Is Prophet Muhammad mentioned in Holy Bible , Torah or any other Jewish scriptures?

Muhammad is not explicitly mentioned by name in the Bible or Torah.



The key points are:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Scholarly consensus: Biblical scholars and historians outside of Islamic tradition generally do not accept that Muhammad is directly referenced in these earlier scriptures.
  4. 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.

Daily Prayers
The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried, He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
