MUHAMMAD (PBUH) PROPHESISED IN THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY:
Almighty God speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18:
"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."
The Christians say that this prophecy refers to Jesus (pbuh) because Jesus (pbuh) was like Moses (pbuh). Moses (pbuh) was a Jew, as well as Jesus (pbuh) was a Jew. Moses (pbuh) was a Prophet and Jesus (pbuh) was also a Prophet.
If these two are the only criteria for this prophecy to be fulfilled, then all the Prophets of the Bible who came after
Moses (pbuh) such as Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist, etc. (pbut) will
fulfill this prophecy since all were Jews as well as prophets.
However, it is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who is like Moses (pbuh):
i)
Both had a father and a mother, while Jesus (pbuh) was born miraculously without any male intervention.
[Mathew 1:18 and Luke 1:35 and also Al-Qur'an 3:42-47]
ii)
Both were married and had children. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not marry nor had children.
iii)
Both died natural deaths. Jesus (pbuh) has been raised up alive. (4:157-158)
Muhammad (pbuh) is from among the brethren of Moses (pbuh). Arabs are brethren of Jews. Abraham (pbuh) had two sons: Ishmail and Isaac (pbut). The Arabs are the descendants of Ishmail (pbuh) and the Jews are the descendants of Isaac (pbuh).

Your criteria for Muhammad being like Moses is a joke, lol. They had mothers and fathers, were married and had kids. That describes most people. It's really funny that you would even use this as proof!
To say that Christians only have two reasons how Jesus and Moses are alike is even funnier.
Moses and Jesus were both saved from being killed as infants. Both the would-be killers died and word was sent that it was safe to return home.
Moses and Jesus both performed miracles. We all know Muhammad didn't.
Moses and Jesus saved people. Moses saved a Nation, Jesus saves us all. Who did Muhammad ever save?
Moses and Jesus were not illiterate.
Moses and Jesus both had a direct relationship with God. Mo did not. He only had a spirit.
Moses and Jesus were both rejected by Israel at first.
Both were raised by stepfathers.
Muhammad just made things up and Muslims, such as yourself, continue to do the same.
God Bless.

Great food for thought! Alhamdulillah!
I think the 21st chapter of Genesis should be re-read. There are contradictions in it. Why would The Almighty want Abraham, in his old age, to break his back out, thereby ruining his health, trying to pick up a very heavy teenager and placing that teenager on his mother's shoulders? Why are Muslims supposed to believe and accept this? This has absolutely nothing to do with a sacred covenant.
Are people so covenant-driven that anything goes? The covenant The Almighty made with Abraham was not an "at all costs" covenant. It was sacred, and must be answered for. Losing all common sense and intelligence regarding this issue makes no sense.
Was Ishmael really illegitimate, or do people want him to be illegitimate because Isaac was "chosen"?

33:40. Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal of the Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things. Ahmadies are made confused from the meaning of " Khaatam Annabiyyeen" - The seal of the prophets, it can be translated as, - A seal OR as - A rubber stamp this "rubber stamp" translation suits to Ahmadies , but it should be an offence to our beloved prophet Sall Allah o Elehe Wassallam.

How can you say that Jesus was raised from the dead if Muslims say he did not die on the cross?
If Jesus was a prophet, he prophesied that he would die and suffer at the hands of wicked men, and would be raised on the third day.
So which is it?
If he was a great prophet, he told the truth.
If not, the Quran is wrong in calling him a great prophet.
Which Jesus do you follow?
The one who is, or the one that others have made up?

Mohammed did not perform great miracles as Moses did before great multitudes, neither did God speak to Mohammed bofore multitudes, ..Jesus cured, multiplied bread, resurrected the dead and God several times acknowledged Jesus (as he did Moses by summoning Mosees to the top of the mount horeb in full view of all the Jewish people) infront of multitudes as when he said This is My beloved Son, Listen to Him. Through Moses God gave manna and water to the Hungry and thirsty Jews, through Jesus he has given the Word of Life and the Water of Grace and the Holy Spirit

I would not say that your argument is convincing or even reasonable. There are a number of prophecies that Christians recognize to be Messianic and a number which Jews consider to be Messianic. I strongly doubt that the majority of these even come close to applying to your prophet.
From my atheist perspective, I have extreme problems with a god that waited through 200,000 years of human history to "reveal his truth" and then chose a single race to reveal it to.

If Mohammed was a true prophet would he have not foretold the re- grouping of Jews in Modern Israel?

If you read the Koran , Surah VII Ayaha 102-133 you will see that Mohamed got the story of Moses all wrong, so how can Mohamed be a prophet?

My question is:
If you Muslims feel the Bible is so Corrupted,
then why do you quote Deuteronomy 18:18 and John 16:13
as Uncorrupted prophecies of Muhammad???
