"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:
(i) The name of the Prophet as Mohammad.
(ii) He will belong to Arabia. The Sanskrit word Marusthal means a sandy track of land or a desert.
(iii) 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).
(iv) 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]
(v) He will kill the devil, i.e. abolish idol worship and all sorts of vices.
(vi) 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 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.
2. 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:
(i) The evil doers have corrupted the Arab land.
(ii) Arya Dharma is not found in that land.
(iii)
The Indian Raja need not go the Arab land since his purification will
take place in India after the musalmaan will arrive in India.
(iv) The coming Prophet will attest the truth of the Aryan faith, i.e. Monotheism and will reform the misguided people.
(v) 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.
(vi) They will announce the Aadhaan, i.e. 'the Muslim call for prayer'.
(vii) 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".
(viii) They will not purify with grass like the Hindus but by means of sword they will fight their irreligious people.
(ix) They will be called musalmaan.
(x) 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
3. 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
1. 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.
b) Mantra 2
He is a camel-riding Rishi, whose chariot touches the heaven.
c) Mantra 3
He is Mamah Rishi who is given a hundred gold coins, ten chaplets (necklaces), three hundred good steeds and ten thousand cows.
d) 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.
© 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).
2. 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."
(i) 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]
(ii) 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).
iii) The 10,000 opponents mentioned in the Mantra were the enemies of the Prophet and the Muslims were only 3000 in number.
iv) The last words of the Mantra aprati ni bashayah means the defeat was given to the enemies without an actual fight.
3. 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."
i) The population of Makkah at the time of Prophet's advent was nearly 60,000.
ii) There were
several clans in Makkah each having its own chief. Totally there were
about 20 chiefs to rule the population of Makkah.
iii)
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:
i)
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".
ii) Prophet was given eternal law, i.e. the Shariah.
iii) 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]
