A Response to Three Questions of a Christian — Page 11
Reply to the First Question 11 absolutely no uncertain terms, he announced to Madinah’s Jewish and Christian communities that he would not be killed and, by the grace of Allah, he remained safe from being killed—peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Christian gentlemen! If the Prophet of Arabia is false (God for- bid) in this claim of Prophethood (and by announcing َنْوَعْرِف اًلْوُسَر ۤاَمَك ۤاَنْلَسْرَا ىٰلِا —Like unto the Messenger We had sent to Pharaoh— which is that very claim to Prophethood that is mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:18 and Acts chapter 3; and it is absolutely clear that the Arab Prophet was not killed), then the Torah is not a holy book, but is instead totally wrong and false, since it is writ- ten in Deuteronomy 18:20 that the false prophet would be killed. However, if the Holy Torah is by way of Divine revelation and true, then our Guide, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is a true Messenger and—as a matter of fact—the Messenger referred to in chapter 18 of Deuteronomy. It is for this very reason that the Noble Quran repeatedly declares both the Holy Prophet—Ahmad Mujtab a [ the Elect ] , Muhammad Mu st af a s as [the Chosen]—and itself to be ٌقِّدَصُّم اَمِّل ْمُكَعَم [fulfilling that which is with you]. ( S u rah A l-e-‘Imr a n, 3:82) What does this mean? It means that the Noble Quran and the Arab Prophet, by his advent, security, and being safeguarded from being killed, proved the Torah to be true. Now, take further heed: the Noble Quran makes the claim that there is no contradiction in the Quran. S u rah an-Nis a ’, 4:83— َو ْوَل َناَك ْنِم ِدْنِع ِرْيَغ ِهّٰللا اْوُدَجَوَل ِهْيِف اًفاَلِتْخا اًرْيِثَك
