Prophet Muhammed in Hindu Scriptures
By Prof. Pundit Vaid Parkash, Translated by Mir Abdul Majeed
The Last Kalki Autar (Messenger) that the Veda has foretold and who is waited on by Hindus is the Prophet Muhammed ibn Abdullah (saw)
A recently published book in Hindi has raised a lot of hue and cry all over India. In the event of the author being Muslim, he would have been jailed AND a strict ban would have certainly been imposed on the printing and the publishing of the book.The author of this important research work "Kalki Autar" i.e. "Guide and Prophet of whole universe" comes of a Bengali race and holds an important portfolio at Ilahabad University. Pundit Vaid Parkash is a Brahman Hindu and a well known Sanskrit scholar and research workder.
Pundit Vaid Parkash, after a great deal of toil and hard-work, presented the work to as many as eight great Pundits who are themselves very well known in the field of research in India, and are amongst the learned religious leaders. Their Pundits, after thorough study of the book, have acknowledged this to be true and authentic research work.
Important religious books of India mention the guide and prophet by the specific name of "Kalki Autar" it denotes the great man Muhammed (saw) who was born in Makkah. Hence, all Hindus where-ever they may be, should wait no longer for any other 'kalik autar' but to embrace Islam and follow in the footsteps of the last Messenger of Allah (swt) who was sent in the world about fourteen hundred years ago with a mission from Him and after accomplishing it has long ago departed this world. As an argument to prove the authenticity of his research, Pundit Vaid Parkash quotes from the Veda, a sacred book among Hindus
-
Veda mentions that 'kalki autar' will be the last Messenger/Prophet of Bhagwan (Allah) to guide the whole world. Afer quoting this reference the Pundit Parkash says that this comes true only in the case of Muhammed (saw).
-
According to a prophecy of Hinduism, 'kalki autar' will be born in an island and that is the Arab territory which is known as 'jazeeratul Arab'.
-
In the 'sacred' book of Hindus the father's name of 'kalki autar' is mentioned as 'Vishnu Bhagat' and his mother's name as 'somanib'. In sanskrit, 'vishnu' stands for Allah (swt) and the literal meaning of 'bhagat' is slave.
'Vishnu Bhagat' therefore, in the Arabic language will mean Allah's slave (Abdullah). 'Somanib' in Sanskrit means peace and tranquilty which in arabic is denoted by the word 'Amina'. Whereas the last Messenger Muhammed's (saw) father and mother's names were Abdullah and Amina respectively.
-
In the big books of Hindus, it is mentioned that 'kalki autar' will live on olive and dates and he will be true to his words and honest. In this regard Pundit Parkash writes, "This is true and established only in the case of Muhammed (saw)".
-
Veda mentions that 'kalki autar' will be born in the respected and noble dynasty of his land. And this is also true as regards Muhammed (saw) as he was born in the respected tribe of Quraish who enjoyed great respect and high place in Makkah.
-
'Kalki Autar' will be taught in the cave by Bhagwan through his own messenger. And it is very true in this matter. Muhammed (saw) was the only one person in Makkah who has taught by Allah's Messenger Gabriel in the cave of Hira.
-
It is written in the books which Hindus believe that Bhagwan will provide 'Kalki autar' with the fastest of a horse and with the help of which he will ride around the world and the seven skies/heavens. The riding on 'Buraq' and 'Meraj' by the Prophet Muhammed (saw) proves what?
-
It is also written in the Hindus' books that 'kalki autar' will be strengthened and heavily helped by Bhagwan. And we know this fact that Muhammed (saw) was aided and reinforced by Allah (swt) through His angels in the battle of Badr.
-
Hindus' books also mention that 'kalki autar' will be an expert in horse riding, arrow shooting, and swordsmanship. What Pundit Vaid Parkash comments in this regard is very important and worth attention and consideration. He writes that the age of horses, swords, and spears is long ago gone and now is the age of modern weapons like tanks, missiles, and guns, and therefore it will be unwise to wait for 'kalki autar' bearing sword and arrows or spears. In reality, the mention in our books of 'kalki autar' is clearly indicative of Muhammed (saw) who was given the heavenly book known as Al-Qur'an.

hinduism is an interesting subject. reading about it once confirmed my faith in islam as at it's root, you notice some common themes with islam. there has been a lot added to it over time though, more so than any other religion perhaps which might make it difficult for some people to recognise the beliefs we share within it. I did read once also that perhaps some of these prophecies that you mentioned were added or adjusted after mohammed had become known.

Hmm, I've heard this before, about the possibility of Hindu scriptures foretelling the prophecy of Prophet Muhammad.
Whether it's true or not, what would it mean to us? Would it matter? Isn't Hinduism a pagan religion, and therefore considered false according to the Quran?
And who is more wicked than one who invents lies about God, or denies His revelations! The wicked will never succeed.
And the Day We gather them all, then We say to those who set up partners ?Where are your partners whom you used to claim??
Then, their only excuse was to say ?By God, our Lord, we did not set up partners!?
See how they lied to themselves; and that which they invented deserted them. (621 - 624) -

The fact that it's interesting and draws links to prophet Muhammad has some meaning to us.
In philosophy one of the criticisms for the existence of God was that Whether God exists or not, it means nothing to us hence reflecting on God is pointless.
1 Counter argument for this i think is that reflecting on this very INTERESTING subject (in this case God) could be very benefitting or useful in the future with the outcome of the reflection.

Indeed it's interesting, and I, myself, have a deep interest in all religions and philosophies. Still, I question whether this supposed link to Prophet Muhammad really has any meaning to us because of the Quran's reference to paganism. The scriptures itself are in question because of their uncertain validity.
In philosophy one of the criticisms for the existence of God was that Whether God exists or not, it means nothing to us hence reflecting on God is pointless.
Could you provide a specific reference which uses that criticism? Another example in philosophy is Pascal's Wager which leans more to the opposite of that criticism.
The example you used is not the same as what I said about the Hindu scriptures, btw. I was merely questioning it's meaning and importance, and provided my reason. It's my fault for not being more clear, so I apologize for that. When I said "whether it's true or not", it was in reference to the scripture, and not the prophecy itself. I question the scripture, not the prophecy. As posted by dc2, it's uncertain whether these scriptures are considered valid because of the possibility that they may have been altered after the time of Prophet Muhammad. I already reject the prophecy because I don't believe in Hinduism. I hope that makes sense...
1 Counter argument for this i think is that reflecting on this very INTERESTING subject (in this case God) could be very benefitting or useful in the future with the outcome of the reflection.
I don't disagree with reflecting, and the results may vary. It could end up meaning nothing or as you said, it could be benefiting or useful. The question is, how can it be benefiting or useful and to whom? What if we give these scriptures meaning and value, then what? Maybe it would encourage Hindus to accept Islam or maybe would it just lead to a validation of this pagan religion and therefore contradict with the Quran? I'm just wondering hypothetically.

that is very interesting, how old is there religion?
Hinduism is the oldest known spiritual tradition in the world and there is evidence that it flourished long before recorded history in ancient India.
The ancient Vedic civilization practiced Hinduism in the Indus Valley over 6,000 years ago and it was already then an old established tradition!!!
There is plenty of Evidence that its origin goes back into pre-historic times!

Hey afridi,
you should look at the actual translation;
The translation of Verses 5-27 (Sanskrit text of the Puranas, Prati Sarg Parv III 3, 3) is presented below from the work of Dr. Vidyarthi.
? The Malechhas have spoiled the well-known land of the Arabs. Arya Dharma is not to be found in that 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 Mahamad (Mohammad), who has been given by me the epithet of Brahma 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 a Pishacha said to Raja Bhoj, "O Raja! Your Arya Dharma has been made to prevail over all religions, but according to the commandments of ?Ashwar Parmatma (God, Supreme Spirit.
I shall enforce the strong creed of the meat-eaters. My follower will be a man circumcised, without a tail (on his head), keeping beard, creating a revolution, announcing 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. Because of their fighting the irreligious nations, they will be known as Musalmans (Muslims). I shall be the originator of this religion of the meat-eating nation."
and not a translation that has been played with by Muslims!
Now where is the prophesy you was talking about?

Wait a minute, the tradition of what we know as "hinduism" only goes back to 400-300bc. The veda's are older than that and not refered to as "hinduism", but as vedic periods and other.

Salaams All,
Putting the quran to one side.
Is there anybody here who doesn't believe that present day Islam is the invention of the Hindu masters?
APRECIATE any counter thoughts.
peace
