We have seen that Jesus (PBUH) did not claim that he was the expected prophet. Did Muhammad (PBUH) inform us that he was that promised prophet as the previous prophets stated?

Annabce-annabcen zuwan Muhammadﷺ, waɗanda muke samu a littattafan annabawa, na ɗaya daga cikin muhimman batutuwan da Alƙur'ani da hadisan Muhammadﷺ suka jaddada. Alƙur'ani ya ambata cewa kowane annabi ya tunatar da mutanensa game da annabin da zai zo.

The prophecies of the coming of Muhammad, which we find in the books of the prophets, are one of many important issues emphasized by the Quran and the traditions of Muhammad. The Quran mentions that every prophet reminded his people about the coming prophet.

Waɗannan annabawan sun yi alkawari cewa idan Muhammad ﷺ ya zo, dukansu za su yi imani da shi. {Kuma ka tuna lokacin da Allah ya karɓi alkawarin Annabawa, yana cewa: "Abin da na ba ku na Littafi da Hikima (fahimtar dokokin Allah, da sauransu), sa'an nan kuma za a zo muku da wani Manzo (Muhammad ﷺ) mai tabbatar da abin da yake tare da ku; dole ne ku yi imani da shi kuma ku taimake shi." Allah ya ce: "Shin kun yarda da wannan kuma za ku karɓi alkawarina (wanda na ɗaura da ku)?" Suka ce: "Mun yarda." Ya ce: "To, ku yi shaida; kuma ni ina tare da ku daga cikin masu shaida (a kan haka)."} (Ali Imran: 81).

These prophets had vowed that when Muhammad comes, they would all believe in him. {And (remember) when Allâh took the Covenant of the Prophets, saying: "Take whatever I gave you from the Book and Hikmah (understanding of the Laws of Allâh, etc.), and afterwards there will come to you a Messenger (Muhammad) confirming what is with you; you must, then, believe in him and help him." Allâh said: "Do you agree (to it) and will you take up My Covenant (which I conclude with you)?" They said: "We agree." He said: "Then bear witness; and I am with you among the witnesses (for this)."} (Al-Emran: 81).

Ali, ɗan Abu Talib, (Allah ya yarda da shi) ya ce: (Allah ya ɗauki alkawarin Annabawa, ya ce: "Adam, kuma daga baya za a zo muku da wani Manzo (Muhammad ﷺ), lallai ku yi imani da shi kuma ku taimake shi.") 1

Ali, son of Abu Talib, (May Allah be pleased with him) said: (Allah took the Covenant of the Prophets, Adam and afterwards there will come to you a Messenger (Muhammad) must, then, believe in him and help him). 1

Daga cikin waɗannan annabawa, waɗanda suka yi annabcin annabi na gaba, akwai Annabi Ibrahim (PBUH), lokacin da ya yi addu'a da cewa: {"Ya Ubangijinmu! Ka aiko musu da Manzo daga cikinsu (kuma lalle Allah ya amsa addu'arsa ta hanyar aiko Muhammadﷺ), wanda zai karanta musu ayoyinka, ya koya musu Littafi da Hikima, kuma ya tsarkake su. Lalle kai ne Mai iko, Mai hikima."} (Al-Baqara: 129).

Among these prophets, who gave prophecies of the next prophet, was prophet Abraham (PBUH), when he said the prayer {"Our Lord! Send amongst them a Messenger of their own (and indeed Allâh answered their invocation by sending Muhammad Peace be upon him ), who shall recite unto them Your Verses and instruct them in the Book (this Qur'ân) and Al-Hikmah (full knowledge of the Islamic laws and jurisprudence or wisdom or Prophet-hood, etc.), and sanctify them. Verily! You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."} (Al Baqara: 129).

Jesus (Isa) ya ce: {Ka tuna lokacin da Isa ɗan Maryam ya ce: "Ya ku Ƴaƴan Isra'ila! Ni manzon Allah ne zuwa gare ku, mai tabbatar da abin da yake gabana na Attaurat, kuma mai yi muku bushara da wani manzo da zai zo bayana, sunansa Ahmad." Amma da ya zo musu da hujjoji bayyananne, suka ce: "Wannan sihiri ne a fili."} (Surah As-Saff: 6).

Jesus (PBUH) {And (remember) when 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), said: "O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allâh unto you, confirming the Taurât [(Torah) which came] before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me. Whose name shall be Ahmed. But when he (Ahmed i.e. Muhammad) came to them with clear proofs, they said: "This is plain magic."} (Al Saff :6).

Annabi Muhammad ﷺ ya ce: "Allah ya lissafta ni a matsayin annabi na ƙarshe kuma na ƙarshe, tun lokacin da Adam yake a cikin laka tasa, kuma zan sanar da ku farkon lamarina. Ni ne amsar addu'ar Ibrahim, da annabcin Isa, da mafarkin da mahaifiyata ta gani a lokacin da ta haife ni, inda wani haske mai haske sosai ya fito daga gare ta, wanda ya haskaka fadojin Siriya." 2

Muhammad (PBUH) said, (God considers me the last and final prophet, since Adam is twisted in his clay, and I will inform you of my beginning. I am the answer of Abraham's prayer, and the prophecy of Jesus, and the dream that my mother saw when she delivered me, as a very bright light came out of her, where the palaces of Syria shined). 2

Ba shakka, babban kulawar annabawa ga "annabi na ƙarshe" ya sa suka yi magana a kansa a cikin rubuce-rubucensu, da siffarsa da yanayinsa.

Naturally, the prophets’ great attention to the "final prophet” should make them talk about him in their writings, his description and conditions.

The Holy Quran confirmed that, these prophecies exist in the books of the Christians and Jews. {Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write (i. e.

So those who believe in him (Muhammad), honour him, help him, and follow the light (the Qur'ân) which has been sent down with him, it is they who will be successful.} (Al-Aaraf: 157).

Allah, informing us about the existence of these prophecies about prophet Muhammad (PBUH), his nation and his companions in the Torah and the bible, said: {Muhammad is the Messenger of Allâh, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking Bounty from Allâh and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (foreheads) from the traces of (their) prostration (during prayers). This is their description in the Taurât (Torah). But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a (sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, it then becomes thick, and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers that He may enrage the disbelievers with them.

Allâh has promised those among them who believe (i.e. all those who follow Islamic Monotheism, the religion of Prophet Muhammad till the Day of Resurrection) and do righteous good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward (i.e.

The Noble Quran did not tell in detail about the description of Muhammad (PBUH) and his conditions mentioned in the books of the Jews and Christians. However, it informs us about one important fact, that the Jews and the Christians know this messenger of God as they know their own children. He was mentioned many times by their prophets and through their books. {Those to whom We have given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognize him (i.e. Muhammad as a Messenger of Allâh, and they also know that there is no Ilah (God) but Allâh and Islâm is Allâh's Religion), as they recognize their own sons. Those who destroy themselves will not believe. (Tafsir At-Tabarî)} (Al-Anaam: 20)

Babu shakka, wannan ilimi yana samuwa ne daga yawan ko kuma bayyanar annabce-annabcen da aka ambata a cikin littattafansu game da shi ﷺ.

With no doubt, this knowledge comes from the number of or the clarity of the prophecies mentioned in their books about him (PBUH).

Za mu yi ƙoƙarin taɓa wasu daga cikin waɗannan annabce-annabcen a cikin shafuka masu zuwa, muna fatan za mu iya bayyana sauye-sauyen da suke shiga cikin waɗannan littattafai, tare da guje wa yawancin rashin fahimtar da Kiristoci ke fuskanta yayin ƙoƙarin fahimtar waɗannan annabce-annabce.

We will try to touch some of these prophecies in the following pages, hoping that we can succeed in clarifying the alterations that come in these books, avoiding many of the misunderstandings that happen to Christians trying to understand these prophecies.

Ibrahim (AS) ya bar ƙasar Iraƙi yana nufin ƙasa mai albarka, ƙasar Falasɗinu. Attaura ta ambata cewa yana da shekara saba'in da biyar, kuma bai da 'ya'ya. Ya tafi bayan Allah ya ba shi labari mai daɗi, ya ce: "Zan mai da kai al'umma babba, zan sa muku albarka, in sa sunanka ya girma, domin ka zama albarka… kuma ta wurinka dukan iyalan duniya za su sami albarka." (Farawa: 12/2-3).

Abraham (PBUH) left of the land of Iraq heading to the blessed land, the land of Palestine. The Torah mentioned that he was seventy-five years old, and he had no children. He left after God had given him good news and said: "And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing…..and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." (Genesis: 12/2-3).

A ƙasar Falasdinu, Hajara (baiwar Saratu) ta yi ciki da ɗanta Isma'ila (AS). Attaurat ta ambata kishin Saratu ga Hajara saboda ta haifi yaro, alhali Saratu ba ta haihu ba ko samun zuriya har zuwa lokacin.

In the land of Palestine, Hagar (Sarah's servant) became pregnant with her son Ishmael (PBUH). The Torah mentions Sarah's jealousy of Hagar for having a child, while Sarah was deprived of children and offspring until that time.

A lokacin, Saratu ta wulakanta Hagar, sai Hagar ta gudu daga wurin ubangijiyarta. "Mala'ikan Ubangiji kuma ya ce mata, 'Ga shi, kina da ciki, za ki haifi ɗa, za ki kira sunansa Isma'il, domin Ubangiji ya ji wahalarki. Zai zama kamar jakin daji a cikin mutane; hannunsa zai kasance a kan kowa, hannun kowa kuma a kansa, zai zauna a gaban dukan 'yan'uwansa.'" (Farawa 16:11-12). Mala'ikan ya yi mata bushara da wani babban ɗa da zai rinjayi kowa, amma wani lokaci sai al'amarin ya juya zuwa akasin haka, shi kuma ya zama wanda kowa zai rinjaya.

At that time, Sarah humiliated Hagar, and Hagar had to escape from her mistress "And the angel of the LORD said to her, “Behold, you are pregnant and shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has listened to your affliction. He shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen." (Genesis: 16/11-12), the angel gave her good news of a great son who will dominate over everyone, but sometimes it will be the opposite of that, and he will be dominated by everyone.

Hajara ta haifi ɗanta Isma'il (AS), shi ne babban ɗan Ibrahim. "Ibram yana da shekara tamanin da shida lokacin da Hajara ta haifa wa Ibram Isma'il." (Farawa: 16/16).

Hagar gave birth to her son Ishmael (PBUH), he was the eldest of Abraham's children "Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram." (Genesis: 16/16).
