The question of the Paraclete in John has widely been applied to Mohammed. Below is an extract from M.Khaleds article which I hope He does not mind me C&P here but I would like to address some of the points he has made which I see as misinterpreting the verses to mean something they do not. I though by using the article would save time if this in unacceptable to M.Khaled please say so and if that the case I will just post my opinions.. Article in blue..


Christians believe that the paraclete or Comforter whom Jesus mentioned is the Holy Spirit. Actually this prophecy tells about Muhammad (Peace be upon him). How come? Let’s see what Jesus said:


Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you.

The Comforter = Holy Spirit.. Mohammed was never a "Spirit" he was a flesh and blood person whom people knew. Yet.. None of the Disciples knew Mohammed. So how would Mohammed bring to remembrance the teachings of Jesus. Actually what were the teachings of Jesus Mohammed brought to remembrance of anyone? Jesus said that the Father will send the Comforter in His Name (Jesus). Do you believe that Muhammad was sent in the name of Jesus? Or do you believe Mohammed to be sent by God?


The word” he shall teach you all things” can’t be applied on the Holy Spirit, because Christian scholars misinterpreted many issues. For example if we looked at the Early Church Fathers, we will find that many of them adopted heretic opinions, you can see this in my article Holy Spirit and Guidance. If all these misinterpretations and diversities among Christian sects occurred, then what is the job of the Holy Spirit? Isn’t he supposed to teach them all things? Otherwise this means that most of the Early Church Fathers whom Christians mainly depend on as they took their faith from them, and knew the Bible canons from them rejected the Holy Spirit when he told them the truth. This is a blasphemy against the Holy Spirit:

It can only be applied to the Holy Spirit.. For you to makes claims about ECF misinterpreted the meaning of the Holy Spirit in this instance I don't see has any foundation. You are once again reading things that are not there instead of reading what the words actually tell you.


Mat 12:32 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come.


This will consequently mean that either Christians took their doctrine and their faith from heretic church fathers, or that we have the first choice that the Holy Spirit will not be the Paraclete mentioned in that prophecy. But in case of Muhammad (Peace be upon him), he told us what to believe, what to do and not to do through what God revealed to him either in the Quran or in the Sunna, if a Muslim misunderstood a verse or had a wrong opinion, then he will be the one who is mistaken, not the Quran or the Sunna since we don’t believe that there is a Holy Spirit in us.

As there is no proof of your claims against the ECF in regards to misinterpreting John 14:26 I'm not sure what you're basing your use of Mat 12:32 on. The first and only choice here is that the Paraclete referred to is John is the Holy Spirit and not Mohammed. The words of Jesus are quite clear in fact out of the handful of Bible verses muslims claim for Mohammed I believe the is the weakest of the lot.. And really all of them when looked at in context are pretty weak so that is saying something. Or are you asking us to believe on the basis of Mat 12:32 that speaking against Jesus will be forgiven but speaking against Mohammed would not?
