Deuteronomy xxxiii is very significant. He (God) shined12forth from Paran, and he came with 10,000 ofsaints. Read the whole history of the wilderness of Paran and you will find no other event but when the Prophet conquered Makkah. He comes with 10,000 followers fromMadinah and re-enters “the house of my glory.” He gives the fiery law to the world, which reduced to ashes all other laws. The Comforter -the Spirit of Truth- spoken of by Jesus (pbuh) was no other than Muhammad (pbuh) himself. It cannot be taken as the Holy Ghost, as the Church theologysays. “It is expedient for you that I go away,” says Jesus (pbuh), “forifI go not away theComforter will not come unto you, but if I depart I willsend him unto you.”The words clearly show that the Comforter had to come after the departure of Jesus (pbuh), and was not with him when he uttered these words.Are we to presume thatJesus(pbuh) was devoid ofthe Holy Ghost if his coming was conditional on the going of Jesus (pbuh): besides, the way in which Jesus (pbuh) describes him makes him a human being, not a ghost? “He shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear that he shall speak.” Should we presume that the Holy Ghost and God are two distinct entities and that the Holy Ghost speaks of himself and ofwhat he hears from God? The words of Jesus (pbuh) clearly refer to some messenger from God. He calls him the Spirit of Truth, and so the Qur›an speaksof Muhammad (pbuh), nay, he has come with the Truth and verified the apostles.” [1]“(X. X).”[1] Quran, 37:37. “Nay! He has come with the (very) Truth, and he confirms (the Message of) the apostles (before him)”, The Holy Quran, English translation of the meanings and Commentary, by Abdullah Yusuf Ali., K.F.G.Q., Madinah.(Editors)
