A Comparison: Islam = Hindu? (2)

The Religion of Hindu has said that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. will born to be a leader.

In the old book of Hindu has said about Narashangsa. Dr. Ved Prakash Upaddhay, Muhammad in the Hindu scripture, (A.S. Noordeen, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 2003, pg.5) had explained that Narashangsa is Prophet Muhammad that will born in some days. This has proven in Rig Veda 1:13:3, 1:18:9, 1:106:4, 1:142:3, 2:5:2, 3:29:11, 5:5:2, 7:2:2, 10:64:3, 10:182:2 and 19:71:2. Dr. Ved Prakash has explained the excuse to prove that the Narashangsa that will bear is Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. and it can see as follow:

a) Narashangsa = The Praiseworthy = Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.

Every part in Veda scriptures, has been said the name of Eelit. In footnote on one of the published Rig Veda scripture, Eelit has brought the meaning of “the praiseworthy”. Muhammad in Arabic word carried the meaning of the praiseworthy too. This meaning that the Narashangsa, Eelit and Muhammad carried the meaning of the praiseworthy. They are the same man.

b) The desert is the place that Narashangsa will be born

The evident about this can see as clearly and it has same with the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. that had been born in Mecca on 570 AD. Abdullah is his father and Aminah is his mother. Mecca is located at the central of desert in Arab country.

c) The quality of personality

Has described in Rig Veda about the future of Narashangsa that will born would poses a great personality. He will be loved by all peoples. Stanley Lane Poole, has wrote about the Speeches of Muhammad (Mac Millan, 1982, p. 12) has explain that who see him, they will respect to him and who get closer with him will love him. They will said that they never meet other people are similar before or after him.

A Comparison: Islam = Hindu? (1)

Based on Islamic context for this day, it has a similarity with the others believes such as Christian. The religion that similar with Islam is Buddha, Confucianism and Hindu. Probably, Sidharta Gautama Buddha and the founder of Hindus religion is one of 313 messengers? For the answer of it, a research must held on this topic.
This question still can’t be answered. However, have an opinion that said the word of Brahma in Veda; the holy book of Hindu. It may be from the word of Abraham (the prophet of Ibrahim). The alphabet of A in the beginning and the middle of the word has erased only the B still in the word, and the A has appeared in the end of the word, so this is how the word of Brahma exists. Probably the goddess of Saraswati is referring to Sarah the first wife of Abraham. Manu or Manuh in the Veda is probably referring to Noah (Prophet Nuh). More interesting, the law of Manu is appropriate with the religion of Islam, Christian and the Judaism. The story of the big flood in the Noah time is same with what had faced by Manuh. Have been said that, the Manu law has wrote by Risyi (the prophet) of Manu. So it’s relevant to said that Manu and Noah are the same man. For further information, the detail research must hold on this subject.
The law of Manu, more focused on the human attitude and behavior, such as respected to the elder (2: 225-229), the halal and forbidden food (5: 11 – 17), the regret and the confession (11: 228-231), the scarify ceremony (3: 69 – 81) and many more.
However in the context of Buddha religion, what had teaching by the Buddha to his disciples on the aspects of human morale, it’s appropriate with what had teach in Islam. On the aspect of the divinity, Buddha does not approved or refused it. Is it the other factor was influenced it? The influencing factors in the Buddha believes’ such as no specific record about this thought and the extinct of Pali, its original language. For this, the further research must focus on it.
Straightly, what had focused on this, it is about the similarity on the same element in the world main religions; Islam, Christian, Buddha and Hindu. The most interesting in here is about the authority of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. that has been stated in al-Qur’an has appear in other religion holly scriptures such as in Hindu holly scriptures and the Bibles, state with the different name, but it has carried the same meaning; it also has described the Muhammad s.a.w. personality and character. This has proven about the truth and its purity with appearance of someone to bring the holy religion to save all human in this world.

A CONSIDERATION: ISLAM = BUDDHA? (6)

Muhammad in Buddha Scriptures
(Continuation from 10/ 29 / 2006)

5. From the context of Dakwah

Followed to the Dhamapada Sacred Book of East, volume 10, page 67 had been wrote with mean:
All Jathagatas (Buddha) is the preachers or reminders” This is so accurate with Al-Qura’an in surah Al-Ghasyiyah 88: 21-22 with meaning:

Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish (21). Thou art not one to manage (men’s) affairs (22).

6. The next Gautama prediction.

In Dhamapada, Matteya Sutta 151 had explain with mean that Maitreya that they waited will posses the honest character as follow:

i. His mercy for all creatures.
ii. Maitreya is the messenger for the peace.
iii. He is the most successful person.

As the moral preacher he has these criteria as follow:

a. Always spoken with truth and sincerely.
b. Poses a great character.
c. He is from the Royal descendents that poses a soft character.
d. He is the leader for all creatures.
e. He will become a example figure (in practice, words, and spoken) to all human.

From this evident tat the prediction of Gautama Buddha about the birth of Muhammad s.a.w. has become true. It’s so accurately with Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. personality. This means, it’s probably Gautama Buddha as a prophet too hard to be denied.
