Who deserves to be Worshiped ?

15.3 The location from which he was to emerge
Proof 18: Deuteronomy 33:1-2
Deuteronomy 33:1-2 combines references to Moses (pbuh), Jesus (pbuh) and
Muhammad (bpuh). It speaks about God’s revelation coming from Sinai, rising from
Seir (probably the village of Sair near Jerusalem) and shining forth from Paran.
According to Genesis 21:21, the wilderness of Paran was the place where Ishmael
(pbuh) settled. In other words, it was in Arabia, and specifically in Makkah.
Another sign of the prophet to come from Paran (Makkah) was that he would
come with “ten thousands of holy ones.” (Deuteronomy 33:2) That was the same
number of faithful who accompanied Prophet Muhammad (bpuh) to Makkah in his
victorious, bloodless return to his birthplace to destroy the remaining symbols of
idolatry in the Kaaba. The text says, “he shone forth from Mount Paran; he came
from the ten thousands of holy ones, with flaming fire 63 at his right hand.”
According to Islamic history, the city of Makkah (Paran) was liberated by
Prophet Muhammad’s 10,000 troops.
If Muhammad (bpuh), who liberated the city of Paran with 10,000 believing men
(“holy ones”), was not the one who fulfilled this Biblical prophecy and ended the
worship of the 365 gods (in the form of idols), then who was that prophet? Is there
another prophet who marched upon Makkah with this exact same number of men?
The historical answer is: Prophet Muhammad (bpuh) is the only prophet whom this
prophecy fits perfectly.
Proof 19: Habakkuk 3:3
Habakkuk 3:3 speaks of God (God’s help) coming from Teman (an oasis north of
Madinah, according to Hastings’ Dictionary of the Bible), 64 and the “Holy One”
63
64
The meaning of the Hebrew word used here is uncertain.
