Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Prophecies About The Holy Prophet of Islam Prophecies in Old and New Testaments Now we come to the Jewish and the Christian scriptures. Before giving some of the prophecies from the Bible, one important thing should be made clear from the start. It is the common practice of the Jews and the Christians to translate even proper names. Thus whenever they find the name 'Muhammad', they translate it as 'the praiseworthy', 'lovely' or words like that.

This practice has helped them in 'hiding the truth' from the world, as the people reading the translations can never suspect that the sentence refers to a certain person.

Now, if that practice is followed by others, a non- English speaking man will translate the name of 'Livingstone' as a 'stone which was alive.' Then he will elaborate on this theme and will try to prove that in the 19th century, stones in Europe had life, and one of such stones had come to Africa and had travelled upto Kigoma and Ujiji in Tanzania.

Add to it the frequent changes and alterations which the Christians are so wont to make in the Old and the New Testaments, and then you can appreciate the true position. Book of Genesis Anyhow, let us begin from Genesis. I will use the King James version throughout this chapter.

Genesis 17:20, records the promise of God to Prophet Ibrahim: “And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall be beget, and I will make him a great nation.” The prayer referred to in this sentence, is given in detail in many places in the Qur'an, which runs as follows: ” And remember when Ibrahim and Ismail raised the foundations of the House (with this prayer): “Our Lord!

Accept this (service) from us for Thou art the Hearing, the Knowing. ” Our Lord; and raise amongst them a Messenger of their own who shall recite Thy communication to them and instruct them the Book and Wisdom, and purify them, for Thou art the Mighty, the Wise.” (Qur'an, 2:127-129) Deuteronomy God promised to Prophet Musa (a.s.): ” The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken.” (18:15) ” I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words into his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
