HIS PROPHETHOOD


4/25

The oneness of God, the creator of the whole universe

Islam is the continuation of divine messages that God

sent to humanity through prophets like Abraham,

Isaac, Moses, and Jesus.

The moral principles of the ten commandments are

reflected in the message of Muhammad.

It acknowledges the diversity of the human race and

freedom of religions

THE MESSAGE


5/25

1. The Prophet (pbuh) was unlettered.

"And you did not recite any Book before it, nor did you write one with your right hand; in that case the

liars would have doubted." (29:48)

2. The Arabs were challenged to bring forth something similar to the Quran, and they were

unable to do so! The Messenger of God (pbuh) said:

"The miracles of the Prophets (before Muhammad pbuh) were confined to their times. The miracle I

have been given is the Quran, which is everlasting; therefore, I hope to have the most followers."

(Bukhari 4598)

3. The Prophet p.b.u.h. continued preaching and calling people to Islam, even though he faced

many hardships and was confronted by his people, who were plotting to kill him.

4.Didnt care about tempting offers given to him and fought for the islam:

Thomas Carlyle, said:"They called him a prophet, you say? Why, he stood there face to face with them, here, not enshrined in

any mystery, visibly clouting his own cloak, cobbling his own shoes, fighting, counseling ordering in

the midst of them. They must have seen what kind of a man he was, let him be called what ye like. No

emperor with his tiaras was obeyed as this man in a cloak of his own clouting. During three and twenty

ears of rough, actual trial, I find something of a veritable hero necessary for that of itself.

PROOFS OF PROPHETHOOD

5. Allah instilled great love for Muhammad (may Allahs blessings and peace be upon him) in thehearts of all who believed in and met him. This love reached such a degree that any of his companionswould willingly sacrifice his (or her) self, mother or father for him. Till today, those who believe inMuhammad honor and love him. Anyone of those who believe in him would ransom his own family and

wealth to see him, even if but once.

6.All of history has not preserved the biography of any person in the manner it has preserved the lifeof Muhammad, who is the most influential human in history. Nor has the entire earth known of anyonewhom every morning and evening, and many times thereafter throughout the day, are thought of by thosewho believe in him. Upon remembering Muhammad, the believers in him will greet him and ask Allah tobless him. They do such with full hearts and true love for him.

7. Veracity and truthfulness of his principles and that they are good and suitable for every time andplace. The results of the application of Islam are clear and well known, which in turn testify that it is indeeda revelation from God. Further-more, is it not possible for Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to be a Prophet, asmany Prophets and Messengers were sent before him? If the answer to this query is that there is nothing thatprevents this - we then ask, why do you reject his Prophethood, and confirm the Prophethood of the

Prophets be-fore him?

8. Man cannot bring about laws similar to the laws of Islam which deal with every aspect of life, suchas transactions, marriage, social conduct, politics, acts of worship and the like. So, how can anunlettered man bring something like this? Isnt this a clear proof and sign of his Prophethood?

What non-muslims said about Mohammed (p.b.u.h.) "My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential

persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he

was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both thereligious and secular level."

Michael H. Hart, The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons inHistory, 1978

"That marvelous and gifted teacher created a vast empire of new belief andnew civilization, and prepared a sixth part of humanity for the developmentsand reconciliations which later times will bring. For Islam must be conciliated;

it cannot be thrust scornfully inside or rooted out. It shares the task of theeducation of the world with its sister religions."

Edwin Arnold, Victorian poet

"He must be called the Savior of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him wereto assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving itsproblems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I

have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable tothe Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe oftoday. George Bernard Shaw, The Genuine Islam, 1936

lf a man like Muhammad were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world,he would succeed in solving its problems that would bring it the much neededpeace and happiness. George Bernard Shaw

If ever a man ruled by a right divine, it was Muhammad, for he had all thepowers without their supports. He cared not for the dressings of power. Thesimplicity of his private life was in keeping with his public life."

Reverend Bosworth Smith in 'Muhammad and Muhammadanism,' London,1874

What non-muslims said about Mohammed (p.b.u.h.)

Muhammad founded and promulgated one of the worlds great religions, and

became an immensely effective political leader. Today, thirteen centuries afterhis death, his influence is still powerful and pervasive.

Michael Hart The 100 A ranking of the most influential persons in history

"His military triumphs awakened no pride nor vain glory as they would havedone had they been effected by selfish purposes. In the time of his greatestpower he maintained the same simplicity of manner and appearance as in the

days of his adversity. So far from affecting regal state, he was displeased if, onentering a room, any unusual testimonial of respect was shown to him."

Washington Irving

PROPHET MUHAMMAD IN CHRISTIANITYAlmighty 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

thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak untothem all that I shall command him.

Muhammad (P.b.u.h) is prophesized in the book of Isaiah:

It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12:

And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read

this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. When Archangel

Gabriel commanded Muhammad (P.b.u.h) bysaying IQRA

Read, he replied," I am not learned.

John chapter 14 verse 16:"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another

Comforter, that he may abide with you forever."

Gospel of John chapter 15 verse 26:"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from

the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the

In Hindu Scriptures

1.NAME OF KALKI AVTAR:

According to Kalki Puran the name of Kalki Avtar will be SARWANAMA.

The meaning of "ANAMA" is praised one and "SARW" mean most of all, so

"Sarwanama" means the most praised one and in Arabic language

"Muhammad " has the same meaning, if we translate Sanskrit word

Sarwanama in to Arabic language it will be "Muhammad" only difference is

the language.

2. PARENTS OF KALKI AVTAR

"He will be born from "SOOMATI" and his father's name will be "VAISHNUVESH".

" (Kalki Puran 2, Shloka II)

VAISHNUVESH and SOOMATI means servant of God (the cherisher) and

peace, respectively. Prophet Muhammad father's name was ABDULLAH in

Arabic language, which means God's servant, and his mother's name was

AMINA in Arabic language, which means peace, so if we translate Sanskritword "Vaishnuvesh & Soomati" in Arabic language it will be "Abdullah &


21/25

*PLACE OF BIRTH

"HE will be born at "SHAMBAL GARAM" in VAISHNUVESH'S Brahmin Mahant's

(religious saint) respectable house

(Bhagwat Puran, Khand 12, Shloka 18 and Kalki Puran Adhay 2, Shloka 4)

SHAMBAL mean peace and GARAM mean city or village, so SHAMBAL

GARAM means a peace full city or city of peace, and this quality & name

has been specified only for Arabia's city "MAKKAH" no other city in the

world has been named city of peace. In the Holy Quran this city has been

called as "ALBALAD ALAMEEN" which mean peace full city or city ofpeace. For reference see Holy Quran (14:35) O God, make it (Makkah) a

City of Peace". And Makkah is the city where prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

born.

VAISHNU-VESH, Vaishnu is actually God's name and VESH meansservant or BHAGAT and man Vaishnuvesh mean God's servant or God's

*A FLYING HORSE FROM GOD

* He will receive a flying horse from God, which will be faster than lightning.

Riding it he will go around earth and seven skies" (Bhagwat Puran Khand 12,

Adhay 2, Shloka19-20)

This prediction is about Kalki Avtar also match with the Incidence of "MIRAJ"For reference see Holy Quran (17.1) and for detail Hadith s of prophet

Muhammad (PBUH) regarding Incidence of Miraj. According to these

references Prophet Muhammad traveled the seven skies and there he met

with previous Prophets, and for this God gave him a horse name BARQ

which mean lightning and word Miraj mean height and ladder. Please study

life history of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for details.

In Hindu Scriptures


23/25

In the religious books of Hindus, it is mentioned that the staple food ofKalki Avatar would be dates and olives and he would be the most

honest and truthful person in the region. Without any doubt the Prophet

Mohammed (PBUH) is acclaimed to possess these qualities.

It is stated in Vedas (holy book of Hindu Religion) that the birth of Kalki

Avatar would take place in an honourable clan. This perfectly fits the

Quraysh where Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) belonged to.

God would teach Kalki Avatar through His messenger (angel) in a

cave. Allah taught Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)through His messenger

Jibraeel(Gabriel) in a cave known as Ghaar-e-Hira.
