| 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 protected against
his enemies. |
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 Raj Bhoj 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 Raja Bhoj, "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:
“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).
(Al Qur’an 9:33 and 61:9)
and a similar verse ends with:
‘And enough
is Allah for a witness”.
(Al Qur’an 48:28) |

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’.
| (i) |
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.
|
| (ii) |
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". |
| (iii) |
(a) 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).
(b) 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.
(c) 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).
(d) 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] |
| (iv) |
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."
|
TThis 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. |

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). |
|
|
|
|
top
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] |
