Besides all the above prophecies...
Besides all the above prophecies, there are many similar declarations made by the other Apostles of God in the various parts of the earth, at different times, emanating from the Divine Mercy of the Lord, to keep mankind informed of the Great Guide mankind Wou1d be blessed with, who would consolidate all the goodness preached through the different Apostles gone before him in the various parts of the world, at different times, against the clouds of ignorance which were impending to darken the atmosphere of the earth as a whole.
The promised Last Deliverer, Muhammad, appeared when tnspite of the Iabours of all the preceding apostles of God, there was darkness everywhere on the earth. The Seed of Abraham caused to grow in the wilderness THE HOLY PROPHET Abraham, at the command of God, had brought and left his wife Hagar with his baby son Ishmael, in the wilderness of the barren desert land of Arabia, at the spot now called MECCA.
The post where Hagar and the Baby Ishmael were left was not only barren, sandy and uninhabited, but was also water- less. For miles together around the place there was no trace of water. In short, when the poor mother wanted a little water for her Baby dying of thirst, she ran hither and thither in her agony of maternal love for her dying Baby. She ran from hillock to hillock, getting on the heights and throwing glances all around, searching for some trace of water, but all in vain.
At last she sat down totally disappointed, only to witness the impending death of her child, when suddenly she noticed a miraculous fountain of fresh drinking water gushing out from under the heels of her Baby (Ishmael) as it struck its feet on the earth, in its struggle with the choking thirst. This fact has also been vouched by the Bible:- " And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off as it were a bowshot; for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept. And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What ailetlt thee, Hagar? Fear not; for Cod bath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise,lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand for I will make him a great nation.
And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water and she went, andfihled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. Gen. 21:15-19.
