request for Ismael that God had accepted it and He said He did it especially for Ismael. And second, He said that He blessed him. As we know blessing belongs to the Prophets. The Jews believe that Isaac had blessed Jacob, but he did not bless Esau and Esau did not become the Prophet. While Prophet Isaac believed that Esau should be the Prophet but because he was blind, he could not tell the difference between Esau and Jacob and nominated Jacob as a prophet. He said that He would bless him and make him fruitful and multiply him exceedingly and he shall be the father of twelve princes. He would make him twelve religious leaders and a great nation. The fine point that the Jews’ trick, is our discussion that recognizes these twelve leaders, who are Ismael’s children. Many of the Torah commentators expressed that they are the twelve sons of Ismael. It is said that Ismael had twelve sons and a daughter. 

But the verse did not say Ismael’s son, it say Madmad’s son! God say I will increase Ismael by Madmad, 12 princes will born. So who is Madmad? And the other point is that, it said 12 princes not 12 brothers! God is speaking about a generation

Prophet Ismael’s daughter daughter married Esau, the son of Isaac (Esau, the son of Isaac married his cousin, the only daughter of Ismael). If you read the Torah in Hebrew, you will understand that trick, because it is not clear in its English translation. I go to the site bible usccb and enter the desired verse; chapter 17, verse 12 and you will see that the result will be very shocking.

It is mentioned that He accepted his request about Ismael. It is said: I will make you fruitful and multiply you exceedingly and I will bless you. It is correct up to here. Immediately it is said that he shall be the father of twelve leaders; but this is not right. If you look carefully, you will find out that there is a Hebrew word which has been translated as “too many”. As here its pronunciation is written: be Ma’at Ma’at asna ashar. I will give Ma’at Ma’at twelve leaders. The word Ma’at Ma’at has not been translated at all. They have divided it and translated it as too many. He had promised that Ma’at Ma’at came and there would be twelve leaders after him; they are the large generation that the Torah had mentioned. As you have seen, it is mentioned in the Torah. So the Jews should explain about it. Who is Ma’at Ma’at and why have they omitted his name? Even now, we have it in the Torah that some linguists believe it has been distorted. It is strange. They have used another form of falsification. Many Christians read the Torah in English, but it was not written in English indeed. The book has been translated from Hebrew to Greek and then to English. Who is Ma’at Ma’at? This name looks like the name of Muhammad in Islam.  

Madmad is like Muhammad, you know, if a person named Muhammad, we sometimes contract his name and call him like this: Mamad, Hey Mamad, how are u? 

The interesting point in the Jewish Gematria (the numerology of Jews) is that these two words are the same according to the number of Abjad letters. The Abjad numeral of b Ma’at Ma’at is ninety two and it is also ninety two for Muhammad. And according to the Jewish Gematria, he was a special person that God has promised him. Let me explain to you that other point in the next session. Just remember that there was a son for Ismael in his offspring; (Muhammad). And I will bless him and make him fruitful and multiply him exceedingly; he shall be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation, it means that they should not be brothers because he had said that generation would come after generation and would come Ma’at Ma’at and twelve leaders (it means that Muhammad and his twelve offspring).

Two ten Princes will born by Ma’adma’ad (Muhammad). (They are not brothers, they are generation after generation)

Iulid is a word that is same in Arabic and Hebrew, and it means born

  This is exactly the same as the Shiites’beliefs, who are a part of Muslims. After Prophet Muhammad, they have twelve Leaders and it seems too strange and Unbelievable.

Ma’at Ma’at ; unfortunately they had not translated this part and they had used another word cleverly. You can refer to the sites that have been quoted in the Holy Book and see chapter 17, verse 20. It is mentioned that twelve Imams would come after Ma’at Ma’at; they are the Divine promise that God had established with Abraham; it was to be realized by Ismael. The promise was that God would bless him and make him fruitful and multiply him exceedingly. This is what has been narrated in the book of Genesis, chapter 17, verse 20. It is same as the ideology of the Shiites that is one of the sects of Islam. They believe in a prophet called Muhammad and twelve Imams that the first one is Ali and the latest is Muhammad again. So we have two Muhammad’s in this sect, the first one is the Prophet and the second is the one who will appear with Jesus in the Apocalypse, the time that religious people believe in.

third reason

Only son 

But now the question is that was it Ismael or Isaac who was going to be sacrificed for God? According to what the Jews indicate, it was Isaac and the Muslims maintain that based on certain reasons and said that, the Jews have distorted the verses to dissemble themselves as the ones who have achieve supreme position. They could not stand this fact that the Divine promise is realized by the son of a servant, so they put the name of Isaac instead of Ismael. So let’s see what the truth is. I will refer to the chapter 22, the verses 9 to 13. Listen carefully, it is an interesting point.

“when they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the wood."

But Muslims say that they have put Isaac instead of Ismael.

“The Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.” There is a point. Pay attention to it. Here, it is said “Abraham” not “Abram”. It is an important point. It is about our discussion on the letter “H” that was added to the name of the Prophet in the last sessions.

“The Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here am I.” He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."

God says that He was giving a test from him and to see if he would sacrifice his son for Him although he had waited a lot for that son. He believed that Abraham fear Him indeed and obey Him.

“For now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."

The point is here: “your only son"

God mentions that he has only one son and he wanted to sacrifice that son for Him. Everybody know that Ismael was thirteen years older than Isaac. So if Isaac is the one who was going to be sacrificed, why is it said “Your only son”? Because Isaac was not their only son and they have had another son before him. God said to Hagar that He would bless her son; He said to Abraham that He would comply him with Ismael and his son would never be omitted. So when He said “Your only son”, He meant Ismael. But they have distorted the story and added a letter “H” to Abram in this position and put Isaac instead of Ismael.

“And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son."

So it is clear that “only son” had been Ismael. Because he was their only son. The other point that the Jews insisted on was that Ismael could not be counted as the son of Abraham because his mother was a maid, but Isaac’s mother was a mistress. In fact they damage themselves more with this explanation, because according to the Holy book, four sons of Jacob (one third of the Israel) had the maids as mothers. Dan, Nephtali, Gad, Asher are the sons of Prophet Jacob whose mothers are the maids. Even, Samson who had been granted supernatural strength by God at the birth was from the generation of Dan.

It means that a prophet was from the generation of a maid. It is a racist thought indeed. She was a woman and the wives should be at the same level. As you saw, referring to different parts of the Holy Book, we proofed that Ismael was the one who was supposed to be sacrificed and also the divine promise was about him and there would be a Prophet (Muhammad) and twelve Imams (leaders) from his offspring. Exactly the same as what happened many years later.

4^th reason

Moses talked about a Prophet after him, among the brothers of the children of Israel

But the other point; did Moses talk about Prophet Muhammad? There is a pretention in the Book of Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verses 16 to 19; especially the verses 18 and 19.

“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."

The first point: It is said that God would send a prophet among the brothers of the children of Israel who is similar to Moses. It is said that among their brothers not among themselves. 

You see that, God say to Moses I will raise up to children’s of Israel, from among of brothers of Children’s of Israel

So he is not among the children of Israel, but he is their brother. How is it possible? It is said their brothers not your brothers, but why? Moses was the Prophet for all of twelve groups not just one of them. He said that God had told him He would send a prophet like Moses. So if he would not be among their Children of Israel, who could he be? Ismael. He could be among the children of Ismael. Because Ismael was their cousin and of course brother because they had the same father. The important point is that Ismael and Isaac were brothers and as the Torah said, they had buried Prophet Abraham together. Many Christians claimed that Prophet had been Jesus, but it is not right, because Jesus was from the generation of Judah (one of the children of Israel). We agree that Judah was one of the brothers of the Children of Israel and Saint Mary was from his generation. But it was said a prophet among their brothers, not yours. And of course, this prophet should be like Moses; as we know, there is not much similarity between Jesus and Moses while Muhammad has much similarity.

5^th reason

second point: I will put my words in his mouth

The Book of Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verses 16 to 19; especially the verses 18 and 19

“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"

The second point said that he would say His words, it means that his words would be the words of God and we have the same thing in the Quran. There are some chapter in the Quran which being with “Say”. In face this is what God has said to Gabriel and he has transferred it to the Prophet. The Prophet had been so trustee that told it to the people without any changes.

For example:

There are some chapter in the Quran which begin with “say”.  “say: He is Allah, the One and Only".

And the Prophet transferred it completely.

6^th reason

The third point: A prophet like Moses

(The Book of Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verses 16 to 19; especially the verses 18 and 19:

“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."

The third point said that like Moses: There are a lot of similarities between Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Moses, even more than other prophets

1-Both of them migrated to be successful and be able to form a government. Prophet Moses went from Egypt to the Holy Land and Prophet Muhammad went from Mecca near the Mount Paran  to Tayman, (a region in the north of Medina.)

2-Both of them had used the sword while Jesus neither migrated nor used the sword.

3-Both of them had similar tests. People of Moses had an economic test; God sent them just a certain kind of food for them for a while and they could not stand it. Prophet Muhammad had an economic exam too. They were in the She’b-e Abi Talib, under economic pressure for three years.

4-They had the exam of Jihad (campaign against something). Prophet Moses was told to go to the Holy Land and fight but they refused. Prophet Muhammad had also a military test for Jihad. As we know, the battles of Badr, Uhud and Trench were the battles that were imposed on the Prophet by the pagans. A lot of people think that the Prophet had begun those battles, but it should be know that all of them were defensive battles. But we know that Prophet Jesus did not have any battles.

5-The other point is death. Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Moses had died a natural death but as they say, Jesus did not die a natural death. Of course Muslims do not think that he was martyred; they believe that He ascended and went to heaven, but was not crucified.

6-Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Moses had the Religion and the Sharia, but Prophet Jesus did not bring a religion and just confirmed what the Torah had said and corrected the falsifications for the Rabbis.

7- Both of them had an assistant who helped them; Prophet Moses had Aaron and Prophet Muhammad had Imam Ali (the first Imam of the twelve Imams that I explained before). He had told Ali that his position towards him was the same as Aaron’s position towards Moses. It need to be talked about in a separate session. There is an interesting point that I will talk about later.

7^th reason

Sinai, Seir, Paran

The prophet for whom they were waiting had certain qualities. The Book of Deuteronomy, chapter 33, verses one to four: “And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death."

We also saw that it was announced in chapter 18 by Moses. “And He said, The LORD came from the Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from Mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands saints."

It is the same as the reality of the Divine revelation. In the first religion, Judaism, the Divine revelation was revealed on Mount Sinai, After that, Sair and Prophet Jesus. It is interesting to know that Sair is the name of a village near Jerusalem in which Jesus was revealed. And third, Paran. Where is it? Paran is the place where Ismael and his children were

As you saw It is said in the Book of Genesis, chapter 21, verse21. 

You know that Prophet Ismael was thirsty and his mother found a whater well that named it Zamzam. (Saint Hager feared  And said to her child, stop! Stop! Or zam! Zam!) And now it is the foundation in Mecca

So the Divine revelation was revealed first on Sinai, then on Seir, and then on Paran. The last one is the place where Ismael and his children lived and as we know, Muhammad was from the generation of Ismael. Book of Genesis, chapter 21, verse 17-21: “and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said to her, “what troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid: for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. Come lift up the boy and hold him fast with your hand, for I will make a great nation of him”. He is addressing Hagar, because Ismael is his son. “Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. She went, and filled the skin with water, and gave the boy a drink."

it is interesting to know that this fountain is placed in Mecca and Mecca is placed near the Mount Paran. That fountain is called Zam Zam which means “stop” in Hebrew. While Hagar had left his son in the desert and was looking for water, she saw the fountain appearing under her son’s feet; she was afraid and said: Stop! Stop! And it became the name of that fountain.

“Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. She went, and filled the skin with water, and gave the boy a drink. God was with the boy, and he grew up; he lived in the wilderness of Paran."

It is said clearly in the Torah that he settled in Paran and on the other hand, it is said in the Book of Deuteronomy that the Divine revelation came from the Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from Mount Paran. It is same as a sun which comes up lightly, rises and becomes too shiny when it is near Mount paran. It is very interesting.

So Prophet Moses had talked about Prophet Muhammad in the Torah. It has pointed out that the last Prophet that would rise up and shine would be in Paran. And Paran exactly where Ismael and his children settled. And Muhammad is generation of Ismael. It is interesting that it is said that he would come with thousands of saints; and it is strange that it is the same as the Conquest of Mecca. In that event, Prophet Muhammad entered Mecca with thousands of people. They conquered Mecca without any war, resistance or bloodshed. Now we are going to see how the rabbis explain this issue. In response to this, the rabbis used this verse the other way around. First in Sinai: Prophet Moses, Second in Seir: Prophet Jesus, Third in Paran: Prophet Muhammad.

They say it vice versa: first Paran, then Seir, then Sinai. But why do they say it vice versa? They want to show it the other way around. What would happen if it is said in this way? But they have no right to do that. 

Let me see, you know that for eating the soup, we should pickup a spoon at first and then you can eat soup with spoon. But a person say to you, hey! open your mouth at first and then eat soup with your hand and then pickup the spoon! J it is like a . J joke

They should not do that. The sequences have been mentioned from Moses to Muhammad. They have said that at first, the revelation was sent to the children of Ismael, and they did not accept it. Then, it was sent to the children of Esau and they did not accept it either (You see that the Jews do not believe in Prophet Jesus at all and assigned this verse to Esau, the brother of Prophet Jacob). And then it was sent to the Jews in the Sinai and they accepted it. First, they had no right to tell it the other way around. It causes a paradox here; the Jews became very racist and said that the Divine revelation is not sent to non-Jews. On the other hand, they pretend that the Divine revelation had been sent to the children of Ismael and Esau, but they didn’t deserve it and it was sent to the children of Israel. So we ask them, if they did not deserve it, why the Divine revelation has been sent to them? When they were faced with this paradox, they changed the story and claimed that God had not sent the revelation to them, but sent it to their angel. They say that the angle of the children of Ismael and Esau is Gabriel and the angel of the children of Israel is Michael. It means that Gabriel did not accept the revelation and so God gave it to Michael and he accepted it and took it to the children of Israel. But in this situation, while the angle did not accept the revelation, what was their fault? 

It is like a joke too, God said to Gabriel: send my order to Ismael and he said to God: I’m not in the mood of that! Say it to Michael! J

The other question is that how you can consider the angel guilty. That is not true. It is interesting that God has indicated in the Quran that the Jews are the enemy of Gabriel.

God has said in the Quran that the Jews are the enemy of Gabriel and they believe in Michael.

While the revelation was sent to Moses by Gabriel. There is no difference between them. You should consider it. I am going to read a part from a Jewish rabbi who had converted to Shia Islam; Haj baba Ghazvini. He lived some decades ago; hearing the Jewish argument about this problem, he answered: Subhan Allah! (It is a sentences that Muslims are using when they want to compurgation of subject, it means Allah is holy). What dose malice, pertinacity, prejudice have to do with the father’s religion and worldliness of a person?  It makes you made in a way that you cannot understand even the simplest thing. They reprimand God for giving the revelation to an angel and not giving it to the other one. They also blame the prophet and the angels. (The Issue of refusing the revelation by Gabriel and accepting it by Michael). They considered for no reason. And even we accept his guilt, what was the sin of the children of Ismael and Esau? And even, they expect to be rewarded by God! God forbid! I seek refuge in God! This rabbi had converted to Shia Islam and he sought refuge with God from these prejudiced and ignorant people. “We tried a lot to be tactful and not irreverent, and use scientific debates instead of cursing, at last I could not manage to do it and I had to write something unaccustomed. Forgive me for the forging of the pen.

8^th reason

Salah (A kind of say praying of Muslims)

I want to show you another verse in book of Psalms (the Islamic Zabur, book of David) in which the name of Prophet Muhammad has been mentioned. (84:3-6) “Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee, Selah. Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the ways of them."

The interesting point here, is that Prophet David has used the word “Selah” in these verses. It is strange. What is this “Selah”? It has been deleted from the translation or has been translated as “weapon”!

Hebrew and Arabic are similar, the roots of both Languages is one.

In Hebrew and English and Arabic:

Sala (סלה)= praying=صلاه

Sela (נשק)= weapon= سلاح

This word has much similarity to the word “Salah” which means Pray. It talks about the people who are praying towards the new house. (the house of God in Mecca or qibla)

9^th reason

New House of God, Bacca (Mecca)

Prophet Muhammad was praying toward Jerusalem but when Jews offend him, God ordered to him to change it, after that Prophet Muhammad and Muslims pray toward Mecca.

There is a verse in Quran in which, God has said to the Prophet to change the direction of Praying from Jerusalem to Mecca, in Masjid which is named Al-Qiblatain. (It means that it has two direction of two house of God)

“And we put it a sign for people of the Book to know this is the prophet we said” (Quran: 2: 144)

As we see, God had told them clearly that the prophet of the Day of Reckoning would pray towards a new qibla. Todays, the kings of Arabia (the Wahhabis) have tried a lot to destroy Masjid Al-Qiblatain as the sign of the divine Prophet.  :-(

“Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. And who is passing through the valley of Baca and make it a well.” (The Book of Psalms, 84:5-6)

You should know that “Baca” is another name for Mecca. I will read some verse of Quran for you. “All foods was lawful to the children of Israel, except what Israel made unlawful for itself, before the Law (of Moses) was revealed. Say: Bring ye the Law and study it, if ye be men of truth.” (3:93)

 It means that if you are right, you can bring the Torah and it will show that all you say about the Prophets is not in the Torah. The Prophet told his last words to them. He told them to bring the Torah to them what it had said about the other prophets; and he wanted to show his position in the Torah. “Say: “Allah has spoken the Truth: follow the religion of Abraham, the sane in faith; he was not of the Pagans.” (3:95)

It means that Abraham was not one of the polytheists. As you know, many prophets had been insulted in Torah, for example, it is said that Prophet Abraham had married his stepsister; Or I it is said that Prophet David had committed adultery with a married woman and then killed her husband; it is said that Prophet Solomon had been a pagan and so on.

“The first House (of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakka: Full of blessing and of guidance for all kinds of beings” (3:96)

As you see, the word of “Bakka” that had been used in the Torah (Psalms or Zabur of David) is used in the Quran too. In the other verses, God asks the Jews why they ignored the right which has said in the Quran; the right that had been indicated before, in the Book of Prophet David. It has talked about praying to the new house; it has also explained that land is Bakka, and people will be happy while they enter there and get more strength. If you compare it with what is said in Islam, you cannot find any other evidence.

10^th reason

Prophet Isaiah says about kedar (Qeydar, Heydar)

10.1- The villages [that] Kedar doth inhabit

We will talk about Prophet Isaiah and his book and we are going to see if it has talked about Prophet Muhammad or not.

It is said in the book of Isaiah, chapter 42, that the children of Ismael would be powerful. It is said in the Torah that Prophet Ismael had twelve son and the second one was Qeydar. He is also know as Qidar, Geydar, Heydar. (Heydar in Arabic language and Qeydar in Hebrew)

Arabic language and Hebrew are similar, because their root is one. (Aramaic)

It is important to know that Prophet Muhammad is the grandson of Qeydar, (Heydar in Arabic). And Qeydar is the second son of Ismael who is the first son of Abraham. Let’s read the first verse of chapter 42; I will explain verse ten and eleven.

“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. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. 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: 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;

To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, [and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. 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. 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.”(42:1-11)

 

So it is promised that they will raise their voices and will shout and they will overcome their enemies.

“Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands

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.”(42:12-13)

The Book of Genesis, (25:13)

“Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham: 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, And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah”(25:12-15)

So the second son was Kedar and as we know, Prophet Muhammad is from the generation of Kedar. We had in the last verse that there were some wars between the children of Kedar; then God would cry and prevail against their enemies and would seize the area.

10-2. first Imam Heydar (Qeydar, kedar)

Ali (Qeydar), the first Imam, caressing orphans and statue of justice and conqueror of Keybar

The other interesting point is that the Jews were settled in the north of Medina (Timan) and built a fort there which was called Khaybar (it is like kedar). We explain Prophet Muhammad and the twelve Imams; the first one was Imam Ali whose nickname was Heydar (Qeydar ,Kedar in Hebrew) and his mother had chosen it.

 It has been quoted in the history that no one could break the fortress except kedar. When he conquered the fortress as commander, the rabbi asked his name. They answered Iliya (Ali). But he did not believe it and said that according to their predictions, the name of the one who defeated them should be Qidar (Qeydar, Heydar). The predictions he said might be according to these verses. The Arabs answered that his name was Heydar or Qidar.

10.3-war

And the other point is that some wars will happen. And it is in history that unbelieving make an army and attack to Prophet Muhammad and his followers several times, and they defend

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.”(42:12-13

11^th reason

Prophet Habakkuk pointed to Teman and Paran and Salah

The other interesting point that I want to explain is the Book of Habakkuk. He was a Prophet who was buried in Tuyserkan, Iran. It is interesting to know that fifteen years ago, some thief destroyed a wall near his tomb and suddenly, this prophet’s body was completely intact after 2500 years. Iranian officials filmed this event and kept the film secret and has not broadcast it yet. Many Muslim pilgrims go to this shrine and believe him as a divine Prophet. And 8^th Imam (His real name is Ali but Iranian people call him Imam Reza. His tomb is in Iran too) referred to this book during a discussion with a Jewish rabbi.

We can find this issue again in this book, chapter 3, verse 3

“O LORD, I have heard thy speech, [and] was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy. God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.”(3:2-3)

He has used the word “Selah” again.

Hebrew and Arabic are similar, the roots of both Languages is one.

In Hebrew and English and Arabic:

Sala (סלה)= praying= صلاه

Sela (נשק)= weapon= سلاح

This word has much similarity to the word “Salah” which means Pray.

According to the Hastings’ Dictionary of the Bible, these verses prove that Teman was a region north of Medina.

Teman is a town which we said about that up.

Some of Jews went and settled in the north of Medina. (Teman) because they know that the new Prophet will come there. 

Bany Qurayza and Bany Nadir and bani Qaynuqa

And some of Jews went to Yeman because it is like a bit to the word of Teman in Torah. (The Nagran Jews)

As you know Prophet Muhammad’s family and even his townsmen did not accept him as a Prophet and they want to kill him so he ran away from his city to Medina. (Teman) and Teman’s People accepted him as a Prophet and heard to him. This question is so important that why Timan’s People accept new Prophet without any question? Because the Jews that was settled there, was said to their people that new Prophet will come to your city so the people was ready for him. And this point shows that the Jews waiting for Prophet Muhammad, and they cover it now!

Medina (Timan) & Mecca (Paran, Bacca)

some of Jews went there and settled in the north of Medina (Timan) and built a fort there which was called Khaybar. They was waiting to a Person that comes in Prophet Habakkuk’s book. First Imam Heydar (Qeydar) break the fortress Kheybar (Qeybar). When he conquered the fortress as commander, the rabbi asked his name. They answered Iliya (Ali). But he did not believe it and said that according to their predictions, the name of the one who defeated them should be Qidar (Qeydar). And thy said yes his nickname is Heydar. (Qeydar)

Then it is said that the Holy One comes from Paran. And it was a divine promise that God’s words come true. And we course we had proofe that Paran means Mecca, the religion where Ismael settled. We know that the Prophet formed a government in medina (Timan) and then went to Paran.

The other point is that Prophet Muhammad is named the mercy for the world in Quran. And Prophet Habakkuk said that: Oh, .Lord remember in wrath mercy

In the book of Haj Baba Ghazvini who had been a Jewish rabbi, page 88:

محضر الشهود فی رد الیهود

Admitted and confirmed that this story conformed to Prophet Muhammad and nobody else. Of course it is interesting that some of the Jews had tried to delete the “T” of Timan and attribute it to Yemen. Although Yemen is in the south of Saudi Arabia. They wanted to show the truth the other way around, but they did not manage to do it.

It is interesting to know that, Muhammad was a name that was not popular name, when Prophet Muhammad was born, and in the year of his born, 40 baby named Muhammad suddenly! I think some Jews knew that when new Prophet will born. It was the year that Abraha attack to Mecca, and destroy Kaaba (God’s House) and God order to his army, and Ababil bird attacked to Abraha’s army and threw the fiery gravel to their heads. Because God want to save his House. It was a miracle, And was a pointing to the new Prophet’s born.

12^th reason

Prophet Isaiah points to Arabia and points to the land of Tema too

“The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come. The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim. The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.”(21:11-15)

It is explicitly insisted that the revolution is about the Arabs and we know that Muhammad was from the generation of the Arabs. It is really clear.

And it has pointed to the Timan again (the north of Medina)

Medina (Timan) & Mecca (Paran, Bacca)
