Prophet Muhammad [Saw] in Judaism scriptures?

 The Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam share common roots and narratives, including the figures of revered prophets. While Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is central to Islam, some Muslims also look to Jewish scriptures for potential references to him. In this blog, we'll delve into the perspectives surrounding Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in Jewish scriptures.

  1. The Torah and the Promise of a Prophet: In the Torah, the foundational text of Judaism, there are references to the coming of a prophet. Deuteronomy 18:18 is often cited, where God says, "I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him." Some Muslims believe that this verse alludes to Prophet Muhammad (SAW), drawing parallels between Moses and Muhammad (SAW) as prophets of God.

  2. The Song of Solomon 5:16 - "Mahamadim": The Song of Solomon 5:16 contains the word "Mahamadim" in Hebrew, which some Muslims interpret as a reference to Prophet Muhammad (SAW). While this interpretation is not universally accepted, it reflects the diverse ways in which religious texts can be understood across different faith traditions.

  3. Isaiah 42 - The Servant of the Lord: Isaiah 42 describes a servant of the Lord who will bring justice to the nations. Some Muslims see parallels between the qualities described in this chapter and the life and mission of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). However, interpretations of this passage may vary widely among scholars and believers.

  4. Jeremiah 29:10 - The Promise of Return: In Jeremiah 29:10, there is a promise of return after a period of exile. Some Muslims connect this idea with the migration (Hijra) of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) from Mecca to Medina, viewing it as a significant event in his life.
