MCQ Detailed View

The word “Farqaleet” (also written as Paraclete) is found in Christian scripture (the Injeel or Gospel) and is understood by many Islamic scholars and historians to be a reference to the final prophet, Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The term is derived from Greek “Parakletos,” which is interpreted to mean “Comforter,” “Helper,” or “Advocate.” It is mentioned particularly in the Gospel of John (New Testament), where Jesus (Isa A.S) speaks of a coming Comforter after him.

Islamic scholars have long held the belief that this prophecy refers not to the Holy Spirit, as interpreted by mainstream Christianity, but rather to Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The characteristics mentioned in the Injeel align with the role and attributes of the final Messenger—bringing guidance, spreading truth, and comforting people through the message of Islam.

Thus, “Farqaleet” is a term of great importance in interfaith discussions and proves the universal and foretold nature of the prophethood of Muhammad (ﷺ) in earlier revelations.
