A) Almost all Buddhist books contain this prophecy. It is in Chakkavatti Sinhnad Suttanta D. III, 76:
"There will arise in the world a Buddha named Maitreya (the benevolent one) a holy one, a supreme one, an enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe:
"What he has realized by his own supernatural knowledge he will publish to this universe. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at its climax, glorious at the goal, in the spirit and the letter. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and thoroughly pure; even as I now preach my religion and a like life do proclaim. He will keep up the society of monks numbering many thousands, even as now I keep up a society of monks numbering many hundreds".
B) According to Sacred Books of the East volume 35 pg. 225:
"It is said that I am not an only Buddha upon whom the leadership and order is dependent. After me another Buddha maitreya of such and such virtues will come. I am now the leader of hundreds, he will be the leader of thousands."
C) According to the Gospel of Buddha by Carus pg. 217 and 218 (From Ceylon sources):
"Ananda said to the Blessed One, ‘Who shall teach us when thou art gone?'
And the Blessed one replied, 'I am not the first Buddha who came upon the earth nor shall I be the last. In due time another Buddha will arise in the world, a holy one, a supremely enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals. He will reveal to you the same eternal truths, which I have taught you. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at the climax and glorious at the goal. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and pure such as I now proclaim. His disciples will number many thousands while mine number many hundreds.'
Ananda said, 'How shall we know him?'
The Blessed one replied, 'He will be known as Maitreya'."
(i) The Sanskrit word ‘Maitreya’ or its equivalent in Pali ‘Metteyya’ means loving, compassionate, merciful and benevolent. It also means kindness and friendliness, sympathy, etc. One Arabic word which is equivalent to all these words is ‘Rahmat’. In Surah Al-Anbiya:
"We sent thee not, but as a mercy for all creatures."
[Al-Qur’an 21:107]
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was called the merciful, which is ‘Maitri’.
(ii) The words Mercy and Merciful are mentioned in the Holy Qur’an no less than 409 times.
(iii) Every chapter of the Glorious Qur’an, except Chapter 9, i.e. Surah Taubah begins with the beautiful formula, 'Bismillah Hir-Rahman Nir-Rahim', which means 'In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful'.
(iv)The Word Muhammad is also spelt as ‘Mahamet’ or ‘Mahomet’ and in various other ways in different languages. The word ‘Maho’ or ‘Maha’ in Pali and Sanskrit mean Great and Illustrious and ‘Metta’ means mercy. Therefore ‘Mahomet’ means ‘Great Mercy’.
2. Buddha’s doctrine was Esoteric and Exoteric:
According to Sacred Books of the East, volume 11, pg. 36 Maha-Parinibbana Sutta chapter 2 verse 32:
"I have preached the truth without making any distinction between exoteric and esoteric doctrine, for in respect of truths, Ananda, the Tathagata has no such thing as the closed fist of a teacher, who keeps something back".
Muhammad (pbuh) on the commandment of Almighty God delivered the message and doctrine without making any distinction between esoteric and exoteric. The Qur'an was recited in public in the days of the Prophet and is being done so till date. The Prophet had strictly forbidden the Muslims from hiding the doctrine
3.Devoted Servitors of the Buddhas:
According to Sacred Books of the East volume 11 pg. 97 Maha-Parinibbana Sutta Chapter 5 verse 36:
"Then the Blessed one addressed the brethren, and said, ‘Whosoever, brethren have been Arahat-Buddhas through the long ages of the past, they were servitors just as devoted to those Blessed ones as Ananda has been to me. And whosoever brethren shall be the Arahat-Buddhas of the future, there shall be servitors as devoted to those Blessed ones as Ananda has been to me’."
The Servitor of Buddha was Ananda. Muhammad (pbuh) also had a servitor by the name Anas (r.a.) who was the son of Malik. Anas (r.a...) was presented to the Prophet by his parents. Anas (r.a...) relates: "My mother said to him, 'Oh Messenger of God, here is your little servant'." Further Anas relates, "I served him from the time I was 8 years old and the Prophet called me his son and his little beloved". Anas (r.a...) stayed by the Prophet in peace and in war, in safety as well as in danger till the end of his life.
i)Anas (r.a.), even though he was only 11 years old stayed beside the Prophet during the battle of Uhud where the Prophet’s life was in great danger.
ii) Even during the battle of Honain when the Prophet was surrounded by the enemies who were archers, Anas (r.a...) who was only 16 years old stood by the Prophet.
Anas (R) can surely be compared with Ananda who stood by Gautam Buddha when the mad elephant approached him.
4. Six Criteria for Identifying Buddha:
According to the Gospel of Buddha by Carus pg. 214:
"The Blessed one said, ‘There are two occasions on which a Tathagata’s appearance becomes clear and exceedingly bright. In the night Ananda, in which a Tathagata attains to the supreme and perfect insight, and in the night in which he passes finally away in that ultra passing which leaves nothing whatever of his earthly existence to remain.’ "
According to Gautam Buddha, following are the six criteria for identifying a Buddha.
i) A Buddha attains supreme and perfect insight at night-time.
ii) On the occasion of his complete enlightenment he looks exceedingly bright
iii) A Buddha dies a natural death.
iv) He dies at night-time.
v)He looks exceedingly bright before his death.
vi) After his death a Buddha ceases to exist on earth.
i)Muhammad (pbuh) attained supreme insight and Prophethood at night-time.
According to Surah Dukhan:
"By the books that makes thing clear – We sent it down during a blessed night."
[Al-Qur'an 44:2-3]
According to Surah Al-Qadar:
"We have indeed revealed this (message) in the night of power."
[Al-Qur'an 97:1]
ii) Muhammad (pbuh) instantly felt his understanding illumined with celestial light.
iii) Muhammad (pbuh) died a natural death.
iv)According to Ayesha (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) expired at night-time. When he was dying there was no oil in the lamp and his wife Ayesha (r.a.) had to borrow oil for the lamp.
v)According to Anas (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) looked exceedingly bright in the night of his death.
vi) After the burial of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) he was never seen again in his bodily form on this earth.
5. Buddhas are only Preachers:
According to Dhammapada, Sacred Books of East volume 10 pg., 67:
"The Jathagatas (Buddhas) are only Preachers."
The Qur’an says in Surah Ghashiya:
"Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs."
Why Muslims tell lie, why muslim is bad...etc etc.??? Ans: My dear brothers, it is not the problem of "ISLAM" it is the problem of "MUSLIMS" Do you know Bible says, if somebody slap on ur face, expose him the other side to slap. If somebody pull ur upper garment, go far away from others where there is no one and give him ur undergarments too. I ask you: Why didn't Bush give the one (who has made the twin tower to collapse) to Collapse Washington DC? Is is His problem or the religion's problem? (smile)
Who is that 9 year old girl and why Muhamed (PBUH) married her? Ans: She was Sayyidhna 'Aishath Radhiyallah 'Anh. Regarding your question of criticizing Islam the answer is: 1. The responsibility of the prophet was very huge as we all know, so as to make easier for spreading his message, he even married to the daughters of very enemies of Islam then, he could make a friendship in them in that way
It is the custom of Saudhi Arabiyya that the son-in-law (daughter's husband) is very high post in their family. And Do you know: when Muhamed (SAW) married to the daughter of Abu Sufyan (One of the greatest Enemy in whose leadership many wars were taken place), the daughter was forced to stay in the house of Muhamed (SAW) by ABU SUFYAN himself.
2. Because of the climate the Saudhi girls get the age of puberty very soon. (if you don't believe in this, please visit there). A 9 year old Saudhi (arab) girl physically looks like a 20 or 22 year old woman in India/Europe/America. And it is a custom of Saudhi, or it makes no problem for them getting married to a very young age. Even Ali bin Talib (RA) married while he was some 10 to 15 years of age to an about 7 year old girl (daughter of Muhamed (SAW)).
3. Prophet (SAW) married to 'Aisha (RA), in the time of Abu Jahl*** (the pharaoh of the Ummah) and Abu Lahab. They said no commentary on that. NOT EVEN A SINGLE STATEMENT the had said in the history against his marriage to 'Hazrath 'Aisha Radhiyallah 'Anh.
4. And even today, one of my friend told that he met a wedding party, where a 50 year old man getting married to a 9 year old lady, and they have no objection.
5. Abdhullah ibn 'Amr bin Al-'Aas had only 9 year old age difference with his father. (We have 20+ year old difference. Don't we?). And this 'Amr bin Al-'Aas was formerly a non muslim. (an arab). No one commented.
6. Imam Shafi'ee (Rahimahumullah) said he saw an women of 28 year old looking like a grand mother. (Note: Imam Shafi'ee wasn't a Saudhi citizen. He went there anyhow)
7. If you are asking that, Ok. He Muhamed (SAW), first marriage was with a WIDOW of 28 or 45 (difference in narration). But Muhamed (SAW) was then, called as the "Trustworthy man" in the people of Q'uraish. Will you accept a marriage with an old women (that even a widow) while you are a famous handsome man with whom every parent is very pleased? Of course not.
So, His marriages were for reasons. And it is the custom of Saudhi, you are asking. IF YOU CANNOT BELIEVE, GO TO SAUDHI 'ARABIYYA AND SEE IT IN YOUR OWN EYES. DON'T LISTEN FROM THE CRITICS PLEASE.
Why muslim can marry 4 wives?: Ans: before this know about the population status of bigger countries like America, Newyork etc. if we human are allowed to marry only one mate, then there will surely be many people without husbands. And they have to live their life without...??? which makes evil behaviours in them. Like Lesbians. So if there is a rule like that ofcourse then, there will not be any problem. Will there be?
Now back to Islam: Islam says IFFFFFFFFFFFF you can make equality among your wives then marry upto 4. But IF you cannot or afraid of that THEN MARRY ONLY ONE. Isn't this beautiful? Yes, it is.
Are Muslim husbands permitted to hit their wives?: Some few points about muslim women (according to Qur'an and authentic Hadhith) is:...
1. ALWAYS OBEDIENT TO HER HUSBAND: In ur case, no need to be obedient. You may shout at each other and go away from the house With another MAN. Okay
2. SHE IS PREPARED TO FULLFIL HER HUSBAND'S WISHES, (as much as they can): NOT EVEN IF SHE CAN'T. If she cannot, no one has the right to even talk about her. What do you know from Islam huh?
3. SHE TAKES CARE OF HUSBAND'S PROPERTIES AND THE CHILDREN: Means not she be a bodyguard. It means to build up and raise another good generation (1000 times better than you). What do you know from Islam huh?
4. SHE HAS of course no right to MINGLE WITH OTHER MAN or MEN: (This is barbaric). Okay.. And that is why there are innumerable fights b/w husband and wife in so called hollywood or any other wood. STARRR... you are boasting while your sis, or wife or mom being seduced by some body else HAPPILY. Barbaric. Okay. But n ur case, the girls will have no much attachement to her husband coxxxxxx' she know she has many sex experiance and that is not even new to her. If our wives are new (packed) we will have more comfort and more attachement. You are living like the people who picks the garbage.
WE ARE POSSESSING THE PACKED ITEMS. & YOU THE USED SHIT ONCE.
Barbaric. Okay. And that is why these kinda sexually transmitted diseases are so common up there. haaan? Barbaric. Okaey. And that is why 99% pornstars are accused to self killed by drugs overdose and jumping from storied buidings or..etc etc. What the hell do you know from Islam huh???
5. HUSBAND HAS TO GUARD HER & PROTECT HER: No one has a right to hit her (including her husband), except in very very rare (religious cases). BUT ADVISABLE NOT TO HIS HARD. "he should be on his limit". bring me ONE not much ONLY ONE hadhees or verse that says we can hit our wives in whatever way we want: This hit contains love, you will laugh now of course. And better to laugh ur govt cox' why they made jails.... ? why Rehibilitation Centres... there are occasions (though very few) we may have to punish our children in order to protect them from countinuing doing wrong. what the hell do you know from islam ???
6. SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO GET DIVORCED IF SHE WANT (in certain occasions) Does it sounds good. Do you know this?
7. SHE of course has to cover herself. WHAT IS INSIDE IS SOMETHING WHICH SHE HAS TO GIFT HER HUSBAND ONLY: nice. your wife, I am sure, your friends has nothing more to see in her. (feel embarrased to talk this.). My wife. I bet none of my friend or my family where she now lives, NO ONE has seen her more than her hands (up to the wrist) and the face.
8. Most of all SHE IS OUR HOME MINISTERS ;-) Sounds Goooooooooood. and more... I am not a student studying Islam: what is wrong with you is you are seeing what today's muslim do. what today's christians do? are they good. they have the right to kill their wives. IF YOU DON'T KNOW read Deutronomy Chap: 13 verse: 8 or (verses 7 to 11)
what is different between my wife and your wife is.... My wife is a BRAND NEW, THE BEST ACHIEVEMENT I have had, property of MINE ONLY,
and your wife is... An OLD worn out, THOUSAND OR MORE TIMES USED crumpled out...
Not even your property STILL, or a property that you have no right to own by ur self, and has a SHAREHOLDERS...
And it is your thousandth or more girlfriend you have had, has no attachment with her. NOT EVEN CARE ABOUT HER...
The sacred scripture of the muslim is The word of Allah: The Qur’an. And Bukhaaree and Muslim are two authentic Hadhith books which describe the Sunna (behavior and wordings) of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
Now what is Islam?
Islam means the total submission to the will of Allah almighty., which if you want to say in 'Arabic: it is Islam.
Ans: It is the religion of terrorism. This might be the answer you have right now. But look at this:
" Whoever kills himself with an Iron weapon, then the Iron weapon will remain in his hand, and he will continuously stab himself in his belly with it in the Fire of Hell eternally, forever and ever " [Bukhaaree no. 5778] and [Muslim no. 109]
"And fight in the way of Allah those who fight you. But do not transgress limits. Truly Allah loves not the transgressors."
Qur'an, Surah Al-Baqarah (2:190)
Why to fight? Yes why? It is because, to defend the religion of the owner of the Universe. This does not mean to outrun the limits. Other thing is I personally feel is if we are not called to fight in the course of Allah: the owner of the heavens & earth, there might be an incompletion in the God whoever he might be. Why? Because God cannot punish his creations without leading them to the news about his religion in some way. To lead them to the news of Islam: it has to be a must for the muslims to defend and protect Islam.
Read these verses: (Qur'an 4:29-30, 17:33, 2:178, 42:42, 5:8) and many more.
“Islam is the solution for the terrorism, not the source of it”
Now hold on. I do not want to talk about Islam since now I am a Muslim. Rather I will guide you there. You yourself read and judge. It is because you might be having a chance to think that I am exaggerating.
According to Swami Dayanand, founder of the Arya Samaj, the Vedas were revealed 1310 million years ago. According to other scholars, they are not more than 4000 years old. Vedas are considered to be the most authentic of the Hindu Scriptures and the real foundations of the Hindu Dharma
2. UPANISHADS:
The Upanishads are the concluding portion of the Vedas and chronologically they come at the end of the Vedic period. Some Pundits consider the Upanishads to be more superior to the Vedas
3. PURANAS:
It is believed that the Puranas contain the history of the creation of the universe, history of the early Aryan tribes, life stories of the divines and deities of the Hindus
4. ITIHAAS:
The two epics of Hinduism are the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
A. Ramayana:
B. Mahabharata:
C. Bhagavad Gita: It contains 18 chapters. The Bhagavad Gita is one of the most widely read and revered of the works sacred to the Hindus. It tells a story of a moral crisis faced by Arjuna.
The message of Hinduism: There is One God:
Bhagavat Gita 7-22: Endowed with such a faith, he endevours to worship a particular demigod and obtains his desires. But in actuality these benefits are bestowed by Me alone.
Bhagavat Gita 7-23 : Men of small intelligence worship the demigods, and their fruits are limited and temporary. Those who worship the demigods go to the planets of the demigods, but My devotees ultimately reach My supreme planet.
Bhagavat Gita 7-24: "The ignorant believe that un-manifest Para Brahma (One God) incarnates or takes manifestations, because they do not completely understand My highest, immutable, incomparable, and transcendental existence."
Bhagavat Gita 7:19-21: "All those who do idol worship, All those who worship demigods are materialistic people."
Yajur Veda 3:32: "...Of that God you cannot make any images."
Yajur Veda 32:3: "God is formless and bodiless"
Yajur Veda 40:8: "All those who worship the uncreated things, they are in
darkness, and you'll enter more into darkness if you worship the created things."
Rig Veda, Vol.8,1:1: "All Praise are to Him alone"
Rig Veda, Vol.6,45:16: "There is only One God, worship Him."
The message of Muhammadh (SAW) from Hindu scripture:
As an argument to prove the authenticity of his research, Pundit Vaid Parkash quotes from the Veda, a sacred book Among Hindus:
1. Veda mentions that 'kalki autar' will be the last Messenger/Prophet of Bhagwan (Allah) to guide the whole world. After quoting this reference the Pundit Parkash says that this comes true only in the case of Muhammed (saw).
2. According to a prophecy of Hinduism, 'kalki autar' will be born in an island and that is the Arab territory which is known as 'jazeeratul Arab'.
3. In the 'sacred' book of Hindus the father's name of 'kalki autar' is mentioned as 'Vishnu Bhagat' and his mother's name as 'somanib'. In sanskrit, 'vishnu' stands for Allah (swt) and the literal meaning of 'bhagat' is slave. 'Vishnu Bhagat' therefore, in the Arabic language will mean Allah's slave (Abdullah). 'Somanib' in Sanskrit means peace and tranquilty which in arabic is denoted by the word 'Amina'. Whereas the last Messenger Muhammed's (saw) father and mother's names were Abdullah and Amina respectively.
4. In the big books of Hindus, it is mentioned that 'kalki autar' will live on olive and dates and he will be true to his words and honest. In this regard Pundit Parkash writes, "This is true and established only in the case of Muhammed (saw)".
5. Veda mentions that 'kalki autar' will be born in the respected and noble dynasty of his land. And this is also true as regards Muhammed (saw) as he was born in the respected tribe of Quraish who enjoyed great respect and high place in Makkah.
According to Bhavishya Purana in the Prati Sarag Parv III Khand 3 Adhay 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 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:
The name of the Prophet as Mohammad.
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 Sahabas. No other
Prophet had as many companions as Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
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]
He will kill the devil, i.e. abolish idol worship and all sorts of vices.
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 Raja 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.
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:
The evil doers have corrupted the Arab land
Arya Dharma is not found in that land.
The Indian Raja need not go the Arab land since his purification will take place in India
after the musalmaan will arrive in India.
The coming Prophet will attest the truth of the Aryan faith, i.e. Monotheism and will
reform the misguided people.
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.
They will announce the Aadhaan, i.e. ‘the Muslim call for prayer’.
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".
They will not purify with grass like the Hindus but by means of sword they will fight their irreligious people.
They will be called musalmaan.
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
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.
c.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). See: http://dhonkalo21.blogspot.com/2008/09/ramazan-mubarak.html 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."
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]
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."
The population of Makkah at the time of Prophet’s advent was nearly 60,000
There were several clans in Makkah each having its own chief. Totally there were about 20
chiefs to rule the population of Makkah.
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:
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]
After reading all this it would become your moral responsibility to try and read your own scriptures in their pure content and move towards the truth-which you never tried to read or noone tought you or you considered them for the pandits chanting only and not for everyone and today the fact is that even pandits can't tell you what it means but just recite it as it is.
I pray to allah the almighty to guide you in the correct path and forgive you your sins and offences.
Aameen

“Can’t you now at least think about the purpose of life? Or at least can’t you read about Islam? Because you can’t judge things wrong through other’s minds”
It is the Holy book of Islam which says to think about your God, and to think about his blessings. Read and understand the beauty of Islam. Can’t you do that much before you are judged?
