No, the Prophet Muhammad is not mentioned by name in the Bible according to mainstream Christian and Jewish scholarship, though some Muslim traditions interpret certain descriptive passages, like Song of Solomon 5:16 ("altogether lovely," sounding like "Mahammad") or prophecies in Isaiah and Deuteronomy, as referring to him. Biblical scholars generally view these Hebrew words as descriptive terms for beauty or desirability, not proper names, contrasting with the Arabic meaning of Muhammad, "praiseworthy".
The apocryphal Gospel of Barnabas, which explicitly mentions Muhammad, is widely recognized by scholars as a fabrication from the Early Modern Age. Some Muslim theologians also claimed the Paraclete (Greek New Testament) as Muhammad, although scholars identify it with the Holy Spirit.
In contrast to the views of Muhammad in Islam, the Christian views on him stayed highly negative during the Middle Ages for over a millennium. At this time, Christendom largely viewed Islam as a Christian heresy and Muhammad as a false prophet.
MUHAMMAD (PBUH) PROPHESISED IN THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY:
1. Almighty God speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18: "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."
Prophet Muhammad said: “Both in this world and in the Hereafter, I am the nearest of all people to Jesus, the son of Mary. The prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one.” “Behold! The angels said: 'O Mary!
Muhammad had a generally positive view of Christians and viewed them as fellow receivers of Abrahamic revelation (People of the Book). However, he also criticised them for some of their beliefs. He sent various letters to Christian world leaders inviting them to "Submission to God" (Islam).
The Quran describes Job as a righteous servant of God, who was afflicted by suffering for a lengthy period of time.
There is an obvious reason for this: Islam did not appear until about 600 years after Jesus. Therefore, when you read the New Testament the subject of Islam and the person of Muhammad are never mentioned (though Jesus does warn generally about false prophets in Matthew 7:15-16 and 24:24-25).
In Christianity, the last prophet of the Old Covenant before the arrival of Jesus is John the Baptist (cf. Luke 16:16). The Eastern Orthodox Church holds that Malachi was the "Seal of Prophets" in the Old Testament.
This article is intended to supplement the following response by providing further details showing that the Servant spoken of in Isaiah 42 is not Muhammad. Rather, the Servant of Yahweh is the Messiah who comes to accomplish God's plan to establish salvation and justice throughout the entire world.
Apart from Islam, Muhammad has received praise in Sikhism as an inspirational figure, in the Druze faith as one of the seven main prophets, and in the Baháʼí Faith as a Manifestation of God.
The majority of Christians view Islam as a false religion because its adherents reject the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ.
"Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians—whoever believes in God and the Last Day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor shall they grieve" (2:62, 5:69, and many other verses).
According to Islamic theology, all Muslims must have faith in every prophet and messenger of God, which includes Moses and his brother Aaron. The life of Moses is generally seen as a spiritual parallel to the life of Muhammad, and Muslims consider many aspects of the two individuals' lives to be shared.
Another similarity between Christianity and Islam is that both religions are Abrahamic religions - meaning that they descended from Judaism and the worship of the God of Abraham. As well as this, both religions trace their origins to the two sons of Abraham.
The term Bible does not appear anywhere in the Quran. The term Old Testament and New Testament does not appear anywhere in the Quran. The Quran actually confirms the original revelation that was given to Prophet Moses called the Tawrah (Torah) and the Enjeel (the Gospel) that was revealed to Prophet Jesus.
Since the end of the first century, the beloved disciple has often (but not unanimously) been identified with John the Evangelist.
Four of the prophets are alive two of whom are in the heavens: Jesus and Edris, and two of them are in the land: Khidr and Elias, Ilyas (Elias). As for Khidr, he is in the sea but his companion is in the land.”[Tabatabai, Sayyid Muhammad Hussein, Al-Mizan fi Tafsir al-Qur'an, Vol. 13, p.

Why not, instead, go straight to the point: “Yâ' Allâh!” since He is the highest court of appeal and in ultimate control. In a case of emergency or of extreme emotion, “O my God!” may be used in the sense of appealing to Allah for a remedy to an unacceptable situation.
In Islam, the 🧿 (Nazar Amulet) symbol, known as the evil eye, is considered a prohibited superstition (Shirk) by most scholars, as it's an amulet believed to ward off harm, which contradicts the Islamic principle that only Allah can protect, making reliance on such charms a form of disbelief. While the evil eye itself (al-'ayn) is a recognized concept in Islamic belief, the use of the eye amulet (nazar boncuğu) is a cultural practice, not a religious one, and is discouraged in favor of Quranic verses like Surah Al-Falaq and An-Nas for protection.
Jesus speaks as the angel Gabriel had mentioned at the annunciation: Jesus proclaims he is a servant of God, has been given a book, is a prophet, is blessed wherever he will go, blesses the day he was born, the day he will die, and the day he is raised alive.
Because Muhammad was the chosen recipient and messenger of the word of God through the divine revelations, Muslims from all walks of life strive to follow his example. After the holy Qur'an, the sayings of the Prophet (hadith) and descriptions of his way of life (sunna) are the most important Muslim texts.
8:29), then it's worth it! Jonah first disobeyed the Lord's call and later obeyed only grudgingly. How then do we look at the results of his ministry? Jonah, the prophet who disobeyed, makes us marvel at God's ability to work despite our mistakes.
Prophet Ayyub was a figure who experienced such severe trials that he lost everything. However, despite the trials that came upon him, Prophet Ayyub used these severe trials as guidance to bring himself closer to Allah.
