Deuteronomy 18:18, 19 - I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him.
The prophet spoken of in Deuteronomy is Jesus Christ. The apostle Peter points out the prophecy fulfilled:
Acts 3:19-24 - "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.
For Moses truly said to the fathers, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.' Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days."

In Biblical terms a prophet isn't someone who foretells the future, although that can happen. A Biblical prophet is one who speaks for God, or through whom God speaks. Moses' story can be found in the first 5 books of the Bible. When he speaks what God has told him, those are "his prophecies."* Prophecies in Exodus * Prophecy in Numbers * Prophecies in DeuteronomyPerhaps the best well known predictive prophecy is when God through Moses predicted Jesus coming in Deuteronomy 18 v 17-18And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet, from among their brethren,like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

Yes, in Christianity, Jesus is considered to be a prophet. The following verse is a reference to Jesus being a prophet. "For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you." - Acts 3:22
only the prophet and Allah can answer it
Jesus
In the Qu'ran it states Muhammad (صلى لله عليه وسلم) was prophesized in other scriptures. This fact is backed by the fact that many of the early Muslims were learned Christians and Jews, who were expecting a Prophet in Arabia. When we analyze the scripture we find in the Bible, in Deuteronomy 18:18 God tells Moses (عليه السلام) "I will raise up for them (the Jews) a prophet like you from among their brethren." Christians feel this prophesy refers to Jesus (عليه السلام). However, it is clear that this Prophet will be like Moses (عليه السلام) and from the brethren of the Jews. The Jews are descended from Isaac (عليه السلام), and the Arabs from Ishmael (عليه السلام). Ishmael (عليه السلام) and Isaac (عليه السلام) were brothers, the sons of Abraham (عليه السلام). Thus the brethren of the Jews are the Arabs (Descendants of Ishmael). Moses (عليه السلام) and Muhammad (صلى لله عليه وسلم) were far more similar to one another than Jesus (عليه السلام). Both had natural births, married, had children, were initially rejected by their people, finally accepted and led their people (both religiously and secularly), had to flee their homeland, overcame their enemies, brought forth new laws (established God's law) and had natural deaths. It is important to note that the Jews were waiting for this prophet at the time of Jesus (عليه السلام), they felt this prophet, the one like Moses (عليه السلام) was different from the Christ. In John 1:19-25, they asked John the Baptist whether he was Elijah, or the Christ, or "the Prophet". Thus showing that they were waiting for two great Prophets, the Christ and "the Prophet". Muslims believe Jesus (عليه السلام) was the Christ and Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was "The Prophet".
Those who know bible principles are responsible to God for their disobedience to them. It could be argued that the clergy would be even more responsible since they are looked at as representing him which would be very true but all are responsible if they know right and wrong.
MUHAMMAD IN JEWISH SCRIPTURES (THE OLD TESTAMENT):1) Muhammad (pbuh) prophesised in the book of Deuteronomy:a) God Almighty 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 will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."b) Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is like Moses (pbuh):i) Both had a father and a mother.ii) Both were married and had children.iii) Both were accepted as Prophets by their people in their lifetime.iv) Both besides being Prophets were also kings i.e. they could inflict capital punishment.v) Both brought new laws and new regulations for their people.vi) Both died a natural death.c) Muhammad (pbuh) is from among the brethren of Moses (pbuh). Arabs are brethren of Jews. Abraham (pbuh) had two sons:Ishmail and Isaac. The Arabs are the descendants of Ishmail (pbuh) and the Jews are the descendants of Isaac (pbuh).d) Words in the mouth:Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was unlettered and whatever revelations he received from God Almighty he repeated it verbatim.Deuteronomy (18:18):"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."2) Muhammad (pbuh) is prophesised in the book of Isaiah:It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12:"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned saying, 'Read this, I pray thee'; and he saith, 'I am not learned'."When Archangel Gabriel commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by saying 'Iqra', he replied "I am not learned".3) Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned by name in the Song of Solomonchapter 5 verse 16:"Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehrace Bayna Jerusalem.""His mouth is most sweet: ye, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughter of Jerusalem."All the prophecies mentioned in the Old Testament regarding Muhammad (pbuh) besides applying to the Jews also hold good for the Christians (H Q. 61:6)
Moses did not write prophetically about Jesus. However, Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) says that there is a trick that seems to come naturally when studying the Bible. One can ask any question of the Bible and get some kind of answer. If the first answer does not appear to be helpful, one can look for another answer to the same question, until the right answer appears. So, some say that Deuteronomy 18:15-18 is a prophecy of Jesus:The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.This passage does not mention Jesus and does not say anything that identifies the prophet as Jesus, nor does it describe him as the Son of God or anything more than a prophet. It could refer to any of the major prophets to come, or any one of the many other Jews who claimed to be the Messiah. By itself itself it is meaningless. However, the author of Matthew's Gospel did draw some parallels between Jesus and Moses. He said that the (step) grandfather of Jesus was called Jacob, parallelling Jacob in the old Testament. In both cases, the king ordered the slaughter of all the infants, and in both cases there was a flight to Egypt. The problem with this is that the author of Luke's Gospel knew nothing of this. He said that the (step) grandfather of Jesus was called Heli; the king did not order the slaughter of the infants and there was no flight to Egypt - the family returned peacefully to Galilee. So, did the author of Matthew know about Deuteronomy 18:15-18 and seek to identify with it?More evidence that Deuteronomy 18:15-18 could not have been about Jesus is found in the verses that follow it. Here (Deuteronomy 18:19-22), the Deuteronomist seems to be explaining how to know a real prophet from a pretender, rather than actually prophesying Jesus:And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.So, Deuteronomy 18:15-22, taken as a whole, was really a promise that there would be prophets to come, and an explanation of how to know if someone was a real prophet. Moses did not write prophetically about Jesus.
