Bhavishya Puran,
Prati Sarg Parv III: 3, 3, Mantra 5
A malechha (belonging to a foreign country and speaking foreign language)
spiritual teacher will appear with his companions. His name will be Mahamad...
Sama Veda II: 6,
Mantra 8
"Ahmad acquired religious law (Shariah) from his Lord. This religious law
is full of wisdom. I receive light from him just as from the sun."
Prophet Muhammad's
other name was Ahmad (both are from root letters h, m and d), both words have
the meaning the "praised one" except the latter emphasizes a higher degree to
it. The Holy Qur'an states that Prophet 'Isa (Jesus, pbuh) mentioned the last
prophet's name as Ahmad.
Rig Veda V, 27, Mantra 1
The wagon-possessor, the truthful and truth-loving, extremely wise, powerful and
generous, Mamah[Mohammad] has favored me with his words. The son
of the All-powerful, possessing all good attributes, the mercy for the worlds
has become famous with ten thousand [companions].
Kuntap Sukt,
Atharva Veda, Mantra 3
He gave the Mamah Rishi a hundred gold coins, ten chaplets, three hundred
steeds and ten thousand cows.
It refers to one hundred early companions of
the Prophet, eighty of them migrated to Abyssinia; ten elect companions who were
given the good news of paradise by the Prophet; three hundred thirteen
companions of the battle of Badr; and ten thousand companions who accompanied
the Prophet in the triumphant entry of Makkah and cleansing of Ka'bah of Idols.
A cow or an ox as described in the Vedas represents both as a symbol of war and
peace. The companions of the Prophet had both these qualities. They were saintly
men, pious and compassionate like a cow, and they were fierce and strong in
establishing peace and justice.
Atharva Veda X,
2, Mantras 28, 31,33 28. Whether it is built high, its walls are in a straight line or not, but
God is seen in every corner of it. He who knows the House of God, knows it
because God is remembered there.
31. This abode of the angels has eight circuits and nine gates. It is
unconquerable, there is eternal life in it and it is resplendent with Divine
light.
33. Brahma
(Abraham) stayed in this abode which is illumined by heavenly light and covered
with Divine blessings. It is the place that gives (spiritual) life to the people
and is unconquerable.
These
Mantras refer to Kabaa (in Mecca) originally built by Abraham. Muslims perform
their pilgrimage there and perform their 5 daily prayers in the direction of
Kabaa.
Kuntap Sukt 4,
Atharva Veda Disseminate the truth, O ye who glorifies [Ahmad], disseminate the truth,
just as a bird sings on a ripe fruited tree. Thy lips and tongue move swiftly
like the sharp blade of a pair of shears.
It refers to the
Prophet Muhammad's condition when he received revelation through Archangel
Jibril (Gabriel).
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in Hindu Scriptures by Dr. Zakir Naik
I
Muhammad (pbuh) prophesised in Bhavishya Purana
According to Bhavishya Purana in the Prati Sarag Parv III Khand 3 Adhay 3
Shloka 5 to 8.
"A malecha (belonging to a foreign country and speaking a foreign
language) spiritual teacher will appear with his companions. His name will
be Mohammad. Raja (Bhoj) after giving this Maha Dev
Arab (of angelic disposition) a bath in the Panchgavya and
the Ganga water (i.e. purifying him of all sins) offered him the present
of his sincere devotion and showing him all reverence said, "I make
obeisance to thee. O ye! The pride of mankind, the dweller in Arabia, Ye
have collected a great force to kill the Devil and you yourself have been
protected from the malecha opponents."
The Prophecy clearly states:
The name of the Prophet
as Mohammad.
He will belong to
Arabia. The Sanskrit word Marusthal means a sandy track of land
or a desert.
Special mention is made
of the companions of the Prophet, i.e. the Sahabas. No other
Prophet had as many companions as Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
He is
referred as the pride of mankind (Parbatis nath). The Glorious
Qur’an reconfirms this
"And thou (standest) on an exalted standard of character"
[Al-Qur'an 68:4]|
"Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah, a beautiful pattern (of
conduct)".
[Al-Qur'an 33:21]
He will
kill the devil, i.e. abolish idol worship and all sorts of vices.
The
Prophet will be given protection against his enemy.
Some
people may argue that ‘Raja’ Bhoj mentioned in the
prophecy lived in the 11th century C.E. 500 years after the advent of
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and was the descendant in the 10th generation of
Raja Shalivahan. These people fail to realise that there was
not only one Raja of the name Bhoj. The Egyptian
Monarchs were called as Pharaoh and the Roman Kings were known as
Caesar, similarly the Indian Rajas were given the title of
Bhoj. There were several RajaBhoj who came
before the one in 11th Century C.E.
The
Prophet did not physically take a bath in the Panchgavya and the water
of Ganges. Since the water of Ganges is considered holy, taking bath in
the Ganges is an idiom, which means washing away sins or immunity from
all sorts of sins. Here the prophecy implies that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
was sinless, i.e. Maasoom.
According
to Bhavishya Purana in the Pratisarag Parv III Khand 3 Adhay 3 Shloka 10
to 27 Maharishi Vyas has prophesised:
"The Malecha have spoiled the well-known land of the Arabs. Arya
Dharma is not to be found in the country. Before also there
appeared a misguided fiend whom I had killed; he has now again appeared
being sent by a powerful enemy. To show these enemies the right path and
to give them guidance, the well-known Muhammad (pbuh), is busy in bringing
the Pishachas to the right path. O Raja, You need not go
to the land of the foolish Pishachas, you will be purified
through my kindness even where you are. At night, he of the angelic
disposition, the shrewd man, in the guise of Pishacha said to
RajaBhoj, "O Raja! Your Arya Dharma has
been made to prevail over all religions, but according to the commandments
of Ishwar Parmatma, I shall enforce the strong creed of the meat
eaters. My followers will be men circumcised, without a tail (on his
head), keeping beard, creating a revolution announcing the Aadhaan
(the Muslim call for prayer) and will be eating all lawful things. He will
eat all sorts of animals except swine. They will not seek purification
from the holy shrubs, but will be purified through warfare. On account of
their fighting the irreligious nations, they will be known as
Musalmaans. I shall be the originator of this religion of the
meat-eating nations."
The Prophecy states that:
The evil doers have
corrupted the Arab land.
Arya
Dharma is not found in that land.
The
Indian Raja need not go the Arab land since his purification
will take place in India after the musalmaan will arrive in
India.
The
coming Prophet will attest the truth of the Aryan faith, i.e. Monotheism
and will reform the misguided people.
The
Prophet’s followers will be circumcised. They will be without a tail on
the head and bear a beard and will create a great revolution.
They will
announce the Aadhaan, i.e. ‘the Muslim call for prayer’.
He will
only eat lawful things and animals but will not eat pork. The Qur’an
confirms this in no less than 4 different places:
In Surah Al-Baqarah chapter 2 verse 173
In Surah Al-Maidah chapter 5 verse 3
In Surah Al-Anam chapter 6 verse 145
In Surah Al-Nahl chapter 16 verse 115
"Forbidden to you for food are dead meat, blood, flesh of swine, and
that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah".
They will
not purify with grass like the Hindus but by means of sword they will
fight their irreligious people.
They will
be called musalmaan.
They will
be a meat-eating nation.
The eating of herbivorous animals is confirmed by the Qur’an in Surah
Maidah, chapter 5 verse 1 and in Surah Muminun chapter 23 verse 21
According
to Bhavishya Purana, Parv - III Khand 1 Adhay 3 Shloka 21-23:
"Corruption
and persecution are found in seven sacred cities of Kashi, etc. India is
inhabited by Rakshas, Shabor, Bhil and other
foolish people. In the land of Malechhas, the followers of the
Malechha dharma (Islam) are wise and brave people. All good
qualities are found in Musalmaans and all sorts of vices have
accumulated in the land of the Aryas. Islam will rule in India and its
islands. Having known these facts, O Muni, glorify the name of
thy lord".
The Qur’an
confirms this in Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 33 and in Surah Al Saff
chapter 61 verse 9:
"It is He
who hath sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, to
proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it)".
A similar
message is given in Surah Fatah chapter 48 verses 28 ending with, "and
enough is Allah as a witness".
II Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
Prophesised in Atharvaveda
In the 20th
book of Atharvaveda Hymn 127 Some Suktas (chapters) are known as
Kuntap Sukta. Kuntap means the consumer of misery and
troubles. Thus meaning the message of peace and safety and if translated
in Arabic means Islam.
Kuntap
also means hidden glands in the abdomen. These mantras are called
so probably because their true meaning was hidden and was to be revealed
in future. Its hidden meaning is also connected with the navel or the
middle point of this earth. Makkah is called the Ummul Qur’a the
mother of the towns or the naval of the earth. In many revealed books it
was the first house of Divine worship where God Almighty gave spiritual
nourishment to the world. The Qur’an says in Surah Ali-Imran chapter 3,
verse 96:
"The first
house (of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakkah (Makkah)
full of blessings and of guidance and for all kinds of beings". Thus
Kuntap stands for Makkah or Bakkah.
Several
people have translated these Kuntap Suktas like M. Bloomfield, Prof. Ralph
Griffith, Pandit Rajaram, Pandit Khem Karan, etc.
The main
points mentioned in the Kuntap Suktas i.e. in Atharvaveda book 20
Hymn 127 verses 1-13 are:
Mantra 1
He is Narashansah or the praised one (Muhammad). He is
Kaurama: the prince of peace or the emigrant, who is safe, even
amongst a host of 60,090 enemies.
Mantra 2
He is a camel-riding Rishi, whose chariot touches the heaven.
Mantra 3
He is Mamah Rishi who is given a hundred gold coins, ten
chaplets (necklaces), three hundred good steeds and ten thousand cows.
Mantra 4 Vachyesv rebh. ‘Oh! ye who glorifies’.
The
Sanskrit word Narashansah means ‘the praised one’, which is
the literal translation of the Arabic word Muhammad (pbuh).
The Sanskrit word Kaurama means ‘one who spreads and promotes
peace’. The holy Prophet was the ‘Prince of Peace’ and he preached
equality of human kind and universal brotherhood. Kaurama
also means an emigrant. The Prophet migrated from Makkah to Madinah
and was thus also an Emigrant.
He will
be protected from 60,090 enemies, which was the population of Makkah.
The Prophet would ride a camel. This clearly indicates that it cannot
be an Indian Rishi, since it is forbidden for a Brahman
to ride a camel according to the Sacred Books of the East, volume 25,
Laws of Manu pg. 472. According to Manu Smirti chapter 11
verse 202, "A Brahman is prohibited from riding a camel or an ass and
to bathe naked. He should purify himself by suppressing his breath".
This mantra gave the
Rishi's name as Mamah. No rishi in India or another
Prophet had this name Mamah which is derived from Mah
which means to esteem highly, or to revere, to exalt, etc. Some
Sanskrit books give the Prophet’s name as ‘Mohammad’, but this word
according to Sanskrit grammar can also be used in the bad sense. It is
incorrect to apply grammar to an Arabic word. Actually shas
the same meaning and somewhat similar pronunciation as the word
Muhammad (pbuh).
He is given 100 gold coins, which refers to the believers and the
earlier companions of the Prophet during his turbulent Makkan life.
Later on due to persecution they migrated from Makkah to Abysinia.
Later when Prophet migrated to Madinah all of them joined him in
Madinah.
The 10 chaplets or necklaces were the 10 best companions of the Holy
Prophet (pbuh) known as Ashra-Mubbashshira (10 bestowed with
good news). These were foretold in this world of their salvation in
the hereafter i.e. they were given the good news of entering paradise
by the Prophet’s own lips and after naming each one he said "in
Paradise". They were Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talha, Zubair, Abdur
Rahman Ibn Auf, Saad bin Abi Waqqas, Saad bin Zaid and Abu Ubaidah
(May Allah be well-pleased with all of them).
The Sanskrit word Go is derived from Gaw which means
‘to go to war’. A cow is also called Go and is a symbol of
war as well as peace. The 10,000 cows refer to the 10,000 companions
who accompanied the Prophet (pbuh) when he entered Makkah during
Fateh Makkah which was a unique victory in the history of mankind
in which there was no blood shed. The 10,000 companions were pious and
compassionate like cows and were at the same time strong and fierce
and are described in the Holy Quran in Surah Fatah:
"Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are
strong against unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other."
[Al-Qur'an 48:29]
This mantra calls the Prophet as Rebh
which means one who praises, which when translated into Arabic is
Ahmed, which is another name for the Holy Prophet (pbuh).
Battle of the Allies described in the Vedas.
It is mentioned in Atharvaveda Book XX Hymn 21 verse 6,
"Lord of the truthful! These liberators drink these feats of bravery and
the inspiring songs gladdened thee in the field of battle. When thou
renders vanquished without fight the ten thousand opponents of the praying
one, the adoring one."
This Prophecy of the Veda describes the
well-known battle of Ahzab or the battle of the Allies during
the time of Prophet Muhammed. The Prophet was victorious without an
actual conflict which is mentioned in the Qur’an in Surah Ahzab:
"When the believers saw the confederate forces they said, "This is what
Allah and His Messenger had promised us and Allah and His Messenger told
us what was true." And it only added to their faith and their zeal in
obedience."
[Al-Qur'an 33:22]
The Sanskrit word
karo in the Mantra means the ‘praying one’ which when
translated into Arabic means ‘Ahmed’, the second name of Prophet
Muhammed (pbuh).
The 10,000 opponents
mentioned in the Mantra were the enemies of the Prophet and the
Muslims were only 3000 in number.
The last words of the
Mantra aprati ni bashayah means the defeat was given to the
enemies without an actual fight.
The enemies’ defeat in the conquest of Makkah is mentioned in
Atharvaveda book 20 Hymn 21 verse no 9:
"You have O Indra, overthrown 20 kings and 60,099 men with an outstripping
Chariot wheel who came to fight the praised one or far famed (Muhammad)
orphan."
The population of Makkah at the time of
Prophet’s advent was nearly 60,000
There were several clans in Makkah each having its own chief.
Totally there were about 20 chiefs to rule the population of Makkah.
An Abandhu meaning a helpless man who was far-famed and
‘praised one’. Muhammad (pbuh) overcame his enemies with the help of
God.
III
Muhammad (pbuh)
prophesised in the Rigveda
A similar
prophecy is also found in Rigveda Book I, Hymn 53 verse 9:
The Sanskrit
word used is Sushrama, which means praiseworthy or well praised
which in Arabic means Muhammad (pbuh).
IV Muhummad (pbuh)
is also prophesised in the Samveda
Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) is also prophesised in the Samveda Book II Hymn 6 verse 8:
"Ahmed
acquired from his Lord the knowledge of eternal law. I received light from
him just as from the sun." The Prophecy confirms:
The name of the Prophet as
Ahmed since Ahmed is an Arabic name. Many translators misunderstood it to
be Ahm at hi and translated the mantra as "I alone have
acquired the real wisdom of my father".
Prophet was
given eternal law, i.e. the Shariah.
The
Rishi was enlightened by the Shariah of Prophet Muhammad.
The Qur’an says in Surah Saba chapter 34 verse 28
"We have not
sent thee but as a universal (Messenger) to men, giving them glad tidings
and warning them (against sin), but most men understand not."
[Al-Qur'an 34:28]
