8MUHAMMADIM: This name written in a plural of respect, accordance with the rules of Hebrew grammar, is found in "The Song of Solomon" in the "Book of Proverbs" in The Bible. It is linked to other verses in the same "Song of Solomon" and refers to God Almighty's (Allah's) last messenger and prophet: Muhammad of Arabia (May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). There are other ample references about Prophet Muhammad (May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in Deuteronomy, especially in the verses where Prophet Moses (Moosa in Arabic, Persian, Urdu and Hindi) prays to God Almighty for a prophet and Allah (God Almighty) promises him (Moses) that He would indeed raise up among the brethren of the Israelites (the Children of Prophet Abraham's other son the Prophet Ismail (Peace be upon all of them); a prophet and messenger "like unto him", meaning like unto Moses. And the unbiased and impartial historians of religion agree that all these verses in The Bible refer only to the last and final messenger and prophet of Allah: Prophet/Messenger Muhammad (May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), the son of Abdullah.
Furthermore, the reader would do well to note that in most of the world's languages there is a plural of numbers and a plural of respect, for instance God Almighty also refers to Himself as "WE" in all the revealed scriptures whenever this "WE" is essential and uses "I" when He refers to Himself as the One true God, Allah. Also note that in Hebrew "ELOHIM" is a plural of respect used for Allah (God Almighty).
In this poem I have not been biased or partial towards any person -- man, woman or child -- in particular. I have only expressed myself in the way of a poet, while trying to point out the fallacies and errors of worshiping anything or anyone except the Creator and Lord of all worlds: Allah/God/Father of all creation/Ishwar/Rabb/Bhagwan/Elohim etc etc etc.
