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 anti-
India radical websites over last few years.
First, it is proved that the Kalki Avatar mentioned in
Bhavishya Puran is none other than Prophet Muhammad.
Second, it is also demonstrated that Vedas, the final authority
in Hinduism, themselves sang praise of Prophet Muhammad.
In this series, we shall critically analyze the claims of this propaganda and bring truth to the fore.
The most popular promoter of this hoax is none other than the stage-performer Dr Zakir Naik who can recite page
number, chapter number and verse number for any book on earth. His style is so hypnotic and entertaining that
the audience no more 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 youth has found a new passion that confirms their seat in Paradise. They would simply
copy-paste from his articles and spread the good word around on internet forums, blogs and social networking
sites. The print outs are circulated in colleges and schools. This is often very effective against certain less-well-
versed Hindus who fall under the ploy.
I hope this article will at least serve as a ready reference for answering this propaganda through a similar copy-
paste if nothing more. However if this induces an attitude of questioning among the readers to seek the truth, 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?

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 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, 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 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 Gods 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 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 Naiks 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 Prophet
Muhammad and claims that
There is no text in the Quran 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 Quran 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.

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 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 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!
4. And most importantly, by making claim of Prophet in Hindu Scriptures, this person and his gang have
made greatest insult of the revered Prophet. They have denigrated the founder of Islam by their cheap
gimmicks. Because, as we shall see in analysis, the verses cited by this gang to prove Prophet in Hindu
Scriptures are actually talking about a demon and a mass murderer. For us, we have greatest respect for
all religions and their founders. Thus we respect personal faith of each individual and are committed to
stand against such insult against the sentiments of millions of Muslim brothers & sisters across the globe.
In next parts of the series, we will analyze the prophecy of Prophet in Bhavishya Puran and Vedas respectively.
And we shall demonstrate how his agenda is to gravely insult both the noble Prophet as well as Hinduism.
