Muhammad is foretold in the Gospel of St. for Kedar was a son of Ismail and the name is used for the Arab nation: in the New Testament as it now exists. 18: and the rise of the Arab nation in Isaiah.

In the Old Testament as it now exists, Muhammad is foretold in Deut. The argument is: You (People of the Book) are bound by your own oaths, sworn solemnly in the presence of your own Prophets. Against all odds the Muslims won a brilliant victory, and many of the enemy leaders, including Abu Jahl, were killed.Ĭf. The Makkan army, well-armed and well-equipped, numbered over a thousand and had among its leaders some of the most experienced warriors of Arabia, including Abu Jahl, the inveterate foe and persecutor of Islam. The Muslim force consisted of only about 313 men, mostly ill-armed, but they were led by Muhammad, and they were fighting for their Faith. He called for armed aid from Makkah, The battle was fought in the plain of Badr, about 150 kilometers south-west of Madinah.

The Commentators usually understand the verses "of established meaning" (muhkam) to refer to the categorical orders of the Shariat (or the Law), which are plain to everyone's understanding. It is very fascinating to take up the latter, and exercise our ingenuity about its meaning, but it refers to such profound matters that are beyond human language and though people of wisdom may get some light from it, no one should be dogmatic, as the final meaning is known to Allah alone.
