Prophet Muhammad, the "Paraclete"

[anthea26]

Muslims claim that their 'prophet' is the paraclete. Now, when we read the Gospel of John it is clear that he was not speaking of a prophet who would come after him. Jesus came and did what he did - job done!

According to Muslim 'scholars', parakletos was originally perikytos, meaning 'the praised one', which is the meaning of Ahmad - a variant of Muhammad. They claim that Christians "changed and corrupted the gospels" and the person who had the original version was a monk named Bahira who also 'foretold' Muhammad's prophethood according to Islamic tradition.

Now I am interested to find out what Paraclete / paracytia really means in Aramaic. I read on this site that it means the 'ending the curse' according to our friend, Mr. Younan.

Also, what would be the Aramaic equivalent of Ahmad / Periklytos? (Please provide transliteration and the word in Aramaic/Syriac script if possible.)

Thanks!!

Peace.
