Muhammad in the Bible David Benjamin KeldaniEdited & Annotated by: Prof. Dawud M. R. Alhanbali & Prof, Dr. Kaseb A. Albadran ( 27 )ther a warrior nor a legislator; but it was after he assumed the prophetical mission that he became the most eloquent speaker and the best valiant Arab. He fought with the infidels with sword in hand, notfor his own personal interest, butfor the glory of Allah and for the cause of His religion – Al Islam. He was shown by God the keys of the treasures of the earth, but he did not accept them, and when he died, he was practically a poor man. No other servant of God, whether a king or a prophet, hasrendered such an admirably great and precious service to God and to man as Muhammad (pbuh) has done: to God in eradicating the idolatry from a large part of the globe, and to man by having given the most perfect religion and the best laws for his guidance and security. He seized the sceptre and the law from the Jews; fortified the former and perfected the latter. If Muhammad (pbuh) were permitted to reappear today in Makkah or Madinah, he would be met by the Muslims with the same affection and “obedience” as he saw there during his earthly life. Moreover, he would see with a deep sense of pleasure thatthe Holy Book he had left isthe same withoutthe least alteration in it, 6 and thatitis chanted and recited exactly as he and his companions did. He would be glad to congratulate them on their fidelity to the religion and to the unity of Allah, and to the factthat they have not made of him a god or son of a god.How to distinguish a genuine prophetfrom a false prophet. Jeremiah hassupplied us with a satisfactory answer, namely: “The Prophet(pbuh) Who PreachesIslam”6 Qurán,15:9. We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption). (Editors).
