wilderness of paran and last prophet

Quote:

And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Jehovah: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.

And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.

And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

And the children of Israel set forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran

And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
These are the words which Moses spake unto all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab.

And he said, Jehovah came from Sinai, And rose from Seir unto them; He shined forth from mount Paran, And he came from the ten thousands of holy ones: At his right hand was a fiery law for them.

And Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

God came from Teman, And the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, And the earth was full of his praise

what is this Paran and what do you think about this comment?

Quote:

The Lord came from Sinai and dawned over them from Sair; He shone forth from Mount Paran(Deuteronomy, 33.2)

This verse refers to the Prophethood of Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, upon all of them be peace. Sinai is the place where the Prophet Moses spoke to God and received the Torah. Sair, a place in Palestine, is where the Prophet Jesus received Divine Revelation. Paran is where God manifested Himself to mankind for the last time through His Revelation to our Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings.

Paran is a mountain range in Makka. It is mentioned in the Torah (Genesis, 21:19–21) as the area in the desert where Hagar was left by her husband Abraham, upon him be peace, to live with her son, Ishmael. The well of Zamzam appeared in it. As it is known and stated explicitly in the Qur’an (Ibrahim, 14.35–7), Abraham left Hagar and Ishmael in the valley of Makka, which was then an uninhabited place between the mountain ranges of Paran.

It is because of the explicit predictions of the Torah that its followers were expecting the Last Prophet and knew that he would appear in Makka.

Well, if you look the web, you'll find a number of references....This from Wiki

Quote:

The Desert of Paran or Wilderness of Paran (Hebrew מדבר פראן Midbar Par'an), is quite likely the place where the Israelites spent part of their 40 years of wandering. King David spent some time in the wilderness of Paran after Samuel died (I Samuel, 25:1). It is also the place where Abraham's wife Hagar and his first son Ishmael were taken (Genesis 21) and it features in the opening lines of the Book of Deuteronomy.

Its modern-day name is Badiet et-Tih (according to Hertz), meaning "the desert of the wanderings". The Desert of Paran is situated in the northeastern part of the Sinai peninsula. The region is characterized by very little rainfall — less than 10 inches per year. Paran is often spelled "Pharan".

As to the comment, I really don't understand exactly what you'd like comments on. From the short quote, I don't see the relevance to the prophets. The only thought that really comes to mind is that all three prophets had their revelations in a desert, a place where heat and dehydration are known to cause hallucinations. (sorry, that's my cynical side talking.)

but comment says Hagar and his son Ishmael were taken to Macca (paran1)
not to the northeastern part of Sinai peninsula.(paran2)

do we call both of these places paran ?
