تنبأ عيسي بالباركليت ( محمد) في الإنجيل
In the Bible we can find the following four passages wherein Jesus (peace be upon him) predicts a great event:
_John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever"
_John 15:26 "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me"
_John 14:26 "But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
_John 16:7-14 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: forhe shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you."
Jesus in the Greek Bible used the Greek word "Periklytos" which means the admirable or glorified one.He called that predicted human prophet "Periklytos".This word corresponds exactly to the Arabic word "Muhammad" which also means the "admired one" or "glorified one."In other words, "Periklytos" is "Muhammad" in Greek.
In these four verses, the word "comforter" is translated from the word "Paraclete" ("Ho Parakletos" in Greek). Parakletos in Greek is interpreted as "an advocate", one who pleads the cause of another, one who councils or advises another from deep concern for the other's welfare (Beacon Bible commentary volume VII, p.168). In these verses we are told that once Jesus (peace be upon him) departs, a Paraclete will come. He will glorify Jesus (peace be upon him), and he will guide mankind into all truth. This "Paraclete" is identified in John 14:26 as the Holy Ghost.

It is well known that the Holy Spirit existed before and during the life of Christ.
John 16:7
7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
So who is the comforter?

Deuteronomy - Chapter 32
19 And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

فاران في مكة وليس سيناء وهو المكان الذي عاش فيه إسماعيل (عليه السلام) كما هو مذكور في سفر التكوين:
Paran Telling about Mecca
The Old Testament tells an interesting issue about a place called Paran. It says in Deuteronomy:
And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. 2 And he said, Jehovah came from Sinai, And rose from Seir unto them; He shined forth from mount Paran, And he came from the ten thousands of holy ones: At his right hand was a fiery law for them. (Deuteronomy 33:1-2)
And in the Septuagaint:
33:2 And he said, The Lord is come from Sina, and has appeared from Seir to us, and has hasted out of the mount of Pharan, with the ten thousands of Cades; on his right hand [were] his angels with him.
This prophecy here tells about the three prophets; Moses (Peace be upon him) “The LORD came from Sinai”, then Jesus (Peace be upon him) “and rose up from Seir unto them”, then finally Muhammad ﷺ in the bolded words.
Paran is Mecca .
Ishmael Lived in Paran
Paran is Mecca not Sinai and it is where Ishmael (Peace be upon him) lived in as mentioned in Genesis:
Genesis 21:20 And God was with the lad, and he grew. And he dwelt in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer. Gen 21:21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
A Christian commentator wrote about that saying:
God was with the lad, etc. — Paran (that is, Arabia), where his posterity has ever dwelt (compare Gen_16:12; also Isa_48:19; 1Pe_1:25). (Jamisson, Fausset and Brown commentary)
Evidence from Jewish and Christian Sources that Paran is Mecca:
According to many Christian and Jewish sources, Paran was interpreted to be in Arabia. We can see first what Strong’s Bible dictionary says about Paran:
H6290 pâ’rân
From H6286; ornamental; Paran, a desert of Arabia: – Paran. (Source here)
This was emphasized more in the Bible when it says that the descendants of Ishmael (Peace be upon him) were in Arabia not in Sinai:
Genesis 25:18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria. He abode over against all his brethren.
John Gill wrote about it saying:
Gen 25:18 – And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur,…. That is, the posterity of Ishmael, whose country reached from one place to the other; not from India to Chaluza, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem; but the extent is that vast desert of Arabia, which eastward was called the wilderness of Havilah, and westward the wilderness of Shur; so that they inhabited it from east to west: (John Gill’s commentary)
And Rabbi Rachi tells in his commentary that Paran in Deuteronomy 33 refers to the Ishmaelites:
“from Mount Paran [Why did God then come from Paran?] Because He went there and offered the children of Ishmael [who dwelled in Paran] to accept the Torah, but they [also] did not want [to accept it].” (Source here)
It may be said that Paran was mentioned somewhere else in other parts, and doesn’t seem from these verses were pointing to Arabia. Actually that doesn’t mean that there is one Paran, for example, there were 2 places called Seir, one is related to the mount of Idumea and the other is related to Palestine as mentioned in the previous prophecy of Isaiah 42.
Ten thousands of Saints with a Fiery Law
The verse says that God shined forth from Mount Paran with ten thousands of saints having a fiery law on their right hand. This was exactly what happened during the conquest of Mecca when Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) came as a conqueror to Mecca after 13 years of persecution in Mecca and 6 years of fighting Muslims in Medina. He finally came to Mecca and purified the Kaaba the house of God from the idols that were built around it and shining Mecca again with the light of Islam. Before Muslims entered Mecca, Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) wanted to show the people of Mecca the power of the Muslim army, so he ordered all the army to kindle fire at night. There were 10,000 men each one holding a flame fulfilling

the Biblical prophecy: “And he came from the ten thousands of holy ones: At his right hand was a fiery law for them.”
Habakkuk, Teman and Paran
Also what proves that Paran is not Sinai in that case is that nothing happened there, even the great nation God promised Ishmael with (Genesis 21:21) was certainly in Arabia not Sinai, where in Mecca, the revelation came to Muhammad ﷺ and since then Arabs became a great nation through Islam, the religion of God, that’s why the prophecy was mentioned again in Habakkuk:
Habakkuk 3:3 God came from Teman, And the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, And the earth was full of his praise. 4 And his brightness was as the light; He had rays coming forth from his hand; And there was the hiding of his power. 5 Before him went the pestilence, And fiery bolts went forth at his feet.
According to Strong’s Bible Dictionary, Teman is the South:
H8486 tay-mawn’, tay-mawn’
Denominative from H3225; the south (as being on the right hand of a person facing the east): – south (side, -ward, wind). (Source here)
And that’s what Darby’s translation gives:
(DRB) God will come from the south, and the holy one from mount Pharan: His glory covered the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise.
Arabia is well-known to be in the South of Palestine. This answers the objection that the context of Deuteronomy 33 is not talking about a prophecy, as verse 2 was just an introduction, and then it talked about the blessing of Israel throughout the chapter, so emphasizing this point again in Habakkuk proves that it was a prophecy.

Miracles of Prophet Muhammad[SAW]
Muslims believe that God sent many prophets throughout history to guide humanity. They taught people about the pure creed of belief in the One God, ways to worship Him and how to lead righteous lives keeping in mind our purpose in life. The prophets also informed humanity of future events and things unseen, such as the Day of Resurrection and the life hereafter.
The prophets were all outstanding examples of honesty and righteousness, known for their pure character even before being tasked with prophethood. Therefore, their claims about the unseen could be trusted due to their reputations as being the most trustworthy of men.In addition,God granted them miracles to remove any doubts that they were sent by God.These miracles were clearly impossible for any human being to perform without divine intervention, many of which are mentioned in the Quran, the holy book of Islam. One famous example is the splitting of the Red Sea, which allowed Moses and the Children of Israel to flee from the Pharaoh’s army.
A key point in understanding the concept of miracles in Islam is that they all are a result of God’s power and permission, and not that of human beings. God mentions this several times in the Quran, such as in Jesus’ statement to his people:“.I have come to you with a sign from your Lord:I will make the shape of a bird for you out of clay,then breathe into it and, with God’s permission,it will become a real bird;I will heal the blind and the leper, and bring the dead back to life with God’s permission…”(Quran 3:49)
The final prophet, Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was given many miracles throughout his life as well,and some of these are mentioned below.
Splitting the Moon
One of the most dramatic miracles took place in Mecca when the disbelievers once challenged Muhammad to perform a miracle. He was inspired by God to point to the moon, which split into two completely separate halves. It remained that way for some time, before eventually converging back together. The disbelievers couldn’t believe their eyes, calling it ‘magic’. However, this miraculous supernatural event was a crystal-clear sign that Muhammad Was indeed a prophet of God.
Isra and Mairaj
Isra refers to the night journey Muhammad undertook with the Angel Gabriel, traveling from Mecca to Jerusalem shortly before his migration to Medina. This was a miraculous event because it was humanly impossible to travel this distance in such a short period at the time. From Jerusalem, Muhammad ascended to the heavens in what is called Mairaj where he held communion with God. By the time Muhammad returned to Mecca, it was still night.
When he told his fellow Meccans about his journey, people laughed. However, when Abu Bakr, a close companion and the first caliph, was confronted with this news by a mocking crowd, he replied, “If he says so, then it must be true. And where is the wonder of it? He tells me revelations come to him from Heaven to earth in one hour of day or night, and I know him to be speaking the truth.” Muhammad also described the caravans he had overtaken on the way home, where they were, and when they might arrive in Mecca – each arrived as he had predicted and their details matched his descriptions as well.
Food
Once one of Muhammad's companions invited him and a few others to a meal that could feed a small group. The prophet accepted the invitation and, to the host’s dismay, called all thousand of his companions to join him in the meal. Yet, Muhammad Personally served all of them from the small dish until each one ate his fill. In the end, the tray of food remained just as full as it was at the beginning of the meal. This was an amazing blessing and a clear miracle from God, which happened many times during his life.
Water
When Muhammad And his companions were once travelling, their water supply ran out.According to one of his companions, the Prophet had a small container of water in which he put his hand and the “water started

spouting out between his fingers like springs. So we drank and performed ablution (ritual cleansing) … even if we had been one hundred thousand, that water would have been sufficient for us. Anyhow, we were 1500.” Events similar to this also occurred many times during Muhammad's life.
Healing the Sick
Muhammad miraculously healed others as well. He treated his cousin Ali when he was inflicted with an eye infection. One of his companions said, “The Prophet spat in his eyes and invoked good on him, and be became all right as if he had no ailment.”
Prayers Immediately Answered
During a period of severe drought in Arabia, one of Muhammad's companions beseeched him to ask God to send rain. The prophet raised his hands in prayer, and within moments a cloud appeared in the horizon, coming in their direction. One of his companions stated, “When it came in the middle of the sky, it spread and then rained. By God! We could not see the sun for a week.” After seven days of nonstop rain, a companion of Muhammad implored him to ask God to stop the rain, as the constant downpour was overwhelming. The prophet raised his hands in supplication and moments later, the sun gradually began to appear as the clouds parted, moving away from the area.
Tree Trunk Crying
The Prophet used to stand on a tree trunk to deliver the Friday sermons. A companion of his offered to build a proper pulpit for him and the prophet obliged. However, when he used it for the first time, a loud crying sound came from the tree trunk. Many of Muhammad's companions witnessed this first-hand and heard what sounded like a child crying. The prophet descended from the pulpit and embraced it until its weeping eventually subsided. He then explained to his companions, “it was crying for [missing] what it used to hear of religious knowledge given near it.” The ability to stir emotions in plants and animals, including an inanimate object as in this instance, was one of many miracles granted to Muhammad.
Foretelling the Future
In addition to performing physical miracles, Muhammad also foretold many future events. For example, he mentioned a time would come when shepherds will compete in constructing tall buildings. This prophecy is clearly evident for all to observe as it manifests itself in the Arab Gulf today. Until just a century ago, the Arabs in the Gulf region were in fact living a more primitive “shepherd” lifestyle, as compared to the rest of the world. This all changed with the arrival of massive oil wealth in the mid 20th century, with much of the resulting wealth being invested in erecting skyscrapers across the region. There are many other similar miracles performed by Muhammad Throughout his life that attest to his extraordinary connection with God and the truth of his prophethood. However, hearing about these events later isn’t as impactful as experiencing them in person.
Out of God’s mercy and justice, He gave Muhammad, His final messenger to humanity, an everlasting miracle which could be appreciated by all people until the end of time. That miracle is His final revelation,the Quran.
Everlasting Miracle
One of the miraculous aspects of the Quran is its unparalleled literary excellence. At the time of the Quran’s revelation in the 7th century CE, Arabic literature was at its peak. Unlike the world’s great civilizations, which built impressive monuments or established vast empires, the Arabs prided themselves in their literary excellence.
Muhammad wasn’t known to have composed poetry and was actually illiterate. However, when God tasked him with prophethood at the age of 40 and began revealing the Quran to him, the Arabs were mesmerized by the supreme eloquence and unique rhythmic style of its verses. It didn’t fit traditional poetic forms nor was it in the category of prose. It was completely different and far superior to any literary work known to them. This wasn’t just the opinion of Muhammad's followers; even one of his harshest enemies, al-Waleed ibn al-Mugheerah, reluctantly admitted to the Quran’s greatness: “By God! The words brought forth
