Sebelum kematian Musa (PBUH), beliau menyampaikan khabar gembira kepada Bani Israil, sebagaimana disebut dalam kitab Ulangan: "Inilah berkat yang diucapkan Musa, orang Allah itu, kepada orang Israel sebelum ia mati. Katanya: "TUHAN datang dari Sinai dan terbit dari Seir kepada kita; Ia bercahaya dari gunung Paran, Ia datang dari puluhan ribu orang kudus, dengan api yang menyala di tangan kanan-Nya. Ya, Ia mengasihi umat-Nya; semua orang kudus-Nya berada dalam tangan-Nya; maka mereka mengikuti jejak-Mu, menerima petunjuk daripada-Mu."" (Ulangan:

Prior to Moses’ (PBUH) death, he gave the children of Israel blessed news, mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy: “This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the people of Israel before his death. He said, “The LORD came from Sinai and dawned from Seir upon us; he shone forth from mount Paran, he came from the ten thousands of holy ones, with flaming fire at his right hand. Yes, he loved his people; all his holy ones were in his hand; so they followed in your steps, receiving direction from you.” (Deuteronomy:

33/1-3).

33/1-3).

Nabi Habakkuk juga mengesahkan ramalan ini, apabila beliau menyebutkan berita yang menakutkannya, kerana ia menandakan pemindahan kenabian daripada kaumnya, iaitu Bani Israil. Beliau berkata, "Tuhan datang dari Teman, dan Yang Kudus dari gunung Paran. Kemuliaan-Nya menutupi langit, dan bumi penuh dengan pujian kepada-Nya. Selah. Cahaya-Nya seperti cahaya; sinar memancar dari tangan-Nya, dan di situlah Dia menyembunyikan kekuasaan-Nya."

The prophet Habakkuk confirmed this prophecy, when he mentioned the news that made him afraid, because it indicated the transfer of the prophet-hood away from his people the children of Israel. He says, “God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. His splendor covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. Saleh. His brightness was like the light; rays flashed from his hand, and there he veiled his power.

Di hadapan-Nya berjalan wabak penyakit, dan wabak tha'un mengikut di belakang-Nya. Dia berdiri dan mengukur bumi; Dia memandang dan menggegarkan bangsa-bangsa; maka gunung-ganang yang kekal pun terserak, bukit-bukit yang abadi tunduk rendah. Jalan-jalan-Nya adalah abadi.” (Habakkuk: 3/3-6).

Before him went pestilence, and plague followed at his heels. He stood and measured the earth; he looked and shook the nations; then the eternal mountains were scattered; the everlasting hills sank low. his were the everlasting ways.” (Habakkuk: 3/3-6).

Sebelum menganalisis petikan ini, mari kita lihat perbezaan utama dalam terjemahannya.

Before analyzing this passage, let us look at the major differences in its translations.

Dalam terjemahan Ketujuh Puluh: "dan dia diberitahu dari gunung Faran, dan di sebelah kanannya ada beribu-ribu malaikat yang suci, maka dia memberi kepada mereka dan dia mengasihi mereka, dan dia menyayangi kaum ini, dan dia memberkati mereka dan memberkati pengangkatannya, ketika mereka menyedari langkah-langkahmu, dan menerima kata-katamu. Musa menyampaikan hal yang serupa dengannya kepada kami, dan memberi mereka pusaka kepada bangsa Yakub" Dalam terjemahan para imam Jesuit: "Tuhan akan datang dari selatan, dan Yang Kudus dari gunung Pharan: Kemuliaan-Nya menutupi langit, dan bumi penuh dengan puji-pujian-Nya." Dalam Basic English Translation (1965): "bersinar dari Gunung Paran, datang dari Meribath Kadesh: dari tangan kanan-Nya keluar nyala api." Makna Meribath Kadesh ialah 'beribu-ribu orang kudus', sebagaimana yang terdapat dalam Alkitab Douay-Rheims 1899: "Dia telah menampakkan diri dari gunung Pharan, dan bersama-Nya beribu-ribu orang kudus, di tangan kanan-Nya, hukum yang menyala-nyala."

In the Seventieth translation: “and he was informed from the mountain of Faran, and on his right there was thousands of the purified angels, so he gave to them and he loved them, and he was merciful to there people, and he blessed them and blessed raising him, when they realized your footsteps, and accept your words. Moses submitted similar to it to us, and gave them an inheritance to Jacob's people” In the Jesuit priests’ translation: “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.” In the Basic English Translation (1965): “shining out from Mount Paran, coming from Meribath Kadesh: from his right hand went flames of fire”. the meaning of Meribath Kadesh is ‘Thousands of saints’, as what came in the Douay-Rheims Bible 1899 " he hath appeared from mount Pharan, and with him thousands of saints, in his right hand, a fiery law.

Bahagian ini membicarakan tiga tempat yang darinya keberkatan akan datang. Yang pertama: Gunung Sinai, tempat Musa (PBUH) berbicara dengan Tuhan.

This Passage talks about the three places that the blessing will come, the first: Sinai Mountain, where Moses (PBUH) spoke to God.

Yang kedua: Sair, sebuah gunung di tanah Yehuda, (Lihat Yosua:

The second: Sair, a mountain in the land of Judas, (See Joshua:

15/10), dan yang ketiga: Gunung Paran.

15/10), and the third: Paran mountain.

Kitab Injil yang suci, dalam petikan-petikan yang menyebut "Paran", memberitahu kita bahawa ia terletak di bahagian selatan padang pasir Palestin. Walau bagaimanapun, Taurat juga menyebut bahawa Ismail membesar di padang belantara Paran. (Lihat Kejadian: 21/21), dan secara sejarah telah dipersetujui bahawa beliau membesar di Makkah di Hijaz.

The Holy Bible’s passages in which "Paran" is mentioned tell us that it is located in the southern part of the Palestinian desert. However, the Torah also mentions that Ishmael grew up in the wilderness of Paran. (See Genesis: 21/21), and historically agreed that he grew up in Makkah in Hijaz.

Umat Islam percaya bahawa petikan ini ialah satu nubuat tentang kemunculan Nabi Isa di Sair di Palestin, kemudian Nabi Muhammad ﷺ di Gunung Paran, tempat baginda datang bersama ribuan orang yang suci, dengan sokongan ketetapan daripada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa.

Muslims believe that this passage is a prophecy about the appearance of Jesus (PBUH) in Sair in Palestine, then Muhammad (PBUH) on the Paran Mountain, where he comes with thousands of the purified people supported by the statute from God Almighty.

Ini telah ditetapkan berdasarkan Muhammad ﷺ kerana perkara-perkara berikut:

This has been established with Muhammad (PBUH) because of the following:

1) Gunung Paran ialah gunung Makkah, tempat Ismail tinggal. Kitab Taurat berkata tentang Ismail: "Dan Tuhan menyertai budak itu; maka ia pun besar. Ia tinggal di padang gurun, dan menjadi seorang pemanah yang mahir. Ia tinggal di padang gurun Paran; dan ibunya mengambilkan isteri baginya dari tanah Mesir." (Kejadian: 21/20-21).

1) Paran Mountain is the mountain of Makkah, where Ishmael resided. The Torah said about Ishmael: "And God was with the boy; and he grew up. He lived in the wilderness, and became an expert with the bow. He lived in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt." (Genesis: 21/20-21).

Anak-anaknya tersebar di kawasan ini, sebagaimana kitab Taurat menyebutkan, "Inilah anak-anak Ismael dan inilah nama-nama mereka, menurut kampung-kampung dan perkemahan-perkemahan mereka, dua belas raja menurut suku-suku mereka. Inilah tahun-tahun hidup Ismael: 137 tahun. Ia menghembuskan nafas terakhir dan mati, lalu dikumpulkan kepada kaumnya. Mereka menetap dari Hawilah sampai ke Syur, yang berhadapan dengan Mesir ke arah Asyur. Ia menetap berhadapan dengan semua saudaranya. (Kejadian: 25/16-18), dan Hawilah, sebagaimana dalam kamus Alkitab Suci, ialah sebuah kawasan di utara Yaman, manakala Syur terletak di selatan Palestin. 1 Diketahui bahawa Ismael dan anak-anaknya bermastautin di tanah ini, di utara dan selatan Hijaz, termasuk tanah Paran tempat Ismael bermastautin.

His children were scattered in this area, as the Torah says, "These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, twelve princes according to their tribes. These are the years of the life of Ishmael: 137 years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people. They settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria. He settled over against all his kinsmen. (Genesis: 25/16-18), and Avila, as in the Holy Bible’s dictionary, is an area in the north of Yemen, while Shur is in the south of Palestine. 1 It is known that Ishmael and his children resided in this land north and south of Hijaz, including the land of Paran in which Ishmael resided.

Bukti sejarah menunjukkan bahawa Paran ialah Hijaz, tempat Ismail dan bapanya membina Ka'bah, dan tempat mata air Zamzam memancar di bawah kakinya. Hal ini diakui oleh sejumlah ahli sejarah, sebagaimana disebut oleh ahli sejarah India Moulana Abdul Haq Fedyatee dalam bukunya "Muhammad in the religious international scriptures".

The historical evidence indicates that Paran is Hijaz, where Ishmael and his father build the Ka’aba, and where the well of Zamzam sprang under his feet. This was professed by a number of historians as the Indian historian Moulana Abdul Haq Fedyatee mentioned in his book "Muhammad in the religious international scriptures".

Sejarawan Jerome dan ahli teologi Eusebius termasuk dalam kalangan sejarawan yang menyatakan bahawa Paran ialah Makkah.2 Selain itu, apa yang terdapat dalam Strong's Hebrew Bible Dictionary ialah Paran terletak di padang pasir Arab, dengan menyatakan, "Paran, a desert of Arabia".

The Historian Jerome and the theologian Eusebius were among those historians that said that Paran is Makkah.2 Furthermore, what came in Strong's Hebrew Bible Dictionary is that Paran is in the Arab desert, saying, "Paran, a desert of Arabia".

2) Wujudnya sebuah kawasan bernama Paran yang terletak di selatan Sinai tidak bermakna tiada Paran lain tempat Ismail menetap. Adalah lazim menggunakan nama Seir untuk menamakan kawasan di negeri Edom yang kini terletak di Jordan. Ini diulang di banyak tempat dalam kitab tersebut, dan walaupun ia digunakan berkali-kali, ia tidak menghalang nama itu digunakan untuk menamakan sebuah gunung di tengah Palestin, di sebelah barat Baitul Maqdis, di negeri suku Yehuda. (Lihat Yosua:

2) The existence of an area named Paran located in the south of Sinai does not mean that there is no other Paran where Ishmael resided. It is common to use the name Sair to name the area in the land of Edom which is now located in Jordan. This is repeated in many places in the book, and in spite of the many times it is used, it did not prevent the name being used to name a mountain in the middle of Palestine west of Jerusalem in the land of the Judas tribe. (See Joshua:

15/10).

15/10).

Kita berhak bertanya kepada mereka yang bersikeras bahawa Paran berada di Sinai: siapakah yang suci yang bercahaya dari gunung itu, yang tidak berkaitan sama sekali dengan sebarang peristiwa penting manusia? Siapakah dia?

We have the right to ask those who insist that Paran is in Sinai: who is the holy one that glittered from that mountain which is not related in any way to any important human events. Who was he?

3) Mengatakan bahawa petikan itu membicarakan satu isu pada masa lampau tidak dapat diterima, kerana dalam bahasa Kitab Injil adalah lazim untuk membicarakan peristiwa masa depan dengan menggunakan kala lampau. Espinosa berkata, "Penulis-penulis yang paling awal menggunakan kala akan datang untuk menunjukkan masa kini dan masa lampau tanpa perbezaan, sebagaimana mereka menggunakan kala lampau untuk menunjukkan masa depan, dan akibatnya terdapat banyak kekeliruan." 4) Mengapakah gunung Paran disebut secara khusus?

3) To say the passage talks about an issue in the past is not acceptable, because it is common in the Holy Bibles' language to talk about future events using the past tense. Espinosa said, “The oldest writers used the future tense to indicate the present and the past, with no differentiation, as they used the past to indicate the future, and as a result of that there was a lot of confusion.” 4) Why the mountain of Paran was particularly mentioned?

Jika ia hanyalah petunjuk kepada tersebarnya kemuliaan Tuhan sebagaimana didakwa oleh sebahagian penulis Yahudi, maka kemuliaan Tuhan tidak berhenti di sempadan Paran atau Sair. 5) Sebahagian terjemahan menyebut "orang-orang kudus di antara malaikat", yang bermaksud orang-orang suci di antara para pengikut. Itulah yang mengesahkan bahawa perkara ini berkaitan dengan nubuat, yang menyebut tentang puluhan ribu orang kudus, kerana ungkapan ini digunakan dan maksudnya ialah para pengikut, seperti yang terdapat dalam Kitab Wahyu: "Maka timbullah peperangan di syurga; Mikhael dan malaikat-malaikatnya berperang melawan naga itu. Naga itu dan malaikat-malaikatnya pun melawan," (Wahyu: 12/7). Bilakah Paran pernah menyaksikan puluhan ribu orang yang disucikan seperti itu, kecuali apabila Muhammad ﷺ dan sahabat-sahabatnya muncul?

If it was just an indication to the spreading of the glory of God as claimed by some of the Jewish writers, the glory of God did not stop at the border of Paran or Sair. 5) Some translations mention "the cleansed among angels" meaning the cleansed among the followers, that is what confirms that the issue is related to the prophecy, talking about the thousands of saints, as this expression is used and it means: the followers, as in what came in the Book of Revelation that "Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back," (Revelation: 12/7). When did Paran witness such thousands of the cleansed except when Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions appeared?

6) Apa yang terdapat dalam Kitab Habakuk menyokong dakwaan orang Islam apabila ia berkata, "Tuhan datang dari Teman, dan Yang Maha Suci dari gunung Paran. Kemuliaan-Nya menutupi langit, dan bumi penuh dengan puji-pujian kepada-Nya. Saleh.

6) What came in the Book of Habakkuk supports the Muslims claim when it said, “God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. His splendor covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. Saleh.

Kecemerlangannya bagaikan cahaya; sinar memancar dari tangannya, dan di situlah dia menyembunyikan kekuasaannya. Di hadapannya berjalan wabak penyakit, dan penyakit berjangkit mengikuti di belakangnya. Dia berdiri dan mengukur bumi; dia memandang dan menggoncangkan bangsa-bangsa; lalu gunung-ganang yang kekal itu berselerakan; bukit-bukit yang abadi itu merendah. Jalan-jalannya adalah jalan yang kekal." (Habakkuk: 3/3-6). Nas ini menjadi saksi bahawa akan ada kenabian yang menang, yang akan bersinar seperti cahaya, dan seruan azan akan memenuhi alam semesta dengan pujian kepada Tuhan.

His brightness was like the light; rays flashed from his hand, and there he veiled his power. Before him went pestilence, and plague followed at his heels. He stood and measured the earth; he looked and shook the nations; then the eternal mountains were scattered; the everlasting hills sank low. His were the everlasting ways.” (Habakkuk: 3/3-6). This passage is a witness that, there is a victorious prophet-hood will shine like a light, and the call to the prayer will fill the universe with the praise of God.

Perkataan "Timan", sebagaimana disebut oleh para editor Alkitab, adalah perkataan Ibrani yang bermaksud "selatan". Dalam Taurat Katolik: "Tuhan datang dari selatan, dan Yang Kudus datang dari gunung Paran", kerana mereka yang diseru itu berada di Palestin, wahyu dalam nubuatan datang dari selatan, iaitu dari Semenanjung Arab, yang bermakna bahawa Yang Kudus itu akan diutus dari gunung Paran.

The word “Timan”, as mentioned by the Holy Bible’s editors, is a Hebrew word that means "the south". In the Catholic Torah: "God comes from the south, and the holy comes from the mountain of Paran", as the addressed were in Palestine, the revelation in the prophecies comes from the south meaning from the Arabian peninsula, which means that the holy one will be sent from Paran mountain.

Oleh itu, dan berdasarkan semua itu, Yang Suci lagi bercahaya dari Gunung Paran itu ialah Nabi Islam, Muhammad ﷺ, kerana semua sifat yang disebutkan tentang nabi Paran itu tergenap pada dirinya, dan tidak pada mana-mana nabi mulia yang lain.

Therefore, and based on all that, the glittering holy one from Paran mountains is the prophet of Islam, Muhammad (PBUH), for all the characteristics mentioned about the prophet of Paran, are validated in him, and not in any of the other honored prophets.
