In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Peace and Blessings be upon His servant and messenger Muhammad.
If I understand your point correctly, Muhammad if he is the Prophet referred to in Deu 18:18 must fulfill this part:
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
I want to make note of one thing, which interests me, that if the 'prophet' speaks of a thing which does not come to pass, meaning he has made an error, then he has done wrong, notice though that he is still referred to as a prophet. As for our conversation.
It would seem so. Deut refers to prophets from other gods. There is even reference to the false prophet. The only distinction then is that what he says is not spoken on behalf of the True God
Now the question arrives, are there
prophecies by[??] Muhammad that he was not personally able to influence.
I will say yes, more than I know of, I have only seen a handful in my short study, I have heard in lectures of others but have never researched them.
Qatadah provided a link with different prophecies, varying, you commented on the post-
Just re read and I am confused, now, having read your reply am confused. Are you asking for Prophecies which Muhammad made, i.e. him fulfilling the role of making prophecies as indicated in the text above from Deu. Or are you asking, this is what it seems, for other Prophecies from the Old Testament with regards to Muhammad being a prophet?
Was referring tp prophecies made by Muhammad
I will assume you are asking the second, and I will counter with a question, on an assumption you seem to hold:
You assume that other prophecies, if there are any, refer to the same prophet as Deuteronomy 18, what is that assumption based on?
It would if you do not rely on individual texts but on the overall picture ( see my explanation later on
You again state:
You see there is a hidden assumption, that all these Prophecies refer to the same Prophet. You will need to provide evidence that they do, tell us what makes you think so, before we can answer possible questions which branch from there, such as, does the Prophet refered to in Deu 18 have to be the same as, for example, Isa 9.
I hope that is clear and understandable, thanks for your patient and look forward to the reply,
Thank you for offering me the opportunity. I trust that the section that follows, will paint you a clearer picture
Servant of the Almighty,
Eesa
