The Prophet (PBUH) Of Islam And The Bible - a lecture delivered by Sheikh Ahmed Deedat in the University Of Geneva on March 19, 1987.

In This video Sheikh Ahmed Deedat explains that the last prophet of Islam, Muhammad (pbuh), is not only mentioned in the Qur'an but also in the Bible.

Sheikh Ahmed Deedat:
In 1986, the King Faisal Foundation awarded the King Faisal International Prize for SERVICE TO ISLAM, to a South African who is more or better known than many dignitaries in their own countries. This was the first time that this prestigious award has been awarded to a South African. The recipient of this award was a man totally dedicated to his faith and its propagation and who was not afraid to challenge any one to a debate to settle once and for all the matter, who has the good news right? He was none other than Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, reverently known and called UNCLE by those who hold him in high esteem and admiration.

The award came after a lifetime of struggle to propagate Islam and to defend Islam against the onslaught of the missionaries. Finally, he was given recognition by the international Muslim community that he deserved and focused more sharply the attention of the Muslim world on the most important aspect of his work, the challenge to propagate Islam. This was his life long ambition to focus the Muslim world's attention and resources on the propagation of Islam, and at last he succeeded. What a moment of jubilation, achievement and personal gratification for Sheikh Deedat the award was, a turning point in his life.

Sheikh Deedat did not have much formal schooling, but he was self-taught through experience and a penchant for reading, debating, discussion, and a profound sense of commitment to a mission and goal. He was driven and goal oriented. He was focused and never let up until the job was done. He was sharp, perceptive, forthright, fiery, and daring in his challenge of those whom he debated, particularly against those who equal his missionary zeal and sense of audacity. Formal schooling did not destroy his creative prowess, his tenacity, ambition, drive, and sheer daring to swim upstream.

Sheikh Deedat was more a scholar of the Bible than the Qur'an, and was more familiar and adroit with its teachings. He had an insight and perspective of the Bible which made many Christians he came into contact with rethink and re-examine their faith, particularly those aspects of the Bible and the Qur'an that deal with the divine mission and life of Prophet Jesus.

On May 3, 1996, Sheikh Ahmed Deedat suffered a stroke which left him paralyzed from the neck down, and also meant that he could no longer speak or swallow. He was flown to a hospital in Riyadh, where he was taught to communicate through a series of eye-movements. He spent the last nine years of his life in a bed in his home in Verulam, South Africa, encouraging people to engage in da'wah. He continued to receive hundreds of letters of support from around the world. During these years, rumors spread throughout the Internet that he was already dead, and even some websites that contained his pamphlets mentioned as early as 2002 that he was dead.

On August 8, 2005, Ahmed Deedat finally succumbed to his prolonged illness and died at his home in Trevennen Road, Verulam in the province of KwaZulu Natal.

Jesus is called the Son of God, and not a son by adoption, but one born out of the essence of the Father from eternity.That Holy Thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God," Luke 1, 35. 32. John expressly states of Jesus: "We saw His glory, the glory as of the Only-begotten of the Father," John 1, 14. Jesus Himself does not reject the confession of Nathanael: "Thou art the Son of God," John 1, 50,

excellent videos

[KUS25]

Jazakallah my brother for posting this video

[rulllar]

you are outright deceiving yourself for believing muhammad is spelt like this. a simple search on google shows plenty of links to muhammad written מוחמד but only sites related to pets and other things written without the vav.. so please don't accuse me of things as a way of turning a simple spelling error you make in to a personal attacks.

[rulllar]

i just explained to you that you cannot write the name of muhammad without vav in hebrew. Therefore the spelling is DIFFERENT.

a simple internet search reveals this.

In any case, again, even if the spellings are of similar roots, there is no demonstration it refers to the person.

Why accuse me of blindness when you are the one to reject the spelling of Muhammad? Thats a cop out from the fact that muhammad is spelt with a vav. You are the one rejecting this not me. THERE IS A VAV!

[centuryatlas]

Who is saying that vav is not in the hebrew alphabet? In fact Arabic has a similar letter pronounced as "wow" literally. Muhammad is spelt the same way in Arabic as in Hebrew.

ﻢ - mim - --- מ - mem

ﺡ - ha - --- ח - chet

ﻢ - mim - --- מ - mem

ﺩ - dal - --- ד - dalet

מחמד---Muhammad---محمّد

You must be either physically blind if not, spiritually blind not to see this. Saam and good luck on The Day of Judgement.

[rulllar]

you are still drawing completely illogical conclusions. Lets say that the definitions are similar (eg similar root words) ... in hebrew means beloved one, in arabic 1000 years later it means lovely one... that only shows similar linguistics.. it doesn't show at all that Muhammad the man is mentioned in any way.. thats a completely illogical case to make.

[rulllar]

sorry bro, you are wrong. It's 5 letters, not added vowels. You are misinterpreting Vav as a vowel which is later added, this is wrong. Vav is one of the 22 letters.

[rulllar]

You are wrong. Vav is a letter in the alphabet. Go look in to it. The way to use Vav is to sometimes add a dot instead of it to signify it's there. However it's always been a letter. and Muhammad has always been written with a vav, whether as a dot or as a letter, it's the same thing and it's not the same as מחמד

[rulllar]

no. please learn your hebrew letters.

I appriciate the attempt, but muhammad is written מוחמד

with a vav.
