Prophecies of the Prophets about Muhammad (PBUH)
The Prophecy of Adam
When Adam stood upon his feet and looked toward the heavens, he saw a radiant inscription. Adam then spoke and said, “My Lord, I thank You for creating me through Your grace, and I beseech You to tell me the meaning of this writing that I see.”
God replied, “O My servant Adam, know that you are the first man I have created. The name you see written is the name of a man who will come to the earth after a long time from your lineage. He will be My Apostle, for whose sake I have created all things in the heavens and on the earth. When he comes to the world, a divine light will shine forth. His soul has been preserved in the heavenly lights for sixty thousand years before creation unfolds on earth.”
(Gospel of Barnabas Chapter 39 verses 14 to 18)
The radiant writing that Adam saw was the creed of Islam:
لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله
There is no god except God and Muhammad is the Messenger of God.

Patience and Perseverance
It is a valued statement attributed to the Holy Prophet (PBUH):
In this universe, God first created my light, and from that light He created the entire universe. This means that all prophets who came to convey the message of God were reflections of the light that shone in Muhammad (PBUH). All the prophets of God foretold his coming, and the holy scriptures also mention his future arrival.
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said, “All prophets are my brothers. I do not bring a new message. I convey the same message that my brothers before me conveyed.”
The teachings of all prophets can be summarized in one truth. God is One. He has no partner. Only He is worthy of worship, and all deities besides Him are false.
Every prophet of God lived through trials and circumstances in their lives. They faced hardship and suffering while conveying the message of God, and God granted them patience and perseverance. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) embodied all of these circumstances and qualities within himself.
The Holy Prophet (PBUH), like Noah, preached the word of God both privately and publicly.
Like Abraham, he dissociated himself from his people and migrated to another city.
Like David, he passed safely through his enemies on the night of his migration.
Like Job, he endured three years of distress and hardship in the Valley of Abu Talib with patience and perseverance.
Like Jonah, he spent three days in the Cave of Thawr during his journey of migration.
Like Moses, who freed the people of Israel from the tyranny of Pharaoh, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) liberated northern Arabia from the Turk ruler, eastern Arabia from Iranian control, and southern Arabia from the rule of the Abyssinian king.
Like Solomon, he built a magnificent House of God in Madinah.
Like Joseph, during times of drought and famine, he sent provisions to his once faithless and persecuting brethren of Makkah and, on the day of the conquest of Makkah, forgave them graciously.
Like Christ, he was rejected and denounced, yet he faced all of this with endurance and fortitude.
Like John the Baptist, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) delivered the message of God in cities, towns, and the wilderness of the desert.
