Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) int he Bible; with Bible Quotes / Proofs from the Old and new Testament; n the Song of Solomon, chapter 5 verse 16, we read in Hebrew: “Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem.” It means “His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.”

Version 1.0.0
4Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. a5Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you getup. 8Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. (The Monotheism
1“All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. 2They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. 3They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. 4I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you, 5but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things. 7But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate (teacher, Oarakletos in Greek Language Translation)will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9about sin, because people do not believe in me; 10about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
John 16 – NIV (New International Version) –12“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
Prophet Muhammad came to declare the Message – as part of the Last Revelation sent to Mankind. What was the Message? There is only one God Worthy of Worship. The Qur’an states that those who believe inand follow the prophet will prosper (Surah 7:157).
“Do notthinkthat I havecometoabolishthe Laworthe Prophets; I havenotcometoabolishthem buttofulfillthem.”Matthew 5:17
Jesus came to complete, or fulfill, the law. He came to call sinners to repentance. He came to speak the truth of God. Jesus came to save the lost and to do God’swill.
A Warning Against Hypocrisy Jesus warns many Scholars are Hypocrites: Mathew 23:1 1Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2“The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5“Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries a wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
8“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. 10Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. 11The greatest among you will be your servant. 12For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
Many Scholars Changed the Word of God/ Torah and Gospel: Quran Kareem – surah Baqarah versew 79-80- Hypocrisy of Scholars So woe1 to those who distort the Scripture with their own hands then say, “This is from Allah”—seeking a fleeting gain! So woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they have earned. ˹Some of˺ the Jews claim, “The Fire will not touch us except for a number of days.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Have you taken a pledge from Allah—for Allah never breaks His word—or are you ˹just˺ saying about Allah what you do not know?”
Was the firstbornson of Abraham (Ishmael) and his descendants included in God’s covenant and promise?A few verses from the Bible may help light on this question: Prophet Muhammad is a Descendant of Abraham and his son Ishmael (through Hagar) – and the other Prophets who came to be known as Jews came from Abraham and his other wife Sarah (such as David, Solomon, Moses, Zakarriayh, John the Baptist, Jesus)
Genesis 12:2-3 speaks ofGod’s promisetoAbraham and hisdescendants beforeanychildwas bornto him.
2 And l Will make ofyoU a great natIon, and l Will bless you and make yoor name great, so that you will be a blessIng. 3 l WIll bless those Who bless yoU, and hIm Who dIshonors yoU l WIll curse, and In yoo all the famIlIes of the earth shall be blessed.”[a]
Genesis 17:4 reiterates God’s promise after the birth of Ishmael and before the birthof Isaac.
InGenesis,Ch. 21, Isaac is specifically blessed but Ishmael wasalsospecifically blessedand promised byGodto becomea“greatnation” inGenesis 21:13,18.
1 7Genesis17:4-
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “ I am God Almighty[a]; walk before me faithfully and be blameless. 2 Then I will make my covenant,Abram fell facedown, and God said to him, “ As for me, this is my covenant withwill bethe father of many nations.5 No longer will you be called Abram[b];your name will be Abraham, (c] for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you. 7 I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. 8 The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants afteryou; and I will be their God. ”
Let us discuss Isaiah Chapter 42, Verses 9-12. God declares through Prophet Isaiah;
In chapter 42, Isaiah begins with a prophecy for the coming of Prophet Jesus (a.s.). Now after verse number nine we see that God declares through Isaiah, the “new things” that are to “spring forth” in the Land of Kedar, the land of Kedar is Arabia. So obviously this prophecy speaks about Prophet Muhammed (s.a.w.a.).
Let us discuss Isaiah Chapter 42, Verses 9-12. God declares through Prophet Isaiah;
“Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. `Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth’, Ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare His praise in the inlands.”1
Before we analyze the prophecy let us see where the land of Kedar is;
Ezekial chapter 27 verse 21 says:
‘Arabia, and including all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats; in these were they thy merchants’.
The personality called Kedar in the Bible is that of the grandson of Prophet Abraham (a.s.), through his son Ishmael which is mentioned in the book of Genesis 25:13. Kedar’s descendants had settled in Paran (Sino-Arabian dessert). In the Rabbinic literature Arabia is called the “Land of Kedar”. Prophet Muhammed (s.a.w.a.) was a descendant of Kedar. God did reveal in the Land of Kedar, through Prophet Muhammed – a direct descendant of Kedar, a ‘New Song’ i.e: The Qur’an (Koran). (The Recitation)

(Surah Al Qasas – 28:56) (O Prophet), you cannot grant guidance to whom you please. It is Allah Who guides those whom He will.79 He knows best who are amenable to guidance.
(28:57) They say: “If we were to follow this guidance with you, we should be snatched away from our land.”80 Have We not established for them a secure sanctuary to which fruits of all kinds are brought as a provision from Us? But most of them do not know.81
(28:58) And how many a town did We destroy whose inhabitants exulted on account of their affluence. These are their dwellings in which very few dwelt after them. Eventually it is We Who inherited them.82
Commentary
79. This sentence occurs after mentioning the acceptance of Islam by the Abyssinian Christians. Although the statement is ostensibly addressed to the Prophet (peace be on him), it is actually meant for the Makkan unbelievers. It exposes their folly and virtually tells them: “See, how unfortunate you are! Others are coming from distant lands to receive the benefit of True Guidance from the spiritual stream which is flowing in your own land, and yet you remain deprived of it.” But the manner in which it has been said is as follows: “O Muhammad, you wish that your people, your kith and kin, your fellow-tribesmen should benefit from this spring of life; but your wishes do not matter for Guidance ultimately rests with God and He grants it only to those who are worthy of receiving it. If your relatives are not worthy of that Guidance, how can they receive it?” According to Bukhari and Muslim, this verse was revealed with regard to Abu Talib, the Prophet’s (peace be on him) uncle. When his last moment came, the Prophet (peace be on him) tried his best to persuade him to pronounce the shahadah, “There is no god but Allah”, so that his end might be good. But Abu Talib preferred to die with the religion of his ancestor, ‘Abd al-Muttalib. It was in this context that God revealed the present verse: “You cannot grant Guidance to whom you please. It is Allah Who guides those whom He wills.” (See Bukhari, ‘K. al-Tafsir’, ‘Bab “Innaka la Tahdi man Ahbabta wa lakinna Allah Yahdi man Yasha’ ”, Muslim, ‘K. al-Iman’, ‘Bab al-Dalil ‘ala Sihhat Islam man Hadarahu al-Mawt … wa la Yunqidhuhu min dhalik Shay’ min al-Wasa’il’ — Ed.)
As we know, traditionists and Qur’anic commentators are wont to mention the specific events in the Prophet’s (peace be on him) life to which a Qur’anic verse applies as the “occasion” of its Revelation. It is in this light that we should view ‘the above tradition as also other traditions on the same subject in Tirmidhi and Ahmad ibn Hanbal’s Musnad on the authority of Companions such as Abu Hurayrah, ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abbas, “Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar and others. (See Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Musnad, Vol. 5, p. 433. Also see Tirmidhi, ‘K. Tafsir al-Qur’an’, ‘Bab Surah al-Qasas’ ~ Ed.) If we bear this in mind, there is reason to feel sure, on the grounds of these traditions, that the present verse was necessarily revealed at the time of Abu Talib’s death. All that we can be sure about is that the significance of this verse was felt most intensely on that occasion. The Prophet (peace be on him) was desirous that everyone should become a believer and, thus, his efforts in this regard were directed towards all. But if someone’s death in a state of non-acceptance of True Faith would agonize him most, it would be Abu Talib’s. This because of the Prophet’s intense personal attachment to his uncle. If the Prophet (peace be on him) did not even have the power to make his uncle accept God’s Guidance, then obviously he did not have this power with regard to anyone else. Enabling someone to believe lies entirely in Allah’s Hand, it is He Who dispenses this grace not on the grounds of any kinship or other affiliation, but in consideration of a person’s capacity to appreciate, and because of his sincere readiness to accept the Truth.
The Group of Seven, once known as the Algonquin School, was a group of Canadian Landscape Painters from 1920 to 1933, with a :like vision” . The initial group consisted of Franklin Carmichael (1890-1945) Lawren Harris (1885-1970), A.Y. Jackson (1890-1945), Frank Johnson (1889-1949) , Arthur Lismer (1885-1969), J.E.H. MacDonald (1873-1932), and Frederick Varley (1881-1969). A.J. Casson (1898-1992) was invited to join in 1926, Edwin Holgate (1892-1977) in 1930 and Lionel LeMoine Fitzgerald (1890-1956) joined in 1932.
Two artists associated with the group are Tom Thomson (1877-1917) and Emily Carr (1871-1945). Tom Thomson died before the official group formation – although the group was his Idea; in his essay “the Story of the Group of Seven”, Harris Thomson was a part of the movement before they pinned a label to it; Thomson’s paintings “The West Wind” and “The Jack Pine” are tow of the groups most iconic pieces.
Believing that a distinct Canadian art could be developed through direct contact with nature,[3] the Group of Seven is best known for its paintings inspired by the Canadian landscape, and initiated the first major Canadian national art movement.
McMichael Canadian Art Collection was founded by Robert and Signe McMichael, who began collecting paintings by the Group of Seven and their contemporaries in 1955.

Hadith on Tawakkul: Trust in Allah, but tie your camel
Anas ibn Malik reported: A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, should I tie my camel and trust in Allah, or should I leave her untied and trust in Allah?” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Tie her and trust in Allah.”
