There Never Was A People Without A Warner

Qur'an 35:24
Verily We have sent thee (Muhammad) in truth as a bearer of glad
tidings and as a warner:
And there never was a people without a warner having lived among them
(in the past).

Qur'an 16:36
For We assuredly sent amongst every People an apostle (with the
Command) "Serve Allah and eshew Evil":
Of the people were some whom Allah guided and some on whom Error
became inevitably (established).
So travel through the earth and see what was the end of those who
denied (the Truth).

Qur'an 4:164
And Messengers (Prophets who received revealed books) We have
mentioned unto thee (Muhammad) before
And Messengers We have not mentioned unto thee;
And Allah spake directly unto Moses.
These verses of the Holy Qur’an testify that Allah (the One True God)
has sent prophets to every people. Therefore, it is not surprising to
Muslims to find prophecies about the Last Prophet, Muhammad (s), in
previously revealed scriptures. Moreover, Allah had taken covenant
with the Prophets to believe and help future Prophets of Allah, as
indicated by the verse quoted below.

Allah's Covenant With Prophets

Qur'an 3:81-82
Behold! Allah took the covenant of the Prophets saying:
"I give you a Book and Wisdom; then comes to you an Apostle confirming
what is with you; do ye believe him and render him help."
Allah said: "Do ye agree and take this My Covenant as binding on you?"
They said: "We agree."
He said: "Then bear witness and I am with you among the witnesses."
If any turn back after this they are perverted transgressors.

A Brief Introduction To Hindu Scriptures

The Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, and Brahmanas Granth are the four
sacred books in Hindu religion. The last one is a commentary on the
Vedas, but it is considered as a revealed book. These books are in
Sanskrit, the sacred language of the Hindus. The Vedas are divided
into four books: Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sam Veda and Atharva Veda. Of
these, the first three books are considered the more ancient books,
and the Rig Veda is the oldest of them. The Rig Veda was compiled in
three long and different periods. Opinions greatly differ as to the
date of compilation or revelation of the four Vedas. Swami Daya Nand,
founder of the Arya Samaj, holds the opinion that the Vedas were
revealed 1.3 billion years ago, while others (Hindu scholars and
orientalists) hold the opinion that they are not more than four
thousand years old. Analysis of the Vedas reveal differences in the
accounts of the places where these books were revealed and the Rishis
(Prophets) to whom these scriptures were given. Nevertheless, the
Vedas are the most authentic scriptures of the Hindus.

The Upanishads are considered next to the Vedas in order of
superiority and authenticity. However, some Pandits consider the
Upanishads to be superior to the Vedas primarily from the internal
evidence found in the Upanishads. Next in authenticity to the
Upanishads are the Puranas. The Puranas are the most widely read of
all Hindu Scriptures, as these are easily available (the Vedas are
difficult to find). The compiler of the Puranas is Maha Rishi Vyasa,
and he arranged the Puranas in eighteen volumes. These books contain
the history of the creation of the universe, the history of the early
Aryan people, and life stories of the divines and deities of the
Hindus. The Puranas were either revealed simultaneously with the Vedas
or some time before. The sanctity and reverence of the Puranas is
admitted and recognized in all the authentic books of the Hindus.

For a long time, the Hindu Scriptures were primarily in the hands of
Pandits and a small group of men who had learned Sanskrit (The
majority of the Hindu population knew Hindi and could comprehend only
a smattering of Sanskrit words). Sir William Jones, who was a Judge
and founded the Asiatic Society of Bengal, learned Sanskrit in the
last decade of the Eighteenth century. He was instrumental in
generating interest in Sanskrit and Hindu Scriptures in Europe, and it
was due to his efforts that the Hindu scriptures were translated into
English.

In 1935, Dr. Pran Nath published an article in the Times of India that
showed that the Rig Veda contains events of the Babylonian and
Egyptian kings and their wars. Further, he showed that one-fifth of
the Rig Veda is derived from the Babylonian Scriptures. From a Muslim
perspective, it is likely that the Hindus were given a revealed book
or books that contained description and struggles of Allah’s Prophets
sent previously to other peoples. It is also possible that
commentaries written about them were incorporated later and became a
part of the revealed books.

There are a number of examples of these in Hindu scriptures. The
Atharva Veda is also known as ‘Brahma Veda’ or in its meaning as the
Devine Knowledge. An Analysis of the Vedas reveal that ‘Brahma’ is
actually Abraham, where the initial letter A in Abraham is moved to
the end making it Brahma. This analysis is accurate when one writes
the two words in Arabic script, a language close to that spoken by
Prophet Abraham. Similarly, Abraham’s first wife Sarah is mentioned in
the Vedas as Saraswati, and Prophet Nuh (Noah of The Flood) is
mentioned as Manuh or Manu. Some Pundits consider Atharva Veda as the
Book of Abraham. Prophets Ismail (Ishmael) and Ishaq (Isaac) are named
Atharva and Angira, respectively, in the Vedas.

Background To Prophecies

It is well known that the Hindus love hero worship, and it is
reasonable to assume that over a long period of time the high regard
and reverence for some Prophets led to some of them considered as god
or God. Further, it is likely that the Book of Abraham and those of
other Prophets contained prophecies about the Last Prophet, Muhammad
(s). Muslim historians of India hold the opinion that the graves of
Prophets Sheesh and Ayyub (Job) are in Ayodhya, in the province of
Uttar Pradesh, India. In ancient times, Ayodhya was known as Khosla
according to Shatpath Brahmanas.

Some Pundits have now begun to reject the Puranas simply because they
find in them many prophecies and vivid signs of the truth of Prophet
Muhammad. A case has been made that the present Puranas are not the
same collection that Vedas refer to and the real books were lost.
Nevertheless, this contention is not correct. It is impossible that
all the Puranas which were so widely read and keenly studied, could
have fallen in oblivion and totally wiped out, whereas the Vedas,
which only a few could read and understand, remained intact until now.

Another argument against the prophecies is that these were added to
the Puranas at a later date. Nevertheless, this argument is also
without a basis. Such a well-known book, in vast circulation and read
at appointed times in prayers, cannot be easily tampered with.
Moreover, all the Pandits and the learned divines of the Hindus could
not have conspired and secretly added these prophecies to the Puranas.
The most strange thing is that the corruption is made in favor of the
Prophet and against their own religion.

All major books of the Hindus prophesy about Prophet Mohammad. In
addition to many of his qualities, his life events, Abraham, Ka'bah,
Bakkah (Makkah) and Arabia, the prophecies mention his name as
Mahamad, Mamah, and Ahmad. The name Mahamad appears in the Puranas,
Mamah in Kuntap Sukt (in Atharva Veda) and Ahmad in Sama Veda. Many
different classifications as to the degree of importance of the Vedas
have been made. For example, in Shatpath it is stated that Sama Veda
is the essence of all the Vedas. At another place in Taitttriya
Brahmana, it is stated that “This world was created from Brahma, the
Vaishas were created from the mantras of the Rig Veda, the Kashtriyas
were created from Yajur Veda and Brahmans were created from Sama
Veda.”

Prophecy In The Puranas

The compiler of the Puranas, Mahrishi Vyasa, is highly honored among
the Hindus as a great rishi and learned person. He was a pious and God
fearing man. He also wrote the Gita and the Maha Bharat. Among the
eighteen volumes of the Puranas is one by the title ‘Bhavishya Puran,’
literally meaning future events. The Hindus regard it as the Word of
God. The prophecy containing Prophet Muhammad by name is found in
Prati Sarg Parv III: 3, 3, Verse 5.

Before the English translation is presented, a note on the word
Malechha that appears in the first part of verse 5 is in order. The
word Malechha means a man belonging to a foreign country and speaking
foreign language. This word is now used to degrade people meaning
unclean or even worse. Its usage varies and depends on who is using it
and for whom. Sir William Jones had great difficulty in recruiting a
Pundit to teach him Sanskrit because he was considered unclean
(Malechha). It was only after the direct intervention of Maharaja
(King) Shiv Chandra that Pundit Ram Lochna agreed to teach him
Sanskrit.

It is not known when this word began to be used in the derogatory
sense, whether before the advent of Prophet Muhammad (s), after the
conversion of Hindu King Chakrawati Farmas (of Malabar, located on the
southwest coast of India) to Islam during the lifetime of the Prophet,
soon after the arrival of Muslims in India (711 CE) or sometime later.
Mahrishi Vyasa, the compiler of the Puranas, has defined a wise
Malechha as “a man of good actions, sharp intellect, spiritual
eminence, and showing reverence to the deity (God).

Many Sanskrit words have borrowed from Arabic and Hebrew with a slight
change as was shown in the examples of Brahma, Saraswati and Manu, and
as indicated in Table 2 below. It appears that this word is derived
from the Hebrew word Ma-Hekha (), which means thy brethren (e.g., And
he (Ishmael) shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Genesis
16:12; i.e., Ismaelites are the brethren of the Israelites). In the
context of Biblical scriptures this word meant a descendant of Prophet
Ismail (Ishmael), and it is well known that Muhammad (s) is a
descendant of Prophet Ismail through his second son Kedar. Those who
can read Arabic Script can easily see that a mistake in separating Ma
from Hekha will produce a single word ‘Malhekha,’ and when adapted in
another tongue like Sanskrit might sound like Malechha.

Table 2

The Sanskrit text and translation of Verse 5 of Bhavishya Puran, Prati
Sarg Parv III: 3, 3 are given below. (The boxed area in the Sanskrit
text identifies the word Mahamad or Mohammad).

A malechha (belonging to a foreign country and speaking foreign
language) spiritual teacher will appear with his companions. His name
will be Mahamad...

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.

“A malechha (belonging to a foreign country and speaking foreign
language) spiritual teacher will appear with his companions. His name
will be Mahamad. Raja (Bhoj) after giving this Mahadev Arab (of
angelic disposition) a bath in the 'Panchgavya' and the Ganges water,
(i.e. purging him of all sins) offered him the presents 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 malechha opponents (idol worshipers, pagans).' ‘O
Ye! the image of the Most Pious God the biggest Lord, I am a slave to
thee, take me as one lying on thy feet.'
“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 [note: e.g., Abraha Al-Ashram, the
Abyssinian viceroy of Yemen, who attacked Mecca]; 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."

More Prophecies In Hindu Scriptures

The Vedas contain many prophecies about Prophet Muhammad. Some
European and Hindu translators of the Vedas have removed the name
referring to the Prophet, while others have tried to explain away the
mantras (verses) on his life events, Ka’bah, Makkah, Medinah, Arabia,
and other events using the terminology of the Hindus, such as
purification rituals, and lands and rivers in India. Some mantras
containing prophecies are inter-mixed with explanatory phrases, and it
may be that these were commentaries and explanatory notes on the
prophecies, which later became a part of the prophecy.

Several prophecies are found in Atharva Veda: (1) XX: 21, Mantras 6,
7, and 9, (2) XX: 137, Mantras 7 through 9, and (3) X: 2, Mantras 26,
27, 29, 30, and 32. Similarly, in Rig Veda, additional prophecies are
found in: (1) VII: 96, Mantras 13 through 16, and (2) I: 53, Mantras 6
and 9. Finally, a prophecy is found in Sama Veda III: 10, Mantra 1.
These are a sample of many prophecies. The serious reader may want to
refer to scholarly work of Dr. A.H. Vidyarthi, entitled “Mohammad in
World Scriptures,” 1990. This book explains the Hindu terminology used
in the Mantras and the meaning and usage of certain words and phrases
from within the Vedas and other Hindu Scriptures.
