Muhammad in Christianity
MUHUMMED (PBUH) : Is a true prophet of God according to the Bible
(a) ". . . Every spirit (meaning every prophet) that confesseth that
Jesus Christ is come in flesh is of God." 1 JOHN 4:2
Compare with Holy Qur'an 3:45 and many other Qur'anic references where Jesus (pbuh) is referred to as the CHRIST.
MUHUMMED (PBUH) MENTIONED BY NAME IN THE BIBLE:
(b) "His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is (Muhummed-im)
altogether lovely, this is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem." SONG OF SOLOMON 5:16
From the original Hebrew manuscript the word "MUHUMMEDIM", is translated as "altogether lovely" which is actually the word
MUHUMMED with "im" added. "IM" is the plural of respect in the
Hebrew language.
MUHUMMED A "COMFORTER" LIKE JESUS, PEACE BE UPON THEM
page 3
(c) "And I will pray the father, and he shall give you ANOTHER
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever." JOHN 14:16
Jesus (pbuh) was the first Comforter, and ANOTHER would have to
be one like him, of the same kind as Jesus, a man and not a Ghost
What is Prophecy?
Christian said: "You see, prophecies are word-pictures of something that is going to
happen in the future. When that thing actually comes to pass, we see vividly in these
prophecies the fulfillment of what had been predicted in the past. Muslim answer: What you
actually do is that you deduce, reason, you put two and two together. Christian said: "Yes."Muslim
said: "If this is what you have to do with a 'thousand' prophecies to justify your
claim with regards to the genuineness of Jesus, why should we not adopt the very
same system for Muhummed?"Christian agreed that it was a fair proposition, a
reasonable way of dealing with the problem.
muslim ask him to open up Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verse 18,
page 4
which he did. I read from
memory the verse in Afrikaans, because this was my purpose in having a little practice with
the language of the ruling race in South Africa.2
'N PROFEET SAL EK VIR HULLE VERWEK UIT DIE MIDDE VAN HULLE BROERS, SOOS JY IS,
EN EK SAL MY WOORDE IN SY MOND LE, EN HY SY SAL AAN HULLE SE ALLE WAT EK HOM
BEVEEL. Deut.18: 18.
The English translation reads as follows:-
"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."
Prophet Like Moses
Having recited the verse in Afrikaans, muslim apologised for my uncertain pronunciation, The
Christian assured muslim that I was doing fine. Muslims enquired: "To whom does this prophecy refer?"
Without the slightest hesitation he answered:"JESUS!"
Muslim asked: "Why Jesus?... his
name is not mentioned here." The Christian replied: "Since
page 5
prophecies are word-pictures
of something that is going to happen in the future, we find that the wordings of this verseadequately describe him. You see the most important words of this prophecy are 'SOOS JY
IS' (like unto thee), - LIKE YOU - like Moses, and Jesus is like Moses. Muslim questioned: "In
which way is Jesus like Moses?" The answer was: "In the first place Moses was a JEW and
Jesus was also a JEW; secondly, Moses was a PROPHET and Jesus was also a PROPHET -
therefore Jesus is like Moses and that is exactly what God had foretold Moses - "SOOS JY
IS". "Can you think of any other similarities between Moses and Jesus?" Muslim asked. The
Christian said that he could not think of any. I replied: "If these are the only two criteria for
discovering a candidate for this prophecy of Deuteronomy 18:18, then in that case the
criteria could fit any one of the following Biblical personages after Moses:- Solomon, Isaiah,
Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist etc., because they were also ALL
"Jews" as well as "Prophets". Why should we not apply this prophecy to any one of these
prophets, and why only to Jesus?
page 6
Why should we make fish of one and fowl of another?"
The Christians had no reply. Muslims continued: "You see, my conclusions are that Jesus is most
unlike Moses, and if muslim are wrong muslim would like you to correct us."
Three Unlikes
So saying, muslim reasoned with him:
"In the FIRST place Jesus is not like Moses, because, according to You - 'JESUS IS A GOD',
but Moses is not God. Is this true?" Christian said: "Yes." Muslims said: "Therefore, Jesus is not like
Moses!
"SECONDLY, according to You - 'JESUS DIED FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD', but Moses
did not have to die for the sins of the world. Is this true?" they again said: "Yes." Muslims said:
"Therefore Jesus is not like Moses!"
"THIRDLY, according to You - 'JESUS WENT TO HELL FOR THREE DAYS', but Moses did not
have to go there. Is this true?" Christians answered meekly: "Y-e-s." I concluded: "Therefore
Jesus is not like Moses!"
"But Christians ," we continued: "these are not hard

facts, solid facts, they are mere matters of
belief over which the little ones can stumble and fall. Let us discuss something very simple,
very easy that if your little ones are called in to hear the discussion, would have no difficulty
in following it, shall we?" The Christians was quiet happy at the suggestion.
chapter 2
Eight Irrefutable Arguments
Father and Mother
(1) "Moses had a father and a mother. Muhummed also had a father and a mother. But
Jesus had only a mother, and no human father. Is this true?" He said: "Yes." I said:
"DAAROM IS JESUS NIE SOOS MOSES NIE, MAAR MUHUMMED IS SOOS MOSES!" Meaning:
"Therefore Jesus is not like Moses, but Muhummed is like Moses!" (By now the
reader will realise that I was using the Afrikaans language only for practice purposes. I shall
discontinue its use in this narration).
Miraculous Birth
(2) "Moses and Muhummed were born in the normal, natural course, i.e. the physical
association of man and woman; but Jesus was created by a special miracle. You will recall
that we are told in the Gospel of St. Matthew 1:18 ".....BEFORE THEY CAME
TOGETHER,(Joseph the Carpenter and Mary) SHE WAS FOUND WITH CHILD BY THE
HOLY GHOST." And St. Luke tells us that when the good news of the birth of a holy son
was announced to her, Mary reasoned: "...HOW SHALL THIS BE, SEEING I KNOW NOT
A MAN? AND THE ANGEL ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HER, THE HOLY GHOST
SHALL COME UPON THEE, AND THE POWER OF THE HIGHEST SHALL OVERSHADOW
THEE..." (Luke 1:35). The Holy Qur'ân confirms the miraculous birth of Jesus, in nobler and
sublimer terms. In answer to her logical question:
" O MY LORD! HOW SHALL I HAVE A SON WHEN NO MAN HATH TOUCHED ME? "
The angel says in reply: "EVEN SO: ALLAH CREATETH WHAT HE WILLETH:
WHEN HE HATH DECREED A PLAN, HE BUT SAITH TO IT "BE,"
AND IT IS "
1
(HOLY QUR'AN, 3:47).
It is not necessary for God to plant a seed in man or animal. He merely wills it and it comes
into being. This is the Muslim conception of the of birth of Jesus. (When I compared the
Qur'ân and the Biblical versions of the birth of Jesus to the head of the Bible Society in our
largest City, and when I enquired: "Which version would you prefer to give your daughter,
the QUR'ANIC version or the BIBLICAL version?" The man bowed his head and answered:
"The Qur'ânic.") In short, I said to the dominee: "Is it true that Jesus was born miraculously
as against the natural birth of Moses and Muhummed?" He replied proudly: "Yes!" I said:
"Therefore Jesus is not like Moses, but Muhummed is like Moses. And God says to
Moses in the Book of Deuteronomy 18:18 "LIKE UNTO THEE" (Like You, Like Moses) and
Muhummed is like Moses."
1. Please open the Holy Qur'ân 3:42 and 19:16 where the birth of Jesus is spoken about;
read it with the commentary, note the high position which Jesus and his mother occupy in
Islam.
Marriage Ties
(3) "Moses and Muhummed married and begat children, but Jesus remained a bachelor all
his life. Is this true?" The dominee said: "Yes." I said: "Therefore Jesus is not like
Moses, but Muhummed is like Moses."
Jesus Rejected by his People
(4) "Moses and Muhummed were accepted as prophets by their people in their very lifetime.
No doubt the Jews gave endless trouble to Moses and they murmured in the wilderness, but
as a nation, they acknowledged that Moses was a Messenger of God sent to them. The
Arabs too made Muhummed's life impossible. He suffered very badly at their hands. After 13
years of preaching in Mecca, he had to emigrate from the city of his birth. But before his
demise, the Arab nation as a whole accepted him as the Messenger of Allah. But according
to the Bible: 'He (Jesus) CAME UNTO HIS OWN, BUT HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT.'
(John 1:11). And even today, after two thousand years, his people- the Jews, as a
whole, have rejected him. Is this true?" The dominee said: "Yes." I said: "THEREFORE
JESUS IS NOT LIKE MOSES, BUT MUHUMMED IS LIKE MOSES
"Other-Wordly" Kingdom
(5) "Moses and Muhummed were prophets as well as kings. A prophet means a man who
receives Divine Revelation for the Guidance of Man and this Guidance he conveys to God's
creatures as received without any addition or deletion. A king is a person who has the powerof life and death over his people. It is immaterial whether the person wears a crown or not,
or whether he was ever addressed as king or monarch: if the man has the prerogative of
inflicting capital punishment - HE IS A KING. Moses possessed such a power. Do you
remember the Israelite who was found picking up firewood on Sabbath Day, and Moses had
him stoned to death? (Numbers- 15:13). There are other crimes also mentioned in the Bible
for which capital punishment was inflicted on the Jews at the behest of Moses. Muhummed
too, had the power of life and death over his people.
There are instances in the Bible of persons who were given gift of prophecy only, but they
were not in a position to implement their directives. Some of these holy men of God who
were helpless in the face of stubborn rejection of their message, were the prophets lot,
Jonah, Daniel, Ezra, and John the Baptist. They could only deliver the message, but could
not enforce the Law. The Holy Prophet Jesus (Peace p.b.u.h) also belonged to this category.
The Christian Gospel clearly confirms this: when Jesus was dragged before the Roman
Governor, Pontius Pilate, Charged for sedition, Jesus made a convincing point in his defence
to refute the false charge: JESUS ANSWERED, "MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD':
IF MY KINGDOM WERE OF THIS WORLD, THEN WOULD MY SERVANTS FIGHT, THAT I
SHOULD NOT BE DELIVERED TO THE JEWS; BUT NOW IS MY KINGDOM NOT FROM HENCE"
(John 18:36) This convinced Pilate (A Pagan) that though Jesus might not be in full
possession of his mental faculty, he did not strike him as being a danger to his rule. Jesus
claimed a spiritual Kingdom only; in other words he only claimed to be a Prophet. Is this
true?" The dominee answered: "Yes." I said: "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but
Muhummed is like Moses."
No New Laws
(6) "Moses and Muhummed brought new laws and new regulations for their people. Moses
not only gave the Ten Commandments to the Israelites, but a very comprehensive
ceremonial law for the guidance of his people. Muhummed comes to a people steeped in
barbarism and ignorance. They married their step-mothers; they buried their daughters
alive; drunkenness, adultery, idolatry, and gambling were the order of the day. Gibbon
describe the Arabs before Islam in his "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire", THE
HUMAN BRUTE, ALMOST WITHOUT SENSE, IS POORLY DISTINGUISHED FROM THE REST OF
THE ANIMAL CREATION.' There was hardly anything to distinguish between the "man" and
the "animal" of the time; they were animals in human form.
"From this abject barbarism, Muhummed elevated them, in the words of Thomas Carlysle,
"into torch-bearers of light and learning.' 'TO THE ARAB NATION IT WAS AS A
BIRTH FROM DARKNESS INTO LIGHT. ARABIA FIRST BECAME ALIVE BY MEANS OF
IT. A POOR SHEPHERD PEOPLE, ROAMING UNNOTICED IN ITS DESERTS SINCE THE
CREATION OF THE WORLD. SEE, THE UNNOTICED BECOMES WORLD NOTABLE, THE
SMALL HAS GROWN WORLD-GREAT. WITHIN ONE CENTURY AFTERWARDS ARABIA
WAS AT GRANADA ON ONE HAND AND AT DELHI ON THE OTHER. GLANCING IN
VALOUR AND SPLENDOUR, AND THE LIGHT OF GENIUS, ARABIA SHINES OVER A
GREAT SECTION OF THE WORLD. ..." The fact is that Muhummed gave his people a Law
and Order they never had before.
As regards Jesus, when the Jews felt suspicious of him that he might be an impostor with
designs to pervert their teachings, Jesus took pains to assure them that he had not come
with a new religion - no new laws and no new regulations. I quote his own words:
'THINK NOT THAT I AM COME TO DESTROY THE LAW, OR THE PROPHETS: I AM
NOT COME TO DESTROY, BUT TO FULFIL. FOR VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, TILL
HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS, ONE JOT OR ONE TITLE SHALL IN NO WISE PASS FROM
THE LAW, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED.'(Mathew 5:17-18). In other words he had not come
with any new laws or regulation he came only to fulfil the old law. This what he gave the
