the wilderness of Paran, where he gave birth to Kedar
who is the ancestor of the Arabs, and if the sons of Kedar
had to receive revelation from God, and if the flocks of
Kedar had to come up with acceptance to a Divine altar
to cover the earth for some centuries, and then that very
land had to receive light from God, and if all the glory of
Kedar had to fail and the number of archers, the mighty
men of the children of Kedar had to diminish within a
year after the one fled from the swords and from the bent
bows - the Holy One from Paran (Hab.iii 3) is no otherthan
Muhammad (pbuh). Muhammad (pbuh) is the holy offspring of
Ishmael (pbuh) through Kedar, who settled in the wilderness
of Paran. Muhammad (pbuh) is the only Prophet through
whom the Arabs received revelation at the time when the
darkness had covered the earth. Through him, God shone
from Paran, and Makkah is the only place where the house
of God is glorified and the flocks of Kedar come up with
acceptance on its altar. Muhammad (pbuh) was persecuted
by his people and had to leave Makkah. He was thirsty and
fled from the drawn sword and the bent bow, and within
a year after his flight, the descendants of Kedar meet him
at Badr, the place of the first battle between the Makkans
and the Prophet, the children of Kedar and their numbers
of archers diminish and all the glory of Kedar fails. If
the Holy Prophet is not to be accepted as the fulfilment
of all these prophecies they will remain unfulfilled.
“The house of my glory” referred to in Isaiah Ix is the
house of God at Makkah and not the Church of Christ as
thought by Christian commentators. The flocks of Kedar,
as mentioned in (Verse 7), have never come to the Church
of Christ; and it is a fact that the villages of Kedar and
their inhabitants are the only people in the whole world
who have remained impenetrable to any influence of the
Church of Christ. Again, the mention of 10,000 saints [1] in

[1] Saints means friends of the prophet Muhammad (pbuh). (Editors).
