Was it, then Muhammad (pbuh) whom David (pbuh) calls
“my Lord” or “my Adon”? Let us see.

The arguments in favour of Muhammad (pbuh) , who is
styled “Sayyidu’ l Mursalin,” the same as “Adon of the
Prophets,” are decisive; they are so evident and explicit

and his abominable idols and wicked institutions. It was

namely, “the Bruised One”! He purged the Temple of the
Ka’ba and all Arabia of the idols, and gave light, religion,
happiness, and power to the ignorant Arab idolaters, who
in a short time spread that light into the four directions of
the earth. In the service of God, the works and the success
of Muhammad (pbuh are incomparable and unrivalled.
