Muhammad is predicted in the Hebrew Scriptures, and his coming was already announced to the Israelites.

The Quran asserts that Muhammad is foretold in the Hebrew Scriptures, suggesting that the Jews should recognize him as they recognize their own sons. However, this claim is problematic because traditional Jewish belief maintains that the Messiah will bring about an era of peace and will end all prophecy. Therefore, if Jesus is indeed the Messiah, as Christians believe, then the prophetic age concluded with him, making Muhammad's claim to prophecy invalid. Additionally, the Jewish expectation of the Messiah includes specific criteria that Jesus did not fulfill according to Jewish tradition, further undermining the assertion that Muhammad could be a prophet in light of Jesus' role as the Messiah. Thus, the argument that Muhammad is prophesied in Jewish texts fails to hold up against the established Jewish understanding of the Messiah's role and the cessation of prophecy.
