In The Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
One of the very common disputes between Islam and Christianity is that the Islamic belief and the Holy Quran states that Jesus (PBUH) gave the glad tidings of one last prophet that will come after him as the seal of all prophets and messengers and his name will be Ahmad which is another name for prophet Muhammad PBUH
However Christians argue that Jesus (PBUH) never mentioned the name Ahmad or Muhammad and never told anyone that there will be one last prophet that will come after him and will be the seal of all prophets and messengers and their argument lies in
"There is no verse in the bible where what you mentioned about this last prophet can be found"
But we Muslims believe that our mighty Prophet Muhammad PBUH is mentioned by Jesus Christ (PBUH) where he tells his disciples about this last mighty Prophet of Allah
So let us examine some verses in the Bible
John 16:12-15 King James Version
12I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now
13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide
you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come
14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you
15All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you
End of verses
As we read we understood that Jesus (PBUH) told his disciples that he has a lot of things to tell them but they cannot bear what he wish to tell them and the word "bear" here means spiritually not physically as they won't be able to understand it
Because if we examine the mentality of children of Israel at the time of Moses (PBUH) we will find that they gave him a lot of trouble because of their very materialistic mentality and how he put a great effort to make them understand the will of Allah almighty and the spiritual world that they can not see or touch
They had a long way to go so they can grow spiritually because at that time they were like a little kid that if you told him
I made you a bank account and put in it 1 million for you
What his reaction will be? He won't care about what you said because he has first to grow up to understand the value of money and the procedures of banks
BUT
If you told that kid
I got you a toy
His reaction will be excitement and happiness because he does not understand anything not materialistic because he is still a little one
That what the children of Israel suffered from as they were materialistic people and this disease that Moses (PBUH) struggled to cure and he made an advancement with them but the disease carried on after the passing of Moses (PBUH) and the coming of Jesus PBUH
And that is why Jesus told them that he will not be able to tell them what he wishes but there is someone who will come and tell them those things when they grow spiritually but Jesus must go first so this person can be sent
Here Jesus made a condition, if he goes this person will come and other than that he won't come
Here I ask my Christian brothers and sisters who is the HE that Jesus mentioned 9 times? which is the only time where HE is mentioned 9 times in one verse in the bible
The only answer I have gotten from any Christian to this question is
Jesus means the Holy Ghost not Muhammad PBUH
I consider this a very illogical and wrong answer, why? Because Jesus made a condition that this person does not exist and will not come until Jesus goes away
So
The Holy Spirit already existed long before Jesus's birth
Luke 1:15 King James Version
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb
Here it mentioned the Holy Ghost with John (PBUH) in his mother's womb and in the same chapter the Holy Ghost was with Elizabeth and Zachariah too
But wait
Wasn’t the holy ghost with Jesus too? I believe so
Luke 11:20 King James Version
20But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you
So it does not make sense to say it is the Holy Ghost who Jesus was telling about and if Christians still argue that it is the Holy Ghost then I have a question
If it really was the Holy Ghost that Jesus was talking about then where is it until today after 2010 years and what are the new things that it taught you as Jesus said he has a lot of thing to tell you? Isn't the Holy Spirit with you priests and born again Christians? I do not know why it did not show up until now
But what I know and believe is Jesus was talking about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and here is why
First Jesus says
13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth
is Muhammad a spirit? Yes he is and not every spirit mentioned in the bible means Holy Spirit
Revelation 1:4 King James Version
4John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
So does Christians believe in 7 holy ghosts? I don’t think so
And in
John 4:1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Here we conclude from this verse
False spirit = False Prophet
True spirit = True Prophet
So do you still think Jesus was talking about the Holy Ghost
Thirdly, Jesus said
13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth
And Allah told Prophet Muhammad in the Holy Quran
O Prophet! Lo! We have sent thee as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And as a summoner unto Allah by His permission, and as a lamp that giveth light
Holy Quran 33:45-46
And
Lo! We have sent thee with the Truth, a bearer of glad tidings and a warner
Holy Quran 35:24
And
He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the Religion of Truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religion, however much the idolaters may be averse
Holy Quran 9:33
Fourthly Jesus said
for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak
And Allah says about Prophet Muhammad
Your companion (Muhammad SAW) has neither gone astray nor has erred. Nor does he speak of (his own) desire. It is only a Revelation revealed
Holy Quran 53: 2-4
I leave my question to all my Christian brothers and sister to answer within themselves
After examining and explaining the verses is it logical to say the Holy Spirit is the one that Jesus was talking about? Or is it logical to say it was Prophet Muhammad PBUH who Jesus mentioned 9 times in that verse
?
Prophet Jesus Christ told the children of Israel
And (remember) when 'Īsā (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), said: "O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allâh unto you confirming the Taurât [(Torah) which came] before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed
Holy Quran 61:6
Allah almighty said the truth and all peace and blessings be on Prophet Muhammad, the pure people of his house, and his companions
