Biblical Prophecy on Muhammad (pbuh) # 11
Chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels
by Maulana Muhammad Idris Kandhlavi
For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go , set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth. and he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, and chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed. (Isaiah 21 :6-7)
In this prophecy, Isaiah has referred to two prophets. first to Jesus (pbuh) and mentioning the riding upon an ass is nothing but to point out Jesus who used to enter Jerusalem riding as ass. Second to Muhammad (pbuh) and likewise mentioning the riding on camel is nothing but to point out to Muhammad (pbuh) as riding on a camel which is a particular and famous conveyance is Arabia. So, it is also a historic event he was riding on a camel*. Further, in verse 9, is a mention of the fall of Babylon, which occurred in the days of his (Muhammad) (pbuh), and not in those of Jesus or his disciples.
note
* when the prophet returned to the house of god in Mecca, he rode on camel every time. Again he was riding a camel on the day of Proclamation of Finality of the Eternal Law at Arafat .He had earlier last Mecca for Medina, when migrating, and entered Medina on a camel's back, which stepped and sat down in Medina at the place which was destined to be the last resting place of the Prophet; according to the Prophet, the camel was God-assigned and her bridles was disengaged.
