pErIklYtOs translates into Ahmad in Arabic (Aramaic, Hebrew, etc.), but
pArAklEtOs doesn't. This has ramifications for whether or not Jesus predicted
Muhammad ass the various Muslim authors below claim. P-R-K-L-T-S is the
shared consonants in them. Greek as a language has letters for vowels,
because it is an alphabet based rather than abjad based language.
Many Muslim writers have argued that “another Paraclete” (John 14:16)—the first
being Jesus—refers to Muhammad. The earliest scholar is probably Ibn Ishaq
(died 767), who Islamic tradition states was the grandson of a Christian.[16]
Others who interpreted the paraclete as a reference to Muhammad include Ibn
Taymiyyah, Ibn Kathir, Al-Qurtubi, Rahmatullah Kairanawi (1818-1891), and
contemporary Muslim scholars such as Martin Lings.[17][18] A few Muslim
commentators, such as David Benjamin Keldani (1928), have argued that the
original Greek word used was periklytos, meaning famed, illustrious, or
praiseworthy, rendered in Arabic as Ahmad, and that this was substituted by
Christians with parakletos.[19][20]

Many Muslim writers, including Ibn Hazm, al-Taban,al-Qurtubi, and Ibn
Taymiyya, have identified the Paraclete with Muhammad. Probably the
first to do so was the his biographer Ibn Ishaq in the mid eighth
century.
