15.9 The consistency between Muhammad’s and Jesus’ teachings
Proof 28: One important proof that Muhammad (bpuh) is the prophet foretold in
the Biblical references is the absolute consistency between the original (undistorted)
teaching with which Jesus and other prophets were sent and those with which
Muhammad (bpuh) came. To clarify, these are: calling to monotheism, glorifying
Allah in His supreme attributes, believing in the Oneness of Allah in His essence,
forbidding people from ascribing any of Allah’s attributes to him, and many
others. 70 This is not a surprise, because every prophet revived the basic beliefs that
had been distorted over time after the departure of the preceding prophet. Islam,
being the final message, revived the basic beliefs and practices of all the preceding
messages, including the message of Jesus (pbuh). It clarified it and removed the
misconceptions which had become attached to the pure creed with which Jesus was
sent, so that people would find it clear and straightforward to follow.
As the well-known scholar and commentator on the Quran, Abdur-Rahman ibn
Nasir as-Sadi, wrote:
If Prophet Muhammad (bpuh) was not a true prophet, then his message
would have contradicted the common message of Jesus and other prophets
before him. Instead, it revived it and re-instated it.
It should now be clear that the Biblical prophecies speak of none other than
Muhammad (bpuh). Many thanks to Allah, Who made the path clear for us. It is
interesting to note that in year 571 CE, Jesus’ prophecy was fulfilled. Muhammad
(bpuh) was born into a community of Ishmaelite Arabs who had become polytheists
and idolaters; when he reached maturity and was given revelation, Prophet
Muhammad (bpuh) started preaching his message of the worship of Allah alone.
In the year 632 CE, he left this world; however, his bright message will remain
with people until the end of this world.
