00:00My name is Jonathan and I'm a student. My question to you is, you mentioned before about Prophet Muhammad in the Gospel of John, for example.
00:10But my question to you is, what is your references?
00:15What I want to talk to you is, when you say that Prophet Muhammad is in the Gospel of John, which commentary of the Bible, which church fathers who say that there is a Prophet Muhammad in the Bible?
00:28For example, I cannot say that Jesus is God according to the Koran, because the Koran never say that Jesus is God.
00:38And I must study the Koran, I must study the Sira, the Tafsir, the Hadith, so I cannot say that my religion is perfect because the Koran says so.
00:49So my challenge to you is, which verse of the Bible that says that Muhammad is in the Bible, and where is the references I challenge you now?
01:01From the church fathers, from the modern...
01:03Brother, I ask the question, can I give which Bible am I referring to?
01:08Then you ask which church? Church is not important. We have to follow the Bible.
01:12Bible is important, not church. If church makes a mistake, you can't say that the Bible has made a mistake.
01:19I know better than the church, so I am not going to give you the church.
01:23If you quote the Koran, any verse, I will read the translation, I have to follow it.
01:28If someone gives a commentary, if it matches, I take it.
01:32So please don't believe in the church. The church has made many mistakes.
01:35Yes, you want to know which Bible I am speaking from?
01:38I am quoting from King James Version. King James Version from the Protestant Bible.
01:43Okay.
01:44Sanctified by King James 5. Correct? I gave you the reference.
01:48Now I am giving you verbatim quotation.
01:50You want from the Old Testament or the New Testament?
01:53Both. Up to you.
01:55So which you prefer, old or new?
01:57New Testament.
01:57Okay, New Testament. It's mentioned in the Gospel of John, chapter number 14, verse number 16.
02:03Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, himself says.
02:05Now there is something like a red letter.
02:08Red letter Bible means everything what is there in the Bible are not spoken by the Almighty God.
02:14Except what is read, a very small percentage, 1-2% is from God.
02:20Who says that? The scholars of Christianity.
02:22So there is something like a red letter Bible.
02:24What I am quoting to you are in read.
02:27A very small percentage, less than 1% of the Bible are in read.
02:30I am quoting you in the main words of Almighty God.
02:33Gospel of John, chapter number 14, verse number 16.
02:37Says, Jesus Christ, peace be upon himself, says.
02:40I shall raise the up of...
02:42He says that, I shall pray to my Father to give you another Comforter who shall abide with you forever.
02:50Further.
02:51Gospel of John, chapter number 15, verse number 26.
02:54When the Comforter shall come, he who is sent by my Father, he shall glorify me.
03:01Gospel of John, chapter number 16, verse number 17.
03:05It is expedient for you that I go away.
03:07For if I go not away, the Comforter shall not come.
03:10For if I depart, shall I send him.
03:11Now, the Bible is not in English language.
03:14Brother, do you know the Bible is not in English language?
03:17The Bible is not even in Hebrew language.
03:19Which Bible in Hebrew language?
03:22The New Testament is in the Greek Bible.
03:25No, it is not in Hebrew.
03:26Your knowledge is weak.
03:28The New Testament in the Greek, Dr. Knight.
03:30That's right.
03:31New Testament is in Greek and Aramaic.
03:34The present Hebrew Bible is a translation from Greek and Aramaic.
03:37Show me.
03:38Show me the manuscripts.
03:40There is no manuscript.
03:41The original Bible is not in Hebrew, New Testament.
03:44It is in Greek and Aramaic.
03:46I have in my library, I have got 200 different types of Bible.
03:50What I am quoting to you is from Gospel of...
03:53I am quoting to you from King James Version.
03:55Now, let me tell you.
03:56Let me complete my answer.
03:57The word used for Comforter here in Aramaic is...
04:01It is Paracletos.
04:04But in the original manuscript, Paracletos, they have translated as Comforter.
04:08What is the name of the manuscripts?
04:11I am telling you King James Version.
04:13King James Version.
04:14No, from the Greek or from the Aramaic?
04:17Aramaic, but you don't understand English.
04:19Okay.
04:20It's in Greek and Aramaic, two languages, the manuscripts.
04:23I am quoting you the reference.
04:25If you don't understand, the problem is yours.
04:28The original, I am quoting you the Aramaic word, Paracletos.
04:32Paracletos actually means a good friend.
04:36But they translate it as Comforter.
04:39The original script, if you go to the manuscript, it says Paracletos, not Paracletos.
04:44Do you know the difference between Paracletos and Paracletos?
04:47Do you know Aramaic?
04:49No, I don't know.
04:49Okay, so I am telling you, listen to me.
04:51Yeah, show me.
04:52What is the name of the manuscript?
04:53What is the Aramaic?
04:55What is the Aramaic version?
04:56No, no, no, it's in English.
04:59I want from the Aramaic.
05:00No, King James version is not English.
05:02I'm sorry, have you read John, you mentioned from John 14.
05:06Have you read John 16, 7?
05:07Jesus said he will send the Comforter.
05:11Does that mean if Prophet Muhammad is the Spirit?
05:15He's not the Spirit.
05:16Yeah, he's the Comforter.
05:18Does that mean that Jesus sent Muhammad?
05:21Yes.
05:21Is that Jesus God?
05:23You will not believe that.
05:24You are equal.
05:25You will not believe that.
05:26You will listen to what it said.
05:27I will ask my father to send the Comforter.
05:31Who is the Father?
05:31But Jesus says.
05:33Listen to me.
05:34Don't argue.
05:35First, you're not listening to me and you're asking a question.
05:38This is a question that I'm not debating time.
05:40If you can't understand English, give people a chance.
05:42Okay.
05:43Listen to me, hear correctly, then ask.
05:46I'm quoting original Aramaic, you're saying which Aramaic?
05:49Do you know Aramaic?
05:50You don't know Aramaic.
05:51So you don't know Aramaic, it's not my problem.
05:53You Google.
05:55Okay.
05:55Use your internet mobile and see what does Paracletos mean.
05:59Wait, don't argue.
06:01Jesus Christ said, I will ask my father to send Comforter.
06:05Now you're saying Jesus will send a Comforter.
06:07You don't understand English.
06:08Gospel of John chapter 14 verse number 16 says, I will ask my father to send a Comforter who will abide with you forever.
06:16Who will send?
06:17Father, not Jesus, please be upon him.
06:19Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7 says, it is expedient for you that I go away.
06:24Jesus Christ is saying, it is expedient that he goes away.
06:28For if I go not away, the Comforter shall not come.
06:31Prophet Muhammad will not come.
06:33If I go, shall I send him.
06:34He shall glorify me.
06:36Very clear.
06:37If you can't understand English, it's not my problem.
06:40I'm going back to the original.
06:42Original word is Paracletos.
06:44Paracletos, if you translate, means the praiseworthy.
06:46If you translate praiseworthy into Arabic, it means Muhammad.
06:51So Muhammad by name is mentioned in the New Testament as Paracletos.
06:57He is also mentioned in the Old Testament.
07:00Song of Solomon, chapter 5, verse number 16.
07:03Hikkom muhammad saqim, be muhammadim.
07:06Zayuzi, Zairayev of Jerusalem.
07:08The word is Muhammadim.
07:09In Semitic languages, they add M for respect.
07:12So to the word of Muhammad, they added M to become Muhammadim.
07:16And they translate as, his mouth is most sweet.
07:19He is altogether lovely.
07:20He is my beloved.
07:22O daughters of Jerusalem.
07:23These are references.
07:25Furthermore, in the Gospel of John, chapter number 16, verse number 12 to 14.
07:29Jesus Christ, peace be upon you, said that I have many things to say unto you,
07:33but he cannot bear them now.
07:35For he, when the Spirit of truth shall come, he shall guide you unto all truth.
07:39He shall not speak of himself.
07:40All that he shall speak.
07:42He shall glorify me.
07:43This cannot be the Holy Spirit.
07:45Holy Spirit cannot be...
07:47According to you.
07:48Brother, can you please not interject the speaker?
07:50I have read to you the rules of the question and answer.
07:53Okay, maybe, maybe...
07:53I think you don't understand English.
07:55Okay.
07:55When you ask a question, you have to listen to the answer.
07:57Can you please stay silent until the answer is completed?
08:00You will be given the chance to answer the question.
08:02If you don't speak English, if you can't understand English, the problem is you are not mine.
08:08Correct?
08:08You can read the translation if you understand English.
08:12You are interjecting.
08:13Why?
08:15Why?
08:16You don't understand English?
08:17You are not supposed to interject.
08:18I'm listening to you.
08:19I'm listening to you.
08:20After I finish, you are not listening to me.
08:24You are giving wrong statement.
08:25You are saying Jesus said, send Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
08:28Where did he say that?
08:30I will ask my father to send.
08:32But, but you say it's referred to the prophet Muhammad.
08:36Yes.
08:37Yes.
08:37Jesus is saying, I will ask my father to send prophet Muhammad.
08:42Okay.
08:43Who says that?
08:44Gospel of John, chapter number 14, verse number 16.
08:48Do you know what does Gospel of John, chapter 14, verse 16 say?
08:51If you don't know, open your Bible and read.
08:53Yes.
08:53Do you have a mobile?
08:55Yeah, yeah.
08:55Okay, open.
08:56Type there, Gospel of John.
08:58Type.
08:59But, if you can't remember what I'm saying.
09:01I remember what you say.
09:02But, but to understand.
09:03What does Gospel of John, chapter 14, verse 16 say?
09:06It's about, about the comforter.
09:08No, repeat, repeat.
09:09No, no, no.
09:09But, to understand the Bible.
09:11There's a repeat Gospel of John, chapter 14.
09:13You have a commentary to understand, Dr. Knight.
09:15Repeat, repeat, repeat, 14, 16.
09:16If you can't repeat, then keep your mouth shut.
09:19Okay.
09:19Can you repeat, 14, 16?
09:21I'm just saying.
09:23Can you repeat, yes or no?
09:25Yes.
09:26Repeat.
09:27Go ahead.
09:27Take your mobile phone out.
09:29I'll read, I'll read.
09:29If you don't know by heart, I'm giving you a chance to open your Bible.
09:34You are not like me, who can remember from the brain.
09:36So, the problem is, you don't know your Bible, yet you're arguing.
09:41Don't waste the time of so many people.
09:43You are, you are acting like a fool in front of everyone.
09:46Not Dr. Knight, your question is over.
09:48Okay.
09:49Not okay, finish.
09:50You ask the question, I give the answer.
09:52Okay.
09:53What okay?
09:53Go behind the cube.
09:55Okay, thank you, Dr. Knight.
09:56A student, who is essentially asking,
10:00You say Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is mentioned in the Bible, specifically in
10:04the Gospel of John.
10:06But what is your proof?
10:08Which Bible commentary?
10:10Which church fathers?
10:12Or which scholars support this?
10:14Give me actual references.
10:15And just as I cannot say Jesus is God unless the Quran says so, you cannot say Muhammad,
10:21peace be upon him, is in the Bible, unless the Bible clearly says it.
10:25So, where exactly is the verse and reference?
10:28Dr. Zakir Naik to provide exact biblical references, not just interpretation, and also asking why
10:34he ignores the opinions of the church fathers if they disagree.
10:38Dr. Zakir Naik's method is based on the Quranic teaching that Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon
10:43him, was foretold in earlier scriptures.
10:45Muslims believe that the original Torah and Gospel contain prophecies about Muhammad, peace
10:50be upon him, but over time, the texts were changed or mistranslated.
10:55Yet, some signs still remain.
10:58The original Greek word in manuscripts is parakletos, meaning advocate or helper.
11:04However, Dr. Naik points out that some early texts may have used parakletos, meaning the
11:09praised one or the praiseworthy.
11:11In Arabic, the praised one translates to Muhammad.
11:14Therefore, he argues that this is a direct prophecy by name.
11:18Why not rely on church commentary?
11:21Dr. Naik replied that the Bible itself is the authority, not the church's interpretations.
11:27The church, in Islamic view, has made mistakes over time, including doctrinal changes like
11:33the Trinity, which are not supported by the actual words of Jesus.
11:36So, instead of relying on church opinion, Dr. Naik reads the scripture directly and compares
11:42it with the original Greek, Aramaic wording.
11:45From the Islamic point of view, Jesus, peace be upon him, was a prophet, not God.
11:51He foretold the coming of another prophet.
11:53That prophet matches Muhammad, peace be upon him, in description and mission.
11:57Parts of the Bible today still carry traces of this prophecy, despite centuries of textual
12:02changes.
12:04Muslims do not claim that the current Bible is perfectly preserved, but they believe enough
12:08truth remains to point to Muhammad, peace be upon him, if one reads carefully.
12:13Jonathan's question was about evidence, and Dr. Zakir Naik's answer was to directly quote
12:18the Gospel of John and the Song of Solomon, analyze the original language, and show that
12:23periklytos praised one refers to Muhammad, peace be upon him.
12:27From the Islamic perspective, these verses are remnants of earlier revelations confirming
12:32what the Quran says, that Muhammad, peace be upon him, was prophesied by name in previous
12:37scriptures.
12:38Furthermore, Dr. Zakir Naik stresses that this prophecy is not isolated.
12:43Across different parts of the Bible, there are consistent signs of a coming prophet, who
12:48would bring a complete message, guide people into all truth, and remain as a lasting guide
12:53for humanity.
12:54In the Islamic belief, Muhammad, peace be upon him, fulfilled all these conditions he came
12:58with the Quran, which Muslims see as the final, preserved revelation, and his teachings
13:05remain unchanged for over 1,400 years.
13:08The fact that Jesus, peace be upon him, says in John 16, 12, I have yet many things to
13:14say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now, shows that his mission was not the final stage,
13:20and another messenger was necessary to complete the message of God.
