Jesus fulfilled the riding of the donkey prophecy, which says, “And Jesus found a<br />

young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written.” (John 12:14)<br />

The quote “just as it is written” is referring <strong>to</strong> Isaiah 21:7. It is important <strong>to</strong> know<br />

that nowhere in the New Testament do we see Jesus (pbuh) riding any camel.<br />

Nowhere in the New Testament do we see any fulfilment of any kind about the<br />

prophecy of riding the camel.<br />

When we look at Muhammad (bpuh), he rode camels many times during his<br />

lifetime. Perhaps the most well-known incident is when he migrated from Makkah<br />

<strong>to</strong> Madinah <strong>to</strong> escape the <strong>to</strong>rture of the pagans. When Muhammad (bpuh) rode in<strong>to</strong><br />

Madinah on his camel, the Muslims in Madinah were arguing about where <strong>to</strong> build<br />

the first Islamic mosque and the Prophet’s humble home, which would <strong>be</strong> next <strong>to</strong> it.<br />

The mem<strong>be</strong>rs of each group/tri<strong>be</strong> wanted them <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> in their own neighbourhood. In<br />

order <strong>to</strong> avoid hurting anyone’s feelings, the Prophet (bpuh) released the reins of his<br />

camel so that it could walk freely, and then he let it settle at the location chosen by<br />

Allah. This wisdom from Prophet Muhammad (bpuh) solved the problem.<br />

Now, the open questions <strong>to</strong> any Jewish rabbi, or Christian priest or minister, are<br />

as follows:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Where in the Bible do we see the fulfilment of the prophecy about riding the<br />

camel?<br />

In the Bible, who was the prophet who rode the camel, thus fulfilling the<br />

prophecy of Isaiah 21:7? The New Testament fulfils the riding of the donkey<br />

prophecy (of John 12:14), and it claims that it fulfilled only that prophecy.<br />

There is still an unfulfilled prophecy in the New Testament regarding riding<br />

the camel.<br />

If Prophet Muhammad (bpuh) was not the one who fulfilled the remainder of<br />

the prophecy in Isaiah 21:7, then who was that prophet?<br />

These prophecies in the Old and New Testaments predict, in unequivocal terms,<br />

the coming of Prophet Muhammad (bpuh) and the genuineness of his prophethood.<br />
