The Prophets (upon them be Blessings and Peace) are all free from major and minor sins, enormities, unbelief, and wicked acts before and after receiving Prophethood (Nubuwwah). However, some slips and mistakes have escaped them.An example of a slip (zalla) is when Ādam Alaihis Salam ate from the tree, and an example of a mistake (khaṭa’) is when Mūsā Alaihis Salam killed a member of Pharaoh’s people. He did not intend to kill him, but only to strike him with his hand in order to push him away from the Israelite. Thus, the strike was intentional, but the killing a mistake. The killing was also a slip, because every mistake is a slip, but not every slip is a mistake. Therefore, between the two is the universal-particular relationship. A slip sometimes occurs by mistake, sometimes out of forgetfulness, sometimes out of inattentiveness, and sometimes out of leaving the more worthy or preferred action.
Starting from Adam Peace be upon him then until Moses peace be upon him , followed by series of prophets peace be upon them then ISA ( jesus ) peace be upon him and then Last and Final Messenger Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him .
If you ask a jew they claim to follow Moses peace be upon him, but deny Jesus peace be upon him
Ask a christian about this they Accept Moses peace be upon him , but deny any prophet after jesus peace be upon him
Ask a Muslim They Accept All Prophets . So we see a pattern every nation accepts past but rejects future . the question is did the scripts indicate the comming of future prophets in the time of jews and christians and prophet Muhammed peace be upon him.
FACTS ON HAND
Torah : Book of jews did inform of following prophets
Bible : Book of Christians it does indicate and inform of coming prophet after him
Quran : This book declares LAST and FINAL prophet and confirms there will be no more prophets coming and prophet Muhammed Peace be upon him is the last and final messenger
Question ?
Thousands of years have passed since Moses peace be upon him and Jesus peace be upon hum , but why as per them no messenger has come as stated ?
Christians claim yes Jesus did come as stated in Torah but jews turned blind eye towards obvious indications , and at the same time deny the messenger after jesus peace be upon him same way jews turn blind eye towards the signs . One ROOT cause of these never ending debate and doubts is that Masses in Christians do not have access to the original texts , their information about book of god is as good as their scholars and thats why we have seen countless versions of Bible .
Song of Solomon 5:16
His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
American Standard Version (bi22)
so who is Jesus peace be upon him talking about here ? -- someone lovely ?
Lovely is such an open ended and common description , it can fit any person . Christians claim it is HOLY Spirit . so lets analyse that .
who can accept , the most eloquent of the time can say the one who will come after himself" to guide you unto all truth" you can identify him without doubt by a description that is Lovely !!!
FACTS :
The word lovely is a translated text , this is not what was said by Jesus peace be upon him
HE Jesus peace be upon him spoke in his language , so that actual text in Hebrew is what we should look into : http://biblehub.com/text/songs/5-16.htm
MOHAMMAD is a name that is translated in every translated bible , for reasons translators to explain why they did such a thing
MOHAMMADIM - is a plural of that name that is used in eastern languages as Plural for respect
Is this a Coincidence that Jesus peace be upon him referes to some one that would come in future for the TASK of Prophet hood and meant lovely which no one could pin point to or actually called him out by name , which was not kept by anyone before ?
Point to note : here in this verse we dont see an array of identification , just Muhammadim ( peace be upon him ) which makes sense only when it pin points to a name no other description is required .
like if i send money through western union for example i will say person who can prove to have this Name, can take it ..
But when we send some one to receive from Airport we give an array of hints , identification : he will come from this flight , he is asian looking , tall, and so on what ever may help uniquely identify a person .. thats what we see in the verse below
https://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/study-bible/books/john/16/ : 7
Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. For if I do not go away, the helper will not come to you; but if I do go, I will send him to you. 8 And when that one comes, he will give the world convincing evidence concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment: 9 first concerning sin,h because they are not exercising faith in me;i 10 then concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer;
Ask a christian who is helper ? They will reply holy spirit some translation even wrote holy spirit as if it was in original text .
Lets Analyse this prophecy
1. Jesus peace be upon him confirms that this event will happen after his leaving this world
2. He also confirms a CLAUSE , A CONDITION - "I do not go away, the helper will not come to you " - This is a key point, Holy spirit was with Jesus , Before his birth helping his blessed mother , and his companions during his time as per Christian texts so this CONDITION proves this helper is some one other than Holy Spririt even as per logical reasoning following christian tradition
3. Notice what is said next, "..concerning sin, because they are not exercising faith in me " now who is doing SIN in following jesus peace be upon him other than Christian nation who are refer to him as SON of GOD ! or rejecting his explicit prophecy of LAST Prophet peace be upon him
NONE of the three signs point to HOLY SPIRIT

I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now.k 13 However, when that one comes, the spirit of the truth,l he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own initiative, but what he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things to come.m 14 That one will glorify me

Notice these verses , how many times he mentioned HE
notice : for he will not speak of his own initiative, but what he hears he will speak ... these dont apply to SPIRIT it applies to a Person who is a Prophet peace be upon him .
4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Note , here spirit is referred to false prophets and true prophets
Deuteronomy 18:
https://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/study-bible/books/deuteronomy/18/
I will raise up for them from the midst of their brothers a prophet like you,w and I will put my words in his mouth,x and he will speak to them all that I command him.
Question : Who is referred to here ?
Christians : Jesus peace be upon him
Muslims : Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him
Lets compare how and why we arrive at this conclusion
Midst of their Brother
Prophet like you
I will put my words in His Mouth
ISLAM :
Brother : Prophet Abraham had two sons .One Prophet Ishmael and another one Prophet Issac. peace be upon him, Jews and Christians are the Sons of Prophet Issac. And Muslims are the sons of Prophet Ishmael.
so similarity in this point is both is they are Brothers .for those christians who believe Jesus peace be upon him as Prophet of god ( Jehovas Witness ) but this sign conflicts as as per most jesus peace be upon him was UNLIKE every one else SON of GOD ..
Prophet Like you : lets compare this aspect
1. Moses peace be upon him has father and mother | Like Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him | Unlike Jesus peace be upon him |
2. Moses peace be upon him had Normal Birth | Like Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him | Unlike jesus peace be upon him was born Miracle
3. Moses peace be upon him was married | Like Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him | Unlike jesus peace be upon him
4. Moses peace be upon him was accepted as prophet by his people | Like Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him | Unlike jesus peace be upon him - (He came to his own home, but his own people did not accept him)- https://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/study-bible/books/john/1/1.11
5. Moses peace be upon him was prophets and - can enforce laws , power of life and death over his people - | Like Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him | Unlike jesus peace be upon himBible : My Kingdom is no part of this world.: https://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/study-bible/books/john/18/
6. Moses peace be upon him brought new laws | Like Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him | Unlike Jesus peace be upon him
7. Moses peace be upon him passed away from world naturally | Like Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him | Unlike Jesus peace be upon him
8. Moses peace be upon him is buried in world | Like Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him | Unlike Jesus peace be upon him is in heaven
I will put my words in his mouth :
This is a documented method fact that Quran was revealed by WAHI - Angel Gabriel peace be upon him ,dictated verses of Quran to prophet peace be upon him
This verse is also referenced in https://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/study-bible/books/john/1/
John 1:
This is the witness John gave when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him: “Who are you?”d 20 And he admitted it and did not deny it, saying: “I am not the Christ.”e 21 And they asked him: “What, then? Are you E·liʹjah?”f He replied: “I am not.”g “Are you the Prophet?
( the link for last question in bible cross references Deuteronomy 18 see link )
jews of That time were waiting for this prophet , but they knew signs before and after , so they send their priests to verify the claim of Jesus Peace be upon him and
They asked Jhon the Baptist - Prophet YAHYA peace be upon him 3 questions
1. He denied he was Christ
2. He denied he was Elijah
3. He was if he was not both was he THAT prophet referred in Deuteronomy 18 , here they referred to the third as prophet peace be upon him and not Holy Ghost and that they were expecting christ , Elijah and Last prophet peace be upon him . at that time they did not Accept Jesus peace be upon him as Christ ( Messiah )
Matthew 7: https://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/study-bible/books/matthew/7/
Be on the watch for the false prophetsq who come to you in sheep’s covering,r but inside they are ravenous wolves.s 16 By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they?t 17 Likewise, every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit.u 18 A good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce fine fruit.
So here we see a test given by Jesus how to identify a True prophet vs False prophet , he does not conclude this task with Holy sprit but rather is talking about a PERSON in Song of Solomon 5:16 , ( Holy Spirit is not a Person as per Christian faith as name implies its a spirit which imparts powers to persons )
SO what are the fruits which cannot be denied ?- most precious in faith
1. All Muslims believe in 1 GOD
2. All muslims believe in All prophets peace be upon him
3.All muslims believe in Jesus peace be upon him
4. All Muslims believe in Virgin and Miraculous Birth of Jesus peace be upon him
5. All Muslims believe Mother Mary was one of the greatest women created ( there is a Surah Maryam in her honour in quran )
6. All Muslims believe in return of Jesus peace be upon him before DAY of Judgement
7. All Muslims believe in Day of Judgement
8. All Muslims believe Bible was a Book of God
Now 2000 years have passed since christ , Christians have unanimously across all sects agreed its holy spirit and NOT any Other prophet peace be upon him .
SO what happens to this Unanimous Agreement in practice when JESUS Peace be upon him will return back and christians will meet him as a Nation ?
https://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/study-bible/books/matthew/7/
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Fa- ther who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evil- doers.” (Mt. 7:21-23)
Who other than CHRISTIANS will approach him saying we perform miracles in your name ? prophesy in your name ?
AND Notice how will he respond to entire christian nation !!
