Difficulty speaking of biblical prophecies  
Accounts of some scholars who attested that

preliminary issues

The Bible is the sacred text of Judaism and Christianity. The Christian Bible consists of the Old Testament and the New Testament with the Catholic and Orthodox versions of the Old Testament is a little more because of their acceptance of certain books are not accepted as scripture by Protestants big. The Jewish Bible includes only the books known to Christians as the Old Testament . Moreover, the provisions of the Jews and Christians canons differ considerably. [“Bible.”  Encyclopædia Britannica from Encyclopædia Britannica Premium Service.  (http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9079096)] The Prophet Muhammad was prophesied in the Old Testament and the New Testament.
 

Jesus and the apostles are believed to have spoken Aramaic. Aramaic continued in wide use until about 650 AD , when it was replaced by Arabic. [“Aramaic language.”  Encyclopædia Britannica from Encyclopædia Britannica Premium Service. (http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9009190)] Today Bible is not , however , based on the Aramaic manuscripts , but the Greek and Latin versions .
Quoting the Bible prophecies does not mean that Muslims today accept the whole Bible as God's revelation .
 

 It is a prerequisite for the acceptance of a prophet foretold by the prophet before. Moses was a prophet of Pharaoh , even if there has been prophesized by anyone before him . Abraham was a prophet of God to Nimrod , but nobody prophesied his coming. Noah , Lot, and others are true prophets of God, but not predicted. The true test of a prophet is not limited to old prophecies , but includes the actual message brought by him, miracles and more.
 

Discussing prophecies is a delicate matter . Must sift through Bible versions and translations, recently discovered manuscripts and research on the Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic words and investigating them. The task becomes especially difficult when " before printing (15th century) , all copies of the Bible show textual variations " [“biblical literature.”  Encyclopædia Britannica from Encyclopædia Britannica Premium Service. (http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-73396)] This is not an easy subject for the Laity For this reason, the better .. evidence of ancient and modern in the region that recognizes prophecy experts .
We have records of monks and Jewish rabbis and the early Christians , who witnessed that Muhammad was the fulfillment of specific Bible prophecies . Some examples of these individuals are presented .
Muhammad
The Prophet expected
Jewish pre -Islam and Christians of Arabia were expecting a prophet. Before the advent of Muhammad , Arabia was home to Jews , Christians and pagan Arabs who , on occasion, went to war with each other. The Jews and the Christians say . " When the illiterate appeared to revive the religion of Prophet Abraham We will join their ranks and fierce war against them has come. " When Muhammad actually appeared , some of them believed in him, and some refused is why God has revealed. :
" And when there came to them a Book [ Quran ] from God confirming what was with them - although before they used to pray for victory against the infidels - but [ then ] when there came to them what they recognized , they disbelieved in it , . well the curse of God is on the disbelievers " (Quran 2:89 )
Muhammad
The first witness was Buhaira , the Christian monk, who recognized the Prophethood of Muhammad when he was still young and told his uncle :
" ...Good fortune lies before your nephew to take him home quickly ." [‘Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources’ by Martin Lings, p. 29. ‘Sirat Rasul Allah’ by Ibn Ishaq translated by A. Guillame, p. 79-81. ‘The Quran And The Gospels: A Comparative Study,’ p. 46 by Dr. Muhammad Abu Laylah of Azhar University]
Muhammad


The second witness was Waraqa bin Nawfal , a Christian scholar who died soon after a solitary meeting with Muhammad . Waraqah attested Muhammad was the prophet of his time and received revelation exactly like Moses and Jesus.[‘Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources’ by Martin Lings, p. 35] Muhammad
Jews of Medina eagerly awaiting the arrival of a prophet. The third and fourth witnessed his famous two Jewish rabbis , Abdullah bin Salam and Mukhayriq . [‘The Quran And The Gospels: A Comparative Study,’ p. 47 by Dr. Muhammad Abu Laylah of Azhar University]
The sixth and seventh witnesses were also Yemeni Jewish rabbis , Wahb ibn Ka'b al Munabbih and - Ahbar ( d. 656 AD). Ka'b found long passages of praise and description of the prophet foretold by Moses in the Bible. [‘The Quran And The Gospels: A Comparative Study,’ p. 47-48 by Dr. Muhammad Abu Laylah of Azhar University]

The Quran says:

" Is it not a sign to them that the Learned of the Children of Israel knew it ( as true )" ( Quran 26:197 ) Muhammad
