Isaiah 42 prophesies the ‘chosen’ one (Isaiah 42:1), whose mission of<br />

prophethood would <strong>be</strong> for all the nations; this fits only Prophet Muhammad (bpuh)<br />

whose mission was for all nations, unlike the Hebrew prophets, whose missions<br />

were limited <strong>to</strong> Israel:<br />

...he will faithfully bring forth justice. He will not grow faint or <strong>be</strong><br />

discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait<br />

for his law. (Isaiah 42:3-4)<br />

Let the desert and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits;<br />

(Isaiah 42:11)<br />

Proof 4: Says what God instructs him <strong>to</strong> say<br />

Allah, the Almighty, put His words in<strong>to</strong> the mouth of Muhammad (bpuh) by<br />

sending the angel Gabriel (pbuh) <strong>to</strong> convey the exact words he should repeat <strong>to</strong> the<br />

people. The words are not his own, since they did not come from his own thoughts.<br />

To clarify, when teaching a language, if the teacher asks a student <strong>to</strong> read or repeat<br />

after him, is he not putting these foreign words in<strong>to</strong> the student’s mouth?<br />

The words of the noble Quran were revealed in an identical manner.<br />

His<strong>to</strong>ry tells us that Muhammad (bpuh) was forty years of age at that time. One<br />

night during the month of Ramadan, he was in a cave some three miles north of the<br />

lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street; a bruised reed he will not break, and a<br />

faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. He will not<br />

grow faint or <strong>be</strong> discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the<br />

coastlands wait for his law. Thus says God, the LORD, who created the heavens and<br />

stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath<br />

<strong>to</strong> the people on it and spirit <strong>to</strong> those who walk in it: “I am the LORD; I have called you<br />

in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant<br />

for the people, a light for the nations, <strong>to</strong> open the eyes that are blind, <strong>to</strong> bring out the<br />

prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness. I am the LORD;<br />

that is my name; my glory I give <strong>to</strong> no other, nor my praise <strong>to</strong> carved idols.<br />
