15. THE AMAZING PROPHECIES OF MUHAMMAD<br />

(BPUH) IN THE BIBLE: TWENTY-EIGHT<br />

PROOFS FROM THE BIBLE OF MUHAMMAD’S<br />

PROPHETHOOD 47<br />

The Biblical prophecies about the coming of Prophet Muhammad (bpuh) prove the<br />

truth of Islam for people who <strong>be</strong>lieve in the Bible. Before addressing these<br />

prophecies, readers should consider the following points:<br />

Islamic teachings give a criterion according <strong>to</strong> which portions or passages from<br />

the Bible can <strong>be</strong> either accepted or rejected. This criterion has <strong>be</strong>en descri<strong>be</strong>d in the<br />

following verse of the Quran:<br />

{And We have revealed <strong>to</strong> you [O Muhammad] the book in truth, confirming that<br />

which preceded it of the scripture and as a criterion over it...} (Quran 5: 48)<br />

This verse emphasizes two main aspects of the Quran:<br />

1) The Quran confirms only those teachings or passages of the previous<br />

scriptures which have remained intact.<br />

2) The Quran is the final, complete, authoritative and authentic revelation<br />

from Allah. It is the final arbiter and the only criterion <strong>to</strong> correct any<br />

inaccuracy or misinterpretation which might have occurred in the<br />

transmission of scriptures throughout the ages. It helps <strong>to</strong> discover, expose,<br />

and disclose human additions or interpolations of previous revelations.<br />

Indeed, one of the names of the Quran is al-Furqan (the criterion which<br />

distinguishes <strong>be</strong>tween right and wrong, truth and falsehood).<br />
