It is not befitting us Muslims to believe that the Prophet at the hands of whom God revealed the concluding message of Islam that acknowledges all the Prophets who were sent with the early messages of Monotheism, is not really foretold or the least mentioned in the Torah and Jesus Bible, themselves revealed by Almighty…
In this episode I shall attempt to draw more similarities and touch on two main and indeed major aspects of the prophecy which make Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) the right candidate perfectly fitting into the Bible’s prophecy of the concluding Prophet. Assalamu alikum Brothers and Sisters, In the previous episode of this series I tackled…
