In this view, the "new song" is the Qur'an revealed to the prophet Muhammad. ©añrat, Hazrat, Hadhrat: \Æ¥ä : His Holiness ©ishām: A book of early Islamic history mentioned by the name of its author. Sebeos, a 7th century Armenian bishop and historian, when describing the Arab conquest of his time, wrote that the Arabs “assembled and came out from Paran” [9], Professor Haseeb Shehada, an Israeli scholar and professor, in his translation of the Samaritan Torah suggested an identification of the wilderness of Paran with the desert of Western Arabia which is known today as Hijaz. The latest so-called "Biblical prophecy of Muhammad" is Isaiah 42, which mentions "Kedar" and "Sela."

In 1892, Isaiah 42:1-4 was first identified by Bernhard Duhm as one of the Servant songs in the Book of Isaiah, along with Is. Damaging media narratives which target Islam and Muslims and the resurgence of Islamic political extremist movements (as well as right wing political radicalism in recent years ) has left many Muslims/non-Muslims confused as to what Islam is on a basic level. So from their perspective, the servant of Isaiah 42 stands as an unfulfilled prophecy of nearly three thousand years as the Messiah is yet to arrive. In conclusion, when we weigh up all the characteristics of the servant that are laid out in Isaiah 42 we find that Cyrus the Great falls short in satisfying many of them. Recall that Isaiah mentions Kedar in conjunction with a ‘Sela’: “Let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice. Jewish people reject the notion that Jesus is the Messiah; they are still awaiting the arrival of the Messiah. 3 – Bukhari Kitaab al-Buyu’ (Book of Sales and Trade) Chapter 50 (The dislike of raising voices in the market). So if Muslims cannot quote from the Bible because we believe some of it is corrupted, then the author of the New Testament book of Jude is also wrong in doing so when he quotes prophecies in Enoch.

The Qur’an informs us: O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger [Muhammad] to make clear to you [the religion] after a period [of suspension] of messengers, lest you say, “There came not to us any bringer of good tidings or a warner.” But there has come to you a bringer of good tidings and a warner… [Chapter 5, verse 19]. Muslim's claim that Isaiah 42 is a prophecy of Muhammad. If it is chieftainship that you desire, we are ready to make you our paramount chief, so that we will never decide on a matter without you. It’s important to note that in the New Testament Paul quotes Isaiah and refers to it as ‘law’: In the Law it is written: “With other tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.” [1 Corinthians 14:21]. To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. Here Paul has directly quoted from Isaiah 28:11-12: Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues God will speak to this people, to whom he said, “This is the resting place, let the weary rest”; and, “This is the place of repose”— but they would not listen.

These three passages--Deuteronomy 18, Isaiah 42, and John 14--represent Islam's best attempt to find Muhammad in the Bible. This seems to indicate that this special person’s impact will be far reaching. This description is very characteristic of Prophet Muhammad’s gentle nature which the Qur’an bears testament to: It was by the mercy of God that you were gentle with them (O, Muhammad) for if you had been harsh and hard of heart they would of dispersed from around you. And I had pity. Then the Lord said, “Just as my servant Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot for three years, as a sign and portent against Egypt and Cush, so the king of Assyria will lead away stripped and barefoot the Egyptian captives and Cushite exiles, young and old, with buttocks bared—to Egypt’s shame.” [Isaiah 20:1-4].

In 1892, Isaiah 42 : 1 – 4 was identified by Bernhard Duhm as one of the servants songs in the book of Isaiah along with Isaiah 49 : 1 – 6 , Isaiah 50 : 4 – 8 , and Isaiah 52 : 13 -53 .

The coming servant will be associated with Kedar and Sela. Finally, the authors of the Bible also quote from books that are considered forgeries.
