Muhammad: The First Yamani during the First Jahiliyya

MUHAMMAD PBUHAP: THE FIRST YAMANI

DURING THE FIRST JAHILIYYA

There is no doubt that the Messenger of Allah Muhammad PBUHAP was mentioned by name and attributes to the People of the Book. Among his attributes is “the Yamani”, and in clarifying this, Imam Ahmed al-Hasan PBUH says,

“Habakkuk, Chapter 3: [2 O LORD, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O LORD, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy. 3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His splendor covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. 4 His brightness was like the light; rays flashed from his hand; and there he veiled his power. 5 Before him went pestilence, and plague followed at his heels.]

The meaning:

[God came from Teman]: meaning God (Allah) came from Yemen.

And [the Holy One from Mount Paran]: meaning the Holy One

came from Mecca.

And Allah is far above coming from the sky, let alone from the earth, because coming and going require movement and therefore occurrence, thus negating the absolute divinity, so it cannot be considered that the one who comes from Teman or Yemen is Allah SWT, or that the one who comes from Paran is the Holy One SWT; for this as well as the other attributes such as the hand, which Allah is far above. [His brightness was like the light; rays flashed from his hand; and there he veiled his power. Before him went pestilence, and plague followed at his heels.]

Rather, the one who comes is the Servant of Allah Muhammad PBUHAP and his progeny PBUT after him, as they are from Mecca, and Muhammad and his progeny PBUT are Yamanis as well …

And the fact that Teman is Yemen has been mentioned even in the Gospel in the words of Jesus PBUH when he described the Queen of Yemen as the Queen of the South (or Teman).

Matthew Chapter 12: [42 The Queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.]” A Letter Proving the Unity of Personalities of the First Mahdi, the Riser and the Yamani by Alaa al-Salim, page 30.

So it is now clear that the Messenger of Allah PBUHAP was described as the Yamani to those waiting in the first Jahiliyya, and was also mentioned to them by his name. The Almighty says, ﴾“… and bringing glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmed.” But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said,

“This is obvious magic.”﴿ Surat as-Saff (The Ranks) 61:6.

This is an excerpt of a dialogue of Imam al-Retha PBUH showing evidence to the Catholicos of the Christians:

﴾ … The Catholicos said to him, “Describe him (meaning the Messenger of Allah PBUHAP).” He said, “I only describe him as Allah has described him; he is the man of the camel, the staff and the cloak, ﴾The Ummi prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the

shackles which were upon them﴿, he guides to the best way, the fairest method and straightest path. I ask you, O Catholicos, by the right of Jesus, the Spirit of Allah and His Word, do you find this description of this prophet in the Bible?” So the Catholicos bowed his head down deeply and knew that if he denied the Bible, he would have committed blasphemy so he said, “Yes, this description is in the Bible, and Jesus mentioned this prophet in the Bible. It is found in the Bible and I have acknowledged what is in it that describes Muhammad … .” When the Catholicos and the Exilarch heard this they knew that al-Retha PBUH was a scholar of the Torah and the Gospel, and so they said, “By Allah he has come with something we are not able to refute nor reject except by disbelieving in the Gospel, the Torah and the Psalms. Moses and Jesus have given glad tidings about him. But it was not authentically established for us that it is this Muhammad, as his name is Muhammad yet it is invalid for us to acknowledge his prophethood for you, and we are in doubt whether it was your Muhammad.” So Imam al-Retha PBUH said, “You use doubt as a proof, has Allah in the previous times or the latter from Adam until this day ever dispatched a prophet named Muhammad? And you find him in some of the books that Allah has sent down upon all the prophets besides Muhammad?” So they refrained from responding to him.﴿ Bihar al-Anwar: Vol 49, p. 75.

These texts are clear and evident in proving the true claim of the Messenger of Allah PBUHAP, whereas the hands of the group of liars (Musaylimah and his companions, may Allah curse them) were completely empty of these divine texts.
