Abstract.

The name of the Holy Prophet is mentioned in all the Divine Books. Allah Almighty has mentioned the name of the Blessed Prophet Muhammad in every revelation and in every book. After the creation of the world, before the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), all his attributes, perfections, glory of the Prophet (PBUH) and news of his arrival in the world were announced to the Prophets before his advent. This is stated very clearly in all the heavenly books and scriptures. The People of the Book continued to distort their books in every age and they made great efforts to obliterate or change the name of the Holy Prophet from their books. But there are still traces of the Prophet's name and good news of his arrival in the modern Bible. The Bible is divided into two parts, the Old Testament, and the New Testament. The New Testament is the holy book of the ancient Jews, and it records the events of all the prophets before Moses. The New Testament contains the story of Jesus. Faith is only the name of confirming the greatness of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The worship of one God has always been practiced by most of the people of the world and the form of faith has always been the same, whether it was before or after the arrival of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).  Only the rules of Sharia had been varying for every prophet and nation till the advent of Muhammad (PBUH). Therefore all the previous Prophets, besides worshiping and preaching one God, also affirmed the greatness of Muhammad (PBUH) in all previous scriptures and urged their followers to Believe on Muhammad, which is an essential part of faith always till the day of resurrection.
