The Lord came from Sinai, rose up unto us from Sa‘ir, and shined forth from Mount Paran.(321)

In this verse, with the phrase “the Lord came from Sinai,” the prophethood of Moses is mentioned; with the phrase “rose up unto us from Sa‘ir” (Sa‘ir being a mountain near Damascus), the prophethood of Jesus is indicated. And the phrase “He shined forth from Mount Paran (the Paran Mountains being the mountains of Hijaz), gives tidings of the prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH), all will agree. Moreover, confirming the sentence, “This is their similitude in the Torah,”(322) is the following verse of the Torah concerning the Companions of the Prophet who would shine forth from the Paran Mountains:

The flags of the blessed ones will be with him, and they will be on his right.(323)

In this verse, the Companions are described as “the blessed ones,” that is, His Companions are blessed, righteous men, the beloved ones of God.

In the Forty-Second Chapter of the Book of Isaiah, there are the following verses:
