Psalms Prophesy about the Qualities of the End of Time's Prophet

psalms give prophecies of the final prophet, describing him as a king saying, "to the choirmaster: according to lilies. a maskil  of sons of korah, love song. my heart overflows with a pleasing theme; i address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe. you are the most handsome of the sons of men; grace is poured upon your lips: therefore, god has blessed you forever.  gird your sword upon your thigh, o mighty one, in your splendor and majesty. in your majesty ride out victoriously for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; let your right hand  teach you awesome deeds. your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; the people fall under you. your throne, o god, is forever and ever. the scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness. you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. therefore god, your god, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.  your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia. from ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad; daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor; at your right hand stands the queen in gold of ophir. hear, o daughter, and consider, and incline your ear: forget your people and your father's house, and the king will desire your beauty. since he is your lord, bow to him. the people of tyre will seek your favor with gifts, the richest of the people. all glorious is the princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold. in many-colored robes she is led to the king with her virgin companions following behind her. with joy and gladness they are led along as they enter the palace of the king.  in place of your fathers shall be your sons; you will make them princes in all the earth.  i will cause your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore nation will  praise you forever and ever." (psalms: 45/1-17).

christians agree that this passage is a prophecy of the expected prophet, and they claim that he is jesus (pbuh). while muslims believe that, the characteristics symbolized in it belong to muhammad (pbuh), and reject that it was for jesus (pbuh) or any of the other noble prophets. there are nine characteristics of this prophet in the passage had fit mohammad (pbuh) and they are:

1)      he has a pleasant look that no one else has. “you are the most handsome of the sons of men." the christians have no right to claim that he is jesus (pbuh) as they believe that jesus fits the prophecy of (isaiah 52/ 2).  we disagree with them on that 1  even though their scholars confirm it. clement the alexandrian said: "his beauty was in his soul and his actions, as for his look he was ugly". turtilian said, "as for his (jesus) look, he lacked the physical beauty, in other words he was far from any physical glory", and similarly said martyr, oreganos, and others. 2

whoever had said that about jesus (pbuh) has no right to say that he is also: "more handsome than all men".

traces told us about the beauty of our prophet muhammad (pbuh) after god has dressed him with the prophethood. no one more handsome than him was ever seen. in the authenticated traces, al-baraa ibn malek said, [the messenger of god (muhammad pbuh) had the nicest face of all people, and he had the best shape, not too tall and not too short]. 3

2)     the message and its words came out of his lips. “grace is poured upon your lips “he was an illiterate, and his revelation was verbal unlike moses and abraham (pbut) who had written revelation. jesus (pbuh) also was literate. (luke: 4/16).

many holy bible passages confirm the illiteracy of the expected prophet. in the book of deuteronomy " and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that i command him." (deuteronomy: 18/18), and what came in isaiah "and when they give the book to one who cannot read, saying, “read this,” he says, i cannot read. " (isaiah: 29/12).

3)     he is blessed forever, the owner of an everlasting message "god has blessed you forever … your throne, o god, is forever and ever"

4)     he is the holder of a sword that is used to defeat his enemies to establish the truth and justice. “gird your sword upon your thigh, o mighty one, in your splendor and majesty. in your majesty ride out victoriously for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness, let your right hand teach you awesome deeds. your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; the people fall under you. your throne, o god, is forever and ever. the scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness." however jesus (pbuh never carried a sword, and he never defeated his enemies. he never aimed his arrows to the hearts of his enemies to spread the message of the truth; also, he was not a king among his people.

5)     he likes good deeds and goodness and hates sins and evil, like all of the prophets, but god preferred him above them “you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. therefore god, your god, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions."

6)     gifts were brought to him for his glory, and the daughters of kings are at his service or among his women. “daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor; at your right hand stands the queen in gold of ophir."

prophet (muhammad pbuh) married safeya the daughter of hoyay bin ahktab the master of his people, also the coptic maria was given to him, and shahrbeno, daughter of izdger the king of persia, was the wife of his grandson al-hussein.

7)     the nations bow to him, and the nations accept his faith with joy and cheerfulness all glorious is the princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold. in many-colored robes she is led to the king with her virgin companions following behind her."

8)     he replaces the humiliation of his people with glory " in place of your fathers shall be your sons; you will make them princes in all the earth."

9)     a decent memory is written for him for eternity. “i will cause your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore, nation will praise you forever and ever." therefore, he is “the praised” ahmad and muhammad (pbuh).
