Muhammad in the Bible David Benjamin KeldaniEdited & Annotated by: Prof. Dawud M. R. Alhanbali & Prof, Dr. Kaseb A. Albadran ( 29 )IIslam is the kingdom of God on Earthn examination of thatmarvellous vision of the Prophet Daniel (Chap. vii.) we saw7 how Muhammad (pbuh) was escorted by the myriads of celestial beings and conducted to the glorious presence of the Eternal; how he heard the words of honour and affection which no creature had ever been favoured with (2 Cor. xii.); how he was crowned to the dignity of the Sultan of the Prophets and invested with power to destroy the “Fourth Beast” and the “Blasphemous Horn.” Further, we saw how he was authorized to establish and proclaim the Kingdom ofGod on earth; how allthat human genius can possibly imagine of the highest honour accorded by the Almighty to a beloved Servant and to His most worthy Apostle could be ascribed to Muhammad (pbuh) alone. It should be remembered that among all the Prophets and Messengers of Allah, Muhammad(pbuh) alone figureslike a tower above all; and the grand and noble work he accomplished stands a permanent monument of his honour and greatness. One cannot appreciate the value and importance of Islam as the unique bulwark against idolatry and polytheism unless the absolute unity of God is earnestly admitted.7 Vide Articles V and VI, which appeared in the Islamic Review for November and December 1928.
