Q - Did Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prophesized about the Antichrist and his arrival?

Of course YES, prophet Muhammad (PBUH) told us that Jesus will descend again among us and will kill the Anti-Christ (named as Dajjal) by his own hands.

From Sahih Bukhari:

[Jesus & Muhammad PBUT are brothers]

1-    Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “I am the nearest of all the people to the son of Mary, and all the prophets are paternal brothers, and there has been no prophet between me and him (i.e. Jesus).”

2-    Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “Both in this world and in the Hereafter, I am the nearest of all the people to Jesus, the son of Mary. The prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one.”

3-    Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said “How will you be when the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you and he will judge people by the Law of the Quran and not by the law of Gospel (Fateh-ul Bari page 304 and 305 Vol 7)

The Antichrist appearance and Jesus arrival as informed by prophet Muhammad (PBUH):

Part 6 - Defeating the Argument “Was Jesus Son of God?” Mathematically ….

A- Calculating the Risk of saying that Jesus was “Son of God” vs. “Messenger of God”, and what will be the consequences?

1- Risk of saying he is a “messenger of God”:

(O God, forgive me for saying the following)

     

(Supposedly) If Jesus was really son of God, and he will carry your sins then he will forgive you saying that he is a messenger of God, especially that in the Bible it was mentioned many times that “God sent me”, and “God is greater than me”, and “God, he is only good one”, and messenger of God will fit all these expressions, and being messenger from GOD is not a bad term at end, so let’s have 50% risk that Jesus will send you to hell for saying this.

But, in Islam or in Judaism (although Jews don’t believe in Jesus PBUH) there is no risk of saying on someone a messenger of God, if it’s proved that he was, so it’s free risk = 0%.

Total risk for saying Jesus is only a messenger of God =

Average (50% + 0% + 0%) = 16.67% risk only.

Q – Was Jesus mentioned in the Holy Quran?

Jesus son of Mary is mentioned in Quran 25 times with many details about the great signs that he did to Children of Israel, and his miraculous birth and saving him by God from the crucifixion.

 Of these are the following verses, please read them carefully:

[Allâh chose Adam, Nûh (Noah), the family of Ibrâhim (Abraham) and the family of 'Imrân above the 'Alamîn (mankind and jinn) (of their times) (33) Offspring, one of the other, and Allâh is the All-Hearer, All-Knower. (34)

(Remember) when the wife of 'Imrân said: "O my Lord! I have vowed to You what (the child that) is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services (free from all worldly work; to serve Your Place of worship), so accept this, from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knowing." (35)

Then when she gave birth to her [child Maryam (Mary)], she said: "O my Lord! I have given birth to a female child," - and Allâh knew better what she brought forth, - "And the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam[] (Mary), and I seek refuge with You (Allâh) for her and for her offspring from Shaitan (Satan), the outcast." (36)

So her Lord (Allâh) accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zakariyâ (Zachariya). Every time he entered Al-Mihrâb[] to (visit) her , he found her supplied with sustenance. He said: "O Maryam (Mary)! From where have you got this?" She said, "This is from Allâh." Verily, Allâh provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit." (37)

Part 5 - Defeating the Argument “Was Jesus Son of God?” Rightfully ….

A – Is it right to put someone sin or mistake over another?

-          If a lazy student didn’t pass an exam, shall his friend or a student next to him or all his classmates fail too, or have the same low degree?

-          If someone get sick in a house shall all his brothers and sisters come sick too and must transfer the disease to all his neighbors too?

-          If someone stole money from someone, shall he be taken to prison, and all his family, grandparents, uncles and cosines, and nephews, step brothers, step sisters, etc…

-          If someone killed a human being and set to death penalty, shall all who have the same family name, or the same first name must be executed too with him?

-          So, why all Adams’ children and daughters and all his descendents for ages and centuries must carry a sin that they didn’t ever commit it, never attend it, never participate in, not even been asked or counseled about it to be done or not?? WHY??

-          The answer is surely: There is NO right to carry someone else mistake, even if he was our first father.

Part 4 - Defeating the Argument “Was Jesus Son of God?” Logically ….

A- Why the SIN:

-          When God created Adam, did he know that Adam and his wife will eat from the tree before or not?

-          If he knows already, so WHY that SIN must stay with Adam down with all his descendents till Jesus?

-          Why all this punishment for Adam and his children for just eating one fruit, what if Adam didn’t eat one fruit, but cut all the tree? What would happen to Jesus more?

-          What is the destiny of those who died and still have SIN before Jesus crucifixion, to hell or to heaven?

-          Why GOD had waited all this time to purify the human kind after 100,000’s of years, why it was not before?

-          Before Jesus, there were good people and Prophets from GOD, did they inherit the SIN too, and how they enter the paradise before Jesus or all went to hell?

-          How come that some prophets forgive to people by themselves without the need to mention about the salvation of Jesus?

B- Why the need for Son of GOD?

Part 3 - Defeating the Argument “Was Jesus Son of God?” Historically ….

A- The deviation of Christianity beliefs from Jesus (the prophet) to Jesus (the Son of God):

1.    Quoted from Wikipedia: “Jewish Christians”:

Following the Crucifixion, Matthew along with Mary, and other close followers of Jesus, withdrew to the "Upper Chamber" (traditionally the Cenacle) , in Jerusalem. At about this time James the Just succeeded his brother Jesus of Nazareth as leader of this Jewish sect. They remained in and about Jerusalem and proclaimed that Jesus son of Mary was the promised Messiah. These early Jewish Christians were thought to have been called Nazarenes.

Part 2 - Defeating the Argument “Was Jesus Son of God?” Religiously ….

A- Ancient Religions and the idea of “SON of God”?

Quoted from Wikipedia: “Son of God”:

-          In Greek mythology: Heracles and many other figures, human and divine, were considered to be sons of gods such as Zeus, their highest god, and Zeus himself was represented as one of the sons of another god

-          Alexander the Great: implied he was a demigod by actively using the title "Son of Ammon–Zeus". (His mother Olympias was said to have declared that Zeus impregnated her while she slept under an oak tree sacred to the god.)

-          Ancient Egyptian: The Ptolemaic pharaoh Caesarion, a son of the deified Julius Caesar and Cleopatra VII, was proclaimed divine, son of a god and King of Kings at the donations of Alexandria ceremony in autumn 34 BCE.

-          The Roman emperor Augustus: Caesar's adopted son, was also called "divi filius": "Divi filius", not "Dei filius" (son of God), was the Latin term used, and, in Greek, the term huios theou ("son of a god") was applied.

Part 1 - Defeating the Argument “Was Jesus Son of God?” Biblically ….

A - What did God describe himself in the bible?

10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God. [Isaiah 43:10-12]

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God. [Exodus 20:3-5]

LORD had described himself as following:

-          “before me there was no God formed”; means He is the first

-          “neither shall there be after me”; means He is the last

-          “beside me there is no saviour”; means no one like him in power, control, superiority ….

-          “Thou shalt have no other gods before me”; means there is no other God with him ever.

-          “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image”; means he doesn’t look like anything we may know or think about, whether in Earth, Sky or water.

-          “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them”; means he doesn’t accept anyone to worship anyone other than him.

Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in World Scriptures: Parsi – 5/5

(Quoted from Reference: http://www.irf.net/)

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in Zend Avesta:

It is mentioned in Zend Avesta Farvardin Yasht chapter 28 verse 129 (Sacred Books of the East, volume 23, Zend Avesta Part II pg. 220):

"Whose name will be the Victorious, Soeshyant and whose name will be Astvat-ereta. He will be Soeshyant (The Beneficent one) because he will benefit the whole bodily world. He will be Astvat-ereta (he who makes the people, bodily creatures rise up) because as a bodily creature and as a living being he will stand against the destruction of the bodily (being) creatures to withstand the drug of the two footed brood, to withstand the evil done by the faithful (idolaters and the like and the errors of the Mazdaynians)".

This Prophecy applies to no other person more perfectly than it does to Muhammad (PBUH):

The Prophet was not only victorious at Fatah Makkah but was also merciful when he let go the blood thirsty opponents by saying: "There shall be no reproof against you this day".         

Soeshyant means the ‘praised one’ (refer Haisting’s Encyclopedia), which translated in Arabic means Muhammad (PBUH).

Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in World Scriptures: Buddhist – 4/5

(Quoted from Reference: http://www.irf.net/)

1. Buddha prophesised the advent of a Maitreya:
 
A) Almost all Buddhist books contain this prophecy. It is in Chakkavatti Sinhnad Suttanta D. III, 76:

"There will arise in the world a Buddha named Maitreya (the benevolent one) a holy one, a supreme one, an enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe:

What he has realized by his own supernatural knowledge he will publish to this universe. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at its climax, glorious at the goal, in the spirit and the letter. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and thoroughly pure; even as I now preach my religion and a like life do proclaim. He will keep up the society of monks numbering many thousands, even as now I keep up a society of monks numbering many hundreds".

B) According to Sacred Books of the East volume 35 pg. 225:

"It is said that I am not an only Buddha upon whom the leadership and order is dependent. After me another Buddha maitreya of such and such virtues will come. I am now the leader of hundreds; he will be the leader of thousands."

Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in World Scriptures: Hindu – 3/5

(Quoted from Reference: http://www.irf.net/)

I. Muhammad (pbuh) prophesised in Bhavishya Purana

According to Bhavishya Purana in the Prati Sarag Parv III Khand 3 Adhay 3 Shloka 5 to 8.

"A malecha (belonging to a foreign country and speaking a foreign language) spiritual teacher will appear with his companions. His name will be Mohammad. Raja (Bhoj) after giving this Maha Dev Arab (of angelic disposition) a bath in the Panchgavya and the Ganga water (i.e. purifying him of all sins) offered him the present of his sincere devotion and showing him all reverence said, "I make obeisance to thee. O ye! The pride of mankind, the dweller in Arabia, Ye have collected a great force to kill the Devil and you yourself have been protected from the malecha opponents."

The Prophecy clearly states:

The name of the Prophet as Mohammad.

He will belong to Arabia. The Sanskrit word Marusthal means a sandy track of land or a desert.

Special mention is made of the companions of the Prophet, i.e. the Sahabas. No other Prophet had as many companions as Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

He is referred as the pride of mankind (Parbatis nath). The Glorious Qur’an reconfirms this "And thou (standest) on an exalted standard of character"   [Al-Qur'an 68:4]|

"Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah, a beautiful pattern (of conduct)". [Al-Qur'an 33:21]

Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in World Scriptures: Jewish – 2/5

(Quoted from Reference: http://www.irf.net/)

1)    Muhammad (PBUH) prophesized in the book of Deuteronomy (Old Testament):

a) God Almighty speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18:

"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."

b) Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is like Moses (PBUH):

i) Both had a father and a mother.

ii) Both were married and had children.

iii) Both were accepted as Prophets by their people in their lifetime.

iv) Both besides being Prophets were also kings i.e. they could inflict capital punishment.

v) Both brought new laws and new regulations for their people.

vi) Both died a natural death.

Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in World Scriptures: Christianity – 1/5

(Quoted from Reference: http://www.irf.net/)

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the Old Testament:

The Qur’an mentions in Surah Al-Araf chapter 7 verse 157:

"Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures) in the law and the Gospel".

1. Muhammad (PBUH) prophesized in the book of Deuteronomy:

  
Almighty God speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18:    

"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."

The Christians say that this prophecy refers to Jesus (PBUH) because Jesus (PBUH) was like Moses (PBUH). Moses   (PBUH) was a Jew, as well as Jesus (PBUH) was a Jew. Moses (PBUH) was a Prophet and Jesus (PBUH) was also a Prophet.

If these two are the only criteria for this prophecy to be fulfilled, then all the Prophets of the Bible who came after Moses (PBUH) such as Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist, etc. (pbut) will fulfill this prophecy since all were Jews as well as prophets.

However, it is Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who is like Moses (PBUH) :

A Jewish Rabbi saying the name of “Muhamad” clearly during his reading of “Song of Solomns” in Hebrew, from old testament

Passion of the Christ (PBUH) mentions about Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) as Mentioned in the Bible !
