Muhammad (pbuh) prophesised in Bhavishya Purana
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:
i. The name of the Prophet as Mohammad.
ii. He will belong to Arabia. The Sanskrit word Marusthal means a sandy track of land or a desert.
iii. 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).
iv. 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]
v. He will kill the devil, i.e. abolish idol worship and all sorts of vices.
vi. 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.
2. 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:
i. The evil doers have corrupted the Arab land.
Arya Dharma is not found in that land.
ii. The Indian Raja need not go the Arab land since his purification will take place in India after
the musalmaan will arrive in India.
iii. The coming Prophet will attest the truth of the Aryan faith, i.e. Monotheism and will reform the
misguided people.
iv. 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.
v. They will announce the Aadhaan, i.e. ‘the Muslim call for prayer’.
vi. 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:
vii. 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".
viii. They will not purify with grass like the Hindus but by means of sword they will fight their
irreligious people.
ix. They will be called musalmaan.
x. 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
3. 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:
a. 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. 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).
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.
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).
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."
i. 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]
ii. 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).
iii. The 10,000 opponents mentioned in the Mantra were the enemies of the Prophet and the
Muslims were only 3000 in number.
iv. The last words of the Mantra aprati ni bashayah means the defeat was given to the enemies
without an actual fight.
3. 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."
i. The population of Makkah at the time of Prophet’s advent was nearly 60,000
ii. There were several clans in Makkah each having its own chief. Totally there were about 20
chiefs to rule the population of Makkah.
iii. 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:
i. 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".
ii. Prophet was given eternal law, i.e. the Shariah.
iii. 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]
