PROPHECY OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ IN HINDU SCRIPTURES

Scriptures of Hinduism can be classified into two types: Shruti and Smriti.

Shruti is considered to be of divine origin and Smriti is man-made.

• Books under SHRUTI are the Vedas which consists of poetical hymns and they have their subgroups: Aranyakas, Brahmanas and Upanishads.

• Books under SMRITI are Puranas (sacred legends), Itihasas (sacred epics) Ramayana and Mahabharata and Manusmrithi which is Law book of Hindus.

Prophet Muhammad in Vedas

1. Muhammad ﷺ prophesised in the Rigveda

A prophecy is 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 ﷺ.

2. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ  inSamaveda book II:6:8

Ahmati Pituhspari Meghamratasya Jagra Ehamsurya Evajane
 

Ahmed acquired from his Lord the knowledge of Divine Law

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in Bhavishya Purana

According to Bhavishya Purana in the Prati Sarag Parv III Khand 3 Adhyay 3 Shloka 5 to 8:

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

The Prophecy clearly states:

• The name of the Prophet as Muhammad ﷺ .

• He will belong to Arabia. The Sanskrit word Marusthal means a sandy track of land or a desert.

• Special mention is made of the companions of the Prophet, i.e. the Sahaba. No other Prophet had as many companions as Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

• He is referred as the pride of mankind.

• He will kill the devil, i.e. abolish idol worship and all sorts of vices.

• The Prophet will be given protection against the enemy.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in Bhagavat Purana

Bhagavat Purana 12:2:29– Prophecy says: He is Adorned with 8 qualities and riches, riding a swift horse with a sword, savior of the world. Meaning He will not use any guns/ rifles/ atomic bombs etc.

He is mentioned as NARASHANGSAin various places like Rigveda – 1:13: 3,  Yajur veda – 29:27 and in many other places.

Conclusion

Therefore on analyzing Hindu scriptures we can conclude that all these prophecy refers to none but the last and final Messenger Muhammad ﷺ sent for the entire mankind.

Allah said in Qur’an: And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. Qur’an.Surah Al’e Imran 3:85
