ZAKEER PURANA OR BHAVISHYA PURANA


Mohamed in Bhavishya Purana: a Bird’s Eye View

In Bhavishya purana Mahamada appears in Parva 3, Khand 3, Adhya 3, verses 7 TO 27

Mr.Zakeer Naik is of the strong opinion that the Mahamada referred in the Bhavishya Purana text is none other than Mohamed, the prophet of Muslims.
Here is the episode of Muhamada (Mohammed) in brief.

Bhojraja was a king who ruled the Kingdom in north of Bharath after Shalivahana, the grandson of Vikramaditya.
During his reign King Bhojraj went to the lands near and far in every direction in order to conquer the wicked race. Thus he added Kashmir, Afghanistan Turkistan and some other nations to his authority.

Verse 7-8 relates that King Bhojraja met a MLECHA religious leader Mahamadha (Zakeer says it is Mohamed, the prophet of Muslims) in the marusthal (desert region) after crossing the region of Sindhu.
After this meeting the King Bhojraja went to worship Lord Shiva.
 Performing the Banished to the statue of lord Shiva, King Bhojraja prayed to Lord Shiva thus: O lord!, who resides in the desert, You destroyed the wicked Demon by Name TRIPURA,but the wicked MLECHAS have become your worshippers.

Verse 10-27
To the prayer of King Bhojraja, Lord Shiva replied thus: This land (Arabia, according to Zakeer Naik) where you stand is polluted by the MLECHAS.There is no Dharma (righteousness) in this desert. The wicked demon whom I burnt into ashes rose again as Mahamada (Mohamed, according to Zakeer Naik). However, Mahamad obtained my benediction (may be by penance??). Do not go to that region, because Mahamada’s deeds are like of the ghost.
Mahamada was the incarnation of the demon, Tripura.
Bhoja raj left the region immediately and proceeded to his Kingdom.

Mahamada followed him up to the province of Sindhu.
Mahamada was an expert in creating illusions (Magic). Mahamada said to Bhojaraj, “Oh King, I have enslaved Lord Siva and you could witness it now.”
Bhojaraja saw Lord Shiva eating Mahamada’s leftover food. Later in the night Mahamada appeared in the form of a ghost and said to Bhojaraj,
“O King Bhojaraj, your religion is the best of all the religions, yet by the order of the Lord, I am going to establish a terrible and demoniac religion and enforce a strong creed over the meat-eaters.
 My followers will be known by their circumcised genitals, they will grow beard, make noise loudly, and eat all kinds of animals except swine without observing any rituals. They will perform purificatory acts with the musala, and thus be called musalman.
Thus, I will be the originator of this adharmic and demoniac religion of the meat-eating nations."
At the end of this episode, we see King Bhojaraj march back to his Kingdom and Mahamod went to his land.
Later King Bhoja raj established Sanskrit as a language in India.
