And it shall come to pass...

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.” (18:18-19) Christians try to fit this prophecy on Prophet 'Isa (a.s.). But it fits nobody except Mustafa (s.a.w.a.) because:- The Prophet was to come from among the breathen of Israel. Any Prophet coming from Bani Israel is therefore excluded from this good tiding.

Now, as we know, Prophet 'Isa (a.s.) was from Bani Israel, while (s.a.w.a.) was from Bani Ismael who were the brethren of Bani Israel. The Prophet was to be 'like unto Moses.' Prophet Musa (a.s.) had to make war, and (s.a.w.a.) also had to defend himself through war. But Prophet Isa (a.s.) did never enter a war. Prophet Musa (a.s.) had a brother Haroon (Aaron), who was to succeed him.

No such brother was to Prophet 'Isa (a.s.), while (s.a.w.a.) had Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) to whom he said “Thou art to me as Aaron was to Moses, expect that there is no prophet after me.” Prophet Musa (a.s.) left the religious leadership to the children of Aaron. Prophet 'Isa (a.s.) did not make any such arrangement.

(s.a.w.a.) made similar arrangement in his Ummah by leaving Islam in the hands of Ali and his children Hasan and Husayn (a.s.) ”…… and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak upto them all that I shall command him.” This criterion fits (s.a.w.a.) only, because Prophet 'Isa (a.s.) did not claim it for himself, while Allah (s.w.t.) said in the Qur'an for (s.a.w.a.): ” And he doesn't speak (aught) on his own accord; it is naught but a revelation revealed (unto him).” (Qur'an, 53:34) Prophet 'Isa (a.s.) did never claim that he was the promised Prophet of this sentence, while Allah (s.w.t.) mentioned this similarity between Prophet Musa (a.s.) and (s.a.w.a.) in the Qur'an in the verse, ” Verily, we sent unto you a Messenger, a witness on you, as we sent a messenger unto Pharaoh.” (73:15) Prophet 'Isa (a.s.) did not claim that he was the like of Moses (a.s.), while (s.a.w.a.) said to Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) “Thou art to me as Aaron was to Moses, expect that there is no prophet after me.” Prophet 'Isa (a.s.) himself said that the Prophet who was to come after him will fulfil this prophecy.

See the following sentences of John: ” 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.” (John, 16:13) Other Prophecies (A) Dueteronomy “And he (i.e.
