Some of the news given in the previous Scriptures about Muhammad ﷺ
1. In the story of Ibrâhîm:
In the Book of Genesis, during the course of the story of Ibrâhîm (May Allâh’s blessings be upon him), it is said that Allâh inspired Ibrâhîm, after he was saved from the fire to go and travel to the East and the West for the sake of his son. When he told Sarah about this, she hoped that the son would be hers, and she was very much concerned to drive away Hâjar and her son Ismâ’îl. Thereupon, Ibrâhîm took them both to Arabia and the wilderness (mountains) of Parn. Ibrâhîm thought that this prophecy was for his son Ishâq until Allâh inspired him that his son Ishâq would be given a blessed offspring but as for Ismâ’îl I have blessed thee and have given him a great nation, and from his offspring will come Muhammadﷺ, who will have a great nation
“The Lord said to Abram, “Leave your country, your relatives, and your father’s home, and go to a land that I am going to show you. I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great
nation. I will bless you and make your name famous, so that you will be a blessing” (Genesis: 12:1-2), “You are going to have a son, and you will name him Ishmael, because the Lord has heard your cry of distress” (Genesis: 16:11).
Also when Hâjar was placed by the Ka’bah by her husband Ibrâhîm, and she became very thirsty, she became very worried about her son. Then came the angel, who brought forth the spring of Zamzam and ordered her to keep this boy, as a great person would be born from his offspring.
It is well known that there are none of the offspring of Ismâ’îl, rather of Adam who is greater or more honored than Muhammad, and it was his nation which dominated the eastern and the western part of the land.
2. The story of Ismâ’îl:
Also in the course of the story of Ismâ’îl in the Book of Genesis, it says that the child Ismâ’îl would lead all the nations, and would live by his brothers. This was not fulfilled by anyone except for the nation of Muhammad.ﷺ
3. Tthe story of Mûsâ (Moses):
In the Book of Deuteronomy it is mentioned that Allâh inspired Mûsâ (Moses) to say to the children of Isrâ’îl: “And the Lord said unto me,
they have well spoken that which they have spoken, I will raise them up a prophetﷺ from among their brethren, like unto thee and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.” (Deuteronomy 18:17-18).
And also said: “The Lord your God will raise up for you (Children of Isrâ’îl) a Prophetﷺ like me from among you, from your brethren him you shall heed…” (Deuteronomy 18:15).
