Twenty-Eight Proofs from the Bibleof Muhammad's ProphethoodThe Clear Religion Series - Part 5Excerpted from Who Deserves to Be WorshippedINTRODUCTIONvery individual is born into a religious environment that is notnecessarily in accordance with his or her choice; children areraised to follow the religion or ideology of their family, society, orculture. Even as new-born babies, they are assigned either the religionof their family or the ideology of the state; in some countries, thechild's assigned religion is even recorded on the birth certificate. Bythe time individuals reach their teens, they have usually accepted thebeliefs of their parents or their particular society. Since these beliefshave come to feel normal to them, they may give no thought toexamining and possibly changing them.However, individuals often encounter, or are exposed to, variousbeliefs and ideologies throughout the course of their lives, leadingmany to question long-held beliefs, traditions, or philosophical ideas.They begin to question the validity of their own beliefs. Seekers oftruth often reach a point of confusion, especially upon realizing thatthe believers of every religion, sect, ideology, and philosophy claim toprofess the one and only truth.Amongst these beliefs is the one which Christians hold againstMuhammad (bpuh), the Prophet of Islam, that he is not a trueMessenger of God (Allah, the Exalted).Simply and logically, this book sheds light on biblical proofs thatMuhammad (bpuh) is a true prophet of Allah, whose prophethood wasforetold by the prophet who preceded him: Jesus (pbuh).Before we proceed, here is a reminder that when beginning thesearch for the true religion, one should keep in mind the followingfour things:Firstly, Allah has given us the ability and the intellect to discoverthe answer to this crucial question, which is also a life-changingdecision: What is the true religion?

The Messenger of God, Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the bestand most important Quraish by lineage. He is Muhammad bin Abdullah binAbdul Mutalib. His family is known as the Hashemite family abouthis grandfather Hashem bin Abd Manaf.He was born an orphan. His father Abdullah died when he was in hismother's womb, and his mother, Mrs. Aamina, died when he was six yearsold, so he lived with his grandfather Abd al-Muttalib (the master ofthe people of Mecca) and then with his uncle Abu Talib.The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace,lived among his people, with a good reputation and eloquence inremembrance. He is famous for his honesty and trust. The Quraish entrustedhim for their needs, and thus he was called the truthful and the trustworthy.He, peace be upon him, lived for forty full years (until the revelationcame to him) among a people immersed in ignorance and engrossed inmisguidance, so their infection did not move to him, and their affliction didnot afflict him.He grew up, since his youth, moving away from idolatry, avoidingbeing close to it, and abstaining from amusement parks. When he becameyoung, he loved the seclusion and worshiping for several nights. Then hewould return home and stock up for the same.The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, began to receivethe revelation at the age of forty years and died at the age of 63, that isthe duration of his message was only 23 years,That period is equivalent to the reign of many presidents andprinces, but he could uproot the roots of associating partners with Allah,idolatry, and worship other than Allah. Also, he instilled belief and faith inhearts and established Almighty Allah's worship alone without associatinganyone with Him and uprooting all corrupt habits from the Arabian island tobe a witness to Allah's support for him, his call his message.

There are well-established public andprivate rights in the Islamic society. In thesection below we will highlight the mostimportant public and private rights in theIslamic law and teachings:RIGHTSAND OBLIGATIONSIN ISLAM01 Rights of Almighty God02 Rights of the Prophet Muhammad ¿¿¿¿03 Rights of other Prophets and Messengers04 Rights of Parents05 Rights of Husband towards His Wife06 Rights of Wife towards Her Husband07 Rights of Children08 Rights of RelativesThe essential right of man towards God isto worship Him alone, setting up no rivalsor partners with Him, nor attributing anysons or daughters to Him. The eternal truthof all existence is that LA ILAHA ILLAALLAH:"there is nothing worthy of beingworshipped except God," meaning thatthere is no so-called "god", deity, or entityworthy of worship and absolute obedienceexcept for the One Creator. This is thetestimony of faith of a Muslim that involvesthe following requirements:1. God alone deserves to be worshipedand obeyed in an absolute sense. Nonehas the right to be worshiped alongwith or besides Him. All statements,acts and hidden intentions must agreewith what the Almighty has designated.All actions of man must be performedfor the Pleasure of the Almighty. 2. A Muslim is required to believe in theNames and Attributes that God hasgiven Himself, or those attributed to Himthrough revelation by His Prophet andMessenger ¿¿¿¿. No one may attribute anyname or quality to God by speculationthat neither God nor His Prophet andMessenger have attributed to Him. Hemust not offer any undue explanation,similitude thereof, or express an opinionconcerning these Names and Attributesof God. God the Exalted says in the"There is nothing like unto Him, and He isthe All-Hearer, the All-Seer." [42:11]3. Man must submit himself to God,in faith with total and sincere belief,declaring with his tongue, acceptingwith his heart and showing with hisactions the truth of the statement that"So know, [O Muhammad], that there isno deity except Allah and ask forgivenessfor your sin and for the believing men andbelieving women. And Allah knows of yourmovement and your resting place." [47:19]4. Human beings are obligated to givefull and total submission to the Will ofGod. This is based on the instructionis not for a believing man or a believingwoman, when Allah and His Messengerhave decided a matter, that they should[thereafter] have any choice about theiraffair. And whoever disobeys Allah andHis Messenger has certainly strayedinto clear error." [33:36]

Everyone has right and everyone has virtue.Each of the spouses has a right over the other, as well as eachof them has matters of virtue with regard to the other, which isevident in the verses of Quran and Hadith that talked aboutthe rights of the husband and wife, one of (these verses) is:His Almighty's saying: { ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿ } "And dueto them [i.e., the wives] is similar to what is expected of them,according to what is reasonable". It means: They (husbands)should fear Allah towards them (wives) just as it is obligatoryfor them (wives) to fear Allah towards them (husbands). Ibn'Abbas said: I adorn myself for my wife as she adorns herselffor me, because Allah says: { ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ } "Anddue to them [i.e., the wives] is similar to what is expected ofthem, according to what is reasonable".1 Each spouse hasrights over the other, so each of them should fulfil other'sright.The wife should fulfil the rights of her husband by obeyinghim and protecting his home and money. Describing thegreatness of the husband's right, the prophet -Peace andblessings of Allah be upon him- said: ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ) "If I were to order anyone toprostrate himself before another, I would have ordered awoman to prostrate herself before her husband".2And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)said to a woman: ( ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿ ¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿ ¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ : ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ( ¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ) ¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ . ¿¿¿ : ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿) "Do you have a husband?" She said, "Yes." Hesaid: "How are you with him?" She said, "I do not neglect any1 Al-Mughni (10/220), Editted by Dr. Al-Turki, a,d Al-Hulw. Published by Dar Alamil Kutub.2 Transmitted by Al-Tirmidhi (1159) and others.of his rights except those I am unable to fulfil." He said:"Look at how you are with him, for he is your paradise andyour hell".1 And he ordered the husband to act kindly towardwomen, as he said: ( ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ) "act kindly towardswomen".2 And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah beupon him) said in his last sermon: ( ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ) "Show fear towardsAllah regarding women, for you have got them under Allah'ssecurity, and have the right to intercourse with them byAllah's word."3The husband is required to cajole his wife and win her heart,and to be patient on errors made by her - as long as it's notdetrimental to the right of Allah or his right - and the wife isrequired to be kind and obedient so long as that does not entaildisobedience towards Allah. With this and that the marital lifeis straightened and family gets happy.

All Prophets and Messengers were sentwith one Message. God says:"Or have they taken gods besides Him?Say, [O Muhammad to them], 'Produceyour proof. This [Qur'an] is the messagefor those with me and the message ofTHE GREATPROPHETSOF GODthose before me.' But most of them donot know the truth, so they are turningaway. And We sent not before you anymessenger except that We revealed tohim that, 'There is no deity except Me,so worship Me.'" (Qur'an 21:24-25)The belief in the Oneness of God wasthe central message delivered by allProphets and Messengers to theirrespective peoples. God, the Exalted,says:"He has ordained for you of religionwhat He enjoined upon Noah and thatwhich We have revealed to you, [OMuhammad], and what We enjoinedupon Abraham and Moses and Jesus -to establish the religion and not bedivided therein. Difficult for those whoassociate others with Allah is that towhich you invite them. Allah chooses forHimself whom He wills and guides toHimself whoever turns back [to Him]."(Qur'an 42:13)

Games that try to distort Islaam and MuslimsPhilip Taylor, professor of modern history at Leeds University, wrote in his important book, 'Munitions of the Mind,' wherein he speaks about propaganda during war, or during wartime media: "If war is essentially an organized communication of violence, propaganda and psychological warfare are essentially organized processes of persuasion. In wartime they attack a part of the body that other weapons cannot reach in an attempt to affect the way in which participants perform on the field of battle."Effects of the contents of games onbeliefs and moral Allaah the Exalted has made the religion of Islaam a complete religion from all angles. He the Exalted made its rulings overpower all aspects of life. There is no situation in life or any statement or action that does not have a religious ruling associated with itMany of these games contain - either intentionally or not - aspects that corrupt the monotheism of our children, as well as the purity of their beliefs. It causes them to have beliefs that contradict Tawheed (monotheism) totally. These games, even if they are not the majority, chip away at the most important thing a person possesses, which is, their creed

Islam vehemently has denounced andcondemned the following acts and strictlyprohibited their practice. This is topromote peace and security in thesociety, and to eradicate or curtailwrath, hatred, greed, and resentmentwhich are the root causes of conflicts andviolence.POLYTHEISM ANDIDOLATRYPolytheism and idolatry inevitably causeconflict as people compete and vie forrecognition, status, dominance and tributefor their idols and associated ideologiesand mythologies. If all people worshippedthe one and only God, then the greatestroot of violence would be eradicated.4Allah said:"And ask those We sent before you of Ourmessengers; have We made besides the MostMerciful deities to be worshipped?" (43:45)Allah, the Most Glorious, said:"And We did not send a messenger beforeyou, except that We revealed to him thatthere is no god worthy of worship exceptMe, so worship Me." (21:25)Allah, the Most Almighty and Majestic,said:"And verily, We have sent among everycommunity a Messenger proclaiming, 'WorshipAllah (alone), and avoid all false gods.'" (16:36)502 SORCERY.This prohibition is based on the numerousevidences like the saying of Allah:"But neither of these two taught anyone[sorcery] till they had said, 'Truly, we are a trial,so do not disbelieve.'" (2:102)And in the hadith of Allah's Messenger ¿¿¿¿:"Avoid the seven destructive sins." Peopleinquired, "O Prophet of Allah! What arethese destructive sins?" He said, "They are:associating others in the worship of Allah,sorcery, killing an innocent soul without anylegitimate reason, dealing with usury,the battlefield, falsely accusing innocentfemale believers with fornication, adultery,or moral corruption." (Bukhari & Muslim)

In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the CompassionatePraise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon thenoblest messenger, Prophet Muhammad, and upon his familyand companions and those who follow them in goodness untilthe Day of Judgment.Literature in the field of scientific miracles in the Qur'anand Sunnah (I'jaaz literature) has become an urgent necessity,as Allah Almighty has commanded us to address the people ina language they understand. Without doubt, developments inmodern science have left undeniable traces on the human intellect.Science has imposed itself on the daily language of communicationacross the globe. As scientific I'jaaz in the Qur'anand Sunnah is a strong and effective means of Da'wah and anoutstanding method for conveying the religion of Allah in thisera, it has become an important matter worthy of study andresearch.¿¿¿¿ Scientific Miracles in the Qur'an & SunnahHistory & GuidelinesHowever, literature in the field of scientific miracles in theQur'an and Sunnah should be subject to certain guidelines thatsafeguard it from the evils of intruders and frauds and fromthose who follow desires and are ignorant and overzealous inthe physical interpretation of the texts of the Qur'an and Sunnahorare deluded by the logic and theoretical views of the unbelievers,views that do not amount to certain facts. Light mustbe shed on the path ahead of sincere researchers so that theQur'an and Sunnah do not fall subject to scientific Tafseer. Andthe sciences should also not be used to arbitrate meanings tothe texts that are outside of the semantic scope of the texts.Rather, if the texts are in agreement with a confirmed scientificfact, we would bring to light how the miracle was deduced.
