MUHAMMAD (SAW) MENTIONED IN HINDU BOOKS

Last Messenger and his Name According to Hinduism, this is the last period of world's history and a great reformer will appear in this time and he will lead the mankind to the right path. This reformer is called Kilki Avatar. "The prophet who will be born in Kal ag, His name will be '!arwu Anama'." "#hapter $arty !urg of %hoshia $ran& .'Anama( is used for a person who is praised. And 'sarwu( means more than others or the most of all. )ord "*uhammad""!A)& also means "A person who is praised more than others". Hindus believe that Kalki will bring to an end the present age of darkness and destruction known as Kali uga. He will establish a new era based on truth, righteousness, humanism and goodness, called !atya uga. The origins of the name probably lie in the !anskrit word "kalka" which refers to mud, dirt, filth, or foulness and hence denotes the "destroyer of foulness" ")+K+$,-+A&. "He will then reestablish righteousness upon ,arth. and the minds of those who live at the end of the Kali age shall be awakened, and shall be as translucent as crystal." /ishnu $urana +/012,13415 6ote0 %hawishya $ooran means 7uture ,vents. His Date of Birth "Kalki will born on 81th of month of %esakh "in 5th century&" "Kalki $uran, Adhiyai 1, Ashlok 89& %esakh is famous month of +ndian calendar. As per that calendar the date of birth of *ohammad "peace be upon him& is 81 %esakh 31: %akrami. And that day as per Arabic calendar, *onth ;abi +, year Al7eel and 1nd *onday. And this day was very pious near Hindus. His Mother and ather Names "Kalki will be born from !omati and name of his father will be /ishnu )esh".

"Kalki $uran, Adhiyai 1, Ashlok 88& , "Kalki $uran Adhiyai 1, Ashlok 2&, "%hagut $uran, !urg 81, Adhiyai 1, Ashlok 8:& The meaning of !omati is a "peace giver "Amina also mean this&" and /ishnu waish as "!ervant of biggest <od "Abdullah also mean this&". /ishnu means "The sustainer". +t is further mentioned that "7ather of Kalki Avtar will die before his birth and his mother will die after some time of his birth." "Kalki $uran = %hagut $uran, !kand 81&. 7ather of the $rophet *ohammad "peace be upon him& died 3 month before his birth and mother died 3 years after his birth. !"a#e of Birth "!o Kalki Avtar will take birth in '!humbal <ram' in the house of brahman *ahnt "religious leader& named )ishnu )esh. "Kalki $uran, Adhiyai 1, Ashlok 2&, "%hagut $uran, !kand 81, Adhyai 1, Ashlok :& . !humbal means the peaceful place. *akkah was such a peaceful city that even in the time of ignorance no one used to fight in this city. The word %arahman '*ahant( used for religious leader. *uhammad "!A)& was born in the house of his grandfather Abdul *uttalib who was religious leader of *eccans at that time. Marriage and Wife "Kalki Avtar will marry a respected lady of !almal -ip and this marriage ceremony will be arranged by one uncle and three brothers." "Kalki $uran = %hagut $uran&. !almal -ip is Arabian $eninsula as per old Hindu traditions. The wife of *ohammad "peace be upon him& was Khudi>a and she was most respected lady in ?uraish. The marriage ceremony was arranged by his uncle Abu Talib his three sons @afar, Talib and AAeel. Mediation in a $a%e "Kalki Avtar will go to a mountain cave and there he will get knowledge from $ershoram.""Kalki $uran& +t is well known that $rophet *ohammad "peace be upon him& was often going to the cave Hira near *akkah "still present& and there one night Angel <abriel brought the message of <od, ";ead with the name of <odB." And this revelation process continued all his life. And $ershoram is name of an angel with Hindu religion who brings destruction for disbelievers. And one name for <abriel is ;uh Al ?uddus "Holy !pirit&, which is synonym of $ershoram in !anskrit. Hardshi&' Madina Migration' ( atah i Ma))a "Kalki Avtar will start preaching his religion from his city !humbal <ram "city of peace&, which is in !almal -ip "Arabia&. The people of this city will oppose him and treat him cruelly. Then he will leave this city and migrate to another city in 6orth which will be surrounded by rocky hills and mountains. And after a certain period He will come back to

his native city with sword and conAuer it. And after that all the country will be conAuered. "Kalki $uran& ou see $rophet *ohammad "peace be upon him& started preaching in #ity of $eace "*akkah& and he was opposed by his people. The he migrated to *adinah which is 2CCkm to the 6orth of *akkah, and is surrounded by the mountains. And after reaching here the *akkans started fighting with the *uslims. And after eight years, he came with sword to *akkah and conAuered it and then he promulgated the law of <od. And after that all Arab was conAuered. B*ra+ and Ma,arag Kalki Avtar will be given a riding horse which will be faster than lightning. And he, by riding it, will visit the earth and seven skies "heavens&. "%hagut $uran, Askand 81, Adhiyai 1, Ashlok 8D41C&. This tells us *era> event, when prophet *ohammad "peace be upon him& went form *akkah to the mosAue in @erusalem and then he visited the seven heavens as it is mentioned in ?uran and Hadith. +t is reported that this %uraA "horse& was faster that lightning and its every step was going beyond the limit of vision. Hindu books say that the horse will be white at many places.%uraA was also white. !ahih al4%ukhari describes Al4%uraA0 "...Then a white animal which was smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey was brought to me." ... "The animal's step "was so wide that it& reached the farthest point within the reach of the animal's sight. ..."

He"& /0 Ange"s Kalki will be helped by the angel in his fighting "Kalki $uran, Adhiyai 1, Ashlok 5&. ?uran and Hadith tell us that he was helped by angels in %adr fight. And at Ihd also, it is narrated that angels <abriel and *ichael fought from his side. +n KhandaA "trench& angels came and helped him and defeated his enemies without fighting by thunder and storm. +n the fight with %anu ?ariJa angel <abriel came and told the *uslims to fight, he himself went forward with angels and made a Auake in them.

The first four righteous caliphs of +slam, Abu %akar, Imer, Kthman and Ali "*ay <od be pleased with all of these&. All worlds know them and their struggle and help during the life of prophet and after he left this world. The Last !ro&het "Kalki Avtar will be the last prophet and prophet hood will finish on him." "%hagut $uran, $rithum !kan, Adhiyai L, Ashlok 19& +t is very clear. ?uran also gives the same number. That prophet *ohammad "peace be upon him& is the last prophet of <od.

"@ohn 8305& !ome #hristians say that the #omforter mentioned in these prophecies refers to the Holy !prit. They fail to realiJe that the prophecy clearly says that only if @esus "pbuh& departs will the #omforter come. The %ible itself states that the Holy !pirit was already present on earth before and during the time of @esus "pbuh&. Therefore he can not be the comforter. No41 "%ut when the #omforter is come, whom + will send unto you from the 7ather, even the !pirit of truth, which proceedeth from the 7ather, he shall testify of me".

The word '#omforter' is used in the ,nglish translation for the <reek word $aracletos which means advocate or a kind friend rather than a comforter. $aracletos is the warped reading for $ericlytos. @esus "$%KH& actually prophesiJed Ahmed by name.

,ven the <reek word $araclete refers to the $rophet "$%KH& who is a mercy for all creatures. No48 "+ have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

His followers will capture the towns of the $arsis and Taus and %alkh and other big places round about. $eople will embroil with one another.
