External Evidence:

Old Testament (Taurah).

Ahmad. The jews were given the good news of the coming of a great prophet at the time when the Temple of Solomon was burned down and they had suffered long in captivity.

"And I will shake all nations , and the Himda of all nations will come; and I will fill this house with Glory, says the Lord of hosts. Mine is the Silver, Mine is the gold, says the Lord of hosts' the Glory of my last house shall be greater than that of the first one, says the Lord of hosts; and in this place I will give "Shalom,says the Lord of hosts; (Haggai,II. 7-9).

The word Himda is almost identitical in meaning to Ahmad, which means commendable, praiseworthy,coveted and desired.

Islam. Likewise , the word Shalom is identitical in meaning with Islam. Both means Peace, Submission and Total Surrender.

There is another prophecy in the Old testament which gives support to this view" Behold, I will send my messanger and he shall prepare the way before me; suddenly he will come to his temple. He is the Adonai(that is,the Lord) whom you desire, and the messanger of the Covenant with whom you are pleased. Lo, he is coming,says the Lord of Hosts" (Malakhi III. 1)

This sudden coming to the temple of the last messanger of Allah is confirmed be the Holy Quran in these words."Glory to Allah Who did take his servant for a journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque (the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem), Whose neighbourhood We did bless , that We might Show him some of our Signs. Surely He hears and Sees" (Quran 17:1).

You cannot deny these clear signs of prophecy for prophet Muhammad (Salla Allah Alai Wassallam), and Surely I believe, the one who deny yet, is the highest order of ignorant. Truth is Truth whethar you accept or not it will remain Truth.
