Prophet in Hindu Scriptures An analysis (Part 1)
A relatively new propaganda seems to be on rage these days – that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has been prophesised in Hindu Scriptures. This seems to be a great hit in major Islamic websites over last few years. It is also very useful in increasing the effectiveness of conversion programs driven by vision of making India a Muslim among country within next 5 years (as resolved by Maulana Abdullah Tariq recently on Peace TV). And why shouldn’t it be effective. First, it is proved that the Kalki Avatar mentioned in Bhavishya Puran is none other than Prophet Muhammad. Second, it is Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
also demonstrated that Vedas, the final authority in Hinduism, themselves sang praise of Prophet Muhammad. Now the entry barriers for a Hindu in embracing Islam are suddenly evaporated! All that a devout Hindu is doing now is accepting the directions of his own religion with further sincerity. Thus, when a close friend of mine, who is an expert in Islam, visited a prominent temple in the heart of Lucknow, he was greeted by the head priest. He could see marks on forehead of the priest. When discussions continued on matter 1
of religion, the priest explained to him how Prophet is the final goal for every Hindu and how Islam alone can save humanity.
has the space to check relevance of his references. The same style is evident in his writing as well, which form the basis of his memorized speeches.
And now, the confused Muslim youth has found a new passion that confirms their seat in Paradise. They would simply copypaste from his articles and spread the good word around on internet forums, blogs and social networking sites. The print outs are circulated In this series, we shall in colleges and schools. critically analyze the This is often very effective claims of this propaganda against certain less-welland bring truth to the fore. versed Hindus who fall under the ploy. The founder of this hypothesis is none other I hope this article will than the stage-performer at least serve as a ready Dr Zakir Naik who can reference for answering recite page number, this propaganda through chapter number and verse a similar copy-paste if number for any book nothing more. However if on earth. His style is so this induces an attitude hypnotic and entertaining of questioning among the that the audience no more readers to seek the truth, Now my friend realized that the mark on the head was out of 5 times of daily prayer in submission to the legend who has been prophesised in Hindu Scriptures! And this is the new direction of Islamic conversion techniques that he has been witnessing.

and at least reject the obvious falsehoods that come in this journey, I would consider my efforts to be fruitful. This series is based on the original article written by Dr Zakir Naik and published on Islamic Research Foundation website. You can review the same here: http:// www.irf.net/index. php?option=com_content &view=article&id=201&It emid=131 Before we get into a more detailed analysis, let us argue a few more points: 1. Muslims have been in India for around 1000 years now. And for majority of the time, they were ruling this country. Why is it that Muslims could not discover this obvious fact in so many years? In fact, study of Vedas and Purans were more popular in Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
those times than it is today! Why is it that no commentary on Vedas written by anyone since Vedas were first authored (they are considered the oldest books) could ever discover such an important fact which is to decide the fate of the world?After all, as per Dr Naik and Quran, the only way to book a ticket to Paradise is by believing in Prophet Muhammad to be the last Prophet and his message being the only authoritative message of God! Thus no message of Vedas can be more important than this message, if it is indeed a true fiction! 2. If indeed Vedas could prophesise coming of Prophet Muhammad, why not consider Vedas to be work of another Prophet? Is it not a miracle that the oldest book on earth could predict arrival of the 3
last Prophet! So, why not accept Vedas as book of God?The usual answer to this perplexing question is that Vedas may have been the first book, but Quran is last and hence only Quran has to be followed. Now my counter-question is that is God perfect or not? If yes, which is what Quran wants us to believe, then why could not God give his first book as final edition? If God knows everything, what made him change his own theories? This means that God is imperfect. Here, when trapped, the proponents weakly argue that God’s knowledge is same but the application changes from time to time. If that be so, should not a new Quran come now when the world order has completely changed from barbaric middle ages when Quran had to accept evils like slavery, polygamy and gender discrimination?

Further, Vedas talk of rebirth. They talk of monogamy. They talk of Law of Karma and refuse belief in Heaven or Hell. They believe that nature, God and soul are beginning-less and endless. Creation and Destruction happen in continuous cycles. These are completely opposite to Quranic view of polygamy, one birth, permanent Heaven or Hell and this being the first and last creation of God that happened in few days a few thousand years ago. I can agree to some extent to future plans being modified by God as part of some grand strategy, but how can even God change the history of universe that had already happened even before Vedas came in Quran, his revised edition of message? Is God so forgetful of what he has already done? If that be so, what is the guarantee agniveer.com
that he will not realize some more mistakes and send another edition of his message? Secondly, if indeed Vedas could predict about Prophet Muhammad, and Dr Zakir Naik sincerely believes so, should he not consider Vedas also as a book by Prophets? If not last, at least the first one? This is where Dr Naik’s corrupt tricks get exposed. He fears that any admission of any other books apart from those followed by believers (Jews, Christians and Muslims) being given by God may put him in Hell forever, as per instructions in Quran. So in another article of his, he flatly refuses to admit that Vedas are indeed books of revelation. He conveniently forgets that he himself has proved that Vedas gave the biggest prophecy of all times – the advent of Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
Prophet Muhammad and claims that “ There is no text in the Qur’an or Sahih Hadith mentioning the name of the revelation that was sent to India. Since the names of the Vedas or other Hindu scriptures are no where to be found in Qur’an and Sahih Hadith, one cannot say for sure that they were the revelations of God. They may be the revelation of God or may not be the revelation of God.” You can check it out on his FAQ on Hinduism in his IRF site (www.irf.net) 3. We should also scrutinize what qualifications Dr Zakir Naik possesses to interpret Vedas? Is he a Sanskrit scholar or a Vedic Pandit? Or has he referred to works of any scholar? No! He simply lists names of some commentrators on 5
Vedas in his articles whom he has referred to. Most of these are either western indologists who are considered authentic in first place, or some others whom only Dr Naik knows. Further he does not provide exact translation by any of the scholars and only writes out the commentary that suits his predrawn conclusion. Even
6
the western indologists did not hint on even remotest reference to Muhammad! Thus all Dr Naik has done is following the old art of marketing, “That a lie shouted thousand times becomes a truth!” In next parts of the series, we will analyze the prophecy of Muhammad in Bhavishya Puran and Vedas respectively.

Prophet in Hindu Scriptures Bhavishya Puran (Part 2)
Dr Naik provides a very detailed analysis of verses of Bhavishya Puran along with references. The only mistake he made was that he presented a completely opposite picture of Prophet Muhammad compared to what Bhavishya Puran actually writes. (Refer http://www.irf.net/index. php?option=com_content &view=article&id=201&It emid=131) http://bhavishyapuran. blogspot.com/ provides an excellent analysis of the relevant portions of Bhavishya Puran with scans of original texts and dictionary meanings of the key words. In summary, the actual meaning of the verses is as follows: Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
“Shri Suta Goswami said that a demon called Tripurasur who was earlier burnt to ashes by Shiva has taken birth again in form of Mahamada (Muhammad) and his deeds are like that of an evil ghost. The ghost was rebuked by Kalidas as “O rascal, you have created an illusion to bewilder the king, I will kill you, you are the lowest…” Further, the ghost called Mahamada comes in dream of King Bhoja and says, “O king, your religion is of course known as the best religion among all. Still I am going to establish a terrible and demoniac religion by the order of the Lord . The symptoms of my followers will be 7
that they first of all will cut their genitals, have no shikha, but having beard, be wicked, make noise loudly and eat everything. They should eat animals without performing any rituals. This is my opinion. They will perform purificatory act with the musala or a pestle as you purify your things with kusha. Therefore, they will be known as musalman, the corrupters of religion. Thus the demoniac religion will be founded by me.” It is amply clear that contrary to Dr Naik’s claims, Mahamada (Muhammad) is being condemned here as a demon and not as a spiritual person. Far from being a Kalki Avatar, Muhammad is being foretold as a devil harbinger of nuisance! Having analyzed the verses, let us analyze a few more points regarding 8
Bhavishya Puran: 1. Bhavishya Puran is not considered an authoritative religious scripture. It is amply clear that the book continued to be written till late 19th century. Because it also contains stories of Jesus Christ, Akbar, Sawai Jai Singh, Alha Udal, Tulsidas, Surdas, Guru Nanak, Shahjahan, Aurangzeb, Shivaji and even Queen Victoria and her Parliament. Bulk of the material seems to be written during foreign rule. Thus, Bhavishya Puran does not even come in category of evidence, when it comes to Hindu religion. 2. Still if Dr Zakir Naik has infallible faith in Bhavishya Puran, he should also admit that Muhammad was a devil and reincarnation of Tripurasur. 3. Also, if Dr Naik agniveer.com
has so much trust on Bhavishya Puran and considers the book so prophetic, why does he not admit other advices of the book – the fastings on specific days and their benefits, worship of different idols, avoidance of meat, celibacy, shraadh, prohibition of marriage among close relatives, agnihotra, holy places, cow protection etc. And accordingly, he should refuse to believe in those verses of Quran which are against the precepts of Bhavishya Puran. In the next part of the series, we shall critically examine the claim of Prophet Muhammad in Vedas.
Muhammad According to Bhavishya purana Mahamada (Incarnation of Tripurasura the demon) = Dharmadushika (Polluter of righteousness) Religion founded by Mahamada = Paisachyadharama (demoniac religion) Original Sanskrit Version: Bhavishya Puran: Prati Sarg: Part III:3,3 5-27 Translation source: (http://www.indiadivine. org/articles/188/1/ Bhavishya-Purana-ThePrediction-of-Islam/ Page1.html)
[From the third part of More on Bhavishya Puran: the Pratisarga Parva.] Extracted from http:// Shri Suta Gosvami said: bhavishyapuran.blogspot. In the dynasty of king com/ Shalivahana, there were Bhavishya Purana : The Prediction of Islam And Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
ten kings who went to the heavenly planets after ruling for over 500 9
years. Then gradually the morality declined on the earth. At that time Bhojaraja was the tenth of the kings on the earth. When he saw that the moral law of conduct was declining he went to conquer all the directions of his country with ten-thousand soldiers commanded by Kalidasa. He crossed the river Sindhu and conquered over the gandharas, mlecchas, shakas, kasmiris, naravas and sathas. He punished them and collected a large ammount of wealth. Then the king went along with Mahamada (Muhammad), the preceptor of mlecchadharma, and his followers to the great god, Lord Shiva, situated in the desert. He bathed Lord Shiva with Ganges water and worshipped him in his mind with pancagavya (milk, ghee, yoghurt, cow dung, and cow urine) and sandalwood paste, etc. 10
After he offered some prayers and pleased him. Suta Goswami said: After hearing the king’s prayers, Lord Shiva said: O king Bhojaraja, you should go to the place called Mahakakshvara, that land is called Vahika and now is being contaminated by the mlecchas. In that terrible country there no longer exists dharma. There was a mystic demon named Tripura(Tripurasura), whom I have already burnt to ashes, he has come again by the order of Bali. He has no origin but he achieved a benediction from me. His name is Mahamada(Muhammad) and his deeds are like that of a ghost. Therefore, O king, you should not go to this land of the evil ghost. By my mercy your intelligence will be purified. Hearing this the king came back to his country and agniveer.com
Mahamada(Muhammad) came with them to the bank of the river Sindhu. He was expert in expanding illusion, so he said to the king very pleasingly: O great king, your god has become my servant. Just see, as he eats my remnants, so I will show you. The king became surprised when he saw this just before them. Then in anger Kalidasa rebuked Mahamada(Muhammad) “O rascal, you have created an illusion to bewilder the king, I will kill you, you are the lowest…” That city is known as their site of pilgrimage, a place which was Madina or free from intoxication. Having a form of a ghost (Bhuta), the expert illusionist Mahamada(Muhammad) appeared at night in front of king Bhojaraja and said: O king, your religion is of course known as Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
the best religion among all. Still I am going to establish a terrible and demoniac religion by the order of the Lord . The symptoms of my followers will be that they first of all will cut their genitals, have no shikha, but having beard, be wicked, make noise loudly and eat everything. They should eat animals without performing any rituals. This is my opinion. They will perform purificatory act with the musala or a pestle as you purify your things with kusha. Therefore, they will be known as musalman, the corrupters of religion. Thus the demoniac religion will be founded by me. After having heard all this the king came back to his palace and that ghost(Muhammad) went back to his place. The intelligent king, Bhojaraj established the 11
language of Sanskrit in three varnas – the brahmanas, kshatriyas and vaisyas – and for the shudras he established prakrita-bhasha, the ordinary language spoken by common men. After ruling his kingdom for 50 years, he went to the heavenly planet. The moral laws established by him were honored even by the demigods. The arya-varta, the pious land is situated between Vindhyacala and Himacala or the mountains known as Vindhya and Himalaya. The Aryans reside there, but varna-sankaras reside on the lower part of Vindhya. The musalman people were kept on the other side of the river Sindhu. On the island of Barbara, Tusha and many others also the followers of Isamsiha were also situated as they were 12
managed by a king or demigods. Note This: Lord Shiva said: O king Bhojaraja, you should go to the place called Mahakakshvara, that land is called Vahika and now is being contaminated by the mlecchas. In that terrible country there no longer exists dharma. There was a mystic demon named Tripura(Tripurasur), whom I have already burnt to ashes, he has come again by the order of Bali. He has no origin but he achieved a benediction from me. His name is Mahamada(Muhammad) and his deeds are like that of a ghost. According to Bhavishya Purana Muhammad was the rebirth of Tripurasura the Demon. Tripurasura was killed by Shiva in his(Tripurasura’s) past life. Tripurasura’s Past life (Mythology[not from agniveer.com
bhavishya purana]) source(http://www. ashtavinayaktemples.com/ temple. Tripurasur was the son of Sage Gritsamad. One day the sage sneezed and from this was created a young boy who the Sage brought up as his own son. The sage taught the boy the Ganana Twam, Ganesh Mantra. Equipped with this mantra the boy meditated intensely on Lord Ganesh who ultimately blessed him. He was given three pura-s of gold silver and iron. Since he was the owner of these three pura-s he was given the name Tripur. Ganesh also bestowed on Tripur to be the most powerful, who none but Lord Shiva himself could destroy and after being destroyed by Lord Shiva he would attain mukti-salvation. This boon made Tripur Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
proud and he brought havoc in the entire world. He conquered the Nether world and then proceeded to takeover Heaven. He defeated Indra the king of heaven. His aggression made Lord Brahma hide in a lotus and Lord Vishnu in the Shirsagar. He soon also took over Lord Shiva’s Kailash Parvat and thus became the King of all the three worlds. The gods wondered on how to vanquish Tripurasur. Lord Narada told them that, since he had been granted a boon by Lord Ganesh himself it would be very difficult to vanquish him. He advised them to meditate on Lord Ganesh. Pleased Lord Ganesh decided to help the Gods. Disguised as brahmin he visited Tripurasur and told him that he was a very enlightened Brahmin and could make for him three flying planes. Riding 13
these he woud be able to go anywhere he wished within minutes. The planes could only be destroyed by Shiva.In return Lord Ganesh asked him to get him the statue of Chintamani which was at the Kailash Mountain. Lord Shiva refused to give the statue to Tripurasur’s messenger. The angry Tripurasur himself went to get the statue. A fierce battle started between him and Lord Shiva. He destroyed everything that belonged to the Lord Shiva who too retired to the Girikandar. Lord Shiva too realized that he was unable to destroy Tripurasur because he had not paid his respects to Lord Ganesh. He recited the Shadaakshar Mantra to invoke Ganesh. On doing so from his mouth emerged Gajanan to grant Shiva a boon. Shiva continued 14
his invocation of Ganesh who ultimately directed him on how Tripurasur could be killed. Lord Shiva was asked to recite the Sahastranam and then direct an arrow at the three pura-s of Tripurasur. Lord Shiva followed these instructions and finally vanquished Tripurasur. The place where Lord Shiva invoked Lord Ganesh he also created a temple for him. The town surrounding this temple was called Manipur. The village Ranjangaon is considered to be the place where Lord Shiva himself sought the blessings of Ganesh and ultimately destroyed Tripurasur. This prayer (chalisa) praises the Lord Shiva (Related to Tripurasura killing) Tripurasur sang yuddha machayi,

Prophet in Hindu Scriptures Vedas (Part 3)
Let us now critically examine the claim of Muhammad in Vedas. You can read the original article at http:// www.irf.net/index. php?option=com_content &view=article&id=201&It emid=131
“Krishna” in Mahabharat or Vedas, it does not mean, they prophesise about Lal Krishna Advani! By that logic, Bible prophesises about all people born with name George and Islamic texts about people named Muhammad, Ali etc!
Let me declare at outset that Vedas contain no history or geography whatsoever and contain description of fundamental principles governing life and universe in a variety of manner. There are indeed names of several historical persons in Vedas. But that does not mean that Vedas prophesise those people. It only means that those words were popular and people chose to adopt these names. If we find mention of word
I shall not dwell into the concept of Vedas being beyond prophecies, history and geography in this analysis. On contrary, we shall prove that even if we assume Vedas to contain prophecies, that can no way be associated with Prophet Muhammad, unless IRF believes that Prophet Muhammad was a mass murderer and protector of cows, as we shall see later. And if indeed they believe so, let them issue a world-wide
16
agniveer.com
fatwa to start donating cows, stop eating beef and admitting that Prophet Muhammad killed the entire population of Mecca! Just as they would be issuing a fatwa that Prophet Muhammad was a ghost/demon incarnate in name of Tripurasur (as per Bhavishya Puran). Going further, they should also then accept the theory of rebirth! I shall quote the text published at IRF website as “IRF:” and the analysis of the same as “Analysis:” The actual meanings of the mantras will be quotes as “Actual:” 1. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) Prophesised in Atharvaveda IRF: In the 20th book of Atharvaveda Hymn 127 Some Suktas (chapters) are known as Kuntap Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
Sukta. Kuntap means the consumer of misery and troubles. Thus meaning the message of peace and safety and if translated in Arabic means Islam. Analysis: 1. By this logic, all books of spiritualism and selfhelp and their content would mean Islam! Because Peace and removal of misery are the primary goals of any spiritual text on self-help book. 2. Considering that Vedas came way before Muhammad founded Islam, this only means that whatever peaceful or good was brought by Muhammad in Islam was actually already a part of Vedic traditions. And that the word Islam was already existing way before Muhammad adapted it to name his cult. 17
It is welcoming that Muslims are now acknowledging that they owe their peacefulness to Vedas. I hope they would take this journey of seeking truth even further and completely embrace the Vedas to reach their original roots. IRF: 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 18
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. Analysis: 1. Which dictionary states that Kuntaap means hidden glands in the abdomen? 2. Further, even if it means so, as researched by Dr Naik, how does it link with navel? In abdomen, all other organs are hidden inside – liver, stomach, intestine etc. It is only the navel which is not hidden! 3. The third line of IRF quote obviously refers to Islamic belief of earth being flat, and Muhammad being born in centre of the earth! But as per Vedas and modern science, agniveer.com
earth is almost spherical and hence all points on it can be considered middle point. 4. Had Mecca (Makkah) been on Equator, perhaps some credibility could have been attached to IRF claims. But as per modern science, in a non-flat world, Mecca lies at 21-29 N. It is not even on Tropic of Cancer! (The importance given to Mecca in Islam is because of historical reasons dating prior to advent of Islam. The worship of Mecca was so popular that Muhammad could not have spread Islam by opposing it. So a religion that claims to worship only the shapeless, omnipresent Allah would still seek to face Mecca and visit it at least once to get passport to Paradise. As per some historical researches, there was a Hindu temple in Mecca. Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
The story of Mecca being navel of earth seems to indicate that there was a grand statute of reclining Vishnu there with Brahma coming to from his navel, as indicated by certain researches. This is a popular Hindu image and may have led to story of Mecca being navel of earth, in dark ages.) But no way, can Kuntaap be implied to mean Mecca! 5. The logic of IRF is fabulous: Kuntaapa = abdominal glands = navel = center = center of the earth = Mecca hence, Kuntaapa = Mecca Let’s use IRF logic on Islam itself and see where it leads us: Poison = Death = Rest = Peace = Islam hence, Poison = Islam 19
So from IRF evidence itself, there is cold, hard proof that Islam is Poison! IRF: Several people have translated these Kuntap Suktas like M. Bloomfield, Prof. Ralph Griffith, Pandit Rajaram, Pandit Khem Karan, etc. Analysis: 1. Of the translators mentioned by IRF, two are western indologists who had their own Christian agenda. They can no way be considered relevant for understanding of Vedas. 2. But interestingly, even they talk of nothing even remotely related to Muhammad or Mecca in the alleged verses. The only common point perhaps is the word camel. It seems that IRF team frantically searched for various mantras referring 20
to camel in Vedas, and chose to interpret them, as per their own agenda, as would soon be evident. Readers can review the Griffith translation of these mantras at http:// www.sacred-texts.com/ hin/av/av20127.htm and decide themselves. They can review translations of other scholars mentioned by IRF and check truth themselves. We shall provide excerpts from translation by Pandit Khem Karan as illustration. You can check them at http:// www.aryasamajjamnagar. org/atharvaveda_v2/ atharvaveda.htm 3. In their pursuit of searching mantras with reference to camel, IRF made another blunder. The Kuntaap Sukta appear at end of Atharvaveda and are not considered to be part of Veda Samhita, but merely an addendum agniveer.com
(Khil Bhaag or Appendix) by many scholars. This is the only portion in entire Vedas that have such a difference in opinion among scholars. Had IRF chosen any other Sukta/ Hymn in more than 20000 mantras of Vedas, they would have been much safer. Thus Kuntaap which IRF proved to mean “safe” is not that safe to defend their claim of Muhammad in Vedas! IRF: 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. Mantra 2 Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
He is a camel-riding Rishi, whose chariot touches the heaven. Mantra 3 He is Mamah Rishi who is given a hundred gold coins, ten chaplets (necklaces), three hundred good steeds and ten thousand cows. Mantra 4 Vachyesv rebh. ‘Oh! ye who glorifies’. Analysis: Mantra 1 Actual Meaning (Pandit Khem Karan): Narashanshah or the praised one shall be praised. O Kauram – one who dwells happily on earth, we shall receive 60090 kinds of gifts from those brave ones who have destroyed violent ones. Mantra 2, 3 Actual Meaning (Pandit Khem Karan): His chariot 21
has twenty fast-moving camels and she-camels. He donated 100 gold coins, 10 garlands, 300 horses and 10000 cows to deserving people.
Mantra 4 Actual Meaning (Pandit Khem Karan): Keep preaching in the manner a bird chirps on a tree laden with fruits till death comes. So far, nothing seems odd about the meanings given by IRF or other scholars. The only differences is that certain terms have subtly been introduced to set the context for proving Muhammad in these mantras. In modern parlance, this technique is called covert persuasion. Note that so far nothing hints at Muhammad except that there is a mention of camel!
22
Now let us enjoy the IRF research magic! IRF: The Sanskrit word Narashansah means ‘the praised one’, which is the literal translation of the Arabic word Muhammad (pbuh). Analysis: 1. The Arabic term b-ismillāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm which is uttered before every verse of Quran is literal translation of “Dayanand ki Jai”. Does it mean that Quran sings glory of Dayanand? Now Dayanand has been the strongest critic of Quran ever. So does it mean that Quran admits that Dayanand is right? 2. Again this is nothing but Poison = Death = Rest = Peace = Islam, hence Islam = Poison ( we shall keep revisiting this logic wherever IRF uses the agniveer.com
same logic as well) IRF: 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. Analysis: 1. Kaurama means ‘one who dwells peacefully on earth’. Now history is evident of how peaceful has Prophet’s life been, how many peaceful battles he waged, how peacefully he conquered Mecca and how peaceful is Islamic concept of brotherhood for non-believers in Quran/ Prophet. 2. The way Prophet Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
migrated from Makkah to Madinah, has been replicated by millions throughout the history. One can hardly name a historically famous person who becomes famous without moving around! Krishna migrated from Vrindawan to Mathura and then to Dwarka. Also Krishna has several meanings which mean ‘promoter of peace’ and ‘praised one’. So this verse equally applies to him as well! 3. Again the logic is same: Poison = Death = Rest = Peace = Islam IRF: He will be protected from 60,090 enemies, which was the population of Makkah. Analysis: From which census did IRF find out this population figure? Or is 23
yet another revelation? IRF: 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”. Analysis: 1. The mantra says allegorically that the chariot of the king will have twenty male and female camels. Even if we take it literally, did Muhammad ever travel on such a camel-chariot? And is Prophet the only camel-rider on earth ever in history? 24
2. The mantra talks about a king who is a Kshatriya and not a Brahman. So the relevant excerpt from Manu is not applicable in first place. 3. Vedas nowhere prohibit camel-ride for anyone. 4. Manu Smriti has been written much after Vedas. So evidence of Manu Smriti is not applicable in first place. Also the particular shloka from Manu Smriti is considered a later day interpolation by many scholars. In fact half of the Manu Smriti is considered interpolated because it is against the Vedas, which Manu himself declares to be most supreme. 5. But even if we agree to this shloka of Manu Smriti, it is not applicable or relevant in context of given mantras of Atharvaveda. Further the shloka simply states agniveer.com
that if a Brahman has to ride on a camel, he can purify himself by doing Pranayam. It does not say that Brahman is banned from riding camel. And the mantra or the entire Sukta has no reference to Brahman whatsoever. It talks about battle and war, which is prerogative of Kshatriya and not Brahman, as per traditional Manu system. IRF: 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 Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
Arabic word. Actually shas the same meaning and somewhat similar pronunciation as the word Muhammad (pbuh). Analysis: 1. The word “Mamahe” is used in the 3rd mantra of 127th sukta of Atharvaveda and not “Mamah”. There is a world of difference as we will see in next point. The derivation as given by IRF is their own independent research not corroborated by any text on grammar. 2. The word ‘Mamahe’ has been used as a verb here, meaning “We give” and NOT a noun. 3. Further the word has been used in plural and not singular. So it can not denote a singular person by wildest stretch of imagination. 4. If the word ‘Mamahe’ has to mean a noun 25
‘Muhammad’ in this mantra, the mantra becomes meaningless. Because ‘Mamahe’ is the ONLY verb in the entire mantra. And no sentence can have any meaning without presence of even a single verb! IRF: 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. Analysis: 1. Suddenly, gold coins have turned into believers with Prophet in his Mecca times! 2. No text of Islam states that his followers were 26
100 in number initially. Some biographers do hint at 40 followers, but 100 seems to be another new revelation. Refer http:// www.religionfacts.com/ islam/history/prophet.htm Thus this is the Prophetic imagination taken too far! IRF: 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 agniveer.com
well-pleased with all of them). Analysis: 1. What made IRF think that necklace can mean companions? Merely the fact that 10 companions of Prophet are very famous in Islamic folklores? Almost all Prophets of Islam roamed in desert and hence were camel riders.
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:
2. So why can’t this mean Ten Commandments of Moses, by same logic!
“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other.”
IRF:
[Al-Qur’an 48:29]
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
Analysis:
Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
1. This is yet another research of Dr Naik that ‘Go’ means ‘to go to war’. ‘Go’ indeed means a lot of things in various mantras depending on the context – Cow, Earth, Moving Body etc. But in the current context, where the subject is of donation, the obvious meaning is ‘Cow’. 27
Donation of Cow has been a longstanding Vedic tradition still practiced and respected. All Vedic legends were preservers and protectors of cow. All noble Vedic kings were known to donate cows. Cow forms the backbone of Vedic civilization and Hinduism. This is where IRF comes in tight spot. Because contrary to donating cows, Muhammad and his followers till today are known to be the biggest tribe of cowkillers. They take pride in killing cows in Id. Thus, this reference to donating 10000 cows is sufficient enough to prove the most sceptic mind that these mantras have anything even remotely to do with Prophet Muhammad or any of his predecessors or successors. 2. It is even more hilarious to see the comparison of 28
10000 companions of Muhammad with cow. If they mean cow, then cow cannot mean ‘to go at war’ in this mantra. Because the same word cannot mean two completely different things in same context. 3. If indeed Muslims consider cows to be compassionate and pious, as described in IRF article, what makes them kill these cows in name of Allah? What makes Muhammad a cow-killer if that be so? 4. In fact in this mantra, to make sense in lines of IRF propaganda, Go has to mean three things – to go at war (a verb), symbol of peace and symbol of war, all at the same time! It has to be a verb and a noun at the same time! Because ‘Mamahe’ the only verb in the mantra has been deliberately interpreted agniveer.com
as a noun in this mantra by IRF experts. Thus this would have to be the only sentence of its kind in history of language where a word is a verb and two nouns at same time, and another word which is supposed to be a verb is now a noun. Sounds confusing, right? But then confusion alone can breed such blinded theories! IRF:
r-raḥīm is another way of saying “Dayanand ki Jai!” Battle of the Allies described in the Vedas. IRF: 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 mantra calls the Prophet as Rebh which means one who praises, which when translated into This Prophecy of the Arabic is Ahmed, which is Veda describes the wellanother name for the Holy known battle of Ahzab Prophet (pbuh). or the battle of the Allies during the time of Prophet Analysis: Muhammed. The Prophet Again the same logic of was victorious without an actual conflict which is 1. Poison = Death = Rest mentioned in the Qur’an in = Peace = Islam Surah Ahzab: => Poison = Islam “When the believers saw 2. b-ismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.

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 Sanskrit word karo in the Mantra means the ‘praying one’ which when translated into Arabic means ‘Ahmed’, the second name of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh). The 10,000 opponents mentioned in the Mantra were the enemies of the Prophet and the Muslims were only 3000 in number. The last words of the Mantra aprati ni bashayah means the defeat was given to the enemies without an actual fight. Analysis: Actual Meaning (Pandit 30
Khem Karan): “O Protector of Truthful! You have been pleased by those brave ones who produce bliss, by acts of bravery and noble passion in wars against the enemies. Through smart action oriented zeal, ten thousand enemies have been defeated without resistance.” 1. If indeed it means Battle of Ahzab, why is the number of soldiers in Prophet’s army not given? 2. The phrase Dash Sahsra or its variants are used in several places in Vedas to signify a large number or limitlessness. 3. There is no word as ‘Karo’ in the mantra. The closest sounding word in the mantra is “Karave’ which DOES NOT mean praying one’. It means ‘for the action-oriented’. NO name of Muhammad means ‘action-oriented’. agniveer.com
So any connection with Muhammad is categorically ruled out. 4. The mantra refers to spiritual battle where the mind destroys innumerable varieties of negative thoughts through practice and meditation of positive things in life. And hence the victory is bloodless. The sukta can also be interpreted to explain strategies of war. But no way does it, or any mantra in Vedas refers to any kind of history. IRF team is advised to consult the Vedic experts to understand the hidden treasures and deep essence of Vedic mantras and come back to their original roots, rejecting the falsehood. IRF: The enemies’ defeat in the conquest of Makkah is mentioned in Atharvaveda book 20 Hymn 21 verse Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
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. Analysis: 1. There is no census data to validate that Mecca had a population of 60,000 in Muhammad’s era except IRF research based on their own revealed sources. 31
2. Literal translation of this mantra means that 60000 plus enemies and their 20 kings were crushed under the chariots. By this logic, there should be 60,000 soldiers in the battlefield. If that be so, it means that entire population of Mecca fought against Muhammad and were killed by him. If that be so, if this mantra be a true Prophecy, Muhammad cannot be a symbol of peace. On contrary, it proves that Muhammad carried out a mass genocide of entire Mecca population because they refused to accept him as their dictator! Then, Islam remains a religion of peace only in Arabic dictionary, and not in reality!
to have fought for a few hours, as per Islamic experts. And not more than 10 leaders are known to have participated from Meccan side. Thus neither the number 20, nor 60000 in mantra has any reference to this tiny battle.
3. In reality, this Balttle of Mecca was as small tribal battle where 900-1000 soldiers and 300 soldiers of Islam have supposed
III. Muhammad (pbuh) prophesised in the Rigveda
32
4. This sukta actually details spiritual battle in the mind as is evident from other mantras in the sukta. The same strategies can be extended to external war as well. But it has no inkling of relation with any tribal war. And if still, it is assumed to have so, it only means Muhammad was a masskiller. IRF experts can decide what they want to accept.
IRF: A similar prophecy is also agniveer.com
found in Rigveda Book I, Hymn 53 verse 9:
which only denigrate him. Their research of Muhammad in Bhavishya Puran has already proved him a demon and a ghost Tripurasur!
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 Analysis: Samveda 1. Literally translated, IRF: the meaning is similar to Prophet Muhammad previous verse, implying (pbuh) is also prophesised Muhammad carried a in the Samveda Book II mass-genocide of 60000 plus people to rule Mecca Hymn 6 verse 8: 2. Sushravasa means a good listener or a reliable friend in this mantra, nothing to do with Muhammad. 3. Even if its means well praised, it only means that Muhammad was well-praised by his men for carrying carnage of 60000 people of Mecca! It is in best interest of IRF to not harp on such attempts to discover Muhammad in Vedas Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
“Ahmed acquired from his Lord the knowledge of eternal law. I received light from him just as from the sun.” The Prophecy confirms: The name of the Prophet as Ahmed since Ahmed is an Arabic name. Many translators misunderstood it to be Ahm at hi and translated the mantra as “I alone have acquired the real wisdom of my father”. 33
Prophet was given eternal law, i.e. the Shariah. 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.” Analysis: This is laughing Jehad at its best. The aim to kill infidels by making them laugh like anything. 1. I tried my best to locate this mantra in the Samaveda but could not. Maybe if they can provide the exact mantra, that would help. 2. ‘Aham At Hi’ is authentic Sanskrit way of expression. And in joining of words, ‘t’ 34
becomes ‘d’. For example, ‘Sat’ + ‘Aachaar’ = “SaDaachaar”. ‘Hi’ means only. 3. If indeed Vedas predicted word ‘Ahmad’ which is Arabic word, does it mean Arabic is older than Vedic Sanskrit? 4. If Vedas could predict upto ‘Ahmad’ and number of his armymen and companion, what prevented Vedas from predicting his actual name “Muhammad”? Why did Allah create so much of confusion? Had he simply put the biography of Muhammad in a few mantras clearly spelling his name, crores of people would have been convinced of Prophet’s coming and would have prevented themselves from going to Hell! Allah must be crazy as per IRF research, then! General Analysis 1. If indeed Vedas have agniveer.com
prophecy on Muhammad, why are they not in one place. In an ocean of 20000 mantras, there are only 7 mantras about Prophet, the most important topic of the Vedas who would change the entire structure of Vedic concept topsyturvy! These too are distributed randomly and none clearly spelled the name of Muhammad. They only mean Muhammad in same way as Islam means Poison. Was it that Allah was still confused about the name of his last Prophet? 2. If indeed Vedas predict that Muhammad would kill so many people and make 10 his companion, it means that Allah had already decided that these people would be killed by Muhammad and dispatched to Hell. He had pre-decided the fate of these people millenniums Mission Agniveer - Vision Vedas.
before he gave them birth on earth! Does it not make Allah unjust and biased? 3. If indeed Vedas could predict Muhammad and his life, why is IRF and Muslim world shy about embracing Vedas as Books of God? Why he has to write in FAQ on Hinduism that Vedas may or MAY NOT be book of God? 4. And if Vedas can predict Muhammad, and they talk of concepts which clearly contradict Quran, which one should be believed? After all Quran was written 20 years after Muhammad’s death, there was no oral tradition of memorizing and protecting Quran in Muhammad’s times and his favorite followers were fighting of each others’ lives after Muhammad died! So how can we trust Quran to be authentic? 35
But Vedas have an oral tradition since its inception and inbuilt mechanism to prevent any interpolation of even a syllable. So they are definitely the most protected books of the world. So should not IRF, Dr Zakir Naik and his followers return to their roots which are so accurate, unchanged and so strong in predicting future? Further, they predict Muhammad as nothing but mass-murderer, by IRF’s own research in Vedas! Their research in Bhavishya Puran proved him to be a ghost or demon called Tripurasur who is supposed to bring lot of nuisance in the world! (Kindly refer to previous part of this series)
I appeal to all my lost friends – IRF, Dr Zakir Naik, his friends and his followers - to explore the real praiseworthy, the real Narashansah in the Vedas, the Ishwar and reject false prophecies about false prophets. Such falsehood can only trap you in your own mistaken notions in same way as this falsehood has trapped you logically without any room for escape. I appeal to them to stop believing in and spreading myths and return back to their original path – the path of Truth and Reason! Only then can peace be on him (pbuh)!
They say that lie has no feet! Hence it gets you trapped!
