Short Description
Mantra, Bhavishya Purana, Ram’s Shart Mans made by Ram and Mantra from the Atharvaveda mention prophecies about our prophet Muhammad (PBUH). What are they?
According to the previously mentioned Mantra from the Atharvaveda (sec. 20, chap. 21: 6, 7 & 9), “O Lord of the truthful, these, our libations strength-inspiring, Soma draughts, gladdened You with their heroism and chants in the fight with Vrtra, Hero Lord, at the time You, being resistless in Your might, slew for Your servant Ahmad ten-thousand Vrtras with no fight. You go on from fight to fight intrepidly, destroying castle after castle here with strength. You, Indra, with Your friend who makes the foe bow down, slew from far away the guileful Namuci.”
These Mantras almost describe the battle of al-Ahzâb when the Lord of the truthful was gladdened by the brave fighters who chanted in the war and defeated as many as ten-thousand warriors without a fight.
All these apply to the battle: Ahmad, the Messenger who led the battle, the heroes who chanted songs and the enemies whose number was ten-thousand, as agreed upon by the books of Sîrah. After the war in which the enemies were defeated without a fight, there was another war in which “Castle after castle, by force” was conquered; and this is true of the battle of Banu Quraythah. In this battle, for further confirmation, the enemies were guileful and breached their treaty, and so did Banu Quraythah. “Namuci” here means the niggardly withholder who deserves punishment.
Allâh here is called “Indra”, one of the Divine attributes indicating power, irresistibility, anger and vengeance. He always uses tempest, winds and thunderclaps (against His enemies) and it was with the help of these that the Confederates were defeated. The Hindus give this name “Indra” to the Lord of power, anger, tempests, winds and thunderclaps.
According to Bhavishya Purana, Mantra 5, “Behold! A non-Aryan heavenly tutor named Mahamada (i.e. Muhammad) came with his companions.”
In the next Mantra, “The one whom I gave the title Brahman and recognized for “Mahamada” (i.e. Muhammad) is engaged in reforming and guiding these disbelieving enemies.”
The following verses are mentioned in Ram’s Shart Mans made by Ram, one of the Hindu holy men, who lived a long time before the birth of the Christ [peace be upon him]:
“He will be born in the seventh century and rise amidst the darkness along with the light of his four suns.
He will clarify his religion to anyone with wisdom and kindness and give glad tidings (of good) and warn (of evil) according to each state.
He will have four holy successors and, with the help of their support, the followers of the believers will increase much.
From the time his religion and speech emerge, there will be no salvation for anyone without Muhammad.
Mankind, animals and even insects come near to Allâh in the name of this Messenger, the master of the world.
No one like or equal to him will ever be born.”
The following three verses are added in another version of the book:
“The message will be complete within ten-thousand years, after which none will obtain it.
A brilliant star will shine in the Arab territories and this land will have a position so high that, because of which, it will be envied by others.
Many supernatural events and miracles will appear at his hand and he will be called the ally of Allâh.”
According to Sama Veda [2:6:8][1], “Ahmad received from his Lord law filled with wisdom.””
According to Yajur Veda [3:1:18], “Ahmad will be great, become the source of all sciences and wisdom and will remove darkness like the rising sun.”
According to Kotyakamahatmaya [2:76], “When it is time for the truth to overflow into mankind, by rise of social goodness in the endless life, the darkness will be removed through Muhammad and the light of understanding and wisdom will shine.”
According to “Adhruhidum”, a holy book in the sight of Hindus, “O people! Hear and understand! The one praised more and more (i.e. Muhammad) will be sent from among the people and his greatness will be praised in Paradise, which he will subject to his will: he is Mahamada.”[2]
According to the Bhavishya Purana, “At that time, a foreigner will be sent along with his companions, carrying the name of Mahamada and the title “mister of the world”[3] and the king will purify him with the five purgatories”[4] (i.e. the five prayers with which Allâh erases sins).
The Companions of the Prophet [peace be upon him] have a share of mention in the same Bhavishya Purana, which describes them as “those who get circumcised, have no shikha but with a beard, loudly call the people to prayer, eat most animals save the swine and perform purificatory acts not with the pestle as you purify things with kusha because it is the martyrs who get purified (by means of blood). Therefore, they will be known as Mûsalman (i.e. Muslims) because they will fight those who confuse the truth with falsehood. Their religion will come from Me and I am the Creator.”[5]
One should not be astonished by the fact that the Hindu Scriptures mention the attributes of the Messenger of Allâh [peace be upon him] because it is absurd to think that all the Divine messages were revealed only in the Middle East and the other regions of the world left forgotten without revelation or Divine messages: Allâh forbid, since this disagrees with His mercy and justice. The Noble Qur’an tells us that there is no people without a warner or a bearer of glad tidings as Allâh says (what means): {And there was no nation but that there had passed within it a warner.} [Fâtir 24].
We could rely upon these Hindu Mantras in light of what is mentioned by their scholars concerning the glad tidings of the Prophethood of Muhammad [peace be upon him][6], keeping in mind the magnitude of omissions, additions, distortions and perversions to which these books were exposed. But what remains therein of the clear and, sometimes, detailed truth – as seems from what we have presented – proves that in the ancient Hindu books there are glad tidings, even more obvious and accurate, of the Prophet (Muhammad) [peace be upon him]. This is an evident witness to the Prophethood of Muhammad [peace be upon him].
