Section: The Invalidity of Their Appeal to What They Claim Is the Speech of the Earlier Prophets

Section

Everything they have cited from the Torah, the Gospel, or other prophetic writings—peace be upon those prophets—can serve as legitimate, demonstrative evidence only if they first establish the prophethood of the person whose words they quote. This requires showing, first, that prophethood is possible and, second, that it was actually realized in that specific individual by the recognized methods used to prove a prophet’s mission.

They have done none of this. Instead, they rely on those passages as though the premise were a given that Muslims would automatically concede.

That approach is of no benefit to them for several reasons:

First: Among the figures they mention are individuals whose prophethood has not been established for Muslims, such as Micah and Amos.
