[FONT=Arial, Arial, Helvetica][FONT=Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica]The Prophet Like unto Moses[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Arial, Helvetica]God addressed Moses: Deuteronomy 18:18:
"I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee [Moses], and will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him." [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Arial, Helvetica]1. Brethren of Israelites (descendants of Abraham through Isaac) are Ishmaelites (descendants of Abraham through Ishmael).
Jesus is here excluded, as he is an Israelite.
Otherwise it should be written "a prophet from among yourselves."
[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Arial, Helvetica]2. Is Muhammad not like unto Moses? If this is not accepted, this promise has yet to be fulfilled. The table below, taken from Al-lttihad (January-March 1982), page 41, is self explanatory:
[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Arial, Helvetica]Following is a comparison between a few crucial characteristics of Moses,
Muhammad, and Jesus which may clarify the identity of "that prophet" who was to come after Moses: [/FONT]

[/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica]Art Thou That Prophet?[/FONT]
The Jews sent priests and Levites to John the Baptist to ask who he really was. John 1:20-21:
"And he [John the Baptist] confessed and denied not; but confessed,
'I am not the Christ.'
And they asked him: 'What then? Art thou Elias? '
And he saith: 'I am not.' 'Art thou that prophet?'
And he answered: 'No."'
The crucial question here is:
Art thou that prophet?
Who was the long awaited prophet who was to come after the advent of Jesus and John the Baptist?
Was he not the one like unto Moses (Deuteronomy 18:18) who is Muhammad?
