Muhammad Was Prophesied In The Bible? NOT. Muslims will point Ahmed-sound-a-likes or to ancient Biblical words that have similar meaning to the name of Muhammad, no matter how absurd it is. They will point you to Deuteronomy 18:15-18; 33:2; Isaiah 42:10-11; Songs 5:16; and, John 14:16; 15:26; 16:7, among others. They have a problem with Songs and Isaiah because the claim of the Quran extends only from the Law and the Gospel, Those who follow the messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the [L]aw and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him,- it is they who will prosper. (Surah 7:157. Emphasis added, See also Surah 61:6) According to the Quran, Muhammad was prophesied in the Law and in the Gospel. Remember that the Heb. Tanaakh (Old Testament) is divided into three parts (1) the Torah (the Law or the Pentateuch, lit., Five-Books); (2) the Prophets; and, (3) The Kethubim or the Writings or the Psalms. And that the Song of Songs or Songs of Solomon belongs to Kethubim or the Writings which includes the Wisdom writings (Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes), the Poetry (Psalms, Lamentations, Song of Songs), and some Stories/History (Ruth, Esther, Daniel, Esra, Nehemiah, Chronicles). And that Isaiah belongs to the Second Division of the Tanaakh which is the writings of the Prophets. This is how it was divided even in the time of Jesus ministry, [JESUS] And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. (Luke 24:44)
