The Tidings of the Old and New Testament about the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) Of Islam

Quranic teachings clearly state that prior to the advent of Islam, People of the Book were awaiting the appearance of a great prophet in Jazitat al-Arab. The holy Quran also states that when the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) of Islam declared his prophethood, they knew him like their children. This suggests that there existed accurate descriptions about the Prophet in their oral and written tradition. It is plainly expressed in the Quran that Jesus (p.b.u.h.) had announced the coming of the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) under the name of Ahmad to his followers. In addition to all these cases, the most controversial claim of the Quran is that Jews and Christians could easily find out the characteristics of the Prophet and his followers in the Old and New Testament used by the People of the Book at the time of the revelation of the Quran. The serious question raised today is that assuming that the present Jewish and Christian holy book is the one that was wildly used at the time of the revelation of the Quran, which part or parts of it does the claim of the Quran corresponds to?Specifying the corresponding parts of the Old and New Testament, this article examines the cases implied or referred about the Prophet of Islam in the present holy book of Jews and Christians.
