MUHAMMAD IN THE BIBLE By Prof. Davin Beljamin Keldani
الَذَِّينَ يتَّبِعُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلَ النَّبِيَِّ الأمُِّيَّ الَّذِيْ يَجِدُوْنَهُ مَكْتُوْبا ً عِنْدَھُمِ فِي التَّ ِوراة وَالانِجِيْلِ يَأمُْرُھُم بِالْمَعْرُ ِوف وَيَنھاھُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُ ِحلُّ لھَُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْھِمُ الْخَبَائثَِ وَيَضَعُ عَنْھُمْ اِصْرَھُمْ وَالَأغْلَالَ الَّتَّيِْ كَانَتْ عَلَيْھِمْ فالََّذِيْنَ آمَنُوْا بِهِ وَعَزَّرُوْهُ وَنَصَرُوْهُ واتَّ بَعُوا النُّوْرَ الذَِّيْ أنُْزِلَ مَعَ هُ أولئكَِ ھُمُ الْمُفْلحُِوْنَ } (الأعراف . الآية ١٥٧).
"Those who follow the apostle, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure);
He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him, it is they who will prosper.(Qur-án,:7:157).
