First, all praise and thanks to God Almighty – Allah. It is with great honor that I present this humble work to my reader, hoping that God Almighty will help him to benefit from it, and makes him and me among those who know the truth and among those who are guided.

Following the tradition of prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in thanking people who did us a favor, I would like to thank many people who I benefited from in completing this work, and possibly my success in this work was a result of their prayers to God Almighty to help me to do so.

Ina so in bayyana godiya da yabo ga iyayena masu daraja, waɗanda suka yi mini babban alheri, ta hanyar renona da kula da ni babu gajiyawa. Ina kuma miƙa godiyata ga matata mai aminci, saboda goyon bayanta na ci gaba, taimakonta, da kuma tsayawarta a gefena a lokacin kammala wannan aiki.

I wish to express my appreciation and gratitude to my noble parents, who have done the greatest favor for me, in continuously fostering and cherishing me. I also extend my appreciation to my faithful wife, for her continuous support, help, and for her standing beside me during the completion of this work.

I would also wholeheartedly like to express my thanks and gratitude to the translation team, who played a major role in enabling this book to reach the English speaking reader, Mr. WALEED FADHL ALLAH, the translator, and Mr. ALI QASSEM, the proofreader.

Finally, I express my thanks and appreciation to Dr. JOHN EALES, who has done me a great favor by doing the final proofreading, even though he is of a different faith, he managed to do so, for he concerned about searching for the truth, and following scientific methods in study and discussion.

Ina godiya da yabo ga dukkan 'yan'uwana, abokaina da abokan aikina, waɗanda suka taka kowace irin rawa wajen kammala wannan littafi.

My thanks and appreciations I also extend to all my brothers, friends and colleagues, who played any role in the completion of this book.

Munqidh Bin Mahmoud Assaqqar, PhD Praise to Allah the cherisher and sustainer of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon all of His messengers and may the best of blessings and peace be upon our prophet Muhammad.

Babu shakka cewa annabta na Annabinmu Muhammadu ﷺ na ɗaya daga cikin manyan ayyuka biyu da Musulmi ke ɗauka zuwa ga ɗan Adam.

There is no doubt that the prophet-hood of our prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is one of two important tasks that the Muslim is carrying to humanity.

Musulmi sun yi imani cewa tabbatar da annabcin Muhammad ﷺ na ɗaya daga cikin muhimman ayyuka a addininsu; saboda haka, wajibi ne a kan Musulmi su gabatar da wannan hujja da shaida.

Muslims believe that to prove the prophet-hood of Muhammad (PBUH) is one of many essential tasks in their religion; therefore, it is a compulsory duty for Muslims to present this evidence and proof.

Akwai hanyoyi masu yawa kuma daban-daban na tabbatar da hakan, amma mafi muhimmanci shi ne fahimtar annabce-annabcen da annabawan da suka gabata suka yi, waɗanda suka yi hasashen tare da tabbatar da zuwan annabi na ƙarshe ga ɗan adam, da kuma ikonsa, domin a sake kafa addinin da Allah Maɗaukakin Sarki yake yarda da shi har zuwa Ranar Alƙiyama. Note: The rules require "God" rather than "Allah", so the translation uses "Allah" only where it is part of a fixed Hausa term; please double-check that wording against your style guide.

There are many and various ways to prove that, but the most important way is by understanding the prophecies given by the previous prophets that prophesize and confirms the arrival and the authority of a final prophet to humanity, in order to re-establish the religion that God Almighty accepts until the Day of Judgment.

Dalilin da ya sa waɗannan annabce-annabcen suke da muhimmanci sosai, kuma ya sa Musulmi suke damuwa game da su, shi ne cewa suna cikin littattafan tsarkaka na Yahudawa da Kiristoci, kuma sun nuna zuwan Muhammad ﷺ shekaru aru-aru da suka wuce, a zamani daban-daban.

The reason that these prophecies are most important, and why Muslims are concerned, is that they exist in the Jewish and Christian sacred writings, and that they indicated the coming of Muhammad (PBUH) centuries ago and in various eras.

Yahudawa da Kiristoci sun yarda da kasancewar waɗannan annabce-annabce, kuma sun tabbatar da cewa suna nuna zuwan "annabi na ƙarshe" ko "babban annabi"; duk da haka, suna ci gaba da jaddada cewa shi mutum ne wanda ya fito daga zuriyar Isra'ilawa. Kiristoci suna da'awar cewa shi ne Yesu (Alaihis-salam) ɗan Maryam, yayin da Yahudawa kuwa har yanzu suna jiran zuwansa.

Jews and Christians acknowledge the existence of these prophecies and affirm that they indicate the coming of "the final prophet" or "the great prophet"; however, they still insist that he is a man who is a descendant from the children of Israel. The Christians claim that he is Jesus (PBUH) son of Mary, while the Jews are still expecting him.

Muna nufin mu tabbatar anan cewa shi, Annabin da ake jira, Muhammad ne ﷺ, ba kuma wani daga cikin annabawan da suka gabace shi ba, tsira da amincin Allah su tabbata a kansu duka.

We aim here to prove that he, the expected prophet, is Muhammad (PBUH) and not any of the previous prophets peace be upon them all.

Game da littattafan da suke ɗauke da waɗannan annabce-annabcen, mun riga mun yi bayani a kan sharuɗɗansu da amincinsu a cikin sauran littattafan wannan jerin. Amfani da waɗannan littattafai a matsayin tushen magana ba don cika su ba ne; a maimakon haka, yunkuri ne kawai na neman wasu alamomi daga annabawan da suka gabata tsakanin layukan rubutunsu. Mu Musulmi muna yin imani da waɗancan alamomi kuma ba ma musanta su, domin suna dacewa da abin da muke imani da shi.

Regarding the books that contain these prophecies, we have explained their conditions and credibility in other books of this series, by using these books as a reference, it is not to complement them; however, it is merely an attempt to search between the lines for some traces from the previous prophets. We as Muslims believe in those traces and we do not deny them, because they meet an agreement with what we believe.

Annabi Muhammadu ﷺ ya sanar da mu cewa waɗannan littattafai suna ɗauke da wani gaskiya, ya ce:

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) brought to our attention that these books contain some truth, He said:

{Idan ka tambaye su game da wani abu, idan sun gaya maka gaskiya kada ka kira shi karya, kuma idan sun gaya maka karya kada ka yarda da shi}. 1

{When you ask them about anything if they tell you the truth do not call it a lie, and when they tell you lies do not believe in it}. 1

Wato a wata ma'ana, idan littattafan da suka gabata sun ƙunshi bayanai waɗanda suka dace da ayoyin Alkur'ani mai girma da sunnar Annabi Muhammadﷺ, to wannan hujja ce cewa gaskiya ne kuma ba a canza shi ba. "Kafiran sun ce: 'Ba manzo ka ke ba.' Ka ce: 'Isa ya zama shaida tsakanina da ku Allah, da waɗanda suke da ilimin Littafin.'" (Ar-Ra'd: 43).

In other words, if the previous books contain information, that match verses of the Holy Quran, and the tradition of Muhammad (PBUH), then this is proof that, it is true and has not been altered. “The Unbelievers say: "No apostle art thou." Say: "Enough for a witness between me and you is Allah, and such as have knowledge of the Book.” (Al-Ra'd: 43).

Duk da canje-canjen da aka yi wa Littafi Mai Tsarki, har yanzu yana ƙunshe da annabce-annabce da yawa da ke hasashen zuwan "Annabi na Ƙarshe". An yi kusan shekara 2000 tun lokacin da Isa (PBUH) ya zo wannan duniya; duk da haka, waɗannan annabce-annabce ba su cika ba; saboda haka, muna tambaya: yaushe ne zai kasance? Da'awar cewa waɗannan annabce-annabce har yanzu suna nan zuwa, yayin da shekaru ke ci gaba da wucewa, shi ne rage gaskiyar Littafi Mai Tsarki a idanun masu karatunsa.

In spite of the alterations made to the Holy Bible, it still contains many prophecies that foretell the arrival of the "Final prophet". It has been almost 2000 years since Jesus (PBUH) came to this earth; yet, these prophecies have not been fulfilled; therefore, we ask when will it be? To claim that these prophecies are still to come, as the years go by, is to reduce the credibility of the Holy Bible to its readers.

Saboda haka, muna gayyatarku da gaskiya da gaskiya don ku duba annabce-annabce da ke cikin Littafi Mai Tsarki, kuma ku sake karanta shi a hankali, kuna la'akari da bayyanar Musulunci da Annabi Muhammad ﷺ, kuma mun tabbata cewa hakan zai bayyana gaskiyar imani da annabcin Muhammad ﷺ. Ba mu faɗa haka kawai ba, a'a, gaskiya ne na tarihi wanda duk wanda ya yi nazarin rayuwar wannan annabi ya yarda da shi.

Therefore, we send an honest true invitation to examine the prophecies in the Holy Bible, and to read it again carefully considering the appearance of Islam and the prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and we are confident that this will uncover the truth of the belief of the prophet-hood of Muhammad (PBUH). We do not just simply say that, but it is a historical fact admitted by all those who have studied the life of this prophet.

Hercules, Sarkin Roma, ya amince da annabcin Annabi Muhammad ﷺ. Lokacin da ya karɓi wasiƙa daga Annabi Muhammad ﷺ, yana kiran sa zuwa ga Musulunci, sai ya aika da manzo zuwa Roma yana neman bayani game da "Annabi na Ƙarshe". Lokacin da Hercules ya karɓi amsar tambayarsa, sai ya ce wa mutanensa:

Hercules, the Roman king, had acknowledged the prophet-hood of prophet Muhammad (PBUH). When he received a letter from prophet Muhammad (PBUH), inviting him to embrace Islam, then he sent a messenger to Rome inquiring about the "Final Prophet". When Hercules received the response to his inquiry, he said to his people:

"Ya ku mutanen Rum, na nemi ku taru don labari mai daɗi. Na karɓi wasiƙa daga wannan mutumin, yana gayyatata in shiga addininsa, kuma da Allah ina shaida cewa shi ne annabin da muke jira, shi ne wanda aka ambata a littattafanmu masu tsarki, don haka mu bi shi mu yi imani da saƙonsa domin mu sami ceto a rayuwarmu da kuma lahira."

"O' Romans, I have requested you to gather for good news. I received a letter from this man, inviting me to join his faith, and by God I testify that he is the prophet we've been waiting for, and he is the one mentioned in our holy books, so let us follow him and believe in his message to be saved in our life and the hereafter" .

Labarin da yake a cikin riwayar Bukhari kamar haka:

The same story mentioned in Bukhari’s narration is as follows:

Hercules ya ce, "Ya ku Romawa, idan kuna neman nasara da shiriya, kuma idan kuna son daular ku ta tsaya da karfi, to ku yi imani da wannan Annabi." Nan take suka yi gaggawar zuwa kofofi, sai kawai suka tarar da kofofin a kulle. Lokacin da Hercules ya ga haka, ya umarci mutane su koma, sannan ya ce, "Abin da na fada na yi shi ne kawai don in gwada imaninku, kuma na ga abin da kuka yi." Sai suka yi masa sujada cikin jin dadi. 1

Hercules said, "O' Romans, if you are seeking success and guidance and for your empire to hold strong, then you should believe in this prophet, so immediately they rushed to the gates but to find the gates locked. When Hercules saw that he commanded the people to return, and then he said, I said what I said only to test your faith, and I saw what you did. Then they prostrated to him with satisfaction". 1

Hercules bai bi shaidar da ya bayar ba, kuma bai karbi Musulunci ba, kamar yadda yawancin mutane suke yi, wadanda suka san gaskiya amma suka musanta ta, kuma ba su taba bin hanyarta ba. Sarki Negus na Habasha kuwa ya yi imani da Annabi ﷺ.

Hercules did not adhere to his testimony and did not embrace Islam, just like many who know the truth but deny it and never follow its path. The Negus king of Abyssinia believed in the prophet (PBUH).

Ya ce wa firistocin Masarautarsa:- "Ya ku firistoci da mabiya, abin da su (Musulmai) suke fada game da ɗan Maryam, bai wuce abin da ku ke fada ba. Ku manzannin Muhammad ﷺ an yi maraba da ku a nan, haka kuma shi ne. Ina shaida cewa shi (Muhammad ﷺ) manzon Allah ne..." Correction: following the rules, "God" must be rendered as the Hausa word for God, not "Allah." Here is the corrected translation: Ya ce wa firistocin Masarautarsa:- "Ya ku firistoci da mabiya, abin da su (Musulmai) suke fada game da ɗan Maryam, bai wuce abin da ku ke fada ba. Ku manzannin Muhammad ﷺ an yi maraba da ku a nan, haka kuma shi ne. Ina shaida cewa shi (Muhammad ﷺ) manzon Ubangiji ne, kuma shi ne wanda Yesu ya yi wa bushara da zuwansa. Idan ba a ce ni da wannan Masarauta ba, da na tafi wurin annabin, na ɗauki takalmansa da kaina."

He said to the priests of his Kingdom:- "O' you priests and monks, what they say (the Muslims) about the son of Mary is not more than what you say, you messengers of Muhammad are welcomed here and so he is. I bear witness that he (Muhammad) is the messenger of God, and that he is the one Jesus gave glad tidings of his coming. And if I wasn't occupied with this kingdom I would go to the prophet and personally carry his shoes". 2

The reversion of tens of well-known Christians and Jews to Islam such as; Al-Hassan Bin Ayoub, Zyadah Alnasb Alrasy, priest/ Abdul Ahaad Dawood, Ibrahim Khalil, Moris Bokay and many more, assured the glaring fact about the existence of these prophecies in the Holy Bible.

A wannan bincike, za mu kira annabin da ake jira da suna "annabin da ake jira", ko "almasihun da ake jira", bisa ga binciken da aka yi suna na Dr. Ahmad Hejazy Al-Saqqa, wanda ya yi bincike mai ban mamaki a kan wannan batu, kuma saboda shi ne kalmar da Yahudawa ke amfani da ita wajen nuni ga annabin da aka yi alkawarinsa.

In this research, we will name the coming prophet as "the expected prophet", or "the expected messiah", following the celebrated studies of Dr. Ahmad Hejazy Al-Saqqa, who has amazingly researched this subject, and because it is the term used by the Jews to indicate the promised prophet.

I ask God Almighty to open our hearts to get to know this prophet (Muhammad, PBUH), and to bless us with the gift of believing in him, and to be among the people who believe in him on the Day of Judgment, God is Almighty and is capable of making it happen.
