opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the Lord” – Ezekiel 24:25-27. [See: NIV, NASB, DV, JPS, HCSB, ESV, KJV, Tanakh 1917 and Leixkon Biblion]
82. Whose coming the Prophets Prophesied: Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) was the Prophet who was prophesied by every Prophet.
“Behold!” as ALLAH Himself says “ALLAH made (His) covenant with the prophets, (He said): Behold that which I have given you of the Scripture and knowledge. And afterward there will come unto you a Messenger [Muhammad, on whom be peace], confirming that which ye possess. Ye shall believe in him and ye shall help him.
