Muhammad(pbuh) in the Bible

As I have not read the Bible nor done a comparative study,I wonder what the Bible says about Muhammad.

I believe that the original Armeniac(hope that is the right spelling) Bible will have some mention of our Prophet (pbuh)
I was wondering about the Bibles available today.

I have read different articles regarding this and I found that it seems that there is a verse in Isaiah about a book being revealed to an unlettered person and is asked to read when it is replied that he is not learned.

This seems to match with the description of Muhammad(pbuh) because he was unlettered and he was asked to recite,but replies that he is unlettered.

Could someone give reference for this, or am I wrong.

Thank you.

This site would agree with you that Muhammad was mentioned in the Old Testament -
Old-Testament describes Him

This site would not agree - Are There Predictions of Muhammad in the Old Testament?

For myself, that was never in any of my religious upbringing, no matter which denomination I belonged to. I do not mean to offend you in any way, but I cannot see it.

Comments on this post
BABRAM agrees: Neither site was from a Jewish view. #1 site: I read the JPS and the person who claimed those verses to be Muhammed is a shvindel. A fraud that didn't read context nor understand. #2 site: A Christian rendering of the verse, again not Muhammed.

Thanks shy,
Personal opinion is personal opinion, no offense taken

As I said it could be that the original book mentioned him (pbuh),but in present Bibles it might not be there.
Most of the articles I read were referring to a Hebrew Bible.

I think the language you are looking for is Aramaic. only a very few portions of the Bible were written in Aramaic. Most was written in Hebrew(Old Testament) or Greek (New Testament). The Bible does not mention Muhammad. The Verse you reffered to is Isaiah 29:11-12.

Comments on this post
firmbeliever agrees: Aramaic it is..thanks for correcting that...

I have never had the privilege of learning from a Hebrew Bible. Now if someone who is Jewish and versed in the Old Testament would come and answer this, I would gladly listen.

Shy,
Thanks for your input though.

I too am hoping someone with knowledge of Hebrew could provide some insight.

I do not ask because I am in doubt,but it has been mentioned in the Quran that the previous scriptures has the glad tidings of our Prophet(pbuh).
And as I know there quite a few on this site well versed in the old scriptures, why not get some insight into this topic.

I'm sure if you're determined, you can find something somewhere in the Bible that you can interpret as a prophecy about Muhammad. My question is, why would you bother?

Why is it necessary to write (pbuh) after every mention of the Prophet? Is it some kind of rule or something? And I notice you have another thing you write after every mention of Jesus. What's up with that?

Are you kidding me?! I have never read anything in the Torah specifically positive concerning Muhammed. Not one single parashah in all the Shabbos ever! There are scriptures warning against false prophets in general though.

Since this is the Christianity board the following link is from the Christian's perspective:


Muhammad's False Prophecies

well as what i know Muhammad is the last sent prophet accrdg to Islam faith. his d next one to Jesus. its true he is unlettered, thats y God sent an angel to him to whisper what GOd msg to everybody. In christian faith Muhammad doesnt exist bcoz they cut their history on Jesus alone. But to the Quran, the history stil continue on muhammad the last prophet.. Jesus to Islam faith is just a prophet, his name is Prohet Isah. they respect him same as Muhammad.. no offense mean.
