The Jews acknowledge the Prophet’s (P.B.U.H.) message and misrepresentation of the Torah
Imam Abu Daud narrates that Abu Hurairah (R.A.) said:
A Jewish man and woman committed adultery, they then said among themselves:
Take us to this Prophet for he is a Prophet sent with moderate laws. If he is to pass a judgement other than stoning, we will accept.
They came to the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) and found him seated in the mosque with his companions.
They said:
O Abu Qaasim! What would you do to a man and a woman who committed adultery?
The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) remained silent for a while and said, “
I swear by Allah, He who descended the Torah on Musa, do you not find in the Torah judgement of adulterers”.
They said: Coal should be applied to their faces and they should be flogged then, carried by a donkey around the village while people mock at them.
The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) saw a silent young man and asked him the same question and insisted that he should answer.
The man said:
The judgment in the Torah is stoning.
The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) then asked,
“Who is the first man to break Allah’s Commandments?”
The man said:
A person closely related to the king fornicated and the king did not stone him. Then someone else from a different family did the same and the king wanted to stone him. The people went to the king and demanded that they will not allow him to stone their man until his relative was stoned.
So they had to sit and agree on what to do.
The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said,
“I judge by what is in the Torah”.
The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) ordered the stoning of both of them.
Glad tidings of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) by previous Prophets
The Qur’an and the Sunnah report the glad tidings of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) in the previous
revelation. Allah the Exalted says:
“Those to Whom we gave the scripture (Jews and Christians) recognize him (Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) or the Kaaba) as they recognize their sons. But verily, a party of them conceal the truth while they know it [i.e. the qualities of Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) which are written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)]”
Allah the Exalted says,
“So if they dispute with you (Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)) say ’I have submitted myself to Allah (in Islam)and so have those who follow me.’ And say to those who were given the scripture (Jews and Christians) and to those who are illiterates (Arab pagans):
‘Do you (also) Submit yourselves to Allah (in Islam)?’ If they do, they are rightly guided; but if they turn away your duty is only to convey the Message; and Allah is All-Seer of His slaves”(Suratul Imran 20)
Allah the Exalted says:
“Say (O Muhammad): “What thing is most great in witness?” Say: “Allah (Most-Great!) is witness between me and you; this Qur’an has been revealed to me that I may therewith warn you and whosoever it may reach.
Can you verily bear witness that besides Allah there are other alihah (gods)?” Say: “I bear no (such) witness!” Say: “But in truth He (Allah) is the only one ilah (God). And truly I am innocent of what you join in worship with Him”(Suratul An’am )
Allah the Exalted says,
“Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write (i.e. Muhammad SAW) whom they find written in the Taurat (Torah) (Deut, xvii 15) and the Injeel (Gospel) (John xiv, 16) – he commands them for Al-Ma’ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained);
and forbids them from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism of all kinds and all that Islam has forbidden); he allows them as lawful At-Tayyibat (i.e. all good and lawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods),
he releases them from their heavy burdens (of Allah’s Covenant with the children of Israel), and from the fetters (biddings) that were upon them. So those who believe in him (Muhammad), honor him, help him, and follow the light (the Qur’an) which has been sent down with him, it is they who will be successful.”(Suratul A’raf 157)
“Say (O Muhammad): “O mankind! Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah to whom belongs the dominion of the heaven and the earth. La ilaha ilia Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) It is He Who gives life and causes death. So believe in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)), the Prophet who can neither read nor write (i.e. Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)), Who believes in Allah and His Words [(this Qur’an), the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and also Allah’s Words “Be!” – and he was i.e. Isa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), and follow him so that you may be guided]”
“Can they (Muslims), who rely on a clear proof (the Qur’an) from their Lord, and who are witness [Jibril (Gabriel)] from Him recites (follows) it (can they be equal with the disbelievers); and before it, came the Book of Musa (Moses), a guidance and a mercy, they believe therein, but those of the sects (Jews, Christians and all other non Muslim nations) that reject it (the Qur’an), the Fire will be their promised meeting place. So be not in doubt about (i.e. those who denied Prophet Muhammad and also denied all that which he brought from Allah. Surely, they will enter Hell). Verily, it is truth from your Lord, but most of the mankind believe not.”
Allah the Exalted says,
“That he or it (Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) or the Qur’an) may give warning to him who is living (a healthy minded – the believer), and that Word (charge) may be justified against the disbelievers (dead, as they reject the warnings).”
Allah the Exalted sent Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) to the Jews, Christians, Arabs and Non-Arabs and all those who will be informed or hear about him are responsible. The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said, “ By the One in Whose hand my soul lies, whoever hears my message from this Ummah, be he a Jew or a
Christian then dies without believing in it except he is going to be among the dwellers of the Hellfire.”(Sahih Muslim The Book of Imaan Pg. 240)
The glad tidings of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) are found in the revelations (books) of the previous Prophets before him from the first to the last of them – Issa Ibn Maryam (Jesus), who informed Sons of Israel of the coming of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.).
Allah the Exalted says:
“And (remember) when Isa (Jesus) son of Mariyam (Mary) said: O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah unto you, confirming to you the Taurat [(Torah) which came] before me, and giving glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad. But when he (Ahmad i.e. Muhammad) came to them with clear proofs, they said: This is plain magic”
The glad tidings of Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) are present in the Qur’an and in Hadith, and the teaching spread East and West… and if Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) was not a prophet, it could have adversely affected all the previous Prophets as it would have appeared that they were not truthful.
Allah the Exalted says:
“And (remember) when Allah took the Covenant of the Prophets saying: “Take whatever I gave you from the Book and Hikmah (understanding of the Laws of Allah) and afterwards there will come to you a Messenger (Muhammad) confirming what is with you; you must, then believe in him and help him” Allah said, “Do you agree (to it) and will you take up My Covenant (which I conclude with you)?” They said: “We agree.” He said: “Then bear witness, and I am with yamong the witnesses (for this).
Then whoever turns away after this, they are the Fasiqun (rebellious: those who turn away from Allah’s Obedience).”
Ibn Abbas (R.A.) said: Allah never sent a Prophet without taking a covenant, he sent Muhammad and ordered him to take a covenant from his people.
