PROPHET MOHAMMED (PBUH) IN HINDUISM

Pundit Vedaprakash Upadhyay, a Hindu professor, in his stunning book Kalki Avatar claims that the description of Kalki Avatar found in the holy books of the Hindu religion matches the personality of Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). According to Hindu belief- Kalki would be the 24th incarnation of Vishnu Bhagwan.

Recently in India, this fact-revealing book has been published. The hook has been the topic of discussion and gossip all over.

The author of this book Pundit Vedaprakash Upadhyay, is a learned and a famous Hindu professor. Pundit Vedaprakash Upadhyay is a Hindu Brahmin of Bengali origin. He is a research scholar at Allahabad University.

After years of research of Vedas, Purnas and Upnishads he published this book, and no less than eight pundits have endorsed and certified his points of arguments as authentic. According to Hindu belief, the Hindu world awaits “the guide and leader”, named Kalki Avatar. However, the description as given in the holy scriptures of the Hindus points only to the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) of Arabia. Therfore, the Hindus on the whole world should not wait any longer for the arrival of Kalki Avatar but should readily accept Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) as Kalki Avatar.

What author says is that the Hindus, who are still awaiting the arrival of Kalki Avatar, are simply subjecting themselves to never ending wait. Because such a great messenger has already arrived and departed from this world fourteen centuries ago. The author produces the following sound evidences from the Vedas and other holy hooks of Hindu religion in support of his claim.

I.	In Hindu religious books (Hindu scriptures), it is stated that Kalki Avatar would be the last messenger of God in this world. He would come as a guide of the whole world and for all human beings. (Rahma-tul-lil-Aalameen).

2.	According to a Hindu religion prediction of the birth of Kalki Avatar would take place in a desert place which is an Arab region.

3.	Indication about Kajki Avatar given in Hindu Religious book is that he would be born on the 12th of a month. Incidentally Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was also born on the 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal (Hijra Calendar).

4.	In the books of Hindus, the names of the father and the mother of Kalki Avatar are given as VISHNU-BHAGAT and SUMAAN1 respectively. If we examine the meaning of these names we shall come to some interesting conclusion.

(a)	VISHNU (meaning God) and BHAGAT (meaning Slave). Slave of God. ABDULLAH (in Arabic) is the name of Prophet’s (PBUH) father. It means the same —The slave of Allah.
	
(b)	SUMAANI (Meaning peace or calmness). Aminah (in Arabic) means peace). Aminah is the name of Prophet’s (PBUH) Mother.

5.	It is stated in Vedas (holy book of Hindu Religion) that the birth of Kalki Avatar would take place in an honorable clan. This perfectly fits the Quraish tribe in which Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) was born.

6.	In the religious books of Hindus, it is mentioned that the staple food of Kalki Avatar would be dates and olives and he would be the most honest and truthful person in the region. Without doubt the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) is acclaimed to possess these qualities.

7.	God would teach Kalki Avatar through His messenger (angel) m a cave. Allah taught Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) through His messenger Jibraeel (Gabriel) in a cave known as Ghaar-e-Hira.

8.	God would provide Kalki Avatar with a very speedy horse to ride and travel through the seven skies. It is an indication of burraq (horse) and Meraaj- (the night when Prophet (PBUH) traveled through the seven skies.

9.	God would provide Kalki Avatar with divine help. This was proved in the battles of Badar and Uhad.

10.	Hindu religious books say that Kalki Avatar would be an excellent horse rider and a swordsman. The author here draws the attention of Hindus that the real days of horses and swords have gone some fourteen hundred years ago. (Present times are missiles and rockets).

11.	Sweet smell would come out from the body of Kalki Avatar. Incidentally sweet fragrance always radiated out from the body of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

The author has given enough evidence and arguments in favour of his claim that Kalki Avatar is in fact Prophet Mohammed (PBUH). So it would be wrong on the part of Hindus to still expect Kalki Avatar to come.

Torah at Deuteronomy 18:15 and Bible at John at 14:16, 15:26 and 16:7 also forecast the coming of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Buddhist and Parsi religious books also mention about his arrival.

Conclusion:

This claim is good enough for Hindus to revert to Islam and follow Kalki’s teachings all of which are in Qur’aan. —
