Muhammad is not explicitly mentioned by name in the Bible or Torah.
The key points are:
- No direct mention: There is no verse in the Hebrew Bible (Torah) or Christian Bible that explicitly names Muhammad or uses a clear variant of his name.
- Interpretive claims: Some Muslim scholars point to certain passages (like Deuteronomy 18:18) as prophetic references to Muhammad, but these interpretations are disputed and require reading specific meanings into the text rather than finding explicit mentions.
- Scholarly consensus: Biblical scholars and historians outside of Islamic tradition generally do not accept that Muhammad is directly referenced in these earlier scriptures.
- Different interpretations: The passages that Muslims sometimes cite as referring to Muhammad are typically interpreted by Jews and Christians as referring to other figures (like Jesus in Christian interpretation, or future prophets within the Israelite tradition in Jewish interpretation).
So while there are theological debates about whether certain biblical passages might allude to or prophesy about Muhammad, there is no clear, explicit mention of him by name in either the Torah or the Bible. The claims about his presence in these texts are based on interpretive arguments rather than direct textual evidence.
