The books of the Old Testament contain truth and falsehood, and we neither believe them nor disbelieve them except in what is mentioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah regarding their disbelief or belief. The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “If the People of the Book tell you something, do not believe them or disbelieve them, and say: We believe in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to you.” Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Ahmad. And until now, there are texts in the Bible that give good tidings of our Master Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and they have not changed.
Chapter 19 of the Book of Isaiah speaks in great detail about a great tribulation that will occur in Egypt, mentioning its stages, which begin with internal strife, a quasi-civil war, or strife among the people of Egypt, the loss of order, and the outbreak of chaos. Then it mentions the economic collapse and its consequences that will result from this chaos and strife. It then mentions how the prominent figures of the Egyptian tribes (the Egyptian media) will be misled at that time. After that, it mentions Egypt falling under a cruel ruler during this period, or as a result of it. This difficult phase, which is the great calamity for Egypt, and which we see as nothing but a terrible tribulation, will end after the Egyptians return to God Almighty (God does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves). God will provide them with a just ruler who will deliver them from their affliction. We believe that he will be a ruler according to the prophetic method, God willing (the Mahdi). After that, there will be some kind of unity between Egypt and Iraq, after which Palestine will be liberated, God willing, as mentioned at the end of the prophecy.
Here is chapter 19 of the Book of Isaiah
1 The burden concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence, and the heart of Egypt will melt within them.
2 And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, and they shall fight, every man against his brother, and every man against his neighbor, city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall be poured out within her, and her counsel shall be consumed: and they shall consult idols, and musicians, and spiritists, and sorcerers.
4 And I will put the Egyptians in the hand of a cruel master, and a mighty king will rule over them, says the Lord God of hosts.
5 And the waters of the sea shall dry up, and the river shall be dried up.
6 And the rivers shall stink, and the streams of Egypt shall dwindle and dry up; and the reeds and the rushes shall perish.
7 And the gardens on the Nile, on the bank of the Nile, and every farm on the Nile, shall dry up and be scattered and shall not be.
8 And the fishermen groan, and all who cast a line into the Nile mourn, and those who spread a net on the surface of the waters are sorrowful.
9 And those who work with combed linen and those who weave white cloth will be ashamed.
10 And its pillars shall be crushed, and all the workers shall be depressed in spirit.
11 The princes of Zoan are fools, and the wise counselors of Pharaoh are as wise as beasts. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of wise men, the son of ancient kings?”
12 Where are your wise men? Let them tell you what the Lord of hosts has planned for Egypt.
13 The princes of Zoan have become fools, the princes of Noph have been deceived; and he has led Egypt astray, the leaders of her tribes.
14 The Lord has mingled a perverse spirit in the midst of her; and they have made Egypt stagger in all its works, as a drunkard staggers in his vomit.
15 So Egypt will have no work that the head or the tail of the palm tree or the stalk can do.
16 On that day Egypt will be like women; it will tremble and quake at the shaking of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he will shake over it.
17 And the land of Judah will be a terror to Egypt; everyone who remembers it will be terrified because of the judgment of the Lord of hosts which he will execute against it.
18 On that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord of Hosts. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.
19 On that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border.
20 And it shall be a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt, for they shall cry out to the Lord because of their oppressors, and he shall send them a savior and a defender, and deliver them.
21 And the Lord shall be known in Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and they shall offer sacrifice and offering, and make a vow to the Lord, and perform it.
22 And the Lord will strike Egypt, striking and healing. Then they will return to the Lord, and he will hear them and heal them.
23 On that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrians will come to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
24 On that day Israel will be a third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the land, which the Lord of hosts will bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.
