this Comforter fits the character of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh).
1. “Another Comforter”: So many Comforters (prophets) had
come and another one was yet to come.
2. “
That he may abide with you for ever”:
i.e.
there was no
need for another one to come after him, as he was the Seal of
all Prophets. The teaching
i.e
.
The Glorious Qu’ran, will
abide forever, and will remain intact, without any changes
or interpolations. In fact the Holy Qur’an remains as pure as
it was revealed, more than 1,400 years
ago
.
3.
“He will reprove the world of sin
” (
John 16:8):
All other
Prophets, Abraham, Moses, David and Solomon (pbut)
chastised their own people for sin, but not the whole world as
Muhammed (pbuh) did. He not only rooted out idolatry in
Arabia within a 23-year period, but also sent envoys to
Heraclius, the Sovereigns of the empires of Persia and Rome,
to Najashi, the King of Ethiopia and to Muqauqis, the
Governor of Egypt. Copies of his letters to these rulers are in
the Topkapi Museum in Turkey even today.
He reprimanded the Christians for changing the Unity of God
into a trinity, for having raised Jesus to Son of God, and God
Himself. It was he who condemned the Jews and Christians
for having corrupted their Scriptures, remonstrated the
birthright of Ishmael (pbuh), and cleared the Prophets from
accusations of adultery, incest, rape and idolatry.
4. “The prince of the world is judged” (
John 16:11)
. This is Satan
as explained in
John 12:31 and 14:30.
So Prophet Muhammed
(pbuh) came to chastise the entire world on account of
judgment.
5. “
The Spirit of Truth
” (
John 16:13)
. Since childhood, Prophet
Muhammed (pbuh) was called
Al-Ameen,
i.e.
the Honest and
Truthful One
; and “he will guide you unto all truth...” (
John
16:13
).
6. “
For he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall
hear, that shall he speak
” (
John 16:13
).
