Chapter 13: The commissioning of the Prophethood and some of the<br />
predictive signs thereof (Part 1)<br />
Muḥammad Ibn Is-ḥaaq رمحهُاهلل said: The Jewish rabbis and the Christians monks and the<br />
Arab soothsayers used to speak about the advent of Prophet Muḥammad ,ﷺ even<br />
before he was sent (as a Prophet), and when the time drew near.<br />
The Jews and Christian:<br />
As for the Jewish rabbis and the Christian monks, they spoke about the things which<br />
were mentioned in their books regarding his ﷺ description (and attributes), as well<br />
as the description of the time (and the place) of his arrival. <strong>Al</strong>laah تعاىل said regarding<br />
this:<br />
﴿الَّذِينَُيَتَّبِع ونَُالرَّس ولَ ُالنَِّبِ َُّاِّل مِّيَُُّالَّذِيُيَِد ونَه ُمَك ت وب اُعِندَه م ُفِ ُالتَّو رَاةُِوَاْل ِجنِيلِ ُيَأ م ر ه مُبِال مَع ر وفِ ُ<br />
وَيَن هَاه م ُعَنُِال م نكَرُِوَُيِلَُُّلَ م ُالطَّيِّبَاتِ ُوَُي َرِّم ُعَلَي هِم ُاْل َبَائِثَ ُوَيَضَع ُعَن ه م ُإِص رَه م ُُوَاِّل َغ الَ لَ ُالَّتِ ُكَانَت ُُ<br />
عَلَي هِم ُُۖفَالَّذِينَُآمَن واُبِهُِوَعَزَّر وه ُوَنَصَر وه ُوَاتَّبَع واُالنُّورَُالَّذِيُأ نزِلَ ُمَعَه ُُۖأ ولَىئِكَ ُه م ُال م ف لِح ونَ﴾<br />
{Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write (i.e.<br />
Muḥammad) whom they find written with them in the Taurah and the Injeel; who<br />
enjoins upon them al-Ma`roof (i.e. Islaamic Monotheism and all that Islaam has<br />
ordained); and forbids them al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism of all kinds, and all<br />
that Islaam has forbidden); and makes lawful for them al-Ṭayyibaat (the good things)<br />
and prohibits for them al-Khabaa’ith (the evil and the unlawful), he releases them<br />
from their heavy burdens (of <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Covenant), and from the shackles which were<br />
upon them. So those who believe in him (Muḥammad), honor him, help him, and<br />
follow the light (the Qur’aan) which has been sent down with him, it is they who will<br />
be successful.} [Surah al-A`raaf (7): 157]<br />
And <strong>Al</strong>laah تعاىل said:<br />
﴿ْمَُّمَّد ُُرَّس ول ُُاللَّهُُُِۖوَالَّذِينَُُمَعَهُُأَشِ دَّاءُُعَلَىُال ك فَّارُُِر محََاءُُبَي نَه م ُُُۖتَرَاه م ُُركَّع اُس جَّد اُيَب تَغ ونَُُفَض ال ُُ<br />
مِّنَُُاللَّهُُِوَرِض وَان اُُۖسِ يمَاه م ُُفِ ُُو ج وهِهِمُمِّن ُُأَثَرُُِالسُّج ودُُُِۖذَىلِكَُُمَثَل ه م ُُفِ ُُالتَّو رَاةُُُِۖوَمَثَل ه م ُُفِ ُُ<br />
