All the praises and thanks be to Allaah, Sustainer of the Universe, and blessing and salutation to be the most distinguish of the Messengers and foremost among the Prophets, our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allaah be on him and on his wives, children and Companions.
Pseudo-Muslim Osama Abdallah has written another usual absurdity, which is nothing but laughingstock. Pseudo-Muslim Osama Abdallah writes,
|
Let's look at Isaiah 42:6,11: 6. "I, the LORD , have called you in
righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make
you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles,
Important Note: Kedar is the son of Ishmael peace be upon him: "These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, (From the NIV Bible, Genesis 25:13)" The people of Kedar are the original Arabs. They are today's
Saudis and Yemenis, and these are 100% Muslims! There is not a
single Saudi or Yemeni who is Christian today! They are nothing but
Muslims. So the "light of the
Gentiles" and "Kedar
Lives rejoice" are clear Prophecies and Signs
for the Divine and Truthful Religion of Islam. |
There are many problems with the non-sensical claims made by Pseudo-Muslim Osama Abdallah. First of all he doesn’t even understand the ‘Isaiah chapter 42.’ Secondly, all Arabs are not the children of Ishmael (Ismaeel عليه اسلام). Arabs existed long before even Ibraheem ابرهيم عليه اسلام was born. Bible (Old Testament) is full of too many names of individuals, cities and tribes that existed before Ibraheem ابرهيم عليه اسلام; the book of Genesis contains all this information. Genesis chapters 10; 11; 12 & 14; are good places to verify this information that all Arabs are not the descendants of Ishmael (Ismaeel عليه اسلام). Following Arabs and/or Arab nations that existed and are not the progeny of Ishmael (Ismaeel عليه اسلام).

Ishmael (Ismaeel عليه اسلام) was the father of twelve (12) sons, see Genesis 16:11; Genesis 16:16; Genesis 17:18; Genesis 17:20; Genesis 17:23; Genesis 17:25; Genesis 17:26; Genesis 25:9; Genesis 25:12; Genesis 25:13; Genesis 25:16; Genesis 25:17; Genesis 28:9; Genesis 36:3; Judges 8:24; 2-Kings 25:23; 2-Kings 25:25; 1-chronicles 1:29; 1-chronicles 8:38; 1-chronicles 9:44; 2-chronicles 19:11; 2-chronicles 23:1; Ezra 10:22; Jeremiah 40:8; Jeremiah 40:14; Jeremiah 40:15; Jeremiah 41:1; Jeremiah 41:2; Jeremiah 41:3; Jeremiah 41:6; Jeremiah 41:7; Jeremiah 41:8; Jeremiah 41:9; Jeremiah 41:10; Jeremiah 41:11-16 & Jeremiah 41:18; Psalms 83:6.
The above information is
presented to expose the ignorance of Pseudo- Muslim, Osama Abdallah and his
so-called scholarship. Let us
look for actual prophecy that is to be found in Isaiah chapter 42, and again
notice the absurdity authored by Pseudo-Muslim Osama Abdallah. First of all the
prophecy consists in the verses Isaiah 42:1-4, 6, 8, & 11 and not as asserted by the author
of absurdities i.e. Pseudo-Muslim Osama Abdallah. The facts about the prophecy and/or accounts
are as follows:
The prophecy in the following verses from Isaiah
chapter 42 is obviously about the promised one with certain
characteristics, such as, he would be the elect and the favorite of the
God. He would be bestowed with the
universal leadership and Divine guidance to govern the affairs of the world.
The reference of “Gentiles”
means that the promised one would be from the seed of Kedar, a son of Ishmael.
This reference clearly rules out that the promised one is not a Jew and
neither, it is Jesus, who was a Jew according to Bible and Christian belief
with their claim i.e. Jesus is/was “son of David.” Jesus is reported to have said in the gospels that he came
to the lost sheep of Israel (not for the entire world).
Therefore his message was limited in scope. Jesus also didn’t establish any empire nor
sat on judgment over nations. Thus, this prophecy cannot be applied to Jesus.
Isaiah 42:1-4, 6, 8, & 11!
042:001 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine
elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall
bring forth judgment to the Gentiles 042:002 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor
cause his voice to be heard in the street. 042:003 A bruised reed shall he not
break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment
unto truth. 042:004 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set
judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
042:006 I the LORD have called thee in
righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for
a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
042:008 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my
glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
042:011 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.
According to Old Testament (Genesis) Kedar is the undisputed son of Ishmael, who
lived in Paran (Makkah) in Arabia. Kedar is called an Arabian for this reason
in the Bible including “Isaiah” mentioned earlier in this book. Therefore, the
promised one is no other than Prophet Muhammad صلی الله
عليه وسلم, as
there arose no other prophet among Arabs. In conclusion, all the attributes
mentioned in this prophecy are testifying and agglutinating to Prophet Muhammad
صلی الله عليه وسلم. The words “My servant” are
the literal translation of “Abd-Allaah” which is one of the main appellations of the Prophet Muhammad صلی الله عليه وسلم in the Muslim articles of faith as
Glorious Qur’aan says (17:1 & 72:19).
Surah Al-Israa 1
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ
الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ
آيَاتِنَا إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
Glorified (and Exalted) be He
(Allâh) (above all that (evil) they associate with Him) {1}
Who took His slave
(Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) for a journey by night from Al-Masjid-al-Harâm
(at Makkah) to Al-Masjid-al-Aqsâ (in Jerusalem),
the neighborhood whereof We have blessed, in order that We might show him
(Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) of Our Ayât (proofs, evidence,
lessons, signs, etc.). Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer {2}
.
{1} (V.17: 1) وقد روى طلحة بن عبيد الله أنه قال للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ما معنى سبحان الله؟ قال تنزيه الله من كل سوء؛
{2} (V.17: 1) Narrated Jâbir bin ‘Abdullâh رضي الله عنهما that he heard Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, "When the people of Quraish did not believe me (i.e. in the story of my Isrâ’ - (Night Journey)), I stood up in Al-Hijr and Allâh displayed Jerusalem in front of me, and I began describing it to them while I was looking at it. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.5, Hadith No.226).
Surah Al-Jinn 19
وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَدْعُوهُ كَادُوا يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ
لِبَدًا
And when the slave of Allâh (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) stood up invoking Him (his Lord - Allâh) in prayer they (the jinn) just made round him a dense crowd as if sticking one over the other (in order to listen to the Prophet’s recitation).
It must be remembered that Prophet Muhammad صلی الله عليه وسلم
has been called servant, slave, or bondsman of Allaah in many places in
Glorious Qur’aan. Christians cannot claim this
prophecy for Jesus (JESUS) since according to their belief and gospels:
Again, Jesus is not the object of
this prophecy. Beside that the word
“Elect” is a translation of
Arabic word “Mustafa”, that is one of
the popular names of Prophet Muhammad صلی الله عليه وسلم. The phrase “in whom my soul delighteth”
in the prophecy is also the mirror image of Arabic word “Murtaza”
that is yet another name of Prophet Muhammad صلی الله عليه
وسلم.
Christians cannot claim this
prophecy for Jesus for many reasons including the reason that Jesus cried on
the cross for being forsaken by God when he was crucified, this certainly
is contrary to (“in whom my
soul delighteth.”) the part of the alleged god who is hanged. Christians
do face another major dilemma as according to:
003:013 Christ hath
redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is
written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
This proves that God was not
delighted in him; otherwise there should not have been any suffering by
hanging.
The word “spirit” is also used in the sense of revelation from God as
we read in Glorious Qur’aan:
Surah Ash-Shura 52
وَكَذَلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ رُوحًا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا مَا كُنْتَ
تَدْرِي مَا الْكِتَابُ وَلَا الْإِيمَانُ وَلَكِنْ جَعَلْنَاهُ نُورًا نَهْدِي بِهِ
مَنْ نَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِي إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ
And thus We have sent to you (O
Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) Ruh (a Revelation, and a Mercy) of Our Command.
You knew not what is the Book, nor what is Faith? But We have made it (this
Qur’ân) a light wherewith We guide whosoever of Our slaves We will. And verily,
you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) are indeed guiding (mankind) to the
Straight Path (i.e. Allâh’s Religion of Islâmic Monotheism).
Surah Al-Israa 85
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا
أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
And they ask you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) concerning the Rűh
(the Spirit); Say: "The Rűh (the
Spirit) is one of the things, the
knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you
(mankind) have been given only a little."
Isaiah 42:2 says (“042:002 He shall not cry, nor
lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.”) This
verse further support Muslims claims that the promised one is Muhammad صلی الله عليه وسلم
and not Jesus, because (a) According to Christians when Jesus was arrested he
was humiliated on the streets before his crucifixion. We further read in the
gospels when Jesus attacked the temple (See Mark
11:15-16; Luke 19:27 & 45; Matthew 21:12; John 2:13-15 & 19) he
was yelling at the priests in the Temple, throwing and turning down the tables
of money changers and driving people out of the temple by whipping etc. (about
a 1000 people died in this attack) Jesus called the scribes and Pharisees
as “White sepulchers full of dead men’s bones”
while threatening them with great damnation. But contrary to that we read in
Sahih Bukhari:
50-CHAPTER: The disapproval of raising voices in the
market!
[2125] 'Ata' Ibn Yasar narrated: «I met 'Abdullah bin 'Umar bin 'Amr bin Al-'As and asked him: «Tell me about the described of Allah's Apostle (the blessing and peace of Allah be upon him) which is mentioned in the Torah (i.e. Old Testament)». He replied: «Yes, By Allah, he is described in the Torah with some of the qualities attributed to him in the Qur’ân: «O Prophet! We have sent you as a witness (for Allah's True religion) And a giver of good tidings (to the faithful believers), And a guardian of the illiterates. You are My slave and My Messenger (i.e. Apostle). I have named you the relier because You are neither discourteous, harsh, not a noise-maker in the markets, and you do not do evil to those, who do evil to you, but you deal with them with forgiveness and kindness. Allah will not let him the Prophet (the blessing and peace of Allah be upon him) die till he makes straight the crooked people by making them say: There is to god but Allah». With which will be opened blind eyes, and deaf ears and enveloped hearts».
In the third verse of this prophecy “he
shall bring forth judgment unto truth” is referring to the fact that
the prophet would be a King and a Judge,
we know that Jesus has no such qualities beside the Christians “hollow” claims
(without proof) that Jesus was the alleged king. Jesus didn’t judge anyone nor
sat in the judgment of the guilty. The truth is other way around since Jesus
was judged for attack on temple and was convicted with death sentence for this
felonious act as the gospels tell us, therefore, one may argue that Christian
sham god was a convicted felon. Also Jesus didn’t wage any war against
infidels, which was a part of Jesus’ faith as a Jew. This verse again, like
others quoted refers to Prophet Muhammad صلی الله عليه
وسلم, whose law will endure till
eternity. Jews, Christians or any other nation cannot claim equality with
Muslim Ummah. There is no nation on the face of earth who has preserved the
deeds and words of its prophet as Muslims did. The eternity of Divine Law
that Muhammad صلی الله عليه وسلم brought put a seal on the finality of the Prophethood as we
read in Glorious Qur’aan:
Surah An-Nisaa 65
فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ
فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًا مِمَّا قَضَيْتَ
وَيُسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
But no, by your Lord, they can
have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad صلی الله
عليه وسلم) judge in all
disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your
decisions, and accept (them) with full submission.
Surah Al-Ahzab 40
مَا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا أَحَدٍ مِنْ
رِجَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ
شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا
Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allâh and the last (end) of the Prophets. And Allâh is Ever All-Aware of everything.
When a new
prophet appears, the previous law automatically become annulled by the
succeeding law and does not remain in perpetuity. The perpetuity in
the enforcement of law can only be feasible when no more prophets are to follow
the former.
We read further in the prophecy (“042:004 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.”) Prophet Muhammad صلی الله عليه وسلم established judgment on the earth in his lifetime and gave the glad tiding of the perfection of faith of Islaam, which came from God, as we read in Glorious Qur’aan (5:3):
Surah Al-Maidah 3
الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ
عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلَامَ دِينًا
This day, I have perfected your religion for you,
completed My Favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islâm as your religion.
Surah Al-fat-h 1
إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا
Verily, We have given
you (O Muhammad وسلم صلى الله عليه) a manifest victory.
The Prophecies of Qur’aan
& Isaiah 42 (both)!
Despite of chronic and acute hatred on part of disbelievers and enemies of Islaam, this true religion (Islaam) of Allaah would outdo in respect of Guidance and Truthfulness.
Surah As-Saff 9
هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ
الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ
He it is Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islâmic Monotheism) to make it victorious over all (other) religions even though the Mushrikűn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh and in His Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) hate (it).
At the time of attaining the Prophethood by the Prophet Muhammad صلی الله عليه وسلم the political situation of Arabia was precarious. In the South was the State of Habsha (Ethiopia) and the Northern parts of it were under the Roman Empire. Both of these were Christian states. Christianity had entered Arabia in 330 A.D. and Banu Ghassan (Ghassan tribe) had converted to Christianity. Gradually Christianity expanded its hold politically on Iraq, Bahrain, Faraan Desert and Doomat-ul-Jandal. Prof. Sedev writes: “From 395 A.D. all vehemence was put to propagation of Christianity in Arabia. But, Islaam within a very short span of time spread through the entity- and all these states adopted Islaam. They also got stability by it.”
Eastern Arabia and Majusianism
On the Eastern parts of Arabia there was Persian Empire and a Governor appointed by the king of Persia ruled as his representative or agent. Therefore, in the eastern pats of Arabia worship of fire was in vogue. There are such Arabs on record in the annals of history of that era that had kept daughters and sisters as their “mistresses” under the influence of Majusianism and their practices. Islaam however, uprooted this religion and perished it within no time after its emergence.
Central Arabia and Idol Worship
In Hijaz (the central Arabia) Ibnul Lahee had brought an
idol for the first time. Three centuries before Islaam all the important tribes
had become idol-worshippers.
Islaam as its sign of truthfulness rid all such communities of idol-worshippers of these superstitions. And it fact these are the meanings of the words:
...to make it victorious over all (other)
religions
This
had happened during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad صلی الله عليه وسلم and
the Prophecy of Glorious Qur’aan and also of Isaiah 42 had been fulfilled.
The above Ayaat آيات and Islaamic history are the evidence that promised was fulfilled. Isaiah 42:04 also apply to the
rightly guided Caliphs and those who came after them, stretched the Islaamic
Empire filling the world with justice and equity.
In verse six (6) “I the LORD have called thee in righteousness” of this prophecy is referring to the noble character of eloquent of Prophet Muhammad صلی الله عليه وسلم as Qur’aan testify:
Surah Al-A'raf 157
الَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ الرَّسُولَ النَّبِيَّ الْأُمِّيَّ
الَّذِي يَجِدُونَهُ مَكْتُوبًا عِنْدَهُمْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُمْ
بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَاهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ
عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَالْأَغْلَالَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ
عَلَيْهِمْ فَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِهِ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَاتَّبَعُوا النُّورَ
الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ مَعَهُ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write (i.e. Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) whom they find written with them in the Taurât (Torah) (Deut, xviii 15) and the Injeel (Gospel) (John xiv, 16) {1} , - he commands them for Al-Ma‘rűf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm has ordained); and forbids them from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism of all kinds, and all that Islâm has forbidden); he allows them as lawful At-Tayyibât (i.e. all good and lawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods), and prohibits them as unlawful Al-Khabâ’ith (i.e. all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons and foods), he releases them from their heavy burdens (of Allâh’s Covenant with the children of Israel), and from the fetters (bindings) that were upon them. So those who believe in him (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), honor him, help him, and follow the light (the Qur’ân), which has been sent down with him, it is they who will be successful {2} .
{1} (V.7: 157) There exists in the
Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), even after the original text has been
distorted, clear prophecies indicating the coming of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, e.g. Deut. 18: 18,21:21; Ps. 118:22-23; Isa. 42: 1-13; Hab.3:
3-4; Matt. 21:42-43; Jn.14: 12-17, 26-28, 16: 7-14.
{2} (V.7: 157): A) "O you who have been given the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Believe in what We have revealed (to Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم) confirming what is (already) with you, before We efface faces (by making them (faces) like the backs of the necks; without nose, mouth and eyes), and turn them hind wards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath -breakers. And the Commandment of Allâh is always executed." (V.4: 47). B) See (V.57: 28), and its footnote.
In the same verse of Isaiah (42:6) we further read, “will hold thine hand, and will keep
thee” was fulfilled as we read in Glorious Qur’aan (5:67):
Surah Al-Maidah 67
يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ
مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ وَاللَّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ
مِنَ النَّاسِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ
O Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from
your Lord. And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His Message. Allâh
will protect you from mankind. Verily, Allâh guides not the people who
disbelieve.
It must be
remembered that all attempts of disbelievers failed to kill Prophet Muhammad صلی الله عليه وسلم.
Contrary to this Jesus was not saved, as Christians believe, he was killed on
the cross. The verse 6 continues saying “and give thee for a
covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;” this
can be reconciled with Glorious Qur’aan (4:170), which reads:
Surah An-Nisaa 170
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَكُمُ الرَّسُولُ
بِالْحَقِّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَآمِنُوا خَيْرًا لَكُمْ وَإِنْ تَكْفُرُوا فَإِنَّ لِلَّهِ
مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا
O mankind! Verily, there has come
to you the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) with the truth from your Lord. So believe
in him, it is better for you. But if you disbelieve, then certainly to Allâh
belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. And Allâh is Ever
All-Knowing, All-Wise.
Surah An-Nisaa 174
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ بُرْهَانٌ
مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَأَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ نُورًا مُبِينًا
O mankind! Verily, there has come
to you a convincing proof (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه
وسلم) from your Lord; and We
sent down to you a manifest light (this Qur’ân).
Surah As-Saff 8
يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ
وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ
They intend to put out the Light
of Allâh (i.e. the Religion of Islâm, this Qur’ân, and the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)
with their mouths. But Allâh will bring His Light to perfection even though the
disbelievers hate (it).
Surah Al-Jumu’ah 4
ذَلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَاللَّهُ
ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ
That is the Grace of Allâh, which He bestows on whom He
wills. And Allâh is the Owner of Mighty Grace.
Verses 11 of the same chapter says: “Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up
their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock
sing, let them shout from the top of mountains. Let them give glory of the
Lord, and declare his praise in the islands.” Again, Kedar is the son of Ishmael and
among the ancestors of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The “wilderness” is the
reference to “Paran” where Abraham left Hagar and Ishmael (see Genesis 21:21),
it is the same place that is called Makkah today, “and the villages of Kedar”
is a clear reference to Makkah where children of Ishmael settled. Makkah is
also the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad صلی الله عليه
وسلم, and Muslims holiest site
Kaa’bah is in Makkah as well where the hymns of the Lord are sung day and night
(24/7/365), especially at the time of Hajj. Also referring to the welcome
accorded to the Prophet Muhammad صلی الله عليه وسلم when he first migrated to Madinah (Hijrah)
from Makkah. The Muslims were
overjoyed at the arrival of the Messenger of Allaah صلی
الله عليه وسلم. It was the
best thing that had ever happened to them. The women and children chanted, ‘This is the Messenger of Allaah who has come! This is the
Messenger of Allaah who has come!' In their delight, the girls of
the Ansar recited:
The full moon shines down
upon us from Thaniyat al-Wada'.
We must all give our thanksgiving
all the while praising Allaah
You whom Allaah sends among
us,
What you bring, we will obey
You've ennobled Madinah.
Welcome now! Guide us to His
way!
Anas ibn Malik al-Ans a boy at that
time, said, 'I saw the Messenger of Allaah صلی الله عليه وسلم the day he entered Madinah. I have not seen a better
or more radiant day than when he came to us in Madinah.'
Readers can see that facts presented above clearly prove without a shadow of a doubt that Isaiah 42 is not about Jesus (Period). Isaiah 42 is obviously about Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم.
