Musa (ﷺ) alishuka kutoka Mlima Al-Tor baada ya Mungu kuzungumza naye, akawaambia wana wa Israeli: "Naye BWANA akaniambia: Wamesema vyema waliyoyasema. Nitawainulia nabii kama wewe kutoka miongoni mwa ndugu zao, nami nitaweka maneno yangu kinywani mwake; naye atawaambia yote nitakayomwamuru."

Moses (PBUH) descended from Al-Tor Mountain after God had spoken to him, and he said addressing the children of Israel: "And the LORD said to me “They are right in what they have spoken. I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I command him.

Na yeyote ambaye hatasikiliza maneno yangu, atakayosema kwa jina langu, mimi mwenyewe nitamtaka atoe hesabu. Lakini nabii atakayethubutu kusema neno kwa jina langu ambalo sijamwamuru aseme, au atakayesema kwa jina la miungu mingine, nabii huyo atakufa. Nawe ukisema moyoni mwako, Tutajuaje neno ambalo BWANA hajalisema? Nabii anaposema kwa jina la BWANA, na neno hilo lisipotimia wala kutokea, huo ni neno ambalo BWANA hajalisema; nabii amelisema kwa kiburi. Usiogope kumwogopa. (Kumbukumbu la Torati 18:17-22).

And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him. But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods that same prophet shall die. And if you say in your heart, How many we know the word that the LORD has not spoken? When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come true, that is a word the LORD has not spoken, the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. you need not be afraid of him." (Deuteronomy: 18/17-22).

Maandishi, kama yanavyoonyesha wazi, yanazungumzia nabii mkuu atakayekuja baada ya Musa (AS), na yanataja sifa za nabii huyu, ambazo kwa hizo tunaweza kuhitimisha ni nani.

The text as it clearly shows, talks about a great prophet that will come after Moses (PBUH), and it mentions the characteristics of this prophet, from which we can deduce who he is.

Wakristo wanadai kwamba nabii huyu alishakuja, na kwamba ndiye Yesu (PBUH), kama Petro alivyosema katika hotuba yake kuhusu Yesu (PBUH): "Musa alisema, 'Bwana Mungu wenu atawainulia nabii kama mimi katikati yenu, katika ndugu zenu; mtamsikiliza yeye katika mambo yote atakayowaambia. Na itakuwa kila nafsi isiyomsikiliza nabii yule itaangamizwa miongoni mwa watu.'"

The Christians claim that this prophet had already come, and that he is Jesus (PBUH), as Peter said in his speech about Jesus (PBUH) " Moses said, “ the Lord will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers, you shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.

na manabii wote waliosema, kuanzia Samweli na wale waliofuata baada yake, pia walitangaza siku hizi.” (Matendo 3:22-26) Maoni ya Petro ni kwamba unabii wa Musa ulitimizwa katika nafsi ya Yesu.

and all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days.” (Acts: 3/22-26) Peter’s opinion is that the prophecy of Moses was fulfilled in the person of Jesus (PBUH).

Hata hivyo, kifungu hiki kikichambuliwa kinaonyesha ushahidi mwingi kwamba kinamhusu Nabii wetu Muhammad ﷺ peke yake, na Wakristo hawana ushahidi kwamba kilikuwa cha Isa peke yake. Taurati inataja maelezo ya mtu huyu ambaye ilitabiri kuhusu kuja kwake:

However, the passage when analyzed shows a lot of evidence that it indicates only our prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and the Christians have no evidence that it was exclusive to Jesus (PBUH). The Torah mentions the description of this person whom it prophesized:

1) Yeye ni nabii. "Nabii kutoka miongoni mwa ndugu zao", Wakristo wanadai uungu kwa Yesu, na Waorthodoksi wanadai kwamba yeye ni Mungu mwenyewe, sasa angewaambiaje: Nitamwinua nabii, na asiseme: Nitajiinua mimi, au nitamwinua Mungu?

1) He is a prophet. “A Prophet from among their brethren ", the Christians claim divinity for Jesus, and the Orthodox claim that he is God himself, so how could he tell them: I will raise a prophet, and not say: I will raise myself, or I will raise a God?

2) Kwamba yeye si miongoni mwa Wana wa Israeli, bali yuko miongoni mwa ndugu zao, yaani binamu zao. Binamu wa Wana wa Israeli ni wana wa Esau mwana wa Isaka, na wana wa Ishmaeli, mwana wa Ibrahimu.

2) That he is not from the children of Israel, but he is among their brothers meaning their cousins "among their brothers", the cousins of the children of Israel are the children of Esau the son of Isaac, and the children of Ishmael, the son of Abraham.

Ni jambo la kawaida katika Torati kutumia neno "ndugu" kumwita binamu; mfano ni alichowaambia wana wa Israeli Musa:

It is common in the Torah to use the word “brother" to call the cousin; an example is what Moses said to the children of Israel:

“Na wape watu amri, “mnakaribia kupita katika eneo la ndugu zenu, watu wa Esau, wanaoishi Seir” (Kumbukumbu la Torati: 2/4), na watoto wa Esau mwana wa Isaka - kama ilivyotajwa hapo awali - ni binamu wa watoto wa Israeli.”

“And command the people, “you are about to pass through the territory of your brothers, the people of Esau, who live in Seir” (Deuteronomy: 2/4), and the children of Esau son of Isaac - as mentioned before - are cousins to the children of Israel.

Pia imetajwa katika maelezo ya Edomu, ambaye ni kizazi cha Esau: "Musa aliwatuma wajumbe kutoka Kadeshi kwa mfalme wa Edomu, Hivi ndivyo asemavyo ndugu yako Israeli: wewe unajua taabu yote tuliyoipata:" (Hesabu 20:14), na katika kifungu kingine: "Usimchukie Mwedomu; kwa maana ni ndugu yako."

It also came in the description of Edom, who is from Esau's offspring "Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus says your brother Israel: you know all the hardship that we have met:" (Numbers: 20/14), and in another passage "You shall not abhor an Edomite; for he is your brother.

"Hutakiwi kumchukia Mmisri; kwa sababu wewe ulikuwa mgeni katika nchi yake." (Kumbukumbu la Torati 23:7). Alimwita ndugu, na alichokusudia ni kwamba yeye alikuwa mmoja wa binamu wa Israili.

You shall not abhor an Egyptian; because you were a sojourner in his land." (Deuteronomy: 23/7). He called him a brother, and what he meant was that he was one of the cousins of Israel.

Vile vile, kitabu cha Mambo ya Nyakati kilimwita Mfalme Sedekia ndugu wa mfalme Yehoyakini, kikisema, "Mwanzoni mwa mwaka, Mfalme Nebukadneza akatuma watu, akamleta Babeli, pamoja na vyombo vya thamani vya nyumba ya BWANA, akamfanya Sedekia ndugu yake kuwa mfalme juu ya Yuda na Yerusalemu." (2 Mambo ya Nyakati 36:10) Lakini kwa kweli, kwa mujibu wa kitabu cha Wafalme, yeye ni mjomba wake. Kinasema: "Mfalme wa Babeli akamweka Matania, mjomba wa Yehoyakini, kuwa mfalme mahali pake, akambadilisha jina lake akamwita Sedekia." (2 Wafalme 24:17-18). Kimetumia neno ndugu, lakini kilimaanisha mjomba, jambo linalothibitisha usahihi wa matumizi haya inapotajwa hivyo.

Similarly, the Book of Chronicles called King Zedekiah a brother of the king Jehoiachin, it said, "In the spring of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of the LORD, and made his brother Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem." (Chronicles 2: 36/10) in reality, he is his uncle according to the book of Kings. It says: "And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.” (Kings 2: 24/17-18), it used the word brother, but it meant the uncle, which confirms the validity of this use when saying:

"ndugu zao", alipomaanisha binamu zao.

"their brothers", when he meant their cousins.

Kwa hiyo, inawezekana kwamba nabii huyu ametokana na Waarabu, kama uthibitisho wa baraka iliyoahidiwa kwa uzao wa Ismaili, na inawezekana pia kwamba ametokana na watoto wa Esau, mwana mkubwa wa Isaka.

Based on that, it is possible that this prophet is from the Arabs as a validation to the blessing promised to the offspring of Ishmael, and it is possible that he is from the children of Esau the elder son of Isaac.

Hakuna mzao yeyote wa Esau aliyewahi kudai kuwa yeye ndiye nabii aliyetarajiwa. 3) Mojawapo ya sifa za nabii huyu ni kwamba yeye anafanana na Musa, ambaye wana wa Israeli hawakuwahi kuwa na nabii kama yeye. "Wala hajatokea nabii tangu wakati huo katika Israeli kama Musa, ambaye BWANA alimjua uso kwa uso," (Kumbukumbu la Torati 34:10), na katika nakala za Kisamaria za Torati imeandikwa, "Wala hajawahi kutokea nabii katika Israeli kama Musa, ambaye BWANA alisema naye" (Kumbukumbu la Torati 34:10).

None of the children of Esau ever claimed to be the expected prophet. 3) One of this prophet's characteristics is that he is like Moses, whom the children of Israel had not had a prophet like him. "And there has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face," (Deuteronomy: 34/10), in the Samaritan originals of the Torah it says, "And there will never arose a prophet in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD had spoken to" (Deuteronomy: 34/10).

Maelezo haya, kwamba kuwa kama Musa ni ukweli, yanaweza kuhusu nabii wetu Muhammad ﷺ tu, na si Yesu (amani na baraka ziwe juu yao wote). Kuna mfanano mwingi kati ya Musa na Muhammad ﷺ, ambao hatuwezi kuupata kwa Yesu. Kuzaliwa kwa Musa na kwa Muhammad ﷺ kulikuwa kwa njia ya kawaida, na ndoa zao zote mbili zilikuja na sheria. Wote wawili walitumwa wakiwa na upanga dhidi ya adui zao, kila mmoja wao aliwaongoza taifa lake, na kila mmoja akawa mfalme, na wote wawili walikuwa binadamu. Wakristo wanadai kwamba Yesu ni wa kimungu, na hilo linavunja kila mfanano huo.

This description, of being like Moses, is a fact can fit only our prophet Muhammad, and not Jesus (peace and blessings be upon all of them). There are many similarities between Moses and Muhammad (PBUT), which we cannot find in Jesus. Moses’ and Muhammad’s (PBUT) natural birth, their marriage, both came with a statute, both were sent with swords over their enemy, each of them lead his nation, and became a king, and both were human, while the Christians claim that Jesus is divine, and that refutes every similarity.

Yesu alimweleza nabii anayetarajiwa kuwa anafanana na Musa, akimsukuma mbali na yeye mwenyewe, alisema; "Msidhani kwamba nitawashtaki kwa Baba. Yuko mmoja anayewashtaki, Musa, ambaye mmeweka tumaini lenu juu yake. Kama mngemwamini Musa, nanyi mngeniamini mimi; kwa maana aliandika juu yangu. Lakini kama hamuamini maandiko yake, mtawezaje kuamini maneno yangu?" (Yohana:

Jesus described the expected prophet to be similar to Moses, driving it away from himself, he said; “Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuses you, Moses, on whom you have set your hope. If you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words? (John:

5/45-47) Yesu alimwita nabii aliyengojewa "Musa aliyengojewa" kutokana na kufanana kwake na Musa.

5/45-47) Jesus called the expected prophet “the awaited for or the expected Moses” due to his similarity with Moses.

Kuhusu wale wanaolalamika kuhusu Wana wa Israeli, Yesu (PBUH) anasema, "Yesu akajibu, Mimi sina pepo; lakini namheshimu Baba yangu, nanyi mnaniheshimu. Lakini mimi situafuti utukufu wangu mwenyewe; yupo mmoja anayeutafuta, naye ndiye hakimu." (Yohana: 8/49-50).

Regarding the ones who complain about the children of Israel, Jesus (PBUH) says, "Jesus answered, I do not have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. Yet I do not seek my own glory, there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge." (John: 8/49-50).

4) Yeye ni asiyejua kusoma wala kuandika, na wahyi unaomjia ni wahyi wa maneno ya kusemwa, tofauti na vitabu vilivyoandikwa vilivyoteremshwa kwa manabii waliotangulia kabla yake, "nami nitaweka maneno yangu kinywani mwake;" na Yesu (amani iwe juu yake)

4) He is illiterate, cannot read nor write, and the revelation that comes to him is a verbal revelation, unlike the written books that came to the prophets before him “and I will put my words in his mouth;” and Jesus (PBUH)

aliweza kusoma (Angalia Luka: 4/16-18).

was able to read (See Luke: 4/16-18).

5) Ataweza kuwasilisha ujumbe wake kikamilifu, "na atawaambia yote ninayomwamuru." Hii ni sifa inayolingana na Muhammad ﷺ, kama inavyoonekana katika yale yaliyoteremshwa kwake katika sehemu za baadaye za Qur'ani, pale Mungu alipposema: {Leo nimekukamilishieni dini yenu, na nimetimiza neema yangu juu yenu, na nimekuridhieni Uislamu uwe dini yenu} (Al-Ma'idah: 3).

5) He will be able to deliver his message completely, “and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.". Which is a description that matches Muhammad (PBUH), as in what was revealed to him in the later parts of the Quran when God said: {This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion} (Al-Maeda: 3).

Katika unabii wa Parakletos (ambao utaelezwa baadaye), Yesu (ﷺ) alimweleza, akasema: "Lakini Msaidizi, Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye Baba atamtuma kwa jina langu, atawafundisha mambo yote na kuwakumbusha yote niliyowaambia." (Yohana 14:26).

In the Parakletos prophecy (which will be explained later ) Jesus (PBUH) described him, he said: "But the helper, the Holy spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you." (John: 14/26).

Haiwezekani kwamba Yesu (PBUH) ndiye nabii yule anayewasilisha yote ambayo Mungu anamwamuru; kwa kuwa Yesu (PBUH) alinyanyuliwa kwa Mungu alipokuwa bado na mambo mengi ya kukamilisha. Hata hivyo, aliwapa unabii wa nabii atakayekuja baadaye, ambaye atawaambia ukweli wote, kwa kuwa ndiye nabii ambaye ujumbe wake utakamilika, na hakuna kitakachozuia kuwasilisha ujumbe wake. Yesu alisema (PBUH):

It is impossible that Jesus (PBUH) is that prophet who delivers all what God commands him; as Jesus (PBUH) was lifted to God when he still had a lot to complete. However, he gave them prophecies of the next prophet who will tell them the whole truth, because he is the prophet whose message will be completed and nothing will prevent him delivering his message. Jesus said (PBUH):

"Bado ninayo mengi ya kuwaambia, lakini kwa sasa hamwezi kuyastahimili. Lakini atakapokuja Roho wa kweli, atawaongoza katika kweli yote; kwa maana hatasema kwa mamlaka yake mwenyewe, bali atasema yote atakayoyasikia, naye atawaambia mambo yajayo." (Yohana 16:12-13)

“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own authority; but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. “(John: 16/12-13).

6) Yeyote asiyesikiliza maneno ya nabii huyu, Mungu atamwadhibu, "atakayekataa kusikiliza maneno yangu atakayoyasema kwa jina langu, nitamtaka yeye mwenyewe." Petro alilifasiri andiko hili kama: "Itakuwa kwamba kila nafsi ambayo haitamsikiliza nabii huyo, itaangamizwa miongoni mwa watu," kwa kuwa yeye ni nabii, kumfuata na kumtii ni wajibu kwa kila mtu.

6) Whoever does not listen to this prophet's words, God will punish, “whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.” Peter interpreted this passage as: "And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.”, for he is a prophet, adherence and obedience to him is a duty to everyone.

Wale wasiomfuata yeye watakabiliwa na adhabu ya Mungu, na hicho ndicho kilichotokea hasa kwa maadui wote wa Muhammad ﷺ. Mungu alilipiza kisasi dhidi ya washirikina wote waliomkataa, Waarabu au Waajemi. Yesu (AS) alisema kumhusu yeye katika unabii wa wakulima (utakaofafanuliwa baadaye): "Na mtu yeyote atakayeanguka juu ya jiwe hili atavunjwavunjwa; na likimwangukia mtu yeyote, litamsaga." (Mathayo: 21/44). Basi yeye ndiye jiwe imara litakalofuta maadui zake waasi, yule ambaye nabii Danieli alitoa unabii wa kuja kwake: "Na katika siku za wafalme hao, Mungu wa mbinguni atasimamisha ufalme usioharibika milele, wala ufalme huo hautaachwa kwa taifa jingine. Utayavunja-vunja na kuyamaliza falme hizi zote, nao utasimama milele. Kama vile uliona kwamba lile jiwe lilikatwa kutoka mlimani bila mkono wa mwanadamu, na kwamba lilivunja-vunja chuma, shaba, udongo, fedha na dhahabu; Mungu mkuu amemjulisha mfalme yale yatakayokuwa baada ya haya. Ndoto ile ni ya kweli, na tafsiri yake ni ya hakika." (Danieli: 2/21-45).

Those who will not adhere to him will be subject to God's punishment, and that is exactly what happened to all of Muhammad's (PBUH) enemies. God took revenge on all the polytheists who denied him, Arabs or Persians. Jesus (PBUH) said about him in the prophecy of the husbandmen (to be explained later): "And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.” (Matthew: 21/44), so he is the solid rock that will erase his disobedient enemies, the one whom the prophet Daniel gave prophecies of his arrival " And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever. Just as you saw that the stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold; a great God has made known to the king that shall be after this. The dream is certain, and the interpretation sure." (Daniel: 2/21-45).

Kuhusu Yesu (PBUH), yeye hakuwa na nguvu hizo. Hata hakuwatishia wauaji wake, sasa itakuwaje kwa wale ambao hawakufuata maneno yake? Luka alisema katika sehemu ya simulizi la kusulubiwa: "Yesu akasema, Baba, wasamehe; kwa maana hawajui watendalo" (Luka 23:34). Yuko wapi Yesu kutoka kwa nabii yule "yeyote asiyesikiliza maneno yangu atakayosema kwa jina langu, nitamtaka yeye"?

As for Jesus (PBUH), he did not have this strength. He did not even threaten his murderers, so what about those who did not adhere to his words. Luke said in the course of the crucifixion story "And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” (Luke: 23/34), where is Jesus from that prophet “whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”?

7) Moja ya sifa za nabii huyu ni kwamba hatauawa; badala yake, Mungu atailinda roho yake isichukuliwe mikononi mwa wajinga. Nabii wa uongo ataadhibiwa: "hata nabii huyo atakufa", yaani kuuawa, kwa kuwa kuuawa ni sehemu ya kifo, na kwa sababu kila mtu atakufa. Wakristo wanadai kwamba Yesu aliuawa, hivyo haiwezekani kwamba yeye ndiye nabii aliyeahidiwa. Tukirejea tafsiri za zamani za kifungu hiki, tutakuta kwamba mabadiliko fulani yalifanyika wakati wa tafsiri, kama vile yale yaliyomo katika toleo la 1844: "kwa nabii huyu kuuawa", na si siri kwa nini mabadiliko hayo yalifanyika.

7) One of the descriptions of this prophet is that he will not be killed; instead, God will spare his soul from being taken by the hands of the foolish. The false prophet will be punished “even that prophet shall die ", meaning to be killed, as killing is part of death, and because everyone will die. The Christians claim that Jesus was killed, so it is not possible that he is the promised prophet. Referring to the old translations of this passage we will find that some alterations took place during the translation, as in what came in the 1844 edition "for this prophet to be killed", and it is not a secret why this alteration took place.

8) Anazungumzia mambo ya ghaibu, na uhalisia unalingana na maneno yake. Aina hii ya miujiza imeelezwa katika Qur'ani na Sunna ya Muhammad ﷺ kwa wingi usiohesabika.

8) He talks about the unknown, and the reality matches his words. That type of miracles is described in the Quran and the tradition of Muhammad (PBUH) in uncountable volume.

Hata hivyo, hapa nitataja unabii mmoja tu ambao Muhammad ﷺ aliutoa, na ulitimia kama alivyoeleza.

However, I will mention here only one of the prophecies Muhammad (PBUH) made, and it took place exactly as he mentioned.

Mnamo mwaka 617 B.K., Wapersia karibu wafute Dola ya Kiroma kutoka ramani ya dunia, kwa kuwa majeshi ya "Kaisari Eiberweez wa pili" yaliwasili Bonde la Naili na kuteka sehemu kubwa za Dola ya Kiroma. Ndani ya miaka michache, jeshi la Wapersia liliweza kudhibiti Shamu na sehemu za Misri, na vikosi vyao vikaiteka Antiokia kaskazini, jambo lililoonyesha wazi mwisho wa Dola ya Kiroma. Hata Herakli alitaka kukimbia kutoka Konstantinopoli, lakini kuhani mkuu wa Kiroma alimshawishi avumilie na aombe usitishaji wa mapigano wenye unyenyekevu pamoja na Wapersia. Katikati ya matukio haya yote, na kinyume na matarajio yote, Nabii Muhammad ﷺ alitangaza kwamba Waroma wangeshinda Wapersia ndani ya miaka michache, si zaidi ya miaka tisa, kama alivyofunuliwa na Mungu: {Warumi wameshindwa. Katika nchi iliyo karibu (Shamu, Iraq, Yordani na Palestina), nao, baada ya kushindwa kwao, watashinda, ndani ya miaka mitatu hadi tisa. Uamuzi wa jambo hilo, kabla yake na baada yake (matukio haya), ni kwa Allah pekee (kabla ya kushindwa kwa Warumi na Wapersia, na baada yake, yaani kushindwa kwa Wapersia na Warumi). Na siku hiyo, waumini (yaani Waislamu) watafurahi (kwa ushindi alioupa Allah Warumi dhidi ya Wapersia). Kwa msaada wa Allah, humsaidia amtakaye, naye ndiye Mwenye nguvu, Mwenye rehema.} (Ar-Rum: 2-5).

In 617 C.E., the Persians almost erased the Roman Empire from the world map, as the troops of “Caesar Eiberweez the second” arrived in the Nile Valley, and captured great parts of the Roman Empire. In a few years, the Persian army was able to control Syria and parts of Egypt, and their troops took over Antioch in the north, which was a clear picture showing the end of the Roman Empire. Even Hercules wanted to flee from Constantinople, but the highest Roman priest convinced him to be tolerant and to request a humiliated truce with the Persians. In the middle of all these events and against the entire expectations, prophet Muhammad (PBUH) announced that the Romans would be victorious over the Persians in few years, not more than nine years, as in what was revealed to him by God: {The Romans have been defeated. In the nearer land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious, within three to nine years. The decision of the matter, before and after (these events) is only with Allâh, (before the defeat of Romans by the Persians, and after, i.e. the defeat of the Persians by the Romans). And on that Day, the believers (i.e. Muslims) will rejoice (at the victory given by Allâh to the Romans against the Persians), With the help of Allâh, He helps whom He wills, and He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.} (Al-Room: 2-5).

Kilichotokea ni hasa kile alichokitabiri. Mwaka 623, 624, 625

What had happened is exactly what he predicted. In 623, 624, 625

Katika mwaka wa C.E., Hercules aliweza kuondoa upumbavu wake mwenyewe, na akaendesha kampeni tatu za vita zilizofanikiwa ambazo ziliwafukuza Waajemi kutoka Syria. Mwaka wa 627 C.E., Warumi waliendelea kusonga mbele, hadi walipofika kwenye kingo za Tigris ndani ya mpaka wa dola ya Waajemi, jambo lililowalazimu Waajemi kuomba makubaliano ya kusitisha vita na Warumi, nao wakamrudishia Msalaba Mtakatifu baada ya kuwa umeangukia mikononi mwao.

C.E., Hercules was able to get rid of his own foolishness, and he waged three successful war campaigns that threw the Persians out of Syria. In 627 C.E., the Romans continued advancing, until they arrived at the Tigris shores inside the border of the Persian state, which forced the Persians to request a truce with the Romans, and they returned the Holy Cross back to them after it fell into their hands.

Ni nani aliyemwambia Muhammad ﷺ kuhusu unabii huu mkuu? Yeye, Muhammad ﷺ, ndiye nabii ambaye Musa alitabiri kuhusu kuja kwake.

Who told Muhammad (PBUH) about this great prophecy? He, Muhammad (PBUH) is the prophet that Moses (PBUH) prophesized.

Mwanahistoria Edward Gibbon anasema: "wakati huo, Qur'ani ilipokuja na unabii huu, hakuna unabii mwingine uliokwenda mbali hivyo, kwa sababu miaka kumi na miwili ya kwanza ya utawala wa Hercules ilikuwa ikionyesha mwisho wa Dola ya Kiroma." 1

The historian Edward Gibbon says: "at that time, when the Quran came with this prophecy, no other prophecy went that far, because the first twelve years of Hercules’ ruling was indicating the end of the Roman Empire". 1

Al-Tirmidhi amesimulia kwamba Ibn Abbas alisema kuhusu maneno ya Mwenyezi Mungu: {Warumi wameshindwa. Katika ardhi iliyo karibu (Shamu, Iraq, Jordan, na Palestina), nao baada ya kushindwa kwao watashinda, ndani ya miaka mitatu hadi tisa. Amri ya jambo hilo, kabla yake na baada yake ni kwa Allaah pekee} (kabla ya Warumi kushindwa na Wajusi, na baada yake, yaani Wajusi kushindwa na Warumi). Washirikina walipenda Wajusi (Waajemi) wawashinde Warumi, kwa kuwa wote wawili waliabudu sanamu. Waislamu walipenda Warumi wawashinde Wajusi kwa kuwa walikuwa waumini wa Vitabu vitukufu. Walimtajia Abu Bakr jambo hilo, naye akamtajia Muhammad ﷺ. Kisha Muhammad ﷺ akajibu: "Hakika watawashinda." Abu Bakr aliwaambia Waislamu alichosema Muhammad ﷺ kwake, kisha wakasema: "Na tuweke muda kati yetu na nyinyi, ili tukishinda tupate hiki na hiki, na mkishinda mpate hiki na hiki." Akaweka muda wa miaka mitano, nao hawakushinda. Wakamtajia hilo Nabii Muhammad ﷺ, naye akasema: "Je, hamkuweza kuufanya chini ya miaka kumi?" "Kidogo ni chini ya kumi."

Al-Termethy narrated that Ibn Abbas said about God's words: {The Romans have been defeated. In the nearer land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious, within three to nine years. The decision of the matter, before and after (these events) is only with Allâh, (before the defeat of Romans by the Persians, and after, i.e. the defeat of the Persians by the Romans)} The polytheists wanted the Persians to defeat the Romans, because both of them worshiped idols. The Muslims wanted the Romans to defeat the Persians because they were believers of the Holy Books. They mentioned that to Abu Bakr, and he mentioned it to Muhammad (PBUH). Then Muhammad (PBUH) replied, “Indeed they will defeat them”. Abu Bakr told the Muslims what Muhammad (PBUH) said to him, and then they said, ‘let us set a date between us and you, so if we win we get this and that, and if you win you get this and that’. He set a time of five years, and they did not win, so they mentioned this to the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and he said, ‘couldn't you make it less than ten years’? “Few are less than ten”.

Kisha Warumi wakashinda baadaye, alisema, hilo linapatikana katika maneno ya Mungu: {Warumi wameshindwa. Katika nchi iliyo karibu zaidi (Shamu, Iraq, Yordani na Palestina), na wao, baada ya kushindwa kwao, watashinda. Ndani ya miaka mitatu hadi tisa. Uamuzi wa jambo hilo, kabla na baada ya (matukio haya) uko kwa Allah pekee, (kabla ya kushindwa kwa Warumi na Waajemi, na baada yake, yaani kushindwa kwa Waajemi na Warumi)}. 1

Then the Romans became victorious, afterwards, he said, that is found in God's words: {The Romans have been defeated. In the nearer land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious. Within three to nine years. The decision of the matter, before and after (these events) is only with Allâh, (before the defeat of Romans by the Persians, and after, i.e. the defeat of the Persians by the Romans)}. 1

Ni wazi kwa kila mwangalizi mwenye haki kwamba maelezo ya nabii ambaye Nabii Musa alitabiri hayakutimia kwa mtu wa Nabii mkuu Isa, bali yalitimia kwa mtu wa Muhammad ﷺ.

It is clear to every just observer that the description of the prophet that prophet Moses prophesized, were not matched in the person of the great Jesus (PBUH), but matched in the person of Muhammad (PBUH).

Ili kuthibitisha kwamba sifa hizi zote haziendani na nabii yeyote kabla ya Muhammad ﷺ, ni kwamba Wayahudi hawadai kwamba masihi huyu alikuja zamani, bali bado wanamngoja.

To confirm that not all these characteristics do match any of the other prophets before Muhammad (PBUH) is that the Jews do not claim that this messiah came in the past, but they are still expecting him.

Yahya alipotumwa, Mayahudi walidhani kwamba yeye ndiye nabii aliyeahidiwa, nao wakamwuliza, "Basi ni nini?"

When John (PBUH) was sent, the Jews thought he was the promised prophet, and they asked him "And they asked him, what then?

Je, wewe ni Eliya? Akasema, "Mimi si yeye." Je, wewe ni nabii?

Are you Elijah? He said, “I am not.” Are you the prophet?

Naye akajibu, "Hapana." (Yohana: 1/21), yaani kwamba mimi si yule nabii mnayemtarajia.

And he answered, no." (John: 1/21), meaning that I am not the prophet whom you are expecting.

Wanafunzi walitaka unabii ulingane na Yesu, kama wakati mmoja walipoyaona miujiza yake: "Basi watu walipoona ishara aliyoifanya, wakasema: Hakika huyu ndiye nabii yule ajaye duniani. Yesu alipojua ya kuwa watakuja kumchukua kwa nguvu ili wamfanye mfalme, akajitenga tena, akaenda mlimani peke yake." (Yohana 6:14-15). Wanafunzi wa Yesu walitaka kumweka kuwa mfalme ili kutimiza unabii waliokuwa nao kuhusu nabii aliyetarajiwa, yule atakayetawala na kuwaletea ushindi watu wake. Yesu alipojua kwamba yeye si nabii aliyetarajiwa, alikimbia.

The disciples wanted the prophecy to match Jesus (PBUH), as one time when they saw his miracles “when the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, “This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world. Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself." (John: 6/14-15), the disciples of Jesus (PBUH) wanted to appoint him as a king in order to fulfill the prophecy they had about the expected prophet, the one who rules and brings victory to his people, and since Jesus (PBUH) knew that he was not the expected prophet, he escaped.

Wakristo wanatangaza kwamba kuna tatizo katika maandishi ya Torati (Kumbukumbu la Torati 18:17-22) ambalo litakanusha madai ya Waislamu. Mwanzoni mwa kifungu hicho, Mungu alisema na Musa na kusema:

The Christians declare that there is a problem in the Torah's text (Deuteronomy: 18/17-22) that will refute the Muslims’ claim. At the beginning of the Passage, God spoke to Moses and said:

"BWANA Mungu wako atakuinulia nabii kama mimi, miongoni mwenu, katika ndugu zenu. Ni yeye mtakayemsikiliza; kama vile ulivyomtaka BWANA Mungu wako huko Horebu siku ya kusanyiko, ulipoisema: Nisisikie tena sauti ya BWANA Mungu wangu, wala nisiuone moto huu mkubwa tena, nisije nikafa. BWANA akaniambia, Wamesema vema waliyoyasema. Nitawainulia nabii miongoni mwa ndugu zao kama wewe, nami nitaweka maneno yangu kinywani mwake; naye atawaambia yote nitakayomwamuru." (Kumbukumbu la Torati 18:15-18) Ufafanuzi wa mwandishi kuhusu sentensi ya pili haujatafsiriwa kwa kuwa sio sehemu ya maandishi uliyotoa.

“The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among you, from your brothers. It is to him you shall listen; just as you desired of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, or see this great fire any more, lest I die. And the LORD said to me, They are right in what they have spoken. I will raise up for them a Prophet from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I command him.” (Deuteronomy: 18/15-18) it describes the prophet as “a Prophet from among you” meaning from the children of Israel. Therefore, the second sentence should be connected to the first sentence, so the prophet “a Prophet from among you” or as in what came in some of the translations “among you” that he is an Israeli.

Hata hivyo, watafiti wanaona kifungu hiki kuwa ni mabadiliko, nyongeza, na ushahidi wao ni kwamba Musa (AS) hakuwahi kukitaja alipoyarudia habari za nabii kwa Wana wa Israeli; alisema, "Naye BWANA akaniambia, Wamesema vema waliyoyasema. Nitawainulia nabii kama wewe katikati ya ndugu zao, nami nitaweka maneno yangu kinywani mwake; naye atawaambia yote nitakayomwamuru..." (Kumbukumbu la Torati 18:17-18). Ikiwa ingekuwa ni maneno ya Mungu, Musa (AS) asingeliacha.

However, researchers see this passage as an alteration, an addition, and the proof is that Moses (PBUH) never mentioned it when he repeated the news about the prophet to the children of Israel, he said, “And the LORD said to me “They are right in what they have spoken. I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I command him...” (Deuteronomy: 18/17-18), if it was from the words of God, Moses (PBUH) would not drop it.

Zaidi, kifungu hiki hakipatikani katika nukuu ya Petro na Stevenson ya maandiko, kwani katika kitabu cha Matendo, Petro alisema: "Musa alisema, Bwana Mungu atawainulia nabii kama mimi katika ndugu zenu. Mtamsikiliza katika kila atakalowaambia." (Matendo 3:22).

In addition, this passage is not found in Peter and Stevenson’s quote of the text, as in the book of Acts, Peter said: “Moses said, the Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you.” (Acts: 3/22).

Stevenson alisema: "Huyu ndiye Musa, aliyewaambia Waisraeli, Mungu atawainulia nabii kama mimi kutoka miongoni mwa ndugu zenu." (Matendo: 7/37) Pia hakutaja kifungu hiki; kama kingekuwa cha kweli, kingetajwa katika manukuu yote.

Stevenson said: “This is the Moses, who said to the Israelites, God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers.” (Acts: 7/37) he also did not mention this passage; if it was genuine it would have been mentioned in all quotations.
