Muhammadh (SAW) in the Buddhism scriptures:

1. Buddha prophesised the advent of a Maitreya:

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."

[Al-Qur'an 88:21-22]

6. Identification of Maitreya by Buddha:

According to Dhammapada, Mattaya Sutta, 151:

"The promised one will be:

i) Compassionate for the whole creation

ii) A messenger of peace, a peace-maker

iii) The most successful in the world.

The Maitreya as a Preacher of morals will be:

i) Truthful

ii) Self-respecting

iii) Gentle and noble

iv) Not proud

v) As a king to creatures

vi) An example to others in deeds and in words".

Some Misconception Non-Muslim Makes:

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...
