Muhammad (PBUH) in holy Scriptures

MUHAMMAD (SAW) MENTIONED IN HINDU BOOKS

Last Messenger and his Name According to Hinduism, this is the last period of world's history and a great reformer will appear in this time and he will lead the mankind to the right path. This reformer is called Kilki Avatar. "The prophet who will be born in Kal Yag, His name will be 'Sarwu Anama'." (Chapter Party Surg of Bhoshia Pran) .Anama is used for a person who is praised. And sarwu means more than others or the most of all. Word "Muhammad"(SAW) also means "A person who is praised more than others". Hindus believe that Kalki will bring to an end the present age of darkness and destruction known as Kali Yuga. He will establish a new era based on truth, righteousness, humanism and goodness, called Satya Yuga. The origins of the name probably lie in the Sanskrit word "kalka" which refers to mud, dirt, filth, or foulness and hence denotes the "destroyer of foulness" (WIKIPEDIA). "He will then reestablish righteousness upon Earth; and the minds of those who live at the end of the Kali age shall be awakened, and shall be as translucent as crystal." Vishnu Purana IV:24,26-27 Note: Bhawishya Pooran means Future Events. His Date of Birth "Kalki will born on 12th of month of Besakh (in 7th century)" (Kalki Puran, Adhiyai 2, Ashlok 15) Besakh is famous month of Indian calendar. As per that calendar the date of birth of Mohammad (peace be upon him) is 12 Besakh 628 Bakrami. And that day as per Arabic calendar, Month Rabi I, year AlFeel and 2nd Monday. And this day was very pious near Hindus. His Mother and Father Names

"Kalki will be born from Somati and name of his father will be Vishnu Wesh". (Kalki Puran, Adhiyai 2, Ashlok 11) , (Kalki Puran Adhiyai 2, Ashlok 4), (Bhagut Puran, Surg 12, Adhiyai 2, Ashlok 18) The meaning of Somati is a "peace giver (Amina also mean this)" and Vishnu waish as "Servant of biggest God (Abdullah also mean this)". Vishnu means "The sustainer". It is further mentioned that "Father of Kalki Avtar will die before his birth and his mother will die after some time of his birth." (Kalki Puran & Bhagut Puran, Skand 12). Father of the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) died 6 month before his birth and mother died 6 years after his birth. Place of Birth "So Kalki Avtar will take birth in 'Shumbal Gram' in the house of brahman Mahnt (religious leader) named Wishnu Wesh. (Kalki Puran, Adhiyai 2, Ashlok 4), (Bhagut Puran, Skand 12, Adhyai 2, Ashlok 8) . Shumbal means the peaceful place. Makkah was such a peaceful city that even in the time of ignorance no one used to fight in this city. The word Barahman Mahant used for religious leader. Muhammad (SAW) was born in the house of his grandfather Abdul Muttalib who was religious leader of Meccans at that time. Marriage and Wife "Kalki Avtar will marry a respected lady of Salmal Dip and this marriage ceremony will be arranged by one uncle and three brothers." (Kalki Puran & Bhagut Puran). Salmal Dip is Arabian Peninsula as per old Hindu traditions. The wife of Mohammad (peace be upon him) was Khudija and she was most respected lady in Quraish. The marriage ceremony was arranged by his uncle Abu Talib his three sons Jafar, Talib and Aqeel. Mediation in a Cave "Kalki Avtar will go to a mountain cave and there he will get knowledge from Pershoram."(Kalki Puran) It is well known that Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) was often going to the cave Hira near Makkah (still present) and there one night Angel Gabriel brought the message of God, "Read with the name of God." And this revelation process continued all his life. And Pershoram is name of an angel with Hindu religion who brings destruction for disbelievers. And one name for Gabriel is Ruh Al Quddus (Holy Spirit), which is synonym of Pershoram in Sanskrit. Hardship, Madina Migration, & Fatah i Makka "Kalki Avtar will start preaching his religion from his city Shumbal Gram (city of peace), which is in Salmal Dip (Arabia). The people of this city will oppose him and treat him

cruelly. Then he will leave this city and migrate to another city in North which will be surrounded by rocky hills and mountains. And after a certain period He will come back to his native city with sword and conquer it. And after that all the country will be conquered. (Kalki Puran) You see Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) started preaching in City of Peace (Makkah) and he was opposed by his people. The he migrated to Madinah which is 400km to the North of Makkah, and is surrounded by the mountains. And after reaching here the Makkans started fighting with the Muslims. And after eight years, he came with sword to Makkah and conquered it and then he promulgated the law of God. And after that all Arab was conquered. Buraq and Ma'arag Kalki Avtar will be given a riding horse which will be faster than lightning. And he, by riding it, will visit the earth and seven skies (heavens). (Bhagut Puran, Askand 12, Adhiyai 2, Ashlok 19-20). This tells us Meraj event, when prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) went form Makkah to the mosque in Jerusalem and then he visited the seven heavens as it is mentioned in Quran and Hadith. It is reported that this Buraq (horse) was faster that lightning and its every step was going beyond the limit of vision. Hindu books say that the horse will be white at many places.Buraq was also white. Sahih al-Bukhari describes Al-Buraq: "...Then a white animal which was smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey was brought to me." ... "The animal's step (was so wide that it) reached the farthest point within the reach of the animal's sight. ..." Muhammad al-Bukhari, Sahih al-Bukhari[1] His fighting with Enemies of God Kalki will fight with the enemies of religion with sword and will destroy many Satan natured and bad character people in the disguise of rulers (Bhagut Puran). All history books tell about his fighting with the false and cruel people. No need to explain. Help by Angels Kalki will be helped by the angel in his fighting (Kalki Puran, Adhiyai 2, Ashlok 7). Quran and Hadith tell us that he was helped by angels in Badr fight. And at Ohd also, it is narrated that angels Gabriel and Michael fought from his side. In Khandaq (trench) angels came and helped him and defeated his enemies without fighting by thunder and storm. In the fight with Banu Qariza angel Gabriel came and told the Muslims to fight, he himself went forward with angels and made a quake in them. And on the day of Hunain

fight, groups of angels came to help the prophet (SAW). He will defeat his Enemies with 4 companions Kalki Avtar will kill his enemies with his four helpers (Kalki Puran, Adhiyai 2, Ashlok 5). The first four righteous caliphs of Islam, Abu Bakar, Omer, Uthman and Ali (May God be pleased with all of these). All worlds know them and their struggle and help during the life of prophet and after he left this world. The Last Prophet "Kalki Avtar will be the last prophet and prophet hood will finish on him." (Bhagut Puran, Prithum Skan, Adhiyai 3, Ashlok 25) It is very clear. Quran also gives the same number. That prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) is the last prophet of God. A Sweet Smell of His Body "A very sweet smell will emit out of the body of the Kalki Avtar, which will make the surrounding very pleasant and will make the feelings good" (Bhagut Puran, Skand 12, Adhiyai 2, Ashlok 21) It is reported in Hadith that body and perspiration of the prophet (peace be upon) was giving a very sweet smell. Abu Jaheefa narrates, "I put hand of prophet (peace be upon him) on my face, I found it colder than snow and sweeter in smell than musk." Jabir narrates, "If prophet (peace be upon him) passes from a street, the other passer by was recognizing from his smell that He has passed from there." His Divine Qualities "This Leader of World will have eight divine qualities. And he will ride on a flying horse, and this horse will be give by the angel to him. And he will crush the disbelievers and cruel people." (Bhagut Puran, Skand 12, Adhiyai 2, Ashlok 19-20). The Eight Divine qualities are mentioned in Maha Bharat as: 1. Pargia: To know about secret thing and inform others. 2. Kaleenta: to be from a good family. 3. Andaria Daman: To keep control over self. 4. Rasho Tagian: To get God's message by Angel or revelation. 5. Prakaram: To be of a strong body. 6. Bhabhashta: Less Speaking 7. Daan : Very open hearted and giving alms. 8. Kartagta: having deep understanding and Future estimating. The qualities mentioned here are very common qualities of the prophet mentioned in all history books. 1. He informed about past events from Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) to Jesus

Christ (peace be upon him), about Abel and his brother, about Noah (peace be upon him), Nation of Aad, Thamud, Pharaoh, etc. and also many future events like Muslim invasion of Arabia, about body of Pharaoh discovered just in last century, about big bang, about Bombs, about plane, about second coming of Jesus Christ (peace be upon him), AntiChrist Killing, Agog Magog etc. which we will discuss in next chapters. 2. It is well known that he was born in Banu Hathim a branch of most respected descendent of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him). 3. He was having an utter self control. 4. God's message was sent to him. 5. He was strong in body. Once a famous wrestler of Makkah named Rakana Bin Abd e Yazid challenged the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and said, "if You will defeat me I will accept Islam". Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) defeated him three times and the wrestler accepted Islam. 6. He was speaking very little and when necessary only in minimum eloquent speech (sentences). 7. He was always spending his wealth on poor and needy and was never keeping anything saved for his future. 8. All his life, his action and his decision reveals having a deeper meaning and future insight. Clear Description About Muhammad (SAW) & Islam in Hindu Book The Sanskrit text and translation of Verse 5 of Bhavishya Puran, Prati Sarg Parv III: 3, 3 are given below. (The boxed area in the Sanskrit text identifies the word Mahamad or Mohammad).

"A malechha (belonging to a foreign country and speaking foreign language) spiritual teacher will appear with his companions. His name will be Mahamad"... 1. The followers of Muhammad (Mahamad) shall observe circumcision (lingchhedi), wear beards on their chins (samashrudhari), no tufts of hair on their heads (shikhaheena), and work out a mighty revolution in the world of religion. 2. Their faith shall not be a concealed affair, but it shall be proclaimed aloud (oonchalapi) from the minaret of every mosque i.e. Adhaan. 3. Excepting swine (vina kaulam), they shall eat all other good and lawful animals (sarvbhakshi). 4. The Hindus use grass (kusha) in sacrice as a purifying factor, but these people shall purify themselves by means of war. 5. They shall be called Musalmans (Musalwants), for the reason that they shall ght against those who corrupt and contaminate religion (dharmdooshkah).

6. From Me shall be this religion of the meat-eaters, i.e., it shall be a Divinely-inspired faith. (Shlokas taken from "Bhavishya Purana in the Pratisarag Parv III Khand 3 Adhay 3") This comes true for muslims because they eat meat, they are circumcised, they keep beards as their Prophet did, they eat lawful things, they don't eat swine, they do warfare just for right (Islam prohibits killing innocents clearly), and they are called Musalmans. Further things said about Him His riding will be camel and He will have twelve wives. His grade will be so high and his riding will be so speedy that it will touch the skies and return back. (Athar Veda, Kand 20, Sokat 127, Mantar 2). He is god leader of the world. He is the best among human being. He is leader of all and is famous in all nations. Praise him with limitless praise (Athar Veda, Kand 20, Sokat 127, Mantar 7). When he took decision in his hands while construction of the house, he made peace all over. And every husband was telling to his wife about this (Athar Veda, Kand 20, Sokat 127, Mantar 8). While the reconstruction of Ka'aba; there arose a very serious conflict for putting Hajar Aswad (Black Stone) in its' place. This conflict grew serious and prolonged. At last it was decided that the person who will enter first in Ka'aba tomorrow morning he will have right to decide. Next day by chance Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) came first and all of them cried that he is a truthful person and we accept his decision. He took a cloth sheet. Put stone in it and told to leaders of all tribes to catch one corner. And when it reached to the level where it was to be placed, he took and placed it. All tribes were amazed at the decision and all of them appreciated this marvelous decision. Similarly, on the occasion of conquest of Makkah, he gave orders of common forgiveness for the people who do not fight. And he made peace in this city where people were under continued fighting since centuries. NOTE: Besides above references Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is prophecised at so many other occasions as well in the Hindu scriptures. On that lot of stuff is available in internet and many books and articles are available on that.

MUHAMMAD (SAW) MENTIONED IN CHRISTIAN BOOKS

OLD TESTAMENT

No.1 "And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned" (Isaiah 29:12). When Archangel Gabrail commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by saying Iqra - "Read", he replied, "I am not learned". This verse only comes true for Muhammad (SAW) because it was how he was given prophethood and this was the first verse of holy Quran revealed. Jesus (PBUH) can't be that person and no such authentic story exists about him where the incidence described in the verse occured to him. No.2 "Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh WA Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem" (Song of Solomon 5:16) Translation:"His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is Mohammad. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem." In the Hebrew language im is added for respect. Similarly im is added after the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to make it Muhammadim. In English translation they have even translated the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as "altogether lovely", but in the Old Testament in Hebrew, the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is yet present. No.3 Almighty God speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18 "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him." Christians think that this prophecy speaks about Jesus (PBUH) but they neglect the fact that Moses (PBUH) was told the prophet will be like you. Lets see things common between Moses (PBUH) and Muhammad (SAW) but not observed in Jesus (PBUH): 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Both had a father and mother. Both were married. Both had children. Both had usual/natural death. Both were statesman as well. Both did forced emigration. Both had physical victory over enemies. Both acted as Kings. Both brought new laws and new regulations. Both were descedants of Abraham (PBUH) through sons.

The Christians say that this prophecy refers to Jesus (PBUH) because Jesus (PBUH) was like Moses (PBUH). Moses (PBUH) was a Jew, as well as Jesus (PBUH) was a Jew. Moses (PBUH) was a Prophet and Jesus (PBUH) was also a Prophet. If these two are the only criteria for this prophecy to be fulfilled, then all the Prophets of the Bible who came after Moses (PBUH) such as Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist, etc. (PBUH) will fulfill this prophecy since all were Jews as well as prophets. No.4 Psalm 84: 4-6 "4. Blessed are those who dwell in your House; They will still be praising You. 5. Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on the pilgrimage. 6. As they pass through the valley of Baca. They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools." Baca or Macca is the center of Islam. Prophet Muhammad was born in Macca and Islam spread from Macca. Kaaba is the house of God in Macca. Muslims go for Pilgrimage called Hajj every year to Kaaba, the house of God, in Macca. Muslims praise God there. It is the place where largest gathering of Muslims gathers each year. There is a spring named "Zam Zam" whose water is considered the most Holy by Muslims. This verse is directly praising the people which are on pilgrimage in Baca or Macca. No.5 One of the signs of the prophet to come from Paran (Makkah) is that he will come with "tens of thousands of saints" (Deuteronomy 33:2 KJV) Same situation as victory of Macca.
The Awaited Prophet was to Come from Arabia Deuteronomy 33:1-2 combines references to Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. It speaks of God (i.e. God's revelation) coming from Sinai, rising from Seir (probably the village of Sa'ir near Jerusalem) and shining forth from Paran. According to Genesis 21:21, the wilderness of Paran was the place where Ishmael settled (i.e. Arabia, specifically Makkah). Indeed the King James Version of the Bible mentions the pilgrims passing through the valley of Ba'ca (another name for Makkah) in Psalms 84:4-6. Isaiah 42:1-13 speaks of the beloved of God. His elect and messenger who will bring down a law to be awaited in the isles and who "shall not fail nor be discouraged till he have set judgement on the earth." Verse 11 connects that awaited one with the descendants of Ke'dar. Who is Ke'dar? According to Genesis 25:13, Ke'dar was the second son of Ishmael, the ancestor of prophet Muhammad. Muhammad's (SAW) Migration from Makkah to Madinah: Prophesied in the Bible? Habakkuk 3:3 speaks of God (God's help) coming from Te'man (an Oasis North of Madinah according to J. Hasting's Dictionary of the Bible), and the holy one coming from Paran. That holy one who was under persecution migrated from Paran (Makkah) to be received enthusiastically in Madinah was none but prophet Muhammad. Indeed the incident of the migration of the prophet and his persecuted followers is vividly described in Isaiah 21:13-17. That section foretold as well about the battle of Badr in which the few ill-armed faithful miraculously defeated the "mighty" men of Ke'dar, who sought to destroy Islam and intimidate their own folks who turned to Islam.

NEW TESTAMENT
Now Lets see that Jesus (PBUH) himself said about comforter coming after him: No.1 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill" (Matthew 5:17-19). Jesus (PBUH) clearly stated hear that he is not the last Prophet and Prophet or Prophets will come even after him. In fact just one Prophet will come after him because in the next mentioned verse he clearly give indication that Comforter coming after him will be the last one. No.2 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever". (John 14:16) Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is the last Prophet. He is one whose book is for the people till the day of judgement. No.3 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you". (John 16:7) Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realize that the prophecy clearly says that only if Jesus (pbuh) departs will the Comforter come. The Bible itself states that the Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus (pbuh). Therefore he can not be the comforter. No.4 "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me". (John 15:26) "Ahmed" or "Muhammad" meaning "the one who praises" or "the praised one" is almost the translation of the Greek word Periclytos. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7. The word 'Comforter' is used in the English translation for the Greek word Paracletos which means advocate or a kind friend rather than a comforter. Paracletos is the warped reading for Periclytos. Jesus (PBUH) actually prophesized Ahmed by name. Even the Greek word Paraclete refers to the Prophet (PBUH) who is a mercy for all

creatures. No.5 "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me". (John 16:12-14) Mohammad (PBUH) is the only one after Jesus who Testifies and Glorifies Jesus (PBUH) as exactly as Jesus (PBUH) prophesized. He accepted Jesus (PBUH) to be a Prophet of God. Quran and sayings of Prophet Muhammad thought him a very pious person that was given Prophethood and a book. Quran discuss Jesus at several occassions, there is a Chapter of Quran named "Maryam" after the mother of Jesus (PBUH). In fact, Islam is the only non-Christian faith that believes in Jesus (pbuh). Muhammad (SAW) told about things to come like signs of the end times, his many Prophecies came true and are being coming true. He brought what Christians of Jesus (PBUH) age couldn't bear, even many Christians can't bear then now. No.6 Jesus said "Therefore, say I unto you, The Kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruit thereof" (Matthew 21:43) In this verse Jesus foretold Christians that Kingdom of God i.e the Religious Authority will be taken away from Christians and given to a nation which will bring forth the fruit thereof. What is fruit? Obviously True belief and doing acts accordingly. Now it is a well-known fact that a religion which arose so much late after other religions is now the second largest relion of the world by a small difference and without any doubt it is the fastest growing religion of the world.

MUHAMMAD (SAW) MENTIONED IN JEWISH BOOKS

No.1 "And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned" (Isaiah 29:12). When Archangel Gabrail commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by saying Iqra - "Read", he replied, "I am not learned". This verse only comes true for Muhammad (SAW) because it was how he was given prophethood and this was the first verse of holy Quran revealed.

No other Prophet is known in world history to whom such type of incidence occured and furthermore he had a book of God. No.2 "Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh WA Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem" (Song of Solomon 5:16) Translation:"His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is Mohammad. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem." In the Hebrew language im is added for respect. Similarly im is added after the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to make it Muhammadim. In English translation they have even translated the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as "altogether lovely", but in the Old Testament in Hebrew, the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is yet present. It is the prophecy which mentions Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by name. No.3 Almighty God speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18 "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him." Christians think that this prophecy speaks about Jesus (PBUH) but they neglect the fact that Moses (PBUH) was told the prophet will be like you.

Furthermore, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was unlettered and whatever revelations he received
from Almighty God he repeated them verbatim i.e. the description of Put my words in his mouth.

No.4 Psalm 84: 4-6 "4. Blessed are those who dwell in your House; They will still be praising You. 5. Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on the pilgrimage. 6. As they pass through the valley of Baca. They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools." Baca or Macca is the center of Islam. Prophet Muhammad was born in Macca and Islam spread from Macca. Kaaba is the house of God in Macca. Muslims go for Pilgrimage called Hajj every year to Kaaba, the house of God, in Macca. Muslims praise God there. It is the place where largest gathering of Muslims gathers each year. There is a spring named "Zam Zam" whose water is considered the most Holy by Muslims.

MUHAMMAD (SAW) MENTIONED

IN BHUDDIST BOOKS
1. Buddha prophesized 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.' 2. 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.

MUHAMMAD (SAW) MENTIONED IN PARSI BOOKS

"When the Persians should sink so low in morality, a man will be born in Arabia whose followers will upset their throne, religion and everything. The mighty stiff-necked ones of Pesrsia will be over-powered. The house which was built and in which many idols have been placed will be purged of idols, and people will say their prayers facing towards it. His followers will capture the towns of the Parsis and Taus and Balkh and other big places round about. People will embroil with one another. The wise men of Persia and others will join his followers."(Dasatir No.14) The sum and substance of the prophecy mentioned in Dasatir is that when the Zoroastrian people will forsake their religion and will become dissolute, a man will rise in Arabia, whose followers will conquer Persian and subjugate the arrogant Persians. Instead of worshipping fire in their own temples, they will turn their faces in prayer towards Kaaba of Abraham (PBUH) which will be cleared of all idols. They (the followers of the Arabian Prophet), will be a mercy unto the world. They will become masters of Persia, Madain, Tus, Balkh, the sacred places of the Zoroastrians and the neighbouring territories. Their Prophet will be an eloquent man telling miraculous things.
