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.

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."

"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."

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

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 &

*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

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

references Prophet Muhammad traveled the seven skies and there he met

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.
