Mahāmada (Sanskrit): महामद, also spelt as Mahamad, Mohammad, Muhammed is the God of The World, according to Vedas.
The Bhavishya Purana, Samaveda, Rigveda and Atharvaveda describe Mahamad as the God of The World. In the Vedas it records in the Fifth century BCE verses are quoted that the Kalki Avatar will be born with the name of Mahamad who will belong to Arabia, the pride of mankind (Parbatis nath) will bring justice to the enemy who have spoiled the well-known land of the Arabs. To show these enemies the right path and to give them guidance. The well-known Mahamad (Mohammad) who will be given by Brahma. The Kalki Avatar will be the last and maha avatar of Lord Vishnu, the machine-man, who will come riding his horse and sword in his hands. The Kalki Avatar will also bring justice and lead the Pishachas to the right path and then he will be purified through kindness wherever he is. The Maharishi Vyas says all human beings must follow the right path of Vedas to do worship of Almighty God to get final liberation
Kalki Avatar and Buddhism
see also Kalki Avtar, Kalki Purana and Kali Yuga
Kalki Avatar refers to Dashavatara's of Vishnu (Incarnates of Vishnu) thus, Lord Buddha was also an Dashaavatar of Vishnu and even deities from Shambhala as well.
In Kalki Avatar, Lord Vishnu will incarnate himself as Kalki, the machine-man, who will be riding his horse and sword in his hands. He will be named as Mahamad, who will belong to Arabia. Mahamad will be the last Avatar of Lord Vishnu. At the end of Kali Yuga he will punish all evil doers in this world, destroy this world and recreate a golden age again.
- The veda claimed that the Kalki Avatar would be born on the 12th of a month. Whereas the Prophet Muhammad was born on the 12th of the Rabiul Awwal (Islamic Calendar).
- In Purana it stated that Kalki Avatar would be the last messenger (prophet) of God in this world for the Guidance of the whole world and all human beings.
- According to a Hindu religion prediction, the birth of Kalki Avatar, would be take place in an Arab territory.
- The father's name of 'Kalki Avatar' is mentioned as 'Vishnu Bhagat' and his mother's name as 'Somanib'. In sanskrit, 'Vishnu' stands for God and the literal meaning of 'Bhagat' is slave. Vishnu Bhagat in the Arabic language will mean Allah's slave (Abdullah). 'Somanib' in Sanskrit means peace and tranquilty which in arabic is denoted by the word 'Amina'. Whereas the last Messenger Muhammed's father and mother's names were Abdullah and Amina respectively.
- It mentioned that the staple food of Kalki Avatar would be dates and olives and he would be the most honest and truthful person in the region. Without any doubt the Prophet Muhammad is acclaimed to possess these qualities.
- It is stated in Vedas that the birth of Kalki Avatar would take place in an honorable clan. This fits the Quraysh where the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.S) belonged to.
- God would teach Kalki Avatar through His messenger (angel) in a cave. Allah taught Prophet Muhammad through messenger Jibraeel (Gabreal) in a cave known as Gaar-e-Hiraa.
- God would avail Kalki Avatar with a horse to ride and travel the whole world and the seven skies. Indication of Buraaque (horse) and Me'raaj (the night when prophet traveled the seven skies).
- God would also avail Kalki Avatar with divine help. This was proved in the Battle of Uhud.
- Kalki Avatar would be an excellent horse rider and a swordsman
Rigveda
A similar prophecy is also found in Rigveda Book I, Hymn 53 verse 9
The Sanskrit word used is Sushrama, which means praiseworthy or well praised which in Arabic means Muhammad.
Samaveda
Prophet Muhammad is also prophesised in the Samveda Book II Hymn 6 verse 8:
"Ahmed acquired from his Lord the knowledge of eternal law. I received light from him just as from the sun." The Prophecy confirms:
- The name of the Prophet as Ahmed since Ahmed is an Arabic name. Many translators misunderstood it to be Ahm at hi and translated the mantra as "I alone have acquired the real wisdom of my father".
- Prophet was given eternal law, i.e. the Shariah.
- The Rishi was enlightened by the Shariah of Prophet Muhammad. The Qur’an says in Surah Saba chapter 34 verse 28
"We have not sent thee but as a universal (Messenger), giving them glad tidings and warning them (against sin), but most understand not."
