Muhammad in the Bible David Benjamin KeldaniEdited & Annotated by: Prof. Dawud M. R. Alhanbali & Prof, Dr. Kaseb A. Albadran ( 71 )ing Jews: They did not really kill him; but God took him up unto Himself” (Quran, 4:157-158)17.d) “The last but not the least mark of the Periqlyte is that he will not speak anything of himself, but whatsoever he hears that will he speak, and he will show you the future things” (John xv. 13). There is not one iota, not a single word or comment of Muhammad (pbuh)or of his devoted and holy companions in the text of the glorious Quran. All its contents are the revealed Word of Allah. Muhammad (pbuh) uttered, pronounced the Word of God as he heard it read to him by the Angel Gabriel, and was reduced to writing by the faithful scribes. The words, sayings, and teachings of the Prophet, though sacred and edifying, are notthe Word of God, and they are called Ahādith or Traditions. Is he not, then, even in this description, the true Periqlyte? Can you show us another person, besides Ahmad (pbuh), to possess in himself all these material, moral, and practical qualities, marks, and distinctions of Periqlyte? You cannot. I think I have said enough of the Periqlyte and shall conclude with a sacred verse from the Quran: “I follow no other than whatis revealed unto me; nor am I more than a Public Warner” (x1vi.).17 Qurán, 4:157. That they said (in boast), “We killed Christ, Jesus the son of Mary, theMessenger of Allah; but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made toappear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain)knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not, Qurán4:158. Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.(Editors).
