It is stated in the scriptures of some ancient religions that Muhammad (pbuh) will come. Almost all of us have heard news related to him in the Torah, the Psalms, the Bible or have come across it somewhere. But apart from them, there is similar news, for example, in the scriptures of Hinduism and Zoroastrianism. Do not underestimate Hinduism because it is the world's third-largest religion. Considering that it has almost 1.2 billion followers, approximately 15% of the world population believes in this religion. Therefore, it is wonderful to have such news in such a religion. There is some news that I think you will be very much surprised by.

You know, Muhammad (peace be upon him) is mentioned with his characteristics, traits, and qualities that distinguish him from others. Even his name, his father's name, the name of the region where he was born, and his different characteristics are mentioned. When a person first hears this, he is surprised and says, "How come?" Frankly, I was also surprised when I researched the issue. In other words, a lot of time has been spent on this issue. There is a lot of research done by professors, and there are even written books on it.

It is important because 1- Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) could not have travelled back in time and written himself in those texts; He could not have given information about himself. 2- No human being can give information about a person to come more than a thousand years after him. It is something impossible. So, it is definite proof of his prophethood (pbuh). Of course, the following question comes to mind: "Okay, what you say is fine and good but are you saying that Hinduism and Zoroastrianism are based on the basic fundamental truths like in Christianity and Judaism?" No, I do not claim that the founders of these religions were prophets.

I cannot make such a claim because there is no verse or hadith about it, but it is possible because we all know that thousands of prophets came, before Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). It is a separate issue, but irrespective of who says it in these texts if we see this news in one part, that part of the text is definite, even if there are superstitions in other parts of the texts, as Zarathustra or someone else, may have received the revelation. That is the part that interests us. So, let's take a look at such news in the texts of Hinduism in this video. According to estimates, Hinduism was founded between 2300 and 1500 BC. It is the most common religion in India and around India now.

Most of the followers of Hinduism are Indians. The general name of their sacred texts is "Shruti", which means "what is heard" in Sanskrit. They divide this text into 3: Vedas, Puranas, and Upanishads. There is also Brahman Granth, which is an explanation of them, but they do not regard it as divine revelation. Their clergypersons are called pandits, and each piece of their text is called a mantra. They are in the Sanskrit language. This language is one of the least known languages in the world. If I remember correctly, the last time I checked, it was stated that only about 50 thousand people knew it.

In these texts, there are places in which very clear glad tidings about Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) are given. We will discuss only a few of them here. The first one is as follows: The following is stated in a part of the Bhavishya Purana: "At that time, a spiritual educator known as 'Mahamad' arose among mlecchas with his friends. So, the name Muhammad is mentioned very clearly. What else? It is said that he will be a spiritual educator; nobody has any doubts about this characteristic. Even those who do not believe in him admit that he has this characteristic. Apart from that, the term mleccha is strange. It seems very strange to say that he will come from someone other than Hindus. Why?

What would Hindus have normally said if they had written it for themselves? They would have said, "He will come from among us." Right? "Let him come and strengthen us." But, on the contrary, the name Muhammad is mentioned, and it is said that he will come from a foreign country, in other words, he will not be one of them is a remarkable detail. Of course, it is not the only interesting detail; there is also some other strange news. The second one is as follows: A little further from the previous part, in Shalokhas, between mantras 10 and 27, someone named "Mahamad", who will come in the future is mentioned, which you see on the screen right now; His name is mentioned several times.

Towards the end of this section, we see the following statements: "My followers will be circumcised, without braids, with beards, who make a revolution, call to worshipping aloud, and assimilate all religions. They will eat animals without performing elaborate Hindu rituals ..." An extraordinary term is used in a place further on. "...they will be known as Musalmaan, and they will deny the false religion." Musalmaan? Yes, it is remarkable, but let's proceed without breaking the order. Apart from directly indicating the name Muhammad (pbuh), some of his characteristics and those with him are mentioned. What is stated? Bearded, without braids and circumcised.

Now I'll stop here and ask: "If I were someone who wanted to object, I mean, if I were watching the video from the beginning just to oppose, I would object at this point. "Bearded and without braids." It is a very general term. However, among all those characteristics, circumcision is emphasised. Frankly, no one can try to interpret it differently; especially if it is stated that the person mentioned will do a revolutionary job. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) changed the society he was in radically, which makes all the pieces click into place. Then, the following is stated: "The ones who call to worshipping aloud..." that is, they will recite something to invite people to worship. Like what?

Like adhan. Just a minute; isn't the thing mentioned here, adhan? There was also this phrase: "They will eat animals without performing elaborate Hindu rituals." There is something strange here: Yes, we do not perform elaborate rituals, like the Hindus, while eating meat. In other words, we say bismillah as a deed of worship, but it is not the strange detail; the strange thing is this: In the Hindu text, a society is described as eating meat. Why do you think it is strange? Eating meat is not allowed in Hinduism. Hinduism leads people to a kind of diet. There is a sign in that statement, too, that this person will come from a different country, not from Hindus.

We will see where that country is with a strange sign in one of the mantras. The most important one is this: They will be known as "Musalmaan." Well, there's no need to explain it. The pieces of the puzzle keep coming together. The third one is as follows: In one part of the Rig Veda, the following is stated: "...Truthful and truth-loving, extremely intelligent, strong and generous, Mamah, who is the truthful and truth-loving, extremely wise, powerful and generous, has favoured me with his words.

He, son of the All-powerful, possessing all good attributes, the mercy for the worlds has become famous with ten thousand companions." The word "Mamah" here is remarkable because the word is derived from the root "mah-" in the Hindu language, which means to praise, to glorify. When the prefix ma, which adds a passive meaning, is added, it becomes mamah. Its translation turns out to be the word 'praised'. The Arabic equivalent of this name is Muhammad. In addition, adjectives such as truthful, truth-loving, extremely intelligent, strong and generous are mentioned here.

They are seen in Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) throughout his life, with the unanimous agreement of his friends and enemies; and they are the attributes through which he is praised. In addition, remember that there was a phrase "...

the mercy for the worlds..." in the text, which reminds us of a famous title of Muhammad (pbuh): Verse 107 of the chapter of al-Anbiya : "We sent thee not, but as a Mercy for all creatures." Another important detail: Being famous with ten thousand people: Yes, he returned to Makkah, his homeland from where he was forced to emigrate, in 630 with 10,000 of his companions; He returned and conquered Makkah with his companions, who were ready to sacrifice their lives for him. I hope things are clear so far. There are two other parts that I find interesting. The fourth one is as follows: The Age of Kali is mentioned in Hindu texts.

It is possible to find a detailed definition of it in different places. In short, a period when every virtue disappears, people turn away from religion, good books are destroyed, and spiritual deterioration and depression occur.

An event that will take place towards the end of this period is mentioned: It is described as follows in Chapter 24 of Vishnu Purana: "When the practices taught by the Vedas and the institutes of law shall nearly have ceased, and the close of the Kali age shall be nigh, a portion of that divine being who exists of his own spiritual nature in the character of Brahma, and who is the beginning and the end, and who comprehends all things, shall descend upon the earth: Some details about that person are mentioned: "He will be born in the family of Vishńuyaśas, an eminent Brahman of Sambhala village, as Kalki, endowed with the eight superhuman faculties..." The following is stated a little further: "...

He will then re-establish righteousness upon earth and at the end of the Kali Age ..." which we have just mentioned, "... the minds of those who live shall be awakened, and shall be as clear as crystal..." Now let's summarise this part in general terms and try to understand it. An Age of Kali is mentioned. According to what is told, in a period when the rules and laws taught by Vedas through religious texts and practices, are abandoned, a person will emerge. Then, some traits of this person are mentioned to be recognised. He is said to be born in a region known as Shambhala. It is extraordinary that the meaning of Shambhala in Sanskrit means house of trust, house of peace.

When we look at the Arabic equivalent of this name, it introduces us to a region that is not very unfamiliar to us. The city of Makkah is known by the name al-Balad al-Amin. "Can it not be a coincidence, dear?" If we look at the other phrase next to it, it doesn't seem so. Another detail: The family he will be born in is mentioned. In the family of Vishńuyaśas. Now let's have a look at this name. Isn't Vishnu a name of God according to them? So, what does Vishńuyaśas mean? It means servant of God; when we translate this name into Arabic, we see the name Abdullah, which means "servant of Allah". Wasn't the name of the father of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) also Abdullah?

Exactly at a time reported in the text, in the dark age of ignorance, and exactly in the area and the family that is reported, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) appeared and re-established righteousness on earth, as it is stated in the text; He led people to a serious awakening. With religion, he preached ethics, law, social norms, spirituality and in many other fields, he taught people righteousness and enlightened their minds. He brought out his community, praised by volumes of books, like the companions of the Prophet (pbuh), from the worst form of darkness to light.

Finally, we move on to the fifth part: In the last part, we will discuss something from Samaveda, in which there is some different news, only one of them is enough. The following is stated in the text: "Ahmad acquired religious law from his Lord. This religious law is full of wisdom. I receive light from him just as from the sun." "Ahmad acquired religious law from his Lord." The name Ahmad is mentioned so clearly; it is one of the names of the Messenger of Allah: Ahmad. Then, it is stated that he acquired religious rules from his Lord. And that's exactly what a holy book and religion mean.

As we approach the end, it is useful to remind the following once again: We do not claim that Hinduism is essentially based on revelation; we cannot do so. That is, we do not have a verse or a hadith as evidence to prove that. Therefore, it is not possible to say that. But we also know that thousands of prophets came before Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Some of them were given scriptures and religious texts; and they either disappeared or were distorted over time. So, if the texts of Hinduism, namely, Vedas, Puranas, and Upanishads are really based on a divine revelation, they have already been distorted. However, their distortion does not mean that every part of them has been distorted.

For example, the Bible has been distorted, but there are places in it that mention our Prophet (pbuh). So, what should we do? What does a logical person say when he sees this? He says, "Okay, even if these books have been distorted, no one can distort them in a way that will give news about the future." Think about it; you distort something. Er? Your distortion causes something that gives correct information about the future. It would be nonsensical; it wouldn't be possible. That is, even if the text itself has been completely distorted, even if the words have been changed, that news itself is true.

The clergypersons of Hinduism won't put such knowledge in their books themselves because this information proves that Islam is the truth. They can't give information about the future anyway; it is nonsense. We can think of the same about these texts. In other words, whether these texts were divine revelation or not at the time when they were first written, we all know that nobody could give information about Muhammad (pbuh) and the future in such detail. To mention his name, use an expression that means his name, his father's name, and mention so many different details, including him being circumcised ... So? Coincidence dear! Is it possible to say that?

when we look at the parts we have talked about in general, they are proofs for the authenticity of Islam. Isn't this interesting? It says Mahamat somewhere, Ahmad somewhere else and Mamah elsewhere yet. That name indicates exactly the name Muhammad in terms of meaning. In other words, we have such a prophet that even his name proves his prophethood. Allah shows people dozens, maybe hundreds of proofs so they may believe in the Prophets He sent. We may know very few of them, but a prophet emerged in every era. He sent revelation and evidence, one of which we have just talked about.

We talked about some of them; I haven't conveyed all of them to you, but there are as many or even more signs than the ones mentioned above in the Hindu texts. I sincerely and wholeheartedly believe that as time goes on, we will see additional pieces of evidence, and we will encounter new findings. And of course, we will also encounter those who see these findings and close their eyes to the truth after seeing it. Anyway. Follow us. See you in the next video.
