We've already discussed this subject in another forum. http://www.islamicity.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169& ;PN=2
The Song of Solomon is not recognized as a divine work by my Church and its origins are questionable. I highly doubt a moral Man like Muhammed would be mentioned in such a book. Its probably mere coincidence and really is in my opinion disrespectful to the Prophet Muhammed. I can understand the interpretations of him as the Comforter foretold by Jesus in the New Testament. Or the Prophet like unto Moses promised in the Old Testament. But if you've ever read the Song of Solomon....this is not a place to find references to pious and morally upright Prophets.

Assalamu Alaykum The Song of Solomon, also known as Song of Songs or Shir Hashirim IS a part of the Bible and you can find it in ANY Bible in the Old Testament. Also, it is not talking about a woman in Chapter 5 of the book, and it's Chapter 5 that we are concerned with. |

Bismillahirrahmaanerraheem The song (at least chapter 5) is not about a woman, neither has it anything to do with Prophet Solomon (Sulayman) peace be upon him.

http://scriptures.lds.org/en/bd/s/94 Song of Solomon Sometimes called Canticles (as in Latin) or Song of Songs (as in Hebrew). Whether Solomon is actually the author is doubtful. The composition has many beautiful phrases and lyrical prose, often quoted in nonreligious literature. The JST manuscript contains the note that �the Song of Solomon is not inspired scripture.� Both Jews and Christians have at times been reluctant to accept it into the canon of scripture because of its romantic content, but have permitted it on the basis of its being an allegory of God�s love for Israel and/or of the Church.

This a very important thread, it took me a very long time to research this material (some of it I found on other websites while others I discovered for myself) so I hope more people ,especially non-Muslims, would read this.

Since I have heard many times that muslims believe the Bible to be corrupt, why would any muslim decide that the Song of Solomon is somehow "uncorrupt"? How can you decide what is, and what is not the truth? I have many answers from the Bible scholars regarding the Song of Solomon, but I think this would be better placed in Islam Interfaith Topics. The Song is not referring to Mohammed. Respectfully yours, Edited by Patty |

Agreed and that is not the place to find the prophet foretold. You guys at LDS are well-read. |
