Muhammad is the servant prophesied in Isaiah 42, and his actions demonstrate his role as a true prophet of God.

Isaiah 42 prophesies a servant of God who will bring justice and righteousness, and who will not tolerate idol worship. The passage specifically states that those who trust in carved images will be put to shame. However, Muhammad's actions during the Hajj, where he kissed and caressed the Black Stone, directly contradict this prophecy. This act of reverence towards an inanimate object suggests a form of idol worship, which is condemned in the very prophecy that Muslims claim points to Muhammad. Furthermore, the Hadiths recounting Muhammad's actions at the Black Stone emphasize that he and his followers engaged in rituals that could be seen as venerating an idol, which is inconsistent with the teachings of a true prophet of God. Therefore, the evidence suggests that Muhammad cannot be the servant mentioned in Isaiah 42, but rather a false prophet who misled his followers into idolatry.
