His cheeks are like beds of spice yielding perfume. His eyes are like doves by the water streams, washed in milk, mounted like jewels. His head is purest gold his hair is wavy and black as a raven. My beloved is radiant and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand. Let's read the passage and see if we can spot the prophecy about Muhammad. She answers them in verses 10 through 16. Her friends respond in verse 9 by asking her, "How is your beloved better than others, most beautiful of women?" In verse 8, Solomon's bride says to her friends, "Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you-if you find my beloved, what will you tell him? Tell him I am faint with love." Let's read the so-called prophecy of Muhammad in context. But again, Muslims go to this chapter to find a prophecy about Muhammad! I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey I have drunk my wine and my milk. I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride I have gathered my myrrh with my spice. In the first verse of the chapter, Solomon says: Let's turn to chapter 5, which supposedly mentions Muhammad by name. And yet Muslims go to this book to find a prophecy about Muhammad! Your breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies. Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine.
How beautiful your sandaled feet, O prince's daughter! Your graceful legs are like jewels, the work of an artist's hands. For example, in chapter 7, verses 1-3, Solomon says to his bride: Some Muslims claim that this book can't be the Word of God, because of the way Solomon and his bride talk about each other's bodies. You will hear that word pronounced "Muhammad." Why then hide what you should believe?įor anyone who has read Song of Solomon, this is an amazing verse to cite as evidence for Islam! Song of Solomon is a short poetic book about a loving, physical relationship between Solomon and his bride (there are a variety of interpretations, but none will help turn this into a prophecy about Muhammad). Tell every Bible reader whether Jew or Christian to ask any Hebrew scholar to read the Hebrew word which appears as "altogether lovely" in the translation. You need to insist that, since it says our prophet's name in the Hebrew, the "altogether lovely" translation is nothing more than a camouflage hiding our prophet's name. It says in the Hebrew language Bibles "He is Muhammad." But English translations have "He is altogether lovely" instead of the real truth. The most significant is Song of Solomon, chapter 5, verse 16. In the Old Testament there are many references. Now what remains is for us to specify where in the Bible to find mention of our prophet. In English translation they have even translated the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as "altogether lovely", but in the Old Testament in Hebrew, the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is yet present. Similarly -im is added after the name of Prophet Muhammad In the Hebrew language -im is added for respect. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters "His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. "Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem." Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned by name in the Song of Solomon chapter 5 verse 16: For instance, popular Muslim apologists like Zakir Naik and Shabir Ally claim that Muhammad is mentioned by name in Song of Solomon 5:16. Some of the arguments our Muslim friends use seem to be based on sheer desperation.
Muslim writers, speakers, and debaters have had nearly fourteen centuries to find these prophecies, so if they can't show us where the Bible talks about Muhammad, we can only conclude that the Qur'an is wrong when it appeals to the Bible for support. The Qur'an puts Muslim apologists in a difficult position by claiming that the Bible contains clear prophecies about Muhammad (see Qur'an 7:157 and 61:6).
