This fact is backed by the fact that many of the early muslims were learned Christians and Jews who were expecting a prophet in Arabia. When we analyse the scripture we find in the Bible in Deuteronomy 18:18 God tells Moses (peace be upon him) “I will raise up for them (the Jews) a prophet like you from among their brethren.” Christians feel this prophesy refers to Jesus (peace be upon him). However it is clear this Prophet will be like Moses (peace be upon him) and from the brethren of the Jews. The Jews are descended from Isaac (peace be upon him) and the Arabs are descendants of Ishmael (peace be upon him.) Ishmael and Isaac were brothers, the sons of Abraham (peace be upon him). Thus the brethren of the Jews are the Arabs (descendants of Ishmael). Moses and Muhammad (peace be upon him) were far more similar to one another than Jesus (peace be upon him). Both had: -Natural Births -Married -Had Children -Were initially rejected by their people -Finally accepted and led their people (both religiously and secularly) -Had to flee from their homeland -Overcame their enemies -Brought forth new laws (established God’s law) -Had Natural Deaths. All the above were similarities between Prophets' Moses and Muhammad (peace be upon them), yet they differed to Jesus (peace be upon him.) It is important to note that the Jews were waiting for the prophet at the time of Jesus (peace be upon him) – they felt this prophet (the one like Moses) was different from the Messiah/Christ. In John 1: 19-25, they asked John the Baptist (peace be upon him) whether he was Elijah, or the Christ, or “the Prophet” Thus showing that they were waiting for 2 great prophets, the Christ and “the Prophet.” Muslims believe Jesus (peace be upon him) was the Christ, and Muhammad (peace be upon him) was “the Prophet.”    More Prophecies in the Bible can be accessed from here: <a href="http://www.islamicboard.com/comparative-religion/12390-prophet-muhammad-peace-upon-him-prophecised-other-scriptures.html" target="_blank">http://www.islamicboard.com/comparat...criptures.html (Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) Prophecised in other Scriptures.)</a></blockquote>
