Some Muslim Scholars claim that Sela Was prophecied in Bible in Isaiah 42
11 Let the wilderness and its towns raise their voices;
let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice.
Let the people of Sela sing for joy;
let them shout from the mountaintops.
12Let them give glory to the Lord
and proclaim his praise in the islands.
13The Lord will march out like a champion,
like a warrior he will stir up his zeal;
with a shout he will raise the battle cry
and will triumph over his enemies.
Muslims say that Jews were living in Medina near Sela Mountain because they read this prophecy and they knew that a prophet is comming that’s why when ever they fought with Banu kurayza they use to say our time is near prophet is comming he will fought with us against you
But Jews and Christians Claim that the word is Adonai if they assume that this is prophecy of Muhammad then this will make him God in reply Muslim Scholars say that Jews edited the word to Adonai after disbelieving in Muhammad Because they were Jealous according to Muslims Because they thought That the last Prophet will also come from Israelites but because Muhammad was ishmaelite so they that’s why Edited that word in Adonai Later.
