The Holy Qur’an (3:81)
And (recall) when God took the Covenant of (all) the Prophets (saying), "Take whatever I gave you from the Book and H'ikmah (its understanding), and afterwards there will come to you a Messenger (i.e. MUHAMMAD ) confirming what is with you; You must then believe in him and help him!" God said: "Do you agree and will you take up My Covenant (that will be binding upon you)?" they said: "We agree." He (God) said: "Then Bear Witness! (to this) – And I am with you among the witnesses."

The Manifestation of “Blessings” in Abraham’s Descendants
God’s Promise to Abraham to “Bless” his descendants manifested itself through his son Isaac in the following: 1. Prophethood
ex: Jacob, Job, Moses, David, John, and Jesus (etc.)
2. Inheriting the Holy Lands3. A Great Nation4. Scripture - (i.e. Revelation/God’s
Words) QUESTION?• Is God’s promise of “Blessings” limited to
Isaac’s Branch?• Would the boundless “Blessings” of God be
given to Ismael?

• In Hebrew Faran - simply means ‘the 2 who fled’.
• In Arabic Fârân - is the Duel form of the root- ‘Farra’, meaning: ‘two person that run away’ referring to Hagar & Ishmael just as it is in Hebrew. In the Arabic case Faran means: ‘The two who separated themselves from the others by running away, immigrating (for God’s sake).

illiterate, could not read or write)
1st of His Matchless Characteristics:
The Holy Qur’an (8:157)
Those who follow the Messenger who isأمي NOT LEAENED - (can not read or write), whom they find mentioned in their own Book, in the Torah and the Gospel; For he commands them what is good and just, and forbids them from what is evil and impure; He releases them from the heavy burdens and from binding that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honor him, help him, and follow the Light which is sent down with him; It is they who will be Successful.

Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus)

"The whole word is not worth the day on which the Song of Songs was given to Israel; for all the writings are Holy, but the Song of Songs is The Holiest of the Holy."

The Bible’s Song of Songs
(10) My beloved is dazzling yet ruddy. He stands out among 10,000 men. [NASB]
(16) His speech is most sweet, and he is Altogether Desirable -
ים ד� מ� �ח This is my beloved and this is my friend O daughters מ�of Jerusalem. [RSV]
(14) His hands are as rings of gold set with beryl: His body is as ivory work overlaid with sapphires. [ASV]
(13) His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as banks of sweet herbs: his lips are as lilies, dropping liquid myrrh. [ERV]
(15) His legs are pillars of alabaster set on pedestals of pure gold; His appearance is like Lebanon Choice as the cedars. [NASB]
(11) His head is as the finest gold: his locks as branches of palm trees, black as a raven. [Douay-Rheims Bible]
… the most chief among ten thousand. [American KJV]

*Mahammadim - The “m” in Hebrew linguistically indicates plural of respect and royalty. Its addition to a word expresses Nobility and Grandeur. ex: “Alahim”= God the Glorious. So Mahammadim means: [Mahammad the Great or Noble] *Dodee – translated as ‘beloved’, but in Hebrew it actually means Paternal Uncle- (father’s brother); translated as such at least five times in Bible in other places.
