Moses) said...

Moses) said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints; from his right hand went a fiery law for them.” (Duet, 33:2) The coming of Lord means coming of God's Representatives. Now the prophet of God who came from Sinai was Prophet Musa (a.s.); that who rose from Seir (a mountain in Palestine.) is Prophet 'Isa (a.s.). But who is the Prophet who shined forth from mount Paran?

Paran is the name of a mountain in Mecca. The Prophet of God who shined forth from there is none other than Muhammad Mustafa (s.a.w.a.). (B) Isaiah “Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth….” (42:10) The old malady of translating proper names has made this prophecy meaningless.

In an Armenian translation, written in 1666 and published in 1733, it has been translated as follows: “They sing unto the Lord a new song; and his kingdom continues after him; and his name is Ahmad.” (Now the name Ahmad has been translated as meaning 'his praise') Anyhow, in this prophecy, a new song unto the Lord means a new Shari'at from God, which fits the Holy Prophet of Islam; but not so much on Prophet 'Isa (a.s.).

(C) Habakkuk The vision of Nabi Habakkuk says: “God came from Teman and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah … … his ways are everlasting.” (3:3-6). I believe there is no need to interpret this prophecy, which is so clear. The representative of Lord who came from Paran was (s.a.w.a.) and all other attributes can easily be applied to him. Allamah Fakhrul-Islam Muhammad Sadiq (formerly a Christian priest) has explained more than 30 prophecies from the Old Testament.

But as this is a short booklet, I have quoted only some of them here. From New Testament (A) “That Prophet” “And this is the record to John (i.e., the Baptist) when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? “And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. “And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.” (John,1:19-21).
