Okay, I was curious as to what Christians thought about this. By the way, as Muslims, we believe in Jesus, Moses, David and all those Prophets, we also believe that Muhammad was the last and final messenger, peace be upon them all.
Ok, firstly, "Paran" is a biblical name for the part of Arabia called Hejaz where prophet Muhammad [pbuh] was born. When prophet Ishmael and his mother were driven out by Sarah; they settled in the "Wilderness of Paran" (Genesis, 21:21).
Look at the following Verse: "And he said, The LORD came from Si'-nai, and rose up from Se'-ir unto them; he shined forth from mount Pa'-ran [Mecca in Arabic], and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. (The King James Version Bible, Deuteronomy 33:2)"
When the Prophet and the Muslims re-entered Mecca, they entered and took it over (without shedding blood) with exactly 10,000 fighters. Also, the thing that Islam is known is for is its structured set of law for living.
