MESSENGER OF GOD OR HIS PROPHET?Verse 158

PROOFS OF PROPHET HOOD

      Five proofs are mentioned in this verse in order to prove Mohammad's prophet hood, and his office as a Messenger of God. These are as follows.

      1- A man unlettered, who knew no reading or writing; who was grown and brought up among a people of utmost ignorance, and in a Pagan Era, destitute of any knowledge, has brought a Book for Mankind, and has challenged the world to produce a book or even a chapter the like of it; and no one has been able to answer the challenge, and produce a Book like Mohammad's Quran throughout the past fifteen centuries!:

      ``Say: If the whole of mankind and Jinns, were to gather together to produce the like of this QURAN, they can't produce the like of it, even if they back up each other with help and support.'' QURAN S 17: 88

      2- Prophecies about him will be found in Towrجt and Gospel.

      As an instance, we read in the Bible which is accepted by the Jews, in the BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY 18: 14:

      ``Then Moses said: `In the land you are about to occupy; people follow the advice of those who practice divination, and look for the Omens; but Lord your God does not allow you to do this. Instead, He will send to you a prophet like me from among your own people and you are to obey him.''

      The Lord on the Mount said to me:

      ``I will send them a prophet like you from among their own people. I will tell him what to say, and he will tell the people everything I command. He will speak in my name and I will punish any one who refuses to obey him.''

      The only prophet who brought a Law like that of Moses, was Mohammad; and he of surety came of the house of Ishmael, the brother to Isaac, the father of Israel.

      So also in the reflex of the canonical Gospel as now accepted by the Christians, Jesus Christ has frequently promised of a comforter or helper; instances of which we cite below: THE BOOK OF JOHN 14: 26

      ``I have told you this, while I am still with you. The Helper (HOLY SPIRIT) whom the father will send in my name will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you.''   JOHN 15: 26

      ``The Helper will come - the spirit who reveals the truth about God, and who comes from the father. I will send him to you and he will speak about me.''

JOHN 16: 7-15

``It is better for you that I go away because if I do not go, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go away, I will send him to you.''

      When he comes, he will prove to the people of the world, that they are wrong about sin, because they do not believe in me. They are wrong about what is right, because I am going to the father and you will not see me any more.

      I have much more to tell you, but now it would be too much for you to bear. When however the spirit comes who reveals the truth about God, he will lead you into all truth.

      He will not speak of his own authority, but he will speak of what he hears, and will tell you of things to come. He will give me glory because he will take what I say and tell it to you.''

      The Greek word, `PARACLET' which Christians interpret it to, `HELPER' or, `HOLY SPIRIT' is by Moslim translators taken to be, `PERICLYTE' which is the Greek form ofAHMAD, our prophet's name.

      3- The contents of Mohammad's Message is indeed reasonable, because he enjoins good things and prohibits foul and evil things.

      4- Had he not been sent and supported by God, it would be better for him and for his throne of authority, to keep the people under their chains and burdens; and ever to add some loads over that of theirs, and not to relieve them and give them a freedom to support their free will.

      He opened the fetters of ignorance, by giving them knowledge and wisdom, and by teaching them how to know better, and how to think.

      He broke the shackles of superstitions, by replacing idolatries and false gods, with the Truth, and the only one God, by enforcing Monotheism.

      He threw away the chains of class distinctions, and race glorification, by religious Brotherhood.

      5- The contents of his religion is agreeable with the nature of mankind and compatible with man's instinct and natural aptitude.
