THE QUR’ÂN AL-KERÎM<br />
It is written in the Bible that a final Prophet ‘alaihis-salâtu was-salâm’<br />
will come after Îsâ ‘alaihis-salâm’. The sixteenth verse of<br />
the fourteenth chapter of the Gospel of John quotes Îsâ ‘alaihissalâm’<br />
as having said:<br />
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another<br />
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;” (John: 14-16)<br />
The twenty-sixth verse reads as follows: “But the Comforter,<br />
which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,<br />
he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your<br />
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” (ibid: 26) And it<br />
is written in the thirteenth verse of the sixteenth chapter:<br />
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you<br />
into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he<br />
shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to<br />
come.” (ibid: 16-13). [Christians insistently interpret the word<br />
‘Comforter’ as ‘Ghost’.]<br />
Furthermore, it is written in the Old Testament part of the<br />
Holy Bible that a Prophet belonging to the Arabian race will<br />
come. The fifteenth verse of the eighteenth chapter of<br />
Deuteronomy quotes Mûsâ ‘alaihis-salâm’ as having said to the<br />
Israelites: “The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet<br />
from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye<br />
shall hearken;” (Deut: 18-15) The word ‘brethren’ of the Israelites<br />
used in this text means ‘Ismâîlîs (Ismaelites)’, i.e. ‘the Arabs’. The<br />
last Prophet whose advent is given as good news in the Bible and<br />
the Torah is Muhammad ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’. The<br />
religion he brought is Islam. Those who believe in this religion are<br />
termed Muslim. The Holy Book of <strong>Muslims</strong> is the Qur’ân alkerîm.<br />
The Qur’ân al-kerîm was revealed in the Arabic language<br />
to our Prophet Muhammad ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ by<br />
Allâhu ta’âlâ. Despite the fourteen hundred years ever since, not<br />
a single word or a single letter in it has been changed. Anyone who<br />
reads it, no matter in what religion he is, admires its grandeur and<br />
sublime style. Even those who do not know Arabic acknowledge<br />
the power of its tremendous textuality when they read its<br />
translations in other languages.<br />
