22. Revelation to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

REVELATION TO PROPHET MUHAMMED (PBUH)

The first revelation of Allah through the angel Gabriel to Muhammed (pbuh) was the word "Iqra" which means, "Read" in Arabic. Surah 96:v.1. As he was unlearned (could not read nor write) he replied: "I cannot read." This first revelation was prophesied in Isaiah 29:12:

"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, "Read this, I pray thee" and he saith, "I am not learned." Exactly as stated in Isaiah 29:12! The order of the revelations is not in the order it is seen in the Qur'an. In other words the first part revealed is not in the first page and the last part revealed is not in the last page. That these revelations came piecemeal bit by bit, (here a little and there a little) and inserted in certain order in the Qur'an as ordained by Allah, was also mentioned in Isaiah 28:10-11: "For precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to his people." See how perfectly these prophecies fit Prophet Muhammed (pbuh). The Qur'an was revealed over a period of 23 years and it was revealed "precept upon precept" as it was prophesied. Another tongue means Arabic, not Hebrew or Aramaic which Jesus spoke. One does not have to stretch one's imagination to make the prophecies fit. GOD makes it easy to have true belief and understanding of his message. It is the Church that is confusing the people with its own interpretations and teachings.

Muslims all over the world use one language, which is Arabic, in calling upon their God, in their prayers, pilgrimage and in their greetings to each other. Also this unity of language had been prophesied in Zephaniah 3:9: "For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent." Look how it all fits. The name of God is Allah, which is a pure word, which cannot be corrupted, and every nation be it German, Bosnian, Chinese, Indian, American, Turkish or any nation, calls upon Allah only in Arabic. Alas the Truth has come in Arabic, but some still expect Prophet Jesus (pbuh), to teach mankind to worship Allah in another language in his second coming. We Muslims are sure that Prophet Jesus (pbuh) in his second coming will join the Muslims in their mosques to pray to Allah. He is a Muslim, circumcised, shunning the eating of pork, and abstaining from alcohol and performing prayers with ablution, standing, bowing and prostrating as he did in the Garden of Gethsemane, and as the Muslims pray in their homes and mosques!

It can never be a church as it contains "Graven Images" and has photos, paintings of cherubim and crosses, and Jesus never ever prayed in such a place before.

That day is definitely not far off. Most of the signs foretold by prophet Muhammed prior to Jesus's return to earth have already been fulfilled. The time is very close. I pray to the ONE GOD, Who created all the Angels, Jinn, Mankind, and everything that exists, to guide us unto all truth, as was the earnest prayer of Jesus and all the prophets (pbut), and may Allah accept this humble effort through HIS mercy, of the author, compiler, and all those who have been instrumental in the publication of this book. Ameen.
