CRITERION OF "THAT" PROPHET, BY JEREMIAH

M. In Jeremiah 28:9: "The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the Lord hath truly sent him." The word Islam means submission to Allah and also signifies tranquility and peace. Peace between the Creator and his creatures. This prophecy of Jeremiah cannot be applied to Jesus, as Jesus himself stated that he didn't come for peace (Luke 12:51- 53): "Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there will be five in one house divided, three against two and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in 80 law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law." See also Matthew 10:34-36. When prophet Muhammed came, he brought perfect peace, as he did away with all the prejudices of race, colour and caste. Qur'an states: " Allah created all the nations and tribes that they may recognize each other, not that they may despise each other." History as recorded by non-muslims shows the perfect harmony that Islam brought to the world for 800 years.
