Quote:Sura 7, The Quran:
https://quran.com/7?startingVerse=157
Those who follow the Messenger, the Ummi (unlettered) prophet whom they find written with them in the Torah and the Injil (The gospels), and who bids them the Fair and forbids the Unfair, and makes pure things permissible for them and makes in pure things pitted to them, and relieves them of their burden, and of the shackles that were upon them. So, those who believe in him and strengthen him, and help him and follow the light sent down with him, those are the ones who are successful."

I was puzzled my whole life because such verse doesn't exist in the Bible or the Torah; the name "Mohammed" can't be found..or so I thought until I found the verse, and I was shocked to my core since the name "Mohammed" was mentioned literally.
In the Old Testament in (Song of Solomon, Chapter 5 verse 16) the name is mentioned, but in the Hebrew text, not in the English text.
The Hebrew verse says:
https://biblehub.com/texts/songs/5-16.htm
חכו ממתקים וכלו מחמדים זה דודי וזה רעי בנות ירושלם׃
Go to Google Translate, and make the verse reads.
This is the word: מחמדים . Mohammed.
But the name was translated in the English version to "All together lovely". So a Christian or a Jew would read the chapter million times without finding Mohammed's name.
Credit to Ahmed Deedat may God have mercy on his soul:
Those three religions are the same religion. So it is no shock considering they all stem from the same fertile crescent region that the stories would overlap. But you are not proving anything, your Koran is the last in the series, just like Return Of The Jedi is the last of the original 3 Star Wars. You are working backwords in time, just like the authors of the Koran were simply rearranging the bible to suit their beliefs.
The earliest Christians were were merely writing the NT to usher in a new Messiah in their time. But even the earliest Hebrews merely stole the Yahweh character from Canaanite polytheism where Yahweh was not the top head God, but a lesser god as part of the "divine family".
Point is you are NOT making any original argument. Characters overlapping does not make your monotheistic God anymore real than the Christian or Jewish God.
