PART TWO
The Truth About Him
Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be
upon him) the son of Abdullah, was born in Makkah
around the year 570 C.E. He was known by his people as
Al-Amin (the trustworthy one).
When Muhammad reached the age of 40, the angel
Gabriel came to him with revelation. Muhammad was
first ordered to instruct his immediate family to Islam,
including his wife Khadija, and eventually it was revealed
to him that he should begin delivering the message to all
mankind. In the next years of his life, he communicated
the message of Allah (God) to others, set an excellent
example and was a perfect role model for humanity. In
the year 632, Prophet Muhammad departed from this
world at the age of sixty-three.
The Prophet's mosque in M adinah
Prophet Muhammad (may
God's blessings and peace be
upon him) is called "the Seal of
the Prophets". He was the final
prophet and was sent to confirm
all the truth that was revealed
before him, including the origi
nal Gospel of Jesus.
The Glorious Qur’an does testify that “Muhammad is
the Messenger of Allah, and Seal of the prophets" (33:40).
Confirming the link between him and Jesus, Prophet
Muhammad mentioned, “If a man believes in Jesus and
then believes in me [Muhammad], he will get a double
reward."
Also, Prophet Muhammad stated, “I am the nearest of
all the people to Jesus, the son of Mary; for there was no
prophet between me and him [Jesus], ”
These prophetic sayings show us how Muhammad
honored Jesus (may Allah's blessings and peace be
upon them). This was a prophecy which Jesus made in
the Bible. I will present it after a while.
HIS GREAT PERSONALITY
Muhammad, from his childhood, through his youth,
through his prophethood until his death, has been seen
by fair people, throughout history, as a special and great
personality in his unique character and morals. He was
merciful, honest, sincere, kind, and humble. Every detail
of his private life and public utterances has been
accurately and authentically documented and faithfully
preserved up to the present day.
He was a prophet, a messenger, a religious teacher,
a social reformer, a moral guide, a leader, a statesman,
a faithful friend, a wonderful companion, a devoted
husband, and a loving father.
In this regard, Ramakrishna Rao, an Indian Professor
of Philosophy, in his booklet, Muhammad: The Prophet
of Islam, calls him the "perfect model for human life”.
Prof. Rao clarifies:
The p e rs o n a lity o f M u h a m m a d , it is m o s t d if f ic u lt to

Historically, during a short period of about twenty
three years of his prophethood, he changed the complete
Arabian peninsula...
<d From paganism and idolatry to submission to One God...
<d From tribal quarrels and wars to solidarity and cohesion...
o From drunkenness and debauchery to sobriety and piety...
<s From lawlessness and anarchy to disciplined living...
<d From utter moral bankruptcy to the highest standards
of moral excellence.
Human history has never known such a complete
transformation of a society or a place before or since -
and imagine... all these unbelievable wonders in just
over two decades.

WHAT THE W ORLD'S SCRIPTURES
SAID ABOUT HIM
While it is not the main theme of this booklet to detail
all the prophecies in other religious scriptures foretelling
the coming of Prophet Muhammad, I should mention that
Muslim scholars have noted such in the Parsi, Hindu,
Buddhist, Jewish, and Christian scriptures.
Indeed, Muhammad in other scriptures is a very
interesting topic which has been thoroughly discussed
in many books and articles, as well as on the internet.
(To get more information about this topic, you may go
to Dr. Zakir Naik's website, www.irf.net. or just search
the Internet typing these words: "Prophet Muhammad",
"Muhammad in the Hindu scriptures", "Muhammad in
the Bible", etc.).
Among the books, for example, A. H. Vidyarthi and U.
AN have written a book entitled Muhammad in Parsi,
Hindu, and Buddhist Scriptures.In his wonderful book, Muhammad in the Bible,
Professor Abdul-Ahad Dawud (formerly the Reverend
David Benjamin) comments on the Bible foretelling the
advent of the prophet who
is "like unto thee Moses",
explaining:
We read the fo llow ing words in the
Book o f Deuteronom y, chap te r 18,
verse 18 : “I w ill raise them up a
Prophet from am ong the ir brethren,
like unto thee; and I w ill p u t m y
words in his m ou th .” I f these words
do no t app ly to M uham m ad, they
s till rem ain unfulfilled. Jesus h im se lf never c la im ed to be the
Prophet a lluded to... Jesus, as is believed by his Church, will
appear as a Judge and no t as a law-giver; bu t the prom ised
one has to com e w ith a “fiery la w "in “his righ t ha n d ”. Deut.33:2
12
Muslim scholars assert that this prophecy applies to
none other than Muhammad. Moses and Muhammad
are alike in many ways. They both have the same first
letter of their names. They are alike in their natural
births, marriages, missions, and natural deaths. Both
were prophets, rulers, leaders, and statesmen. Both
brought a "fiery law". On the other hand, Jesus is unlike
Moses in several matters. His birth, mission, and end
are unlike those of Moses. Jesus did not get married; nor
did he; rule his people or fight in wars like Moses.
It is worth mentioning that “a prophet from among
their brethren” refers to a prophet from the brothers of
the Israelites (i.e., the Ishmaelites).
In the New Testament of the Bible, Jesus also
prophesied the coming of another Comforter. Jesus
declared, “and He shall give you another Comforter”
(John 14:16).
In addition, Jesus said:
Nevertheless I te ll you the tru th ; It is fo r yo u r good th a t I
go away: fo r i f I go n o t away, the C om forte r w ill n o t com e
unto you; b u t i f I depart, I w ill send h im un to you. A nd
when he is com e, he w ill reprove the w orld o f sin, and o f
righteousness, and o f judgm en t... I have ye t m any th ings
Have You Discovered the Truth About Him?
to say unto you, b u t ye cann o t bea r them now. How be it
when he, the S p irit o f tru th , is come, he w ill gu ide you in to
a ll tru th : fo r he sha ll n o t speak o f h im se lf; bu t w hatsoever
he sha ll hear, [ th a t] sha ll he speak: and he w ill show you
th ings to come. He sha ll g lo rify me... (John 16 :7 -14 )
S o , w h o is t h i s “ o t h e r C o m f o r t e r ”
t o c o m e a f t e r J e s u s ?
Indeed, Muslim scholars state that it is only
Muhammad who completely fulfilled Jesus' prophecy for
many reasons. To mention some:
9 Jesus’ reference to “another Comforter” cannot
apply to the Holy Spirit since the Holy Spirit (part of the
Holy Trinity - God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit, according to the Christians who believe
in it) was there before and during the mission of Jesus,
according to the Bible, while the Comforter was to
come after.
9 Moreover, Muhammad came to warn people of sin and
command them to do righteousness. He was a ruler
and a judge with a “law” in “his right hand”.
• Muhammad guided people to the ultimate truth
concerning the one true God, the truth about the
purpose of this life, the truth about the Hereafter and
eternal life, and many other things.
« He showed us things to come through many prophecies
and miracles given to him by the One who sent
him, Allah (God).
9 Muhammad was a prophet who did not "speak of
himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, [that]
shall he speak". He was the instrument through
whom God revealed His Word, the Glorious Qur’an.
And Muhammad recited God’s Word in the Name of
Allah. The Bible prophesied that “he shall speak in
My name...” (Deut. 18:19). In fact, the chapters of
the Glorious Qur'an are preceded by the phrase, “In
the Name of Allah”.
<d Muhammad and the Glorious Qur'an indeed glorified
Jesus highly. In honor of him, Muslims like to name
their children Esa (Arabic for Jesus).
Furthermore, when the Jews asked John the Baptist who
he was, he denied being the Christ or Elijah or that Prophet.
“...W ho are you? A nd he (John) confessed, I am no t the
Christ. And then they asked him , W hat then? Are you
Elijah? A nd he said, I am not. Are you th a t P rophet? And
he answered, N o .” (John 1 :19 -21 )
Again, Muslim scholars argue that Muhammad is the
one referred to in this Biblical text:
“A re you th a t P roph e t? A n d he answ ered , No". So, who is
that Prophet? Clearly " th a t P roph e t" does not apply to
John the Baptist nor to Jesus the Christ, as John testified
himself.
Therefore, a wise, honest, and sincere seeker of the
truth should objectively ask:
$ Who is that Prophet?& Who is the true Prophet that came after John and
Jesus conveying their original message about the
one true God alone?

WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT HIM
A great deal has been written about the Prophet
Muhammad (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon
him). Below are just some statements said by well-known
figures:
Lamartine (the famous historian) mentioned, “I f
grea tness o f purpose, sm allness o f m eans and ou ts tand ing
resu lts a re the three crite ria o f hum an genius, who could
dare to com pare any g re a t m an in m odern h is tory w ith
M u h a m m a d ? ”
He concluded, "As regards a ll the s tandards by which
H um an G reatness m ay be m easured, we m ay well ask, Is
there any m an g re a te r than he? ”
(Histoire De La Turqvie, Paris 1854 - Vol. II, pp. 276 - 277)
In his book, The 100: A Ranking Of The Most
Influential Persons In History, Michael H. Hart stated:

Mahatma Gandhi pointed out:

Wolfgang Goethe (the famous European poet) be

The Encyclopedia Britannica (Vol. 12) cited:

Thomas Carlyle, in his book, Heroes and Hero-

In a more recent work, John Esposito (a univer
sity professor of religion and international affairs,
Director of the Center for International Studies at the
College of the Holy Cross, and Founding Director of PABT
Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, Georgetown
University, USA) pointed out in his book, Islam: The

He clarified that “M uham m a d was no t the fou n d e r o f

Professor Esposito stressed this fact:

BEAUTIFUL SAYINGS
Do you still remember what was mentioned in Part
One (Just the Tip of the Iceberg) of this book? The
concepts mentioned there are based on the guidance of
the Qur'an and the sayings of Prophet Muhammad.
Below are just some examples of the Prophetic sayings,
to give you a taste of their beauty and sweetness:
9 A goo d word is charity.
9 A s incere sm ile is charity.
• The bes t o f you a re the b es t in character.
• Removing a harm fu l th ing from the path (road) is charity.
• The b es t [aspect] o f fa ith is pa tie nce and to lerance.
• A m an a ske d th e M e sse n g e r o f A lla h : "W hich a sp e c t
o f Is lam is bes t? " He rep lied , "Feed a n d g re e t bo th
those yo u kn o w a n d those you do n o t know ."
Moreover, the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah’s
blessings and peace be upon him) said:
o The C om passiona te One [G od] has m ercy on those
who are m erc ifu l. I f you show m ercy to those who are
on the earth , He Who is in heaven w ill show m ercy
to you.
9 N one o f you tru ly believes un til he w ishes fo r his

9 He who eats his fill wh ile his ne ighbo r goes to bed
w ith ou t food is no t a believer.
9 The pow e rfu l is no t he who knocks the o th e r down,
indeed the po w e rfu l is he who con tro ls h im s e lf in a fit

9 God does n o t ju d g e you acco rd ing to yo u r bod ies and

9 The bes t o f you [is he] who is b es t to his fam ily, and I

9 The best o f you are those who are best to the ir women.
9 The b es t o f Is lam is to behave w ith g e n tle n e ss a n d
to le rance .
9 The bes t peop le a re those m ost bene fic ia l to [o the r]
people. 4
These are just some examples of the Prophetic
wise, wonderful, and golden sayings.
Practicing what he said and taught, Prophet
Muhammad's dealings and actions with others reflected
his special and unique personality in his morals, mercy,
honesty, sincerity, kindness, truthfulness, humbleness,
generosity, forgiveness, patience, and tolerance, as well
as many other great qualities. The stories, examples and
proofs of these magnificent personal attributes of the
final Prophet are too numerous to mention in detail here.
Let us take just one example.
9 After his Makkan opponents rejected him and
disbelieved in his message, Islam...
9 After persecuting and maltreating him, and trying to kill
him many times...
9 After torturing and killing many of his followers and
loved ones...
9 After fighting him and his companions and driving
them out of their homes, properties, and land...
What was the reaction of Muhammad towards his
Makkan enemies when he entered Makkah and liberated
it from idolatry and paganism?
In the wake of the Muhammad's and the Muslims’
great victory and in the climax of their joy, rapture and
happiness at coming back home to the Sacred City of
Makkah - Prophet Muhammad gathered together the
Makkans, who were afraid that he would harm or kill
them in revenge for their past abuse and killing of
Muslims.
Muhammad asked them, 'What do you th in k I am
g o in g to do w ith yo u ? " They answered, "You are a
generous brother and the son of an honorable brother of
ours." Then, the kind, tolerant, generous and merciful
Prophet forgave them, announcing: "No h a rm w ill com e
to you. You m ay go. You a re fre e ."5
<9 Have you ever seen such a scene?Have you ever heard such a story?
d Can you sense the Prophet’s mercy?
Describing this unprecedented historical event, Professor
John Esposito stated:
Eschew ing vengeance a n d the p lu n d e r o f conquest, the
Prophet ins tead accep ted a se ttlem ent, g ra n tin g am nesty
ra th e r than w ie ld ing the sw ord tow ard his fo rm e r enem ies.
For th e ir part, the M eccans converted to Islam, accep ted
M u h a m m a d ’s leadership , and were inco rpora ted w ith in
the um m a (M uslim com m unity).
In contrast, are you aware of what atrocities various
"super-power" nations committed when they have
unjustly attacked, invaded, and tortured others, through
out human history?
Actually, the more we discover about Muhammad's
life, the more we come to realize his excellent conduct
and character, and that he is, indeed, "sent as a mercy
to all peoples" (the Glorious Qur'an, 21:107).
Prophet Muhammad said, “I have been sen t to pe rfec t
the nob le tra its o f cha rac te r.”
Confirming this fact, the Glorious Qur’an reported,
“Indeed, you a re o f a g re a t m ora l cha rac te r." (68 :4 )
PART THREE
V
Conclusions
The one true God (Allah) sent many prophets and messengers including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon them).
The same one true God told us that Muhammad is His last and final Prophet sent to all mankind (Muslims, Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists, Agnostics, etc.).
Islam teaches us to be just, wise, sincere, honest, objective, and open-minded in our search for the truth and when dealing with or judging others.
Searching for the truth should be based on reliable sources and authentic facts. And dealing with or judging others should be performed with justice, positive attitude, dialogue, mutual respect, and clear understanding.
A FINAL THOUGHT!
Concerning those unfair political and religious leaders, writers, historians, and media people who unjustly accuse Islam and all Muslims of terrorism, and claim that Islam was spread by force and the sword, and those sick-minded and ill-hearted folk who depict Allah, the one true God and His last Prophet Muhammad in the worst and ugliest images and cartoons, I wonder:
▲ Is this what is meant by freedom, and freedom of speech - is there not a double-standard being used when dealing with Islam and Muslims? (For example, why are the terms "Christian terrorists" or "Jewish terrorists" never heard, although there is no shortage of atrocities being committed by people of those faiths?
▲ Is any one free to insult, curse, and despise others and their beliefs, or accuse them all of terrorism?
▲ Is this how civilization, democracy, and freedom are taught to the younger generation in schools, colleges, and in society in general?
▲ Is it really the sword of Islam that makes thousands of wise, objective, sincere and open-minded men and women around the world embrace Islam nowadays? (Many books, articles, and websites discuss why and how these brothers and sisters reverted to Islam. For example, I would recommend: Islam Our Choice: Portraits of Modern American Muslim Women - edited by Debra L. Dirks and Stepahanie Parlove. Available on the internet).
