The priest-professor Abdul-Ahad, who later on embraced Islam, said: “... therefore we should view this prophecy truthful beyond question. It is identified with the character of Ahmad and his message Islam. That is because both the words Hamada and Shalom or Shalama give precisely the same meaning and have the same importance of Ahmad and Islam [^5] ... in many of Christ's statements we read the good news of the Prophethood of Muhammad (S) and the mentioning of his name.
Jesus' Prophecy about Muhammad (S): “And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Surely I am the Apostle of Allah to you, verifying that which was (revealed) before me of the Torah, and giving the glad tidings of an Apostle who will come after me, whose name is Ahmad...”Holy Qur'an (61:6) “Those who follow the Apostle - Prophet, the Ummi whom they find ordained for them in the Torah and the Evangel, he enjoins them good and forbids them evil...” Holy Qur'an (7:157) The Gospel of Jesus (a) brought into sharper focus the identity of the one who would fulfil the promise to make the line of Ishmael (a) a great nation.
In the Gospel of John - a New Testament book which is not the Gospel of Jesus (a) and which may be considered as representing only in general terms portions of his teachings. Christ informs his close companions that his work among them was drawing to conclusion, but God would send someone else after a time to carry forward the prophetic movement. This someone, however, would be the last of the prophets.
The following passages of the New Testament lend further proof to the Prophethood of Muhammad (S): “And this is the record of John (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 said: “I am not.” “Art thou That Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” And they asked him, and said unto him, “why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither That Prophet.” John (1: 19-21, 25 ) “If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray to the Father and He shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
