A Christian says that Malachi 3:1 refers to Jesus where yahewah says that he will send his messenger who will prepare a way before me He argues that here messenger is John pbuh and before me is Jesus Christ pbuh Kindly refute this....

Answer:

As'salamu Alaikum brother Kamil,

Here is what the verse in question says:

Malachi 3:1 (KJV)
3 Behold, I will send my messenger (Jesus), and he shall prepare the way before me (GOD's Religion Islam): and the Lord, whom ye seek (Jesus), shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant (Muhammad), whom ye delight in: behold, he (Muhammad) shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

  
I personally do not care if this was about John the Baptist or not.  But really, how do we even know that John the Baptist even existed, or was a genuine Prophet?  The Baptist died doubting Jesus:

When we read Isaiah 41 and 42, and the Bible's Prophecies about the 10,000 Believers of GOD Almighty in both the OT and NT, we clearly see the Servant with the New Covenant will come from the desert of Arabia (desert of Kedar):

Isaiah 29:12 mentions the first Quran-Revelation upon Prophet Muhammad in Cave Hira by the name.  The Quran's first revelation upon Prophet Muhammad inside cave Hira.
  
  
Isaiah 29: Mentions Mecca's precise cave Hira (χιρα), Jireh, Quran & Muhammad.

I do not have any reason to disbelieve in Prophet Muhammad mentioned in the Bible.

Take care,
