Proof 16: “Sing <strong>to</strong> the Lord a new song, his praise from the end of the earth…”<br />

(42:10)<br />

A new song may <strong>be</strong> a reference <strong>to</strong> a new scripture in a language other than the<br />

language of the Israelite scriptures. This interpretation seems consistent with a more<br />

explicit mention of someone who will <strong>be</strong> speaking <strong>to</strong> people (including the<br />

Israelites) in “a foreign <strong>to</strong>ngue.” (Isaiah 28:11)<br />

This explanation seems <strong>to</strong> fit closely with the verse that speaks of the praise of<br />

God “from the ends of the earth.” (Isaiah 24:16) Only in the case of Islam do we<br />

find this prophecy realized in amazing accuracy. In all corners of the earth, five<br />

times every day, the praise of Allah and His last messenger, Muhammad (bpuh), is<br />

chanted from the minarets of hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of mosques<br />

around the world. Additionally, millions of devout Muslims praise Allah and<br />

Muhammad (bpuh) frequently on a daily basis. Praising Abraham and his<br />

descendants, along with Muhammad (bpuh) and his descendants, is even a part of<br />

the five daily obliga<strong>to</strong>ry prayers.<br />

The 42 nd chapter of Isaiah is indeed a fascinating one. It is not a casual or<br />

ambiguous reference <strong>to</strong> the Messenger of Allah (bpuh), who was <strong>to</strong> come centuries<br />

later. It is rather a comprehensive profile fitting only one person: Prophet<br />

Muhammad (bpuh). After all, the chapter relates this profile <strong>to</strong> Kedar, son of<br />

Ishmael, and no other descendant of Ishmael fits this description except Muhammad<br />

(bpuh).<br />

Proof 17: Riding the camel<br />

Prophet Isaiah (pbuh) prophesied the coming of two leaders, whom he<br />

metaphorically called ‘chariots’, one riding a donkey and another riding a camel.<br />

“And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot<br />

of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed.” (Isaiah 21:7, KJV)<br />

<strong>Who</strong> are the ‘couple of horsemen’?<br />

They are Jesus (pbuh) and Muhammad (bpuh). Let us examine the proof:<br />
