UNABII WA (MEHMAD), TAMAA YA UMMAH
THE PROPHECY OF (MEHMAD), THE NATION’S DESIRE
Ili kupunguza huzuni yao, baada ya kurudi kutoka utumwani, nabii Hagai aliwaambia Wana wa Israeli unabii kutoka kwa Mungu. Unasomeka kama ifuatavyo:
To reduce their sadness, after they returned from captivity, the prophet Haggai told the Children of Israel a prophecy from God. It reads as follows:
Kwa maana hivi ndivyo asemavyo BWANA wa majeshi; Bado kitambo kidogo, nami nitaitikisa mbingu, na nchi, na bahari, na nchi kavu. Nami nitazitikisa mataifa yote, nao watakuja na kitu cha thamani ya mataifa yote; nami nitaijaza nyumba hii utukufu, asema BWANA wa majeshi. Fedha ni yangu, na dhahabu ni yangu, asema BWANA wa majeshi. Utukufu wa nyumba hii wa mwisho utakuwa mkuu kuliko wa kwanza, asema BWANA wa majeshi; na mahali hapa nitatoa amani, asema BWANA wa majeshi. (Hagai 2:6-9)
"For thus says the LORD of hosts; yet once more, it a little while, I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land. And I will shake all nations, so that the treasure of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the LORD of hosts. The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, declares the LORD of hosts." (Haggai: 2/6-9).
Unabii huu, bila shaka, unazungumzia nabii aliyetarajiwa ambaye Ibrahimu aliahidiwa. Yakobo, Musa na Daudi (PBUT) pia walitabiri juu yake.
This prophecy, in no doubt, is talking about the expected prophet whom Abraham had promised. Jacob, Moses and David (PBUT) had also prophesized about him.
Kuhani wa awali Abdul Ahad Dawoud, ambaye ni mtaalamu wa lugha za kale, alinukuu maandishi hayo kwa Kiebrania na kuyatafsiri kama ifuatavyo:
The previous priest Abdul Ahad Dawoud, who is an expert with ancient languages, quoted the text in Hebrew and translated it as follows:
"Nitatikisa dunia yote, na (Mehmad) atakuja kwa mataifa yote… na mahali hapa nitatoa amani". Neno "Mehmad" au "Hamdet" linakuja katika lugha ya Kiebrania kama linavyokuja katika usomaji mwingine mpya. Kwa kawaida hutumiwa katika Kiebrania kumaanisha "matamanio makubwa" au "yanayotamaniwa", na maandiko kulingana na tafsiri ya kawaida ya Kiebrania ni:
“I will shake all the whole earth, and (Mehmad) will come to all the nations… and in this place I will give peace". The word "Mehmad" or "Hamdet" comes in the Hebrew language as it comes in another new reading. It is usually used in Hebrew to mean "the great wish" or "the desired", and the text according to the common Hebrew translation:
(fabaaou Hamdat kol hagoyeem).
(fabaaou Hamdat kol hagoyeem).
Hata hivyo, ikiwa tutaacha jina likiwa kama lilivyo bila kulitafsiri (ambavyo ndivyo inavyopaswa kufanywa kwa majina), basi tutaona kwamba neno "Mehmad" ni matamshi ya Kiebrania ya jina la Kiarabu Ahmad, ambalo lilipotea pale watafsiri walipolitafsiri majina pia.
However if we leave the name as it is without translation (which is what is supposed to be done with names), then we will find the word "Mehmad" is the Hebrew pronunciation of the Arabic name Ahmad, which was lost by translators when they also translated names.
Akitoa maoni kuhusu hili, mwanahistoria mashuhuri William James Durant alisema: "Neno 'Mehmad' (aliyesifiwa) lilitokana na kusifiwa, nalo ni ukuzaji wake. Inaonekana alisifiwa mara kwa mara, na huenda baadhi ya vifungu vya Torati vilitabiri juu yake."1 Maneno kuhusu nyumba ya mwisho ya Mungu yalikuja wakati wa kutimia kwa unabii, ambayo ina utukufu mkubwa zaidi kuliko nyumba ya kwanza. Kisha anasema:
Commenting on this, the great prominent historian William James Durant said: “the word “Mehmad” (the praised) was derived from praising, and it is an exaggeration of it. It seems that he was praised time after time, and possibly that some of the passages in the Torah prophesized him”.1 The talk about the last house of God came on the completion of the prophecy, which has greater glory than the first house. then he says:
"Mahali hapa nitatoa amani," tafsiri ya Kiebrania ilitumia neno "shalom," ambalo linaweza kumaanisha "Uislamu," kama "Al Salam" au amani, na "Al Islam" linatokana na neno hilo hilo. 1
"in this place I will give peace", the Hebrew translation used the word "shalom" which can mean "Islam", as "Al Salam" or peace and "Al Islam" derived from the same word. 1
"Mahali hapa nitatoa amani", huenda ikawa anazungumzia amani iliyotawala ardhi hii, ambayo Omar Bin Al Khatab aliwapa watu wa Jerusalem alipoiteka. Unabii huo basi ulihusu kutoa amani, wala haukuhusiana na yule Mtume aliyetamaniwa, kwa sababu ulitimia mikononi mwa wafuasi wake wema na Masahaba zake baada ya kufa kwake ﷺ.
His words: "in this place I will give peace", might be talking about the peace that covered this land, which Omar Bin Al Khatab gave to the people of Jerusalem when he conquered it. The prophecy then was about providing peace and was not related to the desired prophet, because it happened at the hands of his kind followers and companions after his death.
Hakuna shaka yoyote kwamba unabii huu hauhusu Yesu (AS). Hakuna uhusiano kati ya maneno ya unabii na jina lake, wala kati ya maana zake na yale yanayojulikana kumhusu (AS). Amani haikuanzishwa Yerusalemu wakati wa utume wake; badala yake, baada ya muda aliwaambia Wayahudi kuhusu kuharibiwa kwa hekalu. Zaidi ya hayo, alikuwa mjumbe kwa Wana wa Israeli, na si kwa mataifa yote, ilhali nabii aliyetarajiwa ndiye matamanio ya mataifa yote, wala hakuwa wa nyumba ya Yakobo peke yake kama ilivyotajwa katika maelezo ya Yesu mara kadhaa.
There is no doubt that this prophecy is not talking about Jesus (PBUH). There is no relationship between the prophecy’s words and his name, or between its meanings and what is known about him (PBUH). Peace was not stabilized in Jerusalem during his mission; instead, he told the Jews of the destruction of the temple after a while. Moreover, he was a messenger to the Children of Israel, and not to all nations, while the expected prophet was the desire of all nations, and was not exclusive to the house of Jacob as mentioned in the description of Jesus several times.
Matumizi ya neno amani au "Al salam" kwa maana ya "Uislamu" yalionekana na Abdul Ahad Dawood kuwa ni ya lazima katika sehemu nyingine ya Biblia Takatifu. Kitabu cha Luka kinataja kwamba malaika waliimba wakati wa kuzaliwa kwa Yesu wakisema: "Utukufu kwa Mungu juu mbinguni, na duniani amani kwa watu wanaopendeza kwake." (Luka 2:14).
The use of the word peace or "Al salam" to mean "Islam" was seen by Abdul Ahad Dawood as needed in another passage of the Holy Bible. The Book of Luke mentions that the angels sang at the birth of Jesus saying: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those whom he is pleased." (Luke: 2/14).
Anajiuliza: ni amani gani iliyokuja duniani baada ya kuzaliwa kwa Yesu (SAW)? Mauaji yaliendelea mfululizo, na vita vilifuatana moja baada ya nyingine hadi Siku ya Kiyama. Kwa hiyo, tafsiri sahihi ya neno la Kigiriki "Erena" kwa Kiebrania ni "shalom", ambalo linalingana na "Islam" kwa Kiarabu kama "Al Salam".
He wonders; which peace came to earth after the birth of Jesus (PBUH)? The killing continuously went on, and the wars took turns one after another until the Day of Judgment. Therefore, the correct translation of the Greek word "Erena" in Hebrew is "shalom", which is equal to "Islam" in Arabic as "Al Salam”.
Ikiwa Wakristo wanasisitiza kutafsiri neno "Erena" kuwa amani au "Al Salam", basi wamemfanya Yesu ajipinge mwenyewe, kwa kuwa alisema: "Nimekuja kutupa moto duniani; na ingekuwa tayari umewaka! Ninayo ubatizo wa kubatizwa nao; na nina shida gani hata utimilifu wake utakapokuwa! Je, mnadhani nimekuja kuleta amani duniani? Sivyo, nawaambia, bali ni utengano:" (Luka 12:49-51), na katika Mathayo: "msidhani kwamba nimekuja kuleta amani duniani; sikuja kuleta amani, bali upanga." (Mathayo 10:34).
If the Christians insist on interpreting the word "Erena" as peace or "Al Salam", then they have made Jesus contradict himself, as he said: "I am come to cast fire on the earth; and would that it were already kindled? I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division:" (Luke: 12/49-51), and in Matthew: "do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth: I have not come to bring peace, but a sword." (Matthew: 10/34).
Kulingana na hayo, Abdul Ahad Dawood anaona kwamba wapatanishi ni Waislamu, na hilo liko katika maneno ya Yesu: "Heri wapatanishi, maana hao wataitwa wana wa Mungu." (Mathayo 5:9), hivyo anaona kwamba tafsiri sahihi ni "heri Waislamu", na si wapatanishi wa kufikirika, ambao hawakuwepo na hawatakuwepo kamwe duniani.
Based on that, Abdul Ahad Dawood sees that the peacemakers are the Muslims, and that is in the words of Jesus: "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the sons of God." (Matthew: 5/9), so he sees that the accurate translation is "blessed the Muslims", and not the imaginary peacemakers, which were not and will never exist on earth.
Hakuna hata mmoja wa watu wa madhehebu mbalimbali ya Kikristo, ambao wamekuwa wakipigana na kutofautiana katika historia yote, anayeweza kusema kwamba amani ilipatikana mioyoni mwa waumini, kwa kuwa chuki inayoendelea kati yao inakanusha yote hayo.
None of the people who belong to the different Christian sects, who are fighting and disagreeing along its history, can say that peace took place in the hearts of the believers, as the ongoing hatred between them denies all that.
Katika kukamilika kwa wimbo unaoitwa wimbo wa malaika, "na amani iwe kwa watu", maandishi ya Kigiriki yalitumia neno "Yodekia", neno lililotokana na kitenzi cha Kigiriki "Dokio", na lina maana ya "zuri, wema, hisani" kama katika kamusi ya Kigiriki, pia lina maana ya furaha, upendo, kuridhika, hamu, sifa… Maneno haya yote ni sahihi katika kutafsiri neno "Yodekia", ambalo pia linaweza kutafsiriwa kwa Kiebrania kuwa (Mahmad, Ma Hamoud).
In the completion of the so-called angels hymn "and Joy be to the people", the Greek text used the word "Yodekia" which is a word derived from the Greek verb "Dokio", and it means "nice, kind, charitable" as in the Greek dictionary, it also means joy, love, satisfaction, desire, fame… All of these expressions are valid in translating the word "Yodekia", which can also be translated in Hebrew to (Mahmad, Ma Hamoud)
Neno hili linatokana na kitenzi "Hamd" (sifa). Jina Mahmad (Ma Hamoud) lina maana ya "anayetamaniwa sana, mchangamfu, wa ajabu, anayependwa au mpole". Maana hizi zote zinalingana na maana zinazotokana na neno Muhammad au Ahmad, ambayo yanakaribiana kiasili na maneno mawili ya Kiebrania (Hemda na Mehmad). Ukaribu huu unaonyesha kwamba yote yana mzizi mmoja wa pamoja, kama ilivyo katika lugha nyingi za Kisemiti.
which is extracted from the verb "Hamd" praise. The word (Mahmad, Ma Hamoud) means, “the very much desired, the cheerful, the wonderful, the loved or the gentle”. All of these agree with the meanings that come out of the word Muhammad or Ahmad, which are close in extraction to the two Hebrew words (Hemda and Mehmad), such closeness indicates that they have one common root as it is always the case in many of the Semitic languages.
Abdul Ahad Dawood pia anatahadharisha kuwepo kwa maandishi haya katika Injili ya Luka ya Kigiriki, wakati maneno yalipokuwa katika lugha ya Kiashuru. Haikuwezekana, hata kwa juhudi kubwa na kwa uaminifu katika tafsiri, kutafsiri neno kutoka lugha moja hadi nyingine na kufikia maana kamili ya awali ya neno hilo. Kwa hiyo, kwa kuwa maandiko asilia yamepotea, haiwezekani kuthibitisha usahihi wa tafsiri.
Abdul Ahad Dawood also alerts to the existence of this text in the Greek Book of Luke at the time the phrases were in Assyrian. It was not possible, even with a lot of effort and being honest in translation, to translate a word from one language to another, and reach the exact original meaning of the word. Thus, it is impossible, with the loss of the originals, to verify the accuracy of the translation.
Tafsiri sahihi ya wimbo kama alivyouona Abdul Ahad Dawood ni: "Shukrani kwa Mungu mbinguni, na utii au "Uislamu" duniani, na Ahmad kwa watu".
The correct translation for the hymn as seen by Abdul Ahad Dawood is: "Thanks to God in heavens, and submission or "Islam" on earth, and Ahmad to the people". 1

1. Mfano wa hili unapatikana katika Qur'ani, maneno ya Mwenyezi Mungu: {Enyi mlioamini! Ingieni katika Uislamu kikamilifu (kwa kutii sheria na kanuni zote za dini ya Kiislamu)} (Al-Baqara: 208).
1An example of this is in the Quran, God's words: {O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islâm (by obeying all the rules and regulations of the Islâmic religion)} (Al-Baqara: 208).
