mahamadh ithi khayat, shishya-sakha-samniviyath 5 ……. So here is the Roman transliteration of the Sanskrit in the Bhavishya Purana, however accurate it may be (Prati Sarga: Part III, 3.3.5-27).
#Veda songs of praise sama veda full#
But if we look at the full translation of this story, they may not want to jump to the conclusion that this story represents Prophet Mohammed. However, on the other hand, it would seem odd that Muslims would accept a Vedic text to try to convince Hindus to become Muslims.
Some Muslims then suggest that if he was predicted in this way by a Vedic text, then Hindus should all accept Mohammed and become Muslims. Some people suggest this person to be Prophet Mohammed, and are, thus, most willing to accept that Prophet Mohammed was predicted in the Bhavishya Purana. It is explained in the Bhavishya Purana (Parva 3, Khand 3, Adhya 3, verses 5-6) that “An illiterate mleccha teacher will appear, Mahamada is his name, and he will give religion to his fifth-class companions.” This does not describe much in regard to his life, but it does mention someone by the name of Mahamada, and what he was expected to do, which was to give his own form of religion to the lower classes of his region. But before we come to that conclusion, with additional research, let us take a closer look to see what the full reference to Mahamada really says. The Bhavishya Purana has a reference regarding someone named Mahamada, which some people are very eager to make the claim that it means Prophet Mohammed, thus saying that the Prophet is predicted in the Vedic literature.
