  2. وَهَذَا الْبَلَدِ الْأَمِينِ وَطُورِ سِينِينَ وَالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ The Holy Qur’an (95:1-3) 1. By the Fig and the Olive 2. By Mount Sinai 3. By This City of Security 3 Locations - referring to 3 Revelations - sent to 3 Different Prophets of God #1 - The gospel given to Jesus Christ #2 - The torah given to Moses #3 - The Qur'ân given to Muhammad

  3. The Prophet from Pârân And he (Moses) said, The Lord came from Sinai, The Bible Deuteronomy 33:2 And rose up from Seir unto them; He shined forth from MountParan, And he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery Law for them. Mount *Sinai=Torah of Moses Valley of *Seir = A Mountain in Palestine near the village of Bethlehem. Mount *Paran = Place or location where God’s Light (i.e. His Revelation) will come again to the World. God’s (new) “Fiery Law” will be established “for them” (i.e. the people in Paran) when “He” - comes with 10,000 saints-[“Holy Ones” RSV] Two Events: (2nd)-The Conquering of that city (1st)-Location of the first Revelation

  4. Valley of Paran or( ) –“Faran” in Meca פָּארָן

  5. His Name & Matchless Characteristics: MUHAMMAD حبيب الله– The Beloved of God – מַחֲמַדּ Muhammad in the bible

  6. The Bible’s Song of Songs "The whole word is not worth the day on which the Song of Songs was given to Israel; for all the writings are Holy, but the Song of Songs is the Holiest of the Holy." [Rabbi Akiva (died CE 135), Tractate of Yaddayim (3:5), Mishna] (10) My beloved is dazzling yet ruddy. He stands out among 10,000 men.[NASB] … the most chief among ten thousand. [American KJV] (11) His head is as the finest gold: his locks as branches of palm trees, black as a raven. [Douay-Rheims Bible] Song of Songs Chapter 5: Verse (10-16) (12) … His eyes are like doves beside the water-brooks, Washed with milk, and fitly set. (13) His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as banks of sweet herbs: his lips are as lilies, dropping liquid myrrh. [ERV] (14) His hands are as rings of gold set with beryl: His body is as ivory work overlaid with sapphires. [ASV] (15) His legs are pillars of alabaster set on pedestals of pure gold; His appearance is like Lebanon Choice as the cedars. [NASB] (16) His speech is most sweet, and he is Altogether Desirable - מַחֲמַדִּים. This is my beloved and this is my friend O daughters of Jerusalem. [RSV]

  7. The Hebrew Bible “Hikko mamtakeem, v'hulo Mahammadim, ze Dodee v'ze ra‘ee, bano Yarushalaym" Shir Hashirim - Song of Songs Chapter 5, Verse 16 Hebrew Transliteration Hebrew Text • *Mahammadim- The “m” in Hebrew linguistically indicates plural of respect and royalty. Its addition to a word expresses Nobility and Grandeur. Such as: “Alahim”- God. So Mahammadim means: • [Mahammad the Great or Noble] • *Dodee – translated as ‘beloved’, but in Hebrew it actually means Paternal Uncle- (father’s brother); translated as such at least five times in Bible in other places. Therefore ‘Dodee’ means: • [He is of Israel’s (Jacob’s) paternal uncle]

  8. The Hebrew Bible greatness & nobility im= The BiBle’s Song of SoNgS (5:16) • Corrected translation of verse 16: “His mouth is Most sweet:And he isמַחֲמַדִּ– Mahammad!(the Great & Noble)He is of our paternal uncle (Ishmael), And this is My Beloved, Oh daughters of Jerusalem."

  9. The Jews were awaiting a special Prophet OTHER THAN JESUS! The Bible (John 1:19-21) NIV Now this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Christ (i.e. the Messiah).” They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you ELIJAH?” He said, “I am Not.” “Are you THE PROPHET?” He answered, “No.” 1. The Messiah 2. Elijah 3. The Prophet

And whoever will not give heed to My words which he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him.”

(2nd) (8th) (9th) *Kedar – descendants from Paran ) Quraish ^ (KADAR THE MECCAN) (Medina) Adnan *Tema – settled in Yathrib Muhammad ^John <Jesus

  19. His People – His Tribe Quraish=the modern name for the tribe of Kadar Muhammad in the bible

  20. Christian Scholars John D. Davis’ A Dictionary of the Bible specifies Kedaras: “A tribe descended form Ishmael…possessing flocks and camels… They were an Arabian tribe… The people of Kedar were Pliny’s Cedrai, and from their tribe Mohammed ultimately arose.” Kedar

  21. Bible Terminology • Kadar= is the 2nd son of Ishmael. In Arab Genealogy they are known as the premier Ishmaelite tribe of Mecca & the original tribal name of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). They are one of many Gentile (non-Israelite) tribes mentioned the Scripture of the Jews. • Quraish = is the adopted tribal name of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), as the tribe came to be referred, name after the Kadari descendant Quraish (Fihr), which became the tribal head a few generations before the time of the Prophet. • Gentiles= Non-Jews, biblically understood to be from other than the descendants of Jacob (the Children of Israel) They in include all Ishmaelite Arab tribes such as Kadar.

Call the word to the Light GOD IS GREAT! …I (God) will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for theGentiles. …new things I (God) declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you. Sing to the Lord a new song… Let the desert and its towns raise their voices; the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them shout from the mountaintops. THE BIBLE (Isaiah 42:6-11) NIV

And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed…” (Isaiah 61:8-9) [KJV] “…And I (God) will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring My Salvation to the ends of the earth.” (Isaiah 49:6) [NIV]

[Isaiah 60:3-7 KJV] Behold my servant, whom I uphold; My Chosen One, in whom I delight; I will put My Spirit (i.e. Gabriel) upon him. He shall bring forth judgment tothe Gentiles.He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. He will not fail or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law. (Isaiah 42:1-4) (1) [KJV/NIV] (2) [NIV] (4) [RSV]

They believed that this was the oasis that the Prophet would migrate to. Muhammad in the bible These tribes are descendants of‘Yathribi’– the descendant of‘Tema’ – the son of Ishmael

  28. Salama bin Salam bin Waqsh – Said: “We had a Jewish neighbor from the family of Banu Abdul Ash-hal; and he came out of his house one day to us. At that time I was the youngest of my household. I was lying in the courtyard of my family’s house. The Jew talked about the Resurrection, the Reckoning, the Scales, Paradise and Hellfire. This he told to Idolaters who did not believe in any life after death. They replied, ‘Come on now! You really think people can be sent after their death to some place where there is a paradise and a fire where they will be punished for their deeds.’ ‘Yes indeed!’ he replied. ‘And by Him by whom oaths are sworn, Anyone going into that fire would prefer being placed in the hottest oven in the house and having it covered over him, and he being let out of it only the next day’ Then they said, ‘Good Gracious! But what proof is there? He (the Jewish man) then said, ‘A Prophet is being sent from the hereabouts in these lands(and he gestured to the south - over towards Mecca and Yemen). ‘When will we see him’ they inquired. He looked over at me, being the youngest one there, and said: ‘If this lad lives a normal lifespan – he will live lit this time’. Salama said, “And a Day and a Night had scarcely passed thereafter until God sent His Messenger who lived among us, and so we believed in him, but he, (the Jew) disbelieved in him out of evil and envy.’ • In disputes the Jews would threaten the Arabs with a Prophet who would soon come to Medina to destroy them • A Jewish neighbor’s Forewarningof that Prophet’s Arrival in Medina • Abdullah ben Salâm(Chief Rabi of the Jews)
