The idea that the Bible contains prophecies about the coming of Muhammad (peace be upon him), may surprise many people. It isn’t di cult to understand why, since the general perception people have of Muhammad (pbuh) is that of a man with no connection to Biblical Prophets or prophecies. However, taking a closer look at Muhammad’s (pbuh) life, it becomes clear that he upheld the basic tenets that the Biblical Prophets came with, and led millions to do the same. Indeed it was because of the teachings of Muhammad (pbuh) that billions of Muslims since his time up until today have revered the persons of Jesus, Moses and Abraham (peace be upon them all).

Additionally, verses from the Bible itself will clearly show us that Muhammad (pbuh) is that Prophet.
