Abul-Laits meriwayatkan dengan sanadnya dari Abu Hurairah r.a. berkata: "Ya Rasullullah, dari apakah dibuat syurga itu?" Jawab Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.: "Dari air." Kami bertanya: "Beritakan tentang bangunan syurga." Jawab Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.: "Satu bata dari emas dan satu bata dari perak, dan lantainya kasturi yang semerbak harum, tanahnya dari za'faran, kerikilnya mutiara dan yakut, siapa yang masuk dalamnya senang tidak susah, kekal tidak mati, tidak lapuk pakaiannya, tidak berubah mukanya."
Kemudian Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. bersabda: "Tiga macam doa yang tidak akan tertolak: Imam (pemimpin, hakim) yang adil, dan orang puasa ketika berbuka dan orang yang teraniaya, maka doanya terangkat diatas awan, dilihat oleh Tuhan lalu berfirman: "Demi kemuliaan dan kesabaranKu, Aku akan bela padamu walau hanya menanti masanya."
Abul-Laits meriwayatkan dengan sanadnya dari Abu Hurairah r.a. berkata: Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. bersabda: " Sesungguhnya didalam syurga ada pohon besar sehingga seorang yang berkenderaan dapat berjalan dibawah naungannya selama seratus tahun tidak putus naungannya, bacalah: Wa dhillin mamdud (Yang bermaksud) Dan naungan yang memanjang terus. Dan didalam syurga kesenangannya yang tidak pernah dilihat mata atau didengar oleh telinga, bahkan tidak pernah terlintas dalam hati (perasaan) manusia. Bacalah kamu: Fala ta'lamu nafsun maa ukh fia lahum min qurrati a'yunin jazza'an bima kanu ya'malun (Yang bermaksud) Maka tidak seorang pun yang mengetahui apa yang tersembunyi bagi mereka dari kesenangan yang memuaskan hari sebagai pembalasan apa yang telah mereka lakukan. Dan temapt pecut didalam syurga lebih baik dari dunia siisinya. Bacalah ayat: Faman zuhziha aninnari wa udkhillal jannata faqad faza (Yang bermaksud) Maka siapa dijauhkan dari api dan dimasukkan dalam syurga bererti telah untung."
Ibn Abbas r.a. berkata: "Sesungguhnya didalam syurga ada bidadari yang dijadikan dari empat macam iaitu misik, ambar, kafur dan za'faran, sedang tanahnya dicampur dengan air hidup (hayawan), dan setelah dijadikan maka semua bidadari asyik kepadanya, andaikan ia berludah dalam laut tentu menjdai tawar airnya, tercantum dilehernya: Siapa yang ingin mendapat isteri seperti aku, maka hendaklah taat kepada Tuhanku."
Mujahid berkata: "Bumi syurga dari perak, dan tanahnya dari misik, dan urat-urat pohonnya dari perak, sedang dahannya dari mutiara dan zabarjad, sedang daun dan buahnya dibawah itu, maka siapa yang makan sambil berdiri tidak sukar, dengan duduk juga tidak sukar, dan sambil berbaring juga tidak sukar, kemudian membaca ayat: Wa dzulillat quthufuha tadzlila. (Yang bermaksud) Dan dimudahkan buah-buahnya sehingga semudah-mudahnya. Sehingga dapat dicapai oleh orang yang berdiri maupun yang duduk dan berbaring.
Abu hurairah r.a. berkata: "Demi Allah yang menurunkan kitab pada Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. Sesungguhnya ahli syurga tiap saat bertambah elok cantiknya, sebagaimana dahulu didunia bertambah tua."
Abul-Laits meriwayatkan dengan sanadnya dari Shuhaib r.a. berkata: "Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. bersabda yang bermaksud: "Apabila ahli syurga telah masuk kesyurga dan ahli neraka telah masuk keneraka, maka ada seruan: Hai ahli syurga, Allah akan menepati janji-Nya kepada kamu. Mereka berkata: "Apakah itu, tidakkah telah memberatkan timbangan amal kami dan memutihkan wajah kami dan memesukkan kami kedalam syurga dan menghindarkan kami dari neraka. Maka Allah membukakan bagi mereka hijab sehingga mereka dapat melihatNya, demi Allah yang jiwaku ada ditanganNya belum pernah mereka diberi sesuatu yang lebih senang daripada melihat zat Allah."
Anas bin Malik r.a. berkata: "Jibril datang kepada Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. membawa cermin putih yang ditengahnya ada titik hitam, maka Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. bertanya kepada Jibril: "Apakah cermin yang putih ini?" Jawabnya: "Ini hari Jumaat dan titik hitam ini saat mustajab yang ada dihari Jumaat, telah dikurniakan untuk mu dan untuk ummat mu, sehingga ummat-ummat yang sebelumnya berada dibelakangmu, iaitu Yahudi dan Nashara (kristian) dan saat dihari Jumaat, jika seorang mukmin bertepatan berdoa untuk kebaikan pada saat itu pasti ia akan diterima oleh Allah, atau berlindung kepada Allah dari suatu bahaya, pasti akan dihindarkannya, dan hari Jumaat dikalangan kami (Malaikat) dinamakan Yaumal Mazid (hari tambahan)."
Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. bertanya lagi: "Apakah Yaumal Mazid itu?" Jawab Jibril: "Tuhan telah membuat lembah disyurga Jannatul Firdaus, disana ada anak bukitdari misik kasturi dan pada tiap-tiap hari Jumaat disana disediakan mimbar-minbar dari nur (cahaya) yang diduduki oleh para Nabi, dan ada mimbar-mimbar dari emas bertaburan permata yaqut dan zabarjada diduduki para siddiqin, suhada dan solihin, sedang orang-orang ahli ghurof (yang dibilik syurga) berada dibelakang mereka diatas bukit kecil itu berkumpul menghadap kepada Tuhan untuk memuja muji kepada Allah, lalu Allah berfirman: "Mintalah kepadaKu." Maka semua minta (Kami mohon keridhaanMu) Jawab Allah:"Aku telah redho kepadamu, keridhoan sehingga kamu Aku tempatkan dirumahKu dan Aku muliakan kamu." Kemudian Allah menampakkan kepada mereka sehingga mereka dapat melihat zatNya, maka tidak ada hari yang mereka suka sebagaimana hari Jumaat kerana mereka merasa bertambahnya kemuliaan dan kehormatan mereka.
Dalam lain riwayat: Allah menyuruh kepada Malaikat: "Berikan makan kepada para waliKu.", maka dihidangkan berbagai makanan maka terasa pada tiap suap rasa yang lain dari semuanya, bahkan lebih lazat sehingga bila selesai makan, diperintahkan oleh Allah: "Berikan minum kepada hamba-hambaKu." maka diberi minum yang dapat dirasakan kelazatannya pada tiap teguk dan ketika telah selesai maka Tuhan berfirman: "Akulah Tuhanmu telah menepati apa yang Aku janjikan kepadamu dan kini kamu boleh minta, nescaya Aku berikan permintaanmu." Jawab mereka: "Kami minta ridhoMu. kami minta ridhoMu." dua tiga kali. Dijawab oleh Allah: "Aku ridho kepadamu bahkan masih ada tambahan lagi daripadaKu, pada hari ini Aku muliakan kamu dengan penghormatan yang terbesar dari semua yang telah kamu terima." Maka dibukakan hijab sehingga mereka dapat melihat dzat Allah yang Maha Mulia sekehendak Allah, maka segera mereka bersujud kepada Allah sekehendak Allah sehingga Allah menyuruh mereka: "Angkatlah kepalamu sebab kini bukan masa beribadat." Maka disitu mereka lupa pada nikmat-nikmat yang sebelumnya dan terasa benar bahawa tidak ada nikmat lebih besar daripada melihat dzat Allah yang Maha Mulia. Kemudian mereka kembali maka semerbak bau harum dari bawah Arsy dari bukit kasturi yang putih dan ditaburkan diatas kepala mereka, diatas ubun-ubun kuda mereka, maka apabila mereka kembali kepada isteri-isterinya terlihat bertambah indah lebih dari semula ketika mereka meninggalkan mereka sehingga isteri-isteri mereka berkata: "Kamu kini lebih elok dari yang biasa."
Abul-Laits berkata: "Terbuka hijab, bererti hijab yang menutupi mereka untuk melihat-Nya. Dan erti melihat kepadaNya iaitu melihat kebesaran yang belum pernah terlihat sebelumnya tetapi kebanyakkan ahli ilmu mengerikan: Melihat dzat Allah tanpa perumpamaan."
Ikrimah berkata: "Ketangkasan ahli syurga bagaikan orang berumur 33 tahun lelaki dan perempuan sama-sa,a, sedang tingginya enam puluh hasta, setinggi nabi Adam a.s. muda-muda yang mesih bersih halus tidak berjanggut, bola matanya, memakaitujuh puluh macam perhiasan, yang berubah warnanya tiap-tiap jam, tujuh puluh macam warna, maka dapat melihat mukanya dimuka isterinya, demikian pula didadanya, dibetisnya, demikian pula isterinya dapat melihat wajahnya diwajah suaminya, didada dan dibetisnya, mereka tidak berludah dan tidak beringus, lebih-lebih yang lebih kotor, maka lebih jauh."
Dalam lain riwayat: "Andaikan seorang wanita syurga menunjukkan tapak tangannya dari langit nescaya akan menerangi antara langit dan bumi."
Abul-Laits meriwayatkan dengan sanadnya Zaid bin Arqam r.a. berkata: "Seorang ahlil kitab datang kepada Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. dan bertanya: "Ya Abal-Qasim, apakah kau nyatakan bahawa orang syurga itu makan dan minum?" Jawab Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.: "Ya, demi Allah yang jiwa Muhammad ada ditanganNya, seorang ahli syurga diberi kekuatan seratus orang dalam makan, minum dan jima (bersetubuh)." Dia berkata: "Sedang orang yang makan, minum ia lazimnya berhajat, sedang syurga itu bersih tidak ada kekotoran? Jawab Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. : "Hajat seseorang itu berupa peluh yang berbau harum bagaikan kasturi."
Abul-Laits meriwayatkan dengan sanadnya dari Mu'tah bin Sumai mengenai firman Allah s.w.t.: "Thuba lahum wa husnu ma ab."
Thuba ialah pohon pokok disyurga yang dahannya dapat menaungi tiap rumah disyurga, didalamnya berbagai macam buah dan dihinggapi burung-burung besar sehingga bila seorang ingin burung dapat memanggilnya dan segera jatuh diatas meja makannya, dan dapat makan sayap yang sebelah berupa dinding dan yang lain berupa panggangan, kemudian bila telah selesai ia terbang kembali."
Dari Al'amasy dari Abu Salih dari Abu Hurairah r.a. berkata: Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. yang bermaksud: "Rombongan pertama akan masuk syurga dari ummatku bagaikan bulan purnama, kemudian yang berikutnya bagaikan bintang yang amat terang dilangit, kemudian sesudah itu menurut tingkatnya masing-masing, mereka tidak kencing dan buang air, tidak berludah dan tidak ingus, sisir rambut mereka dari emas dan ukup-ukup mereka dari kayu gahru yang harum dan peluh mereka kasturi dan bentuk mereka seperti seorang yang tingginya bagaikan Adam a.s. enam puluh hasta."
Ibn Abbas r.a. berkata: "Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. bersabda: "Sesungguhnya ahli syurga itu muda semua, polos, halus, tidak ada rambut kecuali dikepala, alis dan idep (dikelopak mata), sedang janggut, kumis, ketiak dan kemaluan polos tidak ada rambut, tinggi mereka setinggi Nabi Adam a.s. enam puluh hasta, usianya bagaikan Nabi Isa a.s 33 tahun, putih rupanya, hijau pakaiannya, dihidangkan kepada mereka hidangan, maka datang burung dan berkata: "Hai waliyullah, saya telah minum dari sumber salsabil dan makan dari kebun syurga dan buah-buahan, rasanya sebelah badanku masakan dan yang sebelahnya gorengan, maka dimakan oleh orang itu sekuatnya."
Dan tiap orang wali mendapat tujuh puluh perhiasan, tiap perhiasan berbeza warna dengan yang lain, sedang jari-jarinya ada sepuluh cincin, terukir pada yang pertama: Salam alaikum bima shobartum, dan yang kedua: Ud khuluha bisalamin aminin, yang ketiga : Tilkal janatullati urits tumu ha bima kuntum ta'malun, yang keempat: Rufi'at ankumul ahzana wal humum, yang kelima: Albasakum alhuli wal hulal, yang keenam Zawwa jakum ul hurul iin, yang ketujuh: Walakum fihamatasy tahihil anfusu wa taladzzul a'yun wa antum fiha khalidun, yang kelapan: Rafaq tumunnabiyina wassiddiqin, yang kesembilan: Shirtum syababa laa tahromun dan yang kesepuluh: Sakantum fi jiwari man laa yu'dzil jiran."
Ertinya:
Salam alaikum bima shobartum Selamat sejahtera kamu kerana kesabaran kamu
Ud khuluha bisalamin aminin Masuklah kesyurga dengan selamat dan aman
Tilkal janatullati urits tumu ha bima kuntum ta'malun Itulah syurga yang diwariskan kepadamu kerana amal perbuatanmu
Rufi'at ankumul ahzana wal humum Telah dihindarkan dari kamu semua risau dan dukacita
Albasakum alhuli wal hulal Kami berimu pakaian dan perhiasan
Zawwa jakum ul hurul iin Kami kahwinkan kamu dengan bidadari
Walakum fihamatasy tahihil anfusu wa taladzzul a'yun wa antum fiha khalidun Untuk mu dalam syurga segala keinginan dan menyenangkan pandangan matamu.
Rafaq tumunnabiyina wassiddiqin Kamu telah berkumpul dengan para Nabi dan Siddiqin
hirtum syababa laa tahromun Kamu menjadi muda dan tidak tua selamanya
Sakantum fi jiwari man laa yu'dzil jiran Kamu tinggal dengan tetangga yang tidak mengganggu tetangganya.
Abul-Laits berkata: "Siapa yang ingin mendapat kehormatan itu hendaklah menepati lima perkara ini iaitu:
Menahan dari maksiat kerana firman Allah s.w.t.: "Wa nahannafsa anil hawa fainnal jannat hiyal ma'wa yang bermaksud "Dan menahan nasfu dari maksiat maka syurga tempatnya."
Rela dengan pemberian yang sederhana sebab tersebut dalam hadis: "Harga syurga itu ialah tidak rakus pada dunia."
Rajin pada tiap taat dan semua amal kebaikan sebab kemungkinan amal itu yang menyebabkan pengampunan dan masuk syurga seperti firman Allah s.w.t. : "Itu syurga yang diwariskan kepadamu kerana amal perbuatanmu."
Cinta pada orang-orang yang soleh dan bergaul dengan mereka sebab mereka diharapkan syafa'atnya sebagaimana dalam hadis: "Perbanyaklah kawan kerana tiap kawan itu ada syafa'atnya pada hari kiamat."
Memperbanyakkan doa dan minta masuk syurga dan husnul khotimah.
Sebagaimana ahli hikmah berkata: "Condong kepada dunia setelah mengetahui pahala bererti satu kebodohan dan tidak bersungguh-sungguh beramal setelah mengetahui besarnya pahala bererti lemah malas dan di syurga ada masa istirehat tidak dapat dirasakan kecuali oleh orang yang tidak pernah istirehat didunia dan ada kepuasan yang tidak dapat dirasakan kecuali oleh orang yang meninggalkan berlebihan didunia, dan cukup dengan kesederhanaan yang ada didunia.
Ada seorang zahid makan sayur dan garam, lalu ditegur oleh orang: "Kamu cukup dengan itu tanpa roti?" Jawabnya: Saya jadikan makanan ini untuk syurga sedang kau jadikan untuk w.c, kau makan segala yang lazat dan akhirnya ke w.c, sedang saya makan sekadar untuk menguatkan taat, semoga saya sampai kesyurga."
Ibrahim bin Adham ketika masuk ketempat permandian dilarang oleh penjaganya: "Jangan masuk kecuali jika membayar wangnya." Maka ia menangis dan berdoa: "Ya Allah, seorang untuk masuk kerumah syaitan tidak diizinkan tanpa wang, maka bagaimana saya akan masuk ketempat para Nabi dan Siddiqin tanpa upah?"
Tersebut dalam wahya yang diturunkan pada sebahagian para Nabi itu: "hai Anak Adam, kau membeli neraka dengan harga mahal dan tidak mau membeli syurga dengan harga murah." Ertinya: Adakalanya pengeluaran untuk maksiat itu banyak dan ringan, tetapi untuk sedekah kebaikan sedikit dan berat."
Abu Hazim berkata: "Andaikata syurga itu tidak dapat dicapai kecuali dengan meninggalkan kesukaannya didunia, nescaya itu ringan dan sedikit untuk mendapat syurga, dan andaikan neraka itu tidak dapat dihindari kecuali dengan menanggung semua kesukaran-kesukaran dunia, niscaya itu ringan dan sedikit disamping keselamatan dineraka. Padahal kamu dapat masuk dan selamat dari neraka dengan sabar menderita satu peratus dari kesukaran."
Yahya bin Mu'adz Arrazi berkata: "Meninggalkan dunia berat tetapi meninggalkan syurga lebih berat, sedang maharnya syurga ialah meninggalkan dunia."
Anas bin Malik r.a berkata: "Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. bersabda: "Siapa yang minta kepada Allah syurga sampai tiga kali, maka syurga berdoa: "Ya Allah, masukkan ia kesyurga" dan siapa berlindung kepada Allah dari neraka tiga kali maka neraka berdoa: "Ya Allah, hindarkan ia dari neraka."
Semoga Allah s.w.t. menghindarkan kami dari neraka dan memasukkan kami kedalam syurga. Dan andaikan didalam syurga itu tidak ada apa-apa kecuali bertemu dengan kawan-kawan nescaya itu sudah enak dan baik, maka bagaimana padahal disyurga itu segala kehormatan dan kepuasan itu semua ada.
Anas bin Malik r.a. berkata: "Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. bersabda: "Didalam syurga ada pasar tetapi tidak ada jual beli, hanya orang-orang berkumpul membicarakan keadaan ketika didunia, dan cara beribadat, bagaimana keadaan antara si fakir dengan si kaya, dan bagaimana keadaan sesudah mati dan lama binasa dalam kubur sehingga sampai kesyurga."
Abul-laits meriwayatkan dengan sanadnya dari Abdullah bin Mas'ud r.a. berkata: "Manusia semua akan berdiri didekat neraka, kemudian mereka menyeberang diatas sirat (jambatan) diatas neraka, masing-masing menurut amal perbuatannya, ada yang menyeberang bagaikan kilat, ada yang bagaikan angin kencang, ada yang bagaikan kuda yang cepat larinya, dan seperti lari orang, dan ada yang bagaikan terbang burung, dan ada yang seperti unta yang cepat dan yang akhir berjalan diatas kedua ibu jari kakinya, kemudian tersungkur dalam neraka dan sirat itu licin, halus, tipis, tajam semacam pedang, berduri sedang dikanan kirinya Malaikat yang membawa bantolan untuk membantol (menyeret) orang-orang, maka ada yang selamat, ada yang luka-luka tetapi masih selamat dan ada yang langsung tersungkur kedalam api neraka, sedang para Malaikat itu sama-sama berdoa: "Robbi sallim saliim" (Ya Tuhan, selamatkan, selamatkan) dan ada orang yang berjalan sebagai orang yang terakhir masuk kesyurga, maka ia selamat dari sirat, terbuka baginya pintu syurga dan merasa tidak ada tempat baginya disyurga, sehingga dia berdoa: "Ya Tuhan, tempat saya disini." Jawab Tuhan: "Kemungkinan jika Aku beri kamu tempat ini lalu minta yang lainnya." Jawabnya: "Tidak, demi kemuliaanMu." Maka ditempatkan disitu, kemudian diperlihatkan kepadanya tempat yang lebih baik, sehingga dia merasakan kerendahan tempat yang diberikan kepadanya, lalu ia berkata: "Ya Tuhan, tempatkan lah aku disitu." Dijawab oleh Tuhan: "Kemungkinan jika Aku beri kamu tempat ini lalu minta yang lainnya." Jawabnya: "Tidak, demi kemuliaanMu." kemudian diperlihatkan kepadanya syurga yang lebih baik, sehingga ia merasa bahawa tempatnya masih rendah, tetapi ia diam tidak berani minta beberapa lama sehingga ditanya: "Apakah kau tidak minta?" Jawabnya: "Saya sudah minta sehingga merasa malu." Maka firman Allah s.w.t.: "Untukmu sebesar dunia sepuluh kali, maka inilah yang terendah tempat disyurga."
Abdullah bin Mas'ud berkata: "Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. jika menceritakan ini maka tertawa sehingga terlihat gigi gerahamnya."
Dalam hadis: "Diantara wanita-wanita didunia ini ada yang kecantikannya melebihi dari bidadari kerana amal perbuatannya ketika didunia."
Firman Allah s.w.t.: "Inna ansya'nahunna insya'a, fija'alnahunna abkara uruban atraba li ash habil yamin." yang bermaksud: "Kami cipta mereka baru dan Kami jadikan mereka tetap gadis yang sangat kasih dan cinta, juga tetap sebaya umurnya, untuk orang-orang ahlil yamin."

Nafkah
NAFKAH adalah perkara asas dalam sebuah keluarga yang membawa kepada kesejahteraan, kecemerlangan dan keutuhan institusi berkeluarga. Tanpanya, ia mengakibatkan kehidupan rumah tangga terumbang-ambing.
Isu nafkah, walaupun tidak diberikan perhatian oleh sesetengah pihak, sama ada menganggapnya perkara remeh atau sengaja ingin lari daripada tanggungjawab, sebenarnya satu topik asasi dalam kehidupan.
“Hendaklah orang yang mampu, memberi nafkah menurut kemampuannya; dan sesiapa yang disempitkan rezekinya, hendaklah ia menafkahkan dari apa yang diberikan Allah kepadanya; Allah tidak memberati seseorang melainkan sekadar yang diberikan Allah kepadanya. Allah akan memberikan kesenangan sesudah berlakunya kesusahan.” (At-Talaaq:7)
Persoalan nafkah diterangkan di dalam al-Quran seperti dalam petikan ayat berkenaan, tetapi bagi sesetengah masyarakat disebabkan tiada fokus pada isu terbabit menyebabkan mereka gagal memahami maksud dan konsep nafkah.
Nafkah itu apa dan siapa yang sepatutnya memberi serta menerima nafkah? Bagaimana kedudukannya jika tidak diberikan nafkah, bolehkah diambil tindakan dan apakah tindakan permulaan?
Pensyarah Kanan, Pusat Pemikiran dan Pemahaman Islam (CITU), Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), Norhidayah Mohd Hashim, berkata perkara ini memang jelas disebut khusus di dalam al-Quran, malah Rasulullah s.a.w juga ada menyatakannya.
Menurutnya, ruang lingkup nafkah sangat besar, bukan terbatas pada wang ringgit saja, malah merangkumi semua keperluan, termasuk makanan, pakaian, tempat tinggal dan kesihatan.
“Mengikut pendapat ahli fiqah, seperti Ibnu Qudamah, nafkah ialah sesuatu yang dibelanjakan oleh suami untuk melengkapkan apa saja keperluan isteri, termasuk dalam aspek makan, minum dan pakaian.
“Imam Nawawi mengatakan, makanan dan pakaian itu mengikut musim, termasuk tempat tinggal seperti rumah, tempat duduk seperti sofa dan jika perlu selimut, selimut itu nafkah.
“Demikian juga, jika isteri perlu syampu, syampu itu juga perlu disediakan dan itulah nafkah,” katanya sambil menegaskan, seorang suami wajib memberikan nafkah dalam apa saja keadaan kepada isterinya.
Beliau berkata, sekiranya seorang lelaki berkahwin dengan wanita berada yang tidak biasa melakukan kerja rumah, mencari dan mendapatkan orang gaji itu juga termasuk nafkah.
“Isteri yang bergaji besar juga perlu diberikan nafkah, kecuali isterinya mengatakan tidak mengapa sekiranya tidak diberikan padanya,” katanya.
Nurhidayah berkata, begitupun seorang suami wajib memberikan nafkah sekadar termampu.
“Walaupun anak Datuk, Tan Sri tetapi sekiranya suami tidak mampu menyediakan yang lebih selesa, seperti menyediakan orang gaji, si isteri kena reda.
“Nafkah diberi secara berpada, misalnya mengikut keperluan dan situasi. Jika wang ringgit mahu dinilaikan jumlahnya, ia boleh dinilai mengikut keadaan semasa dan lokasi tempat tinggal.
“Tetapi bagi isteri nusyuz (iaitu melakukan perkara yang dianggap menderhaka pada suami), mereka tidak layak menerima nafkah,” katanya.
Hakim Mahkamah Syariah Wilayah Persekutuan, Dr Mohd Naim Mokhtar, berkata jika tidak mengetahui nafkah itu tanggungjawab siapa, masyarakat akan menjadi kelam-kabut.
“Mengikut peruntukan undang-undang, tanggungjawab nafkah terletak pada suami dan isteri berhak menuntutnya di mahkamah jika suami tidak memberikan nafkah kepadanya.
“Nafkah isteri bermula daripada akad nikah. Dalam konteks nafkah kita perlu pada isteri dan ibu-ibu bertindak. Allah sudah mengatakan atas diri kita ada hak.
“Jika suami masih abai tanggungjawab, isteri kena ubah, tegur dan bertindak untuk mendapatkan keadilan,” katanya sambil memberikan ingatan kepada masyarakat: “Banyak rumah tangga terkorban kerana nafkah.”
Kes berkaitan nafkah antara kes utama difailkan di Mahkamah Syariah, sama ada berkaitan nafkah ke atas isteri atau anak-anak.
“Nafkah suatu kewajipan secara umum berkaitan fizikal, jika tidak diberi berlaku kezaliman dan tiada keadilan.
“Satu lagi mengenai nafkah adalah berbentuk spiritual. Sebenarnya undang-undang saja tidak boleh menyelesaikan masalah manusia. Ini kerana dalam undang-undang tidak menyebut mengenai kasih sayang.
“Kita lihat hari ini, walaupun anak isteri diberikan banyak wang, diberikan kad kredit, mereka masih ke mahkamah (kerana berasa terabai).
“Ada kebelakangan ini persoalan kasih sayang yang berkaitan nafkah dan yang ini perlu kepada pindaan,” katanya.

Apakah itu al-Quran.
"Quran" menurut pendapat yang paling kuat seperti yang dikemukakan Dr. Subhi Al Salih bererti "bacaan", asal kata qara'a. Kata Al Qur'an itu berbentuk masdar dengan arti isim maf'ul yaitu maqru' (dibaca). Di dalam Al Qur'an sendiri ada pemakaian kata "Qur'an" dalam arti demikian sebagal tersebut dalam ayat 17, 18 surah (75) Al Qiyaamah:
Ertinya: "Sesungguhnya mengumpulkan Al Qur'an (didalam dadamu) dan (menetapkan) bacaannya (pada lidahmu) itu adalah tanggunggan kami. kerana itu jika kami telah membacakannya, hendaklah kamu ikut bacaannya".
Kemudian dipakai kata "Qur'an" itu untuk Al Quran yang dikenal sekarang ini.
Adapun definisi Al Qur'an ialah: "Kalam Allah s.w.t. yang merupakan mukjizat yang diturunkan (diwahyukan) kepada Nabi Muhammad dan yang ditulis di mushaf dan diriwayatkan dengan mutawatir serta membacanya adalah ibadah"
Dengan definisi ini, kalam Allah yang diturunkan kepada nabi-nabi selain Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. tidak dinamakan Al Qur'an seperti Taurat yang diturunkan kepada Nabi Musa a.s. atau Injil yang diturun kepada Nabi Isa a.s. Dengan demikian pula Kalam Allah yang diturunkan kepada Nabi Muhammad s.a.w yang membacanya tidak dianggap sebagai ibadah, seperti Hadis Qudsi, tidak pula dinamakan Al Qur'an.
Bagaimanakah al-Quran itu diwahyukan
Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. dalam hal menerima wahyu mengalami bermacam-macam cara dan keadaan. di antaranya:
1. Malaikat memasukkan wahyu itu ke dalam hatinya. Dalam hal ini Nabi s.a.w. tidak melihat sesuatu apapun, hanya beliau merasa bahwa itu sudah berada saja dalam kalbunya. Mengenai hal ini Nabi mengatakan: "Ruhul qudus mewahyukan ke dalam kalbuku", (lihat surah (42) Asy Syuura ayat (51).
2. Malaikat menampakkan dirinya kepada Nabi berupa seorang laki-laki yang mengucapkan kata-kata kepadanya sehingga beliau mengetahui dan hafal benar akan kata-kata itu.
3. Wahyu datang kepadanya seperti gemerincingnya loceng. Cara inilah yang amat berat dirasakan oleh Nabi. Kadang-kadang pada keningnya berpancaran keringat, meskipun turunnya wahyu itu di musim dingin yang sangat. Kadang-kadang unta beliau terpaksa berhenti dan duduk karena merasa amat berat, bila wahyu itu turun ketika beliau sedang mengendarai unta. Diriwayatkan oleh Zaid bin Tsabit: "Aku adalah penulis wahyu yang diturunkan kepada Rasulullah. Aku lihat Rasulullah ketika turunnya wahyu itu seakan-akan diserang oleh demam yang keras dan keringatnya bercucuran seperti permata. Kemudian setelah selesai turunnya wahyu, barulah beliau kembali seperti biasa".
4. Malaikat menampakkan dirinya kepada Nabi, tidak berupa seorang laki-laki seperti keadaan no. 2, tetapi benar-benar seperti rupanya yang asli. Hal ini tersebut dalam Al Qur'an surah (53) An Najm ayat 13 dan 14.
Ertinya: "Sesungguhnya Muhammad telah melihatnya pada kali yang lain (kedua). Ketika ia berada di Sidratulmuntaha."
Hikmah diturunkan al-Quran secara beransur-ansur
Al Qur'an diturunkan secara beransur-ansur dalam masa 22 tahun 2 bulan 22 hari atau 23 tahun, 13 tahun di Mekkah dan 10 tahun di Madinah. Hikmah Al Qur'an diturunkan secara beransur-ansur itu ialah:
1. Agar lebih mudah difahami dan dilaksanakan. Orang tidak akan melaksanakan suruhan, dan larangan sekiranya suruhan dan larangan itu diturunkan sekaligus banyak. Hal ini disebutkan oleh Bukhari dan riwayat 'Aisyah r.a.
2. Di antara ayat-ayat itu ada yang nasikh dan ada yang mansukh, sesuai dengan permasalahan pada waktu itu. Ini tidak dapat dilakukan sekiranya Al Qur'an diturunkan sekaligus. (ini menurut pendapat yang mengatakan adanya nasikh dan mansukh).
3. Turunnya sesuatu ayat sesuai dengan peristiwa-peristiwa yang terjadi akan lebih mengesankan dan lebih berpengaruh di hati.
4. Memudahkan penghafalan. Orang-orang musyrik yang telah menayakan mengapa Al Qur'an tidak diturunkan sekaligus. sebagaimana tersebut dalam Al Qur'an ayat (25) Al Furqaan ayat 32, yaitu:
mengapakah Al Qur'an tidak diturunkan kepadanya sekaligus
Kemudian dijawab di dalam ayat itu sendiri: demikianlah, dengan (cara) begitu Kami hendak menetapkan hatimu
5. Di antara ayat-ayat ada yang merupakan jawaban daripada pertanyaan atau penolakan suatu pendapat atau perbuatan, sebagai dikatakan oleh lbnu 'Abbas r.a. Hal ini tidak dapat terlaksana kalau Al Qur'an diturunkan sekaligus.
Ayat Makkiyah dan ayat Madaniyah
Ditinjau dari segi masa turunnya, maka Al Qur'an itu dibahagi atas dua golongan:
1. Ayat-ayat yang diturunkan di Mekah atau sebelum Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. hijrah ke Madinah dinamakan ayat-ayat Makkiyyah.
2. Ayat-ayat yang diturunkan di Madinah atau sesudah Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. hijrah ke Madinah dinamakan ayat-ayat Madaniyyah.
Ayat-ayat Makkiyyah meliputi 19/30 dari isi Al Qur'an terdiri atas 86 surah, sedang ayat-ayat Madaniyyah meliputi 11/30 dari isi Al Qur'an terdiri atas 28 surah.
Perbezaan ayat-ayat Makiyyah dengan ayat-ayat Madaniyyah ialah:

Selain dari nama-nama yang tiga itu dan lagi beberapa nama bagi Al Qur'an. lmam As Suyuthy dalam kitabnya Al Itqan, menyebutkan nama-nama Al Qur'an, diantaranya: Al Mubiin, Al Kariim, Al Kalam, An Nuur.
Surah-surah dalam al-Quran
Jumlah surah yang terdapat dalam Al Qur'an ada 114; nama-namanya dan batas-batas tiap-tiap surat, susunan ayat-ayatnya adalah menurut ketentuan yang ditetapkan dan diajarkan oleh Rasulullah sendiri (tauqifi).
Sebagian dari surat-surat Al Qur'an mempunyai satu nama dan sebagian yang lain mempunyai lebih dari satu nama, sebagaimana yang akan diterangkan dalam muqaddimah tiap-tiap surat.
Surat-surat yang ada dalam Al Qur'an ditinjau dari segi panjang dan pendeknya terbagi atas 4 bagian, yaitu:
1. ASSAB'UTHTHIWAAL, dimaksudkan, tujuh surat yang panjang Yaitu: Al Baqarah, Ali Imran, An Nisaa', Al A'raaf, Al An'aam, Al Maa-idah dan Yunus.
2. Al MIUUN, dimaksudkan surat-surat yang berisi kira-kira seratus ayat lebih seperti: Hud, Yusuf, Mu'min dsb.

4. AL MUFASHSHAL, dimaksudkan surat-surat pendek. seperti: Adhdhuha, Al Ikhlas, AL Falaq, An Nas. dsb.
Huruf-huruf Hijaaiyyah yang ada pada permulaan surat.
Di dalam Al Qur'an terdapat 29 surat yang dimulai dengan huruf-huruf hijaaiyyah yaitu pada surat-surat:
(1) Al Baqarah, (2) Ali Imran, (3) Al A'raaf. (4) Yunus, (5) Yusuf, (7) Ar Ra'ad, (8) lbrahim, (9) Al Hijr, (10) Maryam. (11) Thaaha. (12) Asy Syu'araa, (13) An Naml, (14) Al Qashash, (15) A1'Ankabuut, (16) Ar Ruum. (17) Lukman, (18) As Sajdah (19) Yasin, (20) Shaad, (21) Al Mu'min, (22) Fushshilat, (23) Asy Syuuraa. (24) Az Zukhruf (25) Ad Dukhaan, (26) Al Jaatsiyah, (27) Al Ahqaaf. (28) Qaaf dan (29) Al Qalam (Nuun).
Huruf-huruf hijaaiyyah yang terdapat pada permulaan tiap-tiap surat tersebut di atas, dinamakan 'Fawaatihushshuwar' artinya pembukaan surat-surat.
Banyak pendapat dikemukakan oleh para Ulama' Tafsir tentang arti dan maksud huruf-huruf hijaaiyyah itu, selanjutnya lihat not 10, halaman 8 (Terjemah)
Ertinya: "Sesungguhnya mengumpulkan Al Qur'an (didalam dadamu) dan (menetapkan) bacaannya (pada lidahmu) itu adalah tanggunggan kami. kerana itu jika kami telah membacakannya, hendaklah kamu ikut bacaannya".
Kemudian dipakai kata "Qur'an" itu untuk Al Quran yang dikenal sekarang ini.
Adapun definisi Al Qur'an ialah: "Kalam Allah s.w.t. yang merupakan mukjizat yang diturunkan (diwahyukan) kepada Nabi Muhammad dan yang ditulis di mushaf dan diriwayatkan dengan mutawatir serta membacanya adalah ibadah"
Dengan definisi ini, kalam Allah yang diturunkan kepada nabi-nabi selain Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. tidak dinamakan Al Qur'an seperti Taurat yang diturunkan kepada Nabi Musa a.s. atau Injil yang diturun kepada Nabi Isa a.s. Dengan demikian pula Kalam Allah yang diturunkan kepada Nabi Muhammad s.a.w yang membacanya tidak dianggap sebagai ibadah, seperti Hadis Qudsi, tidak pula dinamakan Al Qur'an.
Bagaimanakah al-Quran itu diwahyukan
Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. dalam hal menerima wahyu mengalami bermacam-macam cara dan keadaan. di antaranya:
1. Malaikat memasukkan wahyu itu ke dalam hatinya. Dalam hal ini Nabi s.a.w. tidak melihat sesuatu apapun, hanya beliau merasa bahwa itu sudah berada saja dalam kalbunya. Mengenai hal ini Nabi mengatakan: "Ruhul qudus mewahyukan ke dalam kalbuku", (lihat surah (42) Asy Syuura ayat (51).
2. Malaikat menampakkan dirinya kepada Nabi berupa seorang laki-laki yang mengucapkan kata-kata kepadanya sehingga beliau mengetahui dan hafal benar akan kata-kata itu.
3. Wahyu datang kepadanya seperti gemerincingnya loceng. Cara inilah yang amat berat dirasakan oleh Nabi. Kadang-kadang pada keningnya berpancaran keringat, meskipun turunnya wahyu itu di musim dingin yang sangat. Kadang-kadang unta beliau terpaksa berhenti dan duduk karena merasa amat berat, bila wahyu itu turun ketika beliau sedang mengendarai unta. Diriwayatkan oleh Zaid bin Tsabit: "Aku adalah penulis wahyu yang diturunkan kepada Rasulullah. Aku lihat Rasulullah ketika turunnya wahyu itu seakan-akan diserang oleh demam yang keras dan keringatnya bercucuran seperti permata. Kemudian setelah selesai turunnya wahyu, barulah beliau kembali seperti biasa".
4. Malaikat menampakkan dirinya kepada Nabi, tidak berupa seorang laki-laki seperti keadaan no. 2, tetapi benar-benar seperti rupanya yang asli. Hal ini tersebut dalam Al Qur'an surah (53) An Najm ayat 13 dan 14.
Ertinya: "Sesungguhnya Muhammad telah melihatnya pada kali yang lain (kedua). Ketika ia berada di Sidratulmuntaha."
Hikmah diturunkan al-Quran secara beransur-ansur
Al Qur'an diturunkan secara beransur-ansur dalam masa 22 tahun 2 bulan 22 hari atau 23 tahun, 13 tahun di Mekkah dan 10 tahun di Madinah. Hikmah Al Qur'an diturunkan secara beransur-ansur itu ialah:
1. Agar lebih mudah difahami dan dilaksanakan. Orang tidak akan melaksanakan suruhan, dan larangan sekiranya suruhan dan larangan itu diturunkan sekaligus banyak. Hal ini disebutkan oleh Bukhari dan riwayat 'Aisyah r.a.
2. Di antara ayat-ayat itu ada yang nasikh dan ada yang mansukh, sesuai dengan permasalahan pada waktu itu. Ini tidak dapat dilakukan sekiranya Al Qur'an diturunkan sekaligus. (ini menurut pendapat yang mengatakan adanya nasikh dan mansukh).
3. Turunnya sesuatu ayat sesuai dengan peristiwa-peristiwa yang terjadi akan lebih mengesankan dan lebih berpengaruh di hati.
4. Memudahkan penghafalan. Orang-orang musyrik yang telah menayakan mengapa Al Qur'an tidak diturunkan sekaligus. sebagaimana tersebut dalam Al Qur'an ayat (25) Al Furqaan ayat 32, yaitu:
mengapakah Al Qur'an tidak diturunkan kepadanya sekaligus
Kemudian dijawab di dalam ayat itu sendiri: demikianlah, dengan (cara) begitu Kami hendak menetapkan hatimu
5. Di antara ayat-ayat ada yang merupakan jawaban daripada pertanyaan atau penolakan suatu pendapat atau perbuatan, sebagai dikatakan oleh lbnu 'Abbas r.a. Hal ini tidak dapat terlaksana kalau Al Qur'an diturunkan sekaligus.
Ayat Makkiyah dan ayat Madaniyah
Ditinjau dari segi masa turunnya, maka Al Qur'an itu dibahagi atas dua golongan:
1. Ayat-ayat yang diturunkan di Mekah atau sebelum Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. hijrah ke Madinah dinamakan ayat-ayat Makkiyyah.
2. Ayat-ayat yang diturunkan di Madinah atau sesudah Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. hijrah ke Madinah dinamakan ayat-ayat Madaniyyah.
Ayat-ayat Makkiyyah meliputi 19/30 dari isi Al Qur'an terdiri atas 86 surah, sedang ayat-ayat Madaniyyah meliputi 11/30 dari isi Al Qur'an terdiri atas 28 surah.
Perbezaan ayat-ayat Makiyyah dengan ayat-ayat Madaniyyah ialah:
1. Ayat-ayat Makkiyyah pada umumnya pendek-pendek sedang ayat-ayat Madaniyyah panjang-panjang; surat Madaniyyah yang merupakan 11/30 dari isi Al Qur'an ayat-ayatnya berjumlah 1,456, sedang ayat Makkiyyah yang merupakan 19/30 dari isi Al Qur'an jumlah ayat-ayatnya 4,780 ayat.
Juz 28 seluruhnya Madaniyyah kecuali ayat (60) Mumtahinah, ayat-ayatnya berjumlah 137; sedang juz 29 ialah Makkiyyah kecuali ayat (76) Addahr, ayat-ayatnya berjumlah 431. Surat Al Anfaal dan surat Asy Syu'araa masing-masing merupakan setengah juz tetapi yang pertama Madaniyyah dengan bilangan ayat sebanyak 75, sedang yang kedua Makiyyah dengan ayatnya yang berjumlah 227.
2. Dalam ayat-ayat Madaniyyah terdapat perkataan "Ya ayyuhalladzi na aamanu" dan sedikit sekali terdapat perkataan 'Yaa ayyuhannaas', sedang dalam ayat ayat Makiyyah adalah sebaliknya.
3. Ayat-ayat Makkiyyah pada umumnya mengandung hal-hal yang berhubungan dengan keimanan, ancaman dan pahala, kisah-kisah umat yang terdahulu yang mengandung pengajaran dan budi pekerti; sedang Madaniyyah mengandung hukum-hukum, baik yang berhubungan dengan hukum adat atau hukum-hukum duniawi, seperti hukum kemasyarakatan, hukum ketata negaraan, hukum perang, hukum internasional, hukum antara agama dan lain-lain.

Islam in Hindu Scriptures
The intention and aim of writing this article is a try, to convince Hindus to accept Islam as their religion, with the fact references from their own Vedas (Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sam Veda Atharva Veda). Because according to these Veda Idol or Murti worship is prohibited in their religion and on the contrary, worship of one God alone is allowed. And secondly, The Kalki Avtar to whom, Hindus are waiting for his coming, has been mentioned by name "Muhammad & Ahmed" in these Vedas. And Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) fulfill all those specifications and indications of kalki Avtar which have been mentioned in the their Vedas. So, now it is the religious duty of every Hindu to accept Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as their last Avtar and accept his religion (Islam), which is approved by God.
According to a Hadith, "Muhammad (PBUH) said; 'I feel cool breeze (refreshment) from AL - HIND (Muslims of India)". (Abu Dawud)
Famous poet Allama Muhammad Iqbal used this Hadith in his poetry as " Meer - e - Arab ko Aayi thandi hawan jahan se" "Mera watan wahi hai, mera watan wahi hai." (Where the Arabia Leader felt cool breeze coming from, that is my country, that is my country.)
The cool breeze from Hind, which Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) felt was none other than the vast majority and huge numbers of Muslim population in this region, who is going to be converted from Hindus into Muslims in the future. No other region in this world has such a big number of converted Muslim populations. This conversion of Hindus into Muslims is an evidence and proof that, Hindus have the element and psychological instinct of accepting Islam, more than any other religion or nation. But unfortunately, this conversion of Hindus into Muslims has been seized and stopped, because the character of Muslims has not been so impressive from the last few hundred years, as it was before, when Muslims regime conquered and ruled over this region of subcontinent. At that time Hindus converted into Muslims very fast and in big numbers, due to good character and behavior of Muslim rulers.
To make this process of conversion fast, and to keep this cool breeze flowing, Muslims must make and present their characters according to their religion and then preach the Hindus not only with the reference of The Holy Quran but with reference of their own Hindu Scriptures as well. Because if Hindu will truly follow their own Scriptures they will be automatically convinced towards Islam. Yes! This is a very strange argument to convince Hindus towards Islam with Hindu Scriptures? Because in Hindu Scriptures the concepts of Tauheed and prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) are found, as found in Christianity's Scriptures (Bible). After reading this article our minds will be cleared, that who Muslims can convince Hindus towards Islam with reference to their own Hindu Scriptures.
* "We sent a Messenger to every nation, sayings worship Allah and avoid the idols. Amongst them were some whom Allah guided, and some justly disposed to error. Travel in the land and see what was the end of those belied (the revelation and the Prophets) "(16:36)
It is possible, that God has sent any Messenger with some Sahifa or Scripture, in which worship of one unseen God and the indications or signs of the prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) were mentioned. And, later on after passing thousands of years their followers changed the message according to their own materialistic desires and manipulated, distorted the true message and mixed with some other man-made religion, for their benefit, as Christians did with their Bible. According to the Quran,
* "O people of the Scripture! Stress not in your religion other than the truth, and follow not the vain desires of folk who erred of old and led many astray ...." (5:77)
* "As such We have assigned for every Prophet an enemy; the Satans of human and Jinn, revealing varnish speech (fancy words) to each other, all as a delusion (deceive). But had your Lord willed, they would not have done so. Therefore, leave them and what they invent." (6:112)
* "Generations came thereafter who lost the Salat prayer and pursued their lusts (desires). "(19:59)
MEANINGS OF HINDU
The word Hindu is not a religious word. It is secular in origin. It has been derived from the word Indo, Sindhu, which is the name of a major river that flows in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent. The ancient Greeks and Armenians used to refer the people living beyond the river Sindhu as Hindus and gradually the name struck. After centuries the Aryans came down, and where they started living, they named the place Aryavart and long afterwards it was named as Bhartvarsh. When the Muslims came to the subcontinent they called the people living in the region as Hindustanis to distinguish them from the foreign Muslims. Subsequently when the British established their rule, they started calling the local religions collectively under the name of Hinduism. So whosoever was living across the Sindhu was called Indu & now Hindu whether Muslim, Christian etc.
It is interesting to note that the word is neither Sanskrit nor Dravidian and did not originate in India. The word Hindu is also not mentioned in Hindu Scriptures. If, we go by the original definition of the word Hindu, any one who lives in the subcontinent is generally a Hindu, whatever religion he or she practices. It took the shape of an "Ism" lately, by Pundits and Brahmins. The rites, sects and ceremonies prevailing in the valley of River Sind were named as Hinduism. It means Hinduism in itself is nothing. It is a formulation and manipulation of Pundits and Brahmins and not of any Avtar or God.
THE HISTORY OF HINDUISM
Hinduism is one of the oldest religions of the world. The European historians of early 20th Century grudgingly accepted the period around 2500 B.C. But many present day scholars, especially from India, do not agree with this opinion. Hinduism can be better estimated from the astronomical evidence available in the Hindu Scriptures. These evidences suggest that the Hinduism has a long and checkered history of at least 6,000 years or more. Hinduism is not a religion, but a set of beliefs, rites, ceremonies, customs, traditions and cultures, which have evolved over a period of time in the valley of river Sindh. It is only a way of life, based upon a local group of religious movements evolved in the Indian subcontinent over a vast period of time. It is not based upon a single scripture. No definition of Hinduism truly justifies the true meaning and significance of Hinduism. Murti or Idol worship was added by Pundits & Brahmins. Now, it is for Hindu scholar's to think, as to where they stand.
HINDUS ARE NOT FOLLOWING THEIR RELIGION GIVEN IN THE VEDAS
The VEDAS are divided into four books: Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sam Veda and Atharva Veda. Of these, the first three books are considered the more ancient books, and the Rig Veda is the oldest of them. Swami Daya Nand, founder of the Arya Samaj, holds the opinion that the Vedas were revealed 1.3 billion years ago, while others scholars hold the opinion that they are not more than four thousand years old.
Yajur Veda chapter 31, Rig Veda Mandal 10 sukta 129, Atharva Veda 8/11/3-6 & Saam Veda 617 say that the knowledge of four Vedas is direct from God. According to four Vedas God is mentioned as SWAYAMBHUHU -- SWAYAM means self and BHUHU means powers which means power of God is due to His own power. God has unlimited qualities for example Yajur Veda mantra 40/8 says God is everywhere, He has no shape. Upanishads says 'TAD SRISHTA TADNU PRAVISHT' means God created Universe & entered therein. All the four Vedas say about the God, in Yajur Veda chapter 32/3 "The Formless Supreme Spirit that pervades the universe can have no material representation, likeness or image." In Rig Veda Mandal 10 sukta 129 " God creates but nobody create God" and Rig Veda 5:1:81 says "Verily, great is the glory of the divine creator" and Atharva Veda 20:58:3 says " God is verily great" In Sanskrit Brahma means "The Creator" translated into Arabic means "Khaaliq" and Creator in English. According to Quran (15:86) "Your Lord is the Creator, the knower" and in (6:10) " HE is the Creator of the heaven and earth." So, Worship of one God alone is mentioned in Veda for example Rigveda 8:1:1 "O friends, do not worship anybody but Him, the Divine One. Praise Him alone". These four Vedas also talks about the prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in [Sama Veda II: 6,8] [Rigveda Book I, Hymn 53 verse 9] [Rig Veda V, 27, Mantra 1] and in [Kuntap Sukt, Atharva Veda, Mantra 3] details are coming below.
Unfortunately, the knowledge of the Vedas have been stopped to be listened during the last five thousand years, that is why, the worship of only one God is not being done. During the materialistic period this traditional task has been ear marked tough by mostly saints & public under the influence of so-called saints. For-example Tulsi says in Ramayan "DWIJ SHRUTI BECHAK" i.e., present Gurus have sold Vedas means they never study Vedas & do know nothing about Vedas. In the next saying "SHRUTI BIRODH RAT SAB NAR NARI" means man, woman & their children have taken bold steps against the Vedas. Up to the time of Mahabharta there was no temple. Thereafter, the knowledge of Vedas decreased & between two to three thousands years the temple has been made. The books (Mahabharta & Bhagwat Geeta etc) came after the Vedas have been described and explained on the basis of sects or self made views of present so called saints, whereas the Vedas were written by ancient Rishis. After MAHABHARAT war the knowledge of Vedas did minimize and almost came to an end, and therefore, so many sects and way of worship came in existence. So, the reason of the temples and murti is only due to the decrease and little knowledge of Vedas, for the last about three thousands years, because before this period there was no temple. Temple provision is only in the sects made by Pundits and not in the Vedas. So when there was the knowledge of Vedas, only one God was worshiped. This is how religion given in the Vedas changed or converted into Hinduism by the Pundits, Brahmins and so called saints.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MUSLIM AND HINDU
The difference between Muslim and Hindu belief is the perception of God. The common Hindu consider everything as God like tree, sun, moon, snake and even human beings as manifestation of God. On the contrary, Muslim believe, that everything is God's. In other words everything belongs to God, like tree, sun, moon, snake, human beings and everything in this universe belongs to God. So the main difference between Hindu and Muslim beliefs is that Hindu says everything is God and Muslim says everything is God's. The common Hindu belief in multiple gods while learned Hindus, who are well versed in their scriptures, insist that a Hindu should believe in and worship only one God. Lets take a look some verses about the basic concepts of God in Hindu scriptures with the comparison of Holy Quran.
CONCEPT OF TAUHEED (WORSHIP OF ONE GOD "ALONE") IN HINDU SCRIPTURES
* Qur'an: "Say: He is Allah, The ONE and ONLY. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him." [Al-Qur'an 112:1-4]
* Hindu Scriptures: "I am the goal of life, the LORD and support of all, the inner witness, the abode of all. I am the only refuge, the ONE true friend; I am the beginning, the staying, and the end of creation; I am the womb and the eternal seed. I am heat; I give and withhold the rain. I am immortality and I am death; I am what is and what is not"[Bhagavad Gita 9:18-19]
* Hindu Scriptures: " O friends, do not worship ANYBODY but Him, the Divine One. Praise Him ALONE."[Rigveda 8:1:1]
* Hindu Scriptures: "He is ONE ONLY without a second." [Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1]
* Hindu Scriptures: "There is only ONE God, not the second; not at all, not at all, not in the least bit."[Brahma Sutra]

* Hindu Scriptures: "That which cannot be seen by the eyes, but by which the eyes see, [Kena Upanishad]
* Hindu Scriptures: "The Formless Supreme Spirit that pervades the universe can have no material representation, likeness or image." -- (Yajur Veda 32:3.)
* Hindu Scriptures: "He is bodiless and pure." [Yajurveda 40:8]
CONCEPT OF SHIRK IN HINDU SCRIPTURES
* Qur'an: "Allah forgives not (The sin of) joining other gods With Him; but He forgives whom He pleases other sins than this: one who joins other gods with Allah, Has strayed far, far away (From the Right)." [4:116]
* Qur'an: "We sent a Messenger to every nation, sayings worship Allah and avoid the idols. Amongst them were some whom Allah guided, and some justly disposed to error,. Travel in the land and see what was the end of those belied (the revelation and the Prophets) "[16:36]
* Hindu Scriptures: "Of Him there are neither parents nor lord." [Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:9]
* Hindu Scriptures: "They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, but those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time" (Yajur Veda 40:9.)
* Hindu Scriptures: "Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures." [Bhagavad Gita 7:20]
THE CONCEPT OF DIVINE CREATOR (GOD) IN HINDU SCRIPTURES
* Qur'an: "Your Lord is the Creator, the knower"(15:86)
* Qur'an: "HE is the Creator of the heaven and earth." (6:10)
* Hindu Scriptures: "God creates but nobody create God." (Rig Veda Mandal 10 sukta 129)
* Hindu Scriptures: "Verily, great is the glory of the Divine Creator." (Rig Veda 5:1:81)
* Hindu Scriptures: "God is verily great" (Atharva Veda 20:58:3)
THE DISBELIEVERS IN HINDU SCRIPTURES
* Qur'an: "Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return (to the path)."[Al-Qur'an 2:18]
* Hindu Scriptures: " There maybe someone who sees the words and yet indeed does not see them; may be another one who hears these words but indeed does not hear them." [Rigveda 10:71:4]
CONCEPT OF KABAH IN HINDU SCRIPTURES
* "Brahma (Abrahim) stayed in this abode which is illumined by heavenly light and covered with Divine blessings. It is the place that gives (spiritual) life to the people and is unconquerable." (Atharva Veda X, 2, Mantra 33)
* "Whether it is built high, its walls are in a straight line or not, but God is seen in every corner of it. He who knows the House of God, knows it because God is remembered there. This abode of the angels has eight circuits and nine gates. It is unconquerable, there is eternal life in it and it is resplendent with Divine light. (Atharva Veda X, 2, Mantras 28 and 31)
The Kabah is not exactly cubical and its sides are not of the same length. The Holy Sanctuary (Haram) of which Ka'abah is at the center remains open day and night throughout the year and it is always filled with people praying and supplicating to Allah (the One True God). Muslims face toward it during prayer forming circle in the Haram (Holy House) and the circle extends out in this manner throughout the planet Earth. The holy sanctuary (Haram) has remained unconquerable. Abraha al-Ashram, the Abbysinian viceroy of Yemen, tried to demolish it in 570 CE with a strong army and hordes of Elephants. By Allah's Command, the 'Abaabeel' (flying creatures, birds) pelted stones at Abraha's army and decimated it, leaving them like green crops devoured by cattle. This incident is described in the Surah 105 of the Qur'an.
PROPHECY OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PBUH) IN HINDU SCRIPTURES
The Quran informs us that, prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is not only Warner for one nation but, for the whole mankind, it further informs that, the prophecy of Muhammad (PBUH) was foretold in the previous Scriptures revealed on different nations.
* " Blessed is He who has sent down the Criterion to His worshiper (Prophet Muhammad), that he is a Warner to all mankind." (25:1)
* "We sent thee not but as a Mercy for all the creatures" (21:107)
* "We sent thee not but as a bringer of good tidings and a Warner unto all mankind."(34:28)
* "Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures) in the law and the Gospel". (7.157)
According to Hindu belief an Avtar is going to appear in the future, who will be the final Avtar and he will be bless for all mankind and kill the evil. There are several indications and specifications have been predicted and mentioned about the Avtar. And all these specifications and indications 100% fit on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). No other Avtar in the future can be fit on these specifications, because all the incidents which have been mentioned about the coming of Avtar have already been passed through with the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). So these incidents cannot be repeat again. So it is useless to wait for the Avtar in the future. Following, are some of the major details of Kalki Avtar with the detail reference from the life history of Prophet Muhammd (PBUH).
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.
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 Sanskrit word "Vaishnuvesh & Soomati" in Arabic language it will be "Abdullah & Amina". So again the difference of language.
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 of peace. 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 means servant or BHAGAT and man, Vaishnuvesh mean God's servant or God's devotee and in Arabic language ABDULLAH has the same meanings.
BRAHMIN MAHANT mean religious saint and Makkah's religious and respectable saint was "Hasham", then "Mutlib", then Hasham's son "Abdul Mutlib" became the religious saint of Makkah, who was the grand father of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and during the period of religious saint Muhammad was born in home of Abdullah son of Abdul Mutlib. In short, Muhammad was born in the respectable tribe of Quraish who enjoyed great respect and high place in Makkah. So according to scripture Kalki Avtar will be born in Brahmin Mahant's (religious saint) respectable family.
DATE OF BIRTH OF KALKI AVTAR
* He will be born in the month of Bisakh on 12th day (Kalki Puran Adhay 2, Shloka 15)
Baisakh is famous month in Hindi, which is still known with this name. According to Hindi calendar Muhammad was born on 12th Baisakh of 628 Bakrami, and this day according to Arabic calendar is 12th Rabiyyyul Awwal. So the date of birth matches with Kalki Avtar.
THE PERIOD OF KALKI AVTAR
* Kalki Avtar would ride horse, camel and keep the sword to kill the devil and enemies of religion.
It mean that Kalki Avtar will be born in the past time when horse and camel were used for riding and sword was being used for fight. And in this period and in the coming future people will use cars, train & planes for riding and guns, missiles will be use for fighting. So it is now useless to wait for Avtar in future. We should not forget that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was borne during the time of horse & camel, and he fought with sword during battles against infidels.
DEATH OF KALKI AVTAR'S PARENTS
* Kalki Avtar's Father will die before his birth and his Mother will die after few years of his birth. (Kalki Puran, Bhaghwat Puran Khand 12)
These two indications clearly fit on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). His Father died few days earlier of his birth and his Mother died when Muhammad was only six year old. For reference please study the life history of prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
KALKI AVTAR WILL GET WISDOM ON A MOUNTAIN
* According to Kalki Puran, the Kalki Avtar will receive wisdom or knowledge on a mountain's cave from PERSHURAM (angle).
As every one knows that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was busy in his pray in a cave of mountain "HIRA" and there one day an Angle (Gabriel) appeared and brought the first revelation from God. For reference Holy Quran (96:1) "Read (Prophet Muhammad) with the name of Allah" and he replied " I am not learned" the same indication was given in the Christian's scripture (Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12) " and the book delivered to him that is not learned, saying " Read this", I pray thee: and he said, I am not learned", this is another prove of his prophecy. So prophet Muhammad received his first revelation in the cave of mountain HIRA. And this prediction also fit on him.
PREACHING, IRRITATION, MIGRATION AND RETURN TO HIS CITY
* It is further written in the kalki Puran that " Kalki avtar will start his preaching from the city SHAMBHAL GARAM (Makkah: city of peace) which is situated in SALAM DEEP (Jazeeratul Arab), but people of that city will be against him and irritate him, so he will migrate to another city (Madina) which will be covered with mountains. Then after few years, he will be returned to his city with sword and conquer the city and the whole country."
This prediction also fit on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He started his preaching from Makkah (city of peace), which is situated in Jazeeratul Arab (salam deep), when people of Makkah tried to irritate him he migrated towards the city covered with mountains (Madina) with his companions. And after few years he came back with sword and his 10,000 companions and conquered the city Makkah and after that the whole Arab. For reference please study life history of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and this incidence is famous with the name of " Fateh Makkah" in the Islamic history.
A FLYING HORSE FROM GOD
* He will receive a flying horse from God, which will be faster than lightning. Riding it he will go around earth and seven skies" (Bhagwat Puran Khand 12, Adhay 2, Shloka19-20)
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 Muhammad (PBUH) regarding Incidence of Miraj. According to these references Prophet Muhammad traveled the seven skies and there he met with previous Prophets, and for this God gave him a horse name BARQ which mean lightning and word Miraj mean height and ladder. Please study life history of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for details.
SPLITTING OF MOON
* According to the scripture Kalki Avtaar will split the moon.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed this miracle 1,400 ago. For reference see Holy Quran (54:1-3) "The hour drew night and moon rend (split) in twain ..." For more details about moon splitting please study the hadiths of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) (Volume 4, book 56, number 830-832 and volume 5, book 58, number 209-211) According to these hadiths" the people of Makkah asked Allah's Apostle to show a miracle (sign of his Prophecy). So he showed them the moon split in two halves between which they saw the Hiram Mountain"
There is an interesting tradition in India. Bhoj was an Indian king, there is still city Bhoj on his name in the territory of Kachh (Gujrat). Raja was born after so many years of Bhavish Puran during the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). One night he saw moon splitting in two, he asked the Pundits, they studied the Vedas and Puranas, and told the king that this is the miracle of last prophet, when king asked the signs or descriptions of the Prophet, they told," He will be from the city of peace (Makkah) and will be born in the house of a religious saint, his name will be "Narashansah" (praise one: Muhammad in Arabic), he will have four Khulafa and have 12 wifes ". In search of Narashansah, he came to know that he appeared in Makkah. He met with him and embraced Islam at the hand of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and prophet gave him the name Abdullah, when he came back to home his family did not accept him. He spend his whole life in remembering Prophet and in worship of one God. For reference (Dr. Kamala Kant Tewari's book "Kalyuge Ke Antim Rishi" Page5, he took this from Pundit Dharm Ved Apadhye's book "Antim Ishwar Doot" page 97). So Raja was the first Indian who embraced Islam.
ANGELS WILL HELP HIM DURING WAR
* Kalki Avtar will be helped by angels during war. (Kalki Puran Adhay 2, Shloka 7)
This prediction also fit on prophet Muhammad (PBUH), when during the battle of UHAD, BADR etc. God sent His Angels for his help. For reference see Holy Quran (3:123,124,125) "And Allah must assuredly helped you at Badr when you were mortified, therefore fear Allah, in order that you will give thanks to Him. When you said to the believers, is it not enough for you that your Lord should reinforce you with three thousand (3,000) angels sent down upon you? Rather, if you have patience and cautions, and they suddenly come against you, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand (5,000) angles"
Holy Quran (9:25) " Allah has helped you on many a battlefield ..."
FOUR COMPANIONS OF KALKI AVTAR
* Kalki Avtar with his four companions or will kill the evil. (Kaiki Puran.Adhay 2,Shloka5)
There were four companions or helpers of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who helped him in spreading Islam. Their names are Umar (ra), Abu Bakr (ra), Usman (ra) and Ali (ra). After death of Prophet these companions ruled the country and practically imposed the religion. They are known as Khulafa - e - Rashideen in Islamic history. So this prediction also fit on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
KALKI AVTAR WILL BE THE LAST AVTAR
* There are 24 main Prophet, but Kalki Avtar will be the last one, who will be the end (seal) of all Prophets. (Bhagwat Puran Partham Khand Adhay 3, Shloka 25)
No Prophet except Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has declared him as the last Prophet and it is the faith of every Muslim that Prophet Muhammad is the last Prophet and no Prophet will come after him. God Himself declared Muhammad (PBUH) as the last Prophet. For reference see (Holy Quran 33.40) " he (Muhammad) is the messenger of Allah and the Seal of Prophets, and Allah is aware of all things .." and in another place God says, " .. This day I have perfected your religion for you and completed my favor to you. I have approved Islam to be your religion ..." (5.3)
Another interesting thing is that, in the Holy Quran there are 25 Prophets mentioned by name including Prophet Ahmed (Muhammad) himself, so there were 24 main Prophets before Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). So these two predictions also fit on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
TULSI DAAS AND DESCRIPTIONS OF KALKI AVTAR
A famous religious Scholar "TULSI DAAS" presents his conclusion in his book "RAMAYAN", which contains the story of Shri Ram. In this book he discussed and concluded the predictions and indications, which are mentioned in " Sangram Puran" kand 12, Adheyae6.
* "Here I will not favored anyone, I will say only that which Sadhu and Sants have said in the light of Vedas& Purans."
* "He will born in 7th Century of Bakrami and with the light of his 4 Sun, he will be appeared in the great darkness."
Muhammad (PBUH) was born on 12th Baisakh of 628 (7th Century) Bakrami and 4 Sun referred to four Khalifas, as mentioned above.
* "And he will preach his religion with wisdom and he will give good news and forbid too."
This prediction also fit on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for reference see Holy Quran (33:45,46,47) "O Prophet! LO! WE have sent thee as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a Warner. And as a summoner unto Allah by His permission, and as a Lamp that give light. And announce unto the believers the good tidings (good news) they will have great bounty from Allah."
* "He will have 4 respected Khalifas."
As their name have been mentioned above, Umar, Abu Bakr, Usman & Ali, known as Khulafa - e - Rashedeen in Islamic history.
* "And when he and his religion will be appeared then, there will be no refuge with out Muhammad (PBUH)"
To understand the refuge of Muhammad please see Holy Quran (4.13-14) "... he who obey Allah and His messenger (Muhammad), He will admit him to Gardens underneath which rivers flow that is a great wining. And he who disobey Allah and His messenger (Muhammad) and transgress His Bounds; he will admit him to a fire and shall live in it forever. For him, there is a humiliating punishment." And further in Holy Quran (3.132) "Obey Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad) in order to be subjected to mercy."
* "He will be match less and there will be no likeness to him, Tulsi Daas is what ever saying is pet and true."
According to Quran (68:4) "And thou (standest) on an exalted standard of character." And ("Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah, a beautiful pattern (of conduct)"(33:21).
* "The stair of 10,000 years Prophecy will be completed, then no one will get this Prophecy.
As explained above (Holy Quran 33:40) " he (Muhammad) is the messenger of Allah and the Seal of Prophets, and Allah is aware of all things .."
* "A star will shine on the Land of Arab and that land will be very respectable and glorified."
When all Arabs were is great darkness Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) appeared like a star with the light of Holy Quran.
* "He will show miracles and will be called as friend of God.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed many miracles. One of them was miracle of moon splitting as mentioned above.
SOME MORE CLEAR INDICATIONS OF KALKI AVTAR
Following are some more and clear indications from Bhovishya Puran: Prati Sarg, Part III:3,3, 5-27 about Kalki Avtar, which clearly fit by name Muhammad & Ahmed and referred to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
NAME AND PLACE OF KALKI AVTAR
* "A malechha (belonging to a foreign country and speaking foreign language) spiritual teacher will appear with his companions. His name will be MAHAMMAD. Raja (Bhoj) after giving this Mahadev Arab (of angelic disposition) a bath in the 'Panchgavya' and the Ganges water, (i.e. purging him of all sins) offered him the presents of his sincere devotion and showing him all reverence said, 'I make obeisance to thee.' 'O Ye! The pride of mankind, ("Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah, a beautiful pattern (of conduct)"[Al-Qur'an 33:21].) the dweller in Arabia, (The Sanskrit word Marusthal means a sandy track of land or a desert.) Ye have collected a great force to kill the Devil and you yourself have been protected from the malechha opponents (idol worshipers, pagans).' 'O Ye! The image of the Most Pious God the biggest Lord, I am a slave to thee, take me as one lying on thy feet.'.." (Bhovishya Puran)
* "The Malechhas have spoiled the well-known land of the Arabs. Arya Dharma is not to be found in that country. (Bhovishya Puran)
The name of the Avtar clearly mentioned as "Mahammad" and no other Prophet had this name except Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) the last Prophet. It is further clear that Kalki Avtar will be not from the land of India. Rather, he will be from the land of Arab and in Arab there was only Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) born. It is also clear that Aryan religion was only found in India, not in Arabia. The Prophet did not physically take a bath in the Panchgavya and the water of Ganges. Since the water of Ganges is considered holy, taking bath in the Ganges is an idiom, which means washing away sins or immunity from all sorts of sins. Here the prophecy implies that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was sinless, i.e. Maasoom.
* "Before also there appeared a misguided fiend whom I had killed [note: e.g., Abraha Al-Ashram, the Abyssinian viceroy of Yemen, who attacked Makkah]; he has now again appeared being sent by a powerful enemy. To show these enemies the right path and to give them guidance the well-known MAHAMAD (Mohammad), who has been given by me the epithet of Brahma is busy in bringing the Pishachas to the right path. O Raja! You need not go to the land of the foolish Pishachas, you will be purified through my kindness even where you are". (Bhovishya Puran)
MEAT & LAWFUL THING EATER, BEARD KEEPER AND ANOUNCING FOR PRAYER (ADAN)
* "At night, he of the angelic disposition, the shrewd man, in the guise of a Pishacha said to Raja Bhoj, "O Raja! Your Arya Dharma has been made to prevail over all religions, but according to the commandments of 'Ishwar Parmatma (God, Supreme Spirit), I shall enforce the strong creed of the meat-eaters." (Bhovishya Puran)
It is also clear that Kalki Avtar will be meat eater, while in Hindu Dhama meat eating is prohibited. So it is clear that Kalki Avtar will not be from Hindu Dharma. Some people may argue that 'Raja' Bhoj mentioned in the prophecy lived in the 11th century C.E. 500 years after the advent of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and was the descendant in the 10th generation of Raja Shalivahan. These people fail to realise that there was not only one Raja of the name Bhoj. The Egyptian Monarchs were called as Pharaoh and the Roman Kings were known as Caesar, similarly the Indian Rajas were given the title of Bhoj. There were several Raja Bhoj who came before the one in 11th Century C.E.)
* "My follower will be a man circumcised, without a tail (on his head), keeping beard, creating a revolution, announcing call for prayer (Adan) and will be eating all lawful things. He will eat all sorts of animals except swine". (Bhovishya Puran)
In Hindu Dharam Pundits or Brahmins keeps the tail on their heads, while according to Hindu Scripture Kalki will be without tail and on the contrary, he will be keeping the beard, it is well known that it is the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to keep the beard. And only in Islam, Muslims call for prayer during their Adan before Namaz (prayer). In Islam all lawful things and animals are allowed or Halal, while, swine or pork is prohibited (Haram) by God. According to Quran (5.88) "Eat of the lawful and good things, which Allah has provided you." And (2.173) "He has forbidden you the dead blood, and the flesh of swine")
KALKI AVTAR WILL BE MUSLIM
* "They will not seek purification from the holy shrubs, but will be purified through warfare (Jihad). Because of their fighting the irreligious nations, they will be known as Musalmans (Muslims). I shall be the originator of this religion of the meat-eating nation." (Bhovishya Puran)
This indication has clearly proved that the Kalki Avtar is none other than Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), because the Nation or Ummah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is known as Muslims or Musalman.
RELIGIOUS LAW
* "AHMAD acquired religious Law (Shariah) from his Lord. This religious Law is full of wisdom. I receive light from him just as from the Sun.."[Sama Veda II:6,8]
* The Sanskrit word used is Sushrama, which means praiseworthy or well praised which in Arabic means Muhammad (PBUH). [Rigveda Book I, Hymn 53 verse 9]
Another name of Prophet Muhammad is AHMED, no other prophet had this name except prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as Prophet Esa (PBUH) also gave the indication of a Messenger to his nation, who will come after him and his name will be AHMED. According to Quran (61.6)"And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said, 'O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me and giving glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name shall be AHMED.' But when he came to them with clear signs, they said, 'this is evident sorcery!" (61.6) Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave the Islamic Law of SHARIAH. According to Quran (34.28) " We have sent thee but as a universal (Messenger) to men, giving them glad tidings and warning them (against sin), but most men understand not."
KALKI WILL BE CAMEL RIDER AND 60,090 ENEMIES
* "He is Narashansah or the praised one (Muhammad). He is Kaurama: the prince of peace or the emigrant, who is safe, even amongst a host of 60,090 enemies. He is a camel-riding Rishi, whose chariot touches the heaven". [Atharvaveda book 20 Hymn 127 verses 1-13]
The Sanskrit word Narashansah means 'the praised one', which is the literal translation of the Arabic word Muhammad (PBUH). The Sanskrit word Kaurama means 'one who spreads and promotes peace'. The holy Prophet was the 'Prince of Peace' and he preached equality of human kind and universal brotherhood. Kaurama also means an emigrant. The Prophet migrated from Makkah to Madinah and was thus also an Emigrant. He will be protected from 60,090 enemies, which was the population of Makkah. The Prophet would ride a camel. This clearly indicates that it cannot be an Indian Rishi, This mantra gave the Rishi's name as Mamah. No rishi in India or another Prophet had this name Mamah that is derived from Mah, which means to esteem highly, or to revere, to exalt, etc. Some Sanskrit books give the Prophet's name as 'Mohammad'. According to Buddhism, Buddha said " I am not the only Buddha after me, at appropriate time a great Buddah will come and his name will be "MAITREYA" which means love, kindness, compassion, mercy etc. The Arabic for mercy is rehmet. RAHMAT is the title given to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the Holy Quran (21:07) "Rahmatan lil Alameen" Mercy unto the worlds. Buddha further said, "He will migrate from his homeland" (Makkah to Madinah).
TEN THOUSAND COMPANIONS OF KALKI AVTAR
* "The wagon-possessor, the truthful and truth loving, extremely wise, powerful and generous, Mamah [Mohammad] has favored me with his words. The son of the All-powerful, possessing all good attributes, the mercy for the worlds has become famous with ten thousand [companions]". [Rig Veda V, 27, Mantra 1]
The ten thousands Saints refer to the ten thousands companions who accompanied the Prophet (PBUH) when he entered Makkah during Fateh Makkah which was a unique victory in the history of mankind in which there was no blood shed.
HUNDRED GOLD COINS AND TEN CHAPLETS OF KALKI AVTAR
* "He gave the Mamah Rishi a hundred gold coins, ten chaplets, three hundred steeds and ten thousand cows". [Kuntap Sukt, Atharva Veda, Mantra 3]
He is given 100 gold coins, which refers to the believers and the earlier companions of the Prophet during his turbulent Makkan life. Later on due to persecution they migrated from Makkah to Abysinia. Later when Prophet migrated to Madinah all of them joined him in Madinah.
The 10 chaplets or necklaces were the 10 best companions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) known as Ashra-Mubbashshira (10 bestowed with good news).
300 good steeds (horses of Arab Breed) refer to those companions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who fought at BADR. (Their actual number was 313; however, in many prophecies the numbers are usually rounded up.)
The Sanskrit word Go is derived from Gaw, which means 'to go to war'. A cow is also called Go and is a symbol of war as well as peace. The 10,000 cows refer to the 10,000 companions who accompanied the Prophet (PBUH) when he entered Makkah during Fateh Makkah.
THE CONCLUSION
The above references from the Hindu Scriptures prove that Hindus were foretold about the worship of one God and were also foretold about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in their Holy Scriptures. But, they denied their Holy Scriptures and invented their own rules and regulations in the religion, and changed their religion according to their own materialistic and vain desires and made idols (images) of gods and their Avtars Ram & Karishana etc, and worshipped them as God. This is, how true religions of Vedas converted in to man-made religion (Hinduism).
With the above facts references from the Vedas & other Hindu Scriptures, it is possible that, Hindu Pundits and Brahmins might have changed the true concepts given in the Vedas into Hinduism as Christians have changed the true religion (Islam) of Jesus (PBUH) into Christianity.
The thing which is needed to do is that, Muslim scholars should take steps to preach the Hindus not only with the reference of Holy Quran but, with the fact references from their own Hindu Scriptures. According to whom worship of one God is allowed, so they should discard idol and murti worship and worship only one God according to their Scriptures. Secondly, the Kalki Avtar (Coming Prophet) which has been mentioned by name "Muhammad" & "Ahmed" in their Scriptures and all the indications about his Prophet hood mentioned in their Scriptures have been gone through and completed 1,400 years before, with the advent of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the religious law (The Quran) has been revealed on him. So, now it is the religious duty of each Hindu to accept Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as their last Avtar (Prophet), and the Quran as their last revealed Scripture and embrace ISLAM the religion of their last Avtar (Prophet) which has been chosen, perfected and authorized by his one God and become Muslim. Because according to Holy Quran:-
* "This day I have perfected your religion for you and completed my favor to you. I have approved Islam to be your religion ..." (5.3).
* "Allah has chosen for you the religion. Do not die except being Submissive (Muslim) (2.132)
* "It is HE who has been sent His Messenger with guidance the religion of truth (Islam), so that exalts it above all other religions. Allah is the sufficient witness" (48:28)
* "The only religion with Allah is Islam (submission) (3:19)
* "He who chooses a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him and in the everlasting life he will be among the losers" (3:85)
So, Islam is the only religion chosen and approved by God and Islam supersedes and suppress all the other religions, because no other religion will be accepted except Islam. So Hindus leave your obstinacy, which has become obstacle for you, use your wisdom & intellect and courage, do not be among the losers and embrace Islam as your religion. After these arguments, there will be no excuse for Hindus to accept Islam. I hope Muslim scholars will find and get positive answer, because natural and psychological instinct is still working unconsciously in the minds of Hindu as it was working before. It will certainly be a great achievement for the Muslim scholars.
According to a Hadith, "Muhammad (PBUH) said; 'I feel cool breeze (refreshment) from AL - HIND (Muslims of India)". (Abu Dawud)
Famous poet Allama Muhammad Iqbal used this Hadith in his poetry as " Meer - e - Arab ko Aayi thandi hawan jahan se" "Mera watan wahi hai, mera watan wahi hai." (Where the Arabia Leader felt cool breeze coming from, that is my country, that is my country.)
The cool breeze from Hind, which Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) felt was none other than the vast majority and huge numbers of Muslim population in this region, who is going to be converted from Hindus into Muslims in the future. No other region in this world has such a big number of converted Muslim populations. This conversion of Hindus into Muslims is an evidence and proof that, Hindus have the element and psychological instinct of accepting Islam, more than any other religion or nation. But unfortunately, this conversion of Hindus into Muslims has been seized and stopped, because the character of Muslims has not been so impressive from the last few hundred years, as it was before, when Muslims regime conquered and ruled over this region of subcontinent. At that time Hindus converted into Muslims very fast and in big numbers, due to good character and behavior of Muslim rulers.
To make this process of conversion fast, and to keep this cool breeze flowing, Muslims must make and present their characters according to their religion and then preach the Hindus not only with the reference of The Holy Quran but with reference of their own Hindu Scriptures as well. Because if Hindu will truly follow their own Scriptures they will be automatically convinced towards Islam. Yes! This is a very strange argument to convince Hindus towards Islam with Hindu Scriptures? Because in Hindu Scriptures the concepts of Tauheed and prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) are found, as found in Christianity's Scriptures (Bible). After reading this article our minds will be cleared, that who Muslims can convince Hindus towards Islam with reference to their own Hindu Scriptures.
* "We sent a Messenger to every nation, sayings worship Allah and avoid the idols. Amongst them were some whom Allah guided, and some justly disposed to error. Travel in the land and see what was the end of those belied (the revelation and the Prophets) "(16:36)
It is possible, that God has sent any Messenger with some Sahifa or Scripture, in which worship of one unseen God and the indications or signs of the prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) were mentioned. And, later on after passing thousands of years their followers changed the message according to their own materialistic desires and manipulated, distorted the true message and mixed with some other man-made religion, for their benefit, as Christians did with their Bible. According to the Quran,
* "O people of the Scripture! Stress not in your religion other than the truth, and follow not the vain desires of folk who erred of old and led many astray ...." (5:77)
* "As such We have assigned for every Prophet an enemy; the Satans of human and Jinn, revealing varnish speech (fancy words) to each other, all as a delusion (deceive). But had your Lord willed, they would not have done so. Therefore, leave them and what they invent." (6:112)
* "Generations came thereafter who lost the Salat prayer and pursued their lusts (desires). "(19:59)
MEANINGS OF HINDU
The word Hindu is not a religious word. It is secular in origin. It has been derived from the word Indo, Sindhu, which is the name of a major river that flows in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent. The ancient Greeks and Armenians used to refer the people living beyond the river Sindhu as Hindus and gradually the name struck. After centuries the Aryans came down, and where they started living, they named the place Aryavart and long afterwards it was named as Bhartvarsh. When the Muslims came to the subcontinent they called the people living in the region as Hindustanis to distinguish them from the foreign Muslims. Subsequently when the British established their rule, they started calling the local religions collectively under the name of Hinduism. So whosoever was living across the Sindhu was called Indu & now Hindu whether Muslim, Christian etc.
It is interesting to note that the word is neither Sanskrit nor Dravidian and did not originate in India. The word Hindu is also not mentioned in Hindu Scriptures. If, we go by the original definition of the word Hindu, any one who lives in the subcontinent is generally a Hindu, whatever religion he or she practices. It took the shape of an "Ism" lately, by Pundits and Brahmins. The rites, sects and ceremonies prevailing in the valley of River Sind were named as Hinduism. It means Hinduism in itself is nothing. It is a formulation and manipulation of Pundits and Brahmins and not of any Avtar or God.
THE HISTORY OF HINDUISM
Hinduism is one of the oldest religions of the world. The European historians of early 20th Century grudgingly accepted the period around 2500 B.C. But many present day scholars, especially from India, do not agree with this opinion. Hinduism can be better estimated from the astronomical evidence available in the Hindu Scriptures. These evidences suggest that the Hinduism has a long and checkered history of at least 6,000 years or more. Hinduism is not a religion, but a set of beliefs, rites, ceremonies, customs, traditions and cultures, which have evolved over a period of time in the valley of river Sindh. It is only a way of life, based upon a local group of religious movements evolved in the Indian subcontinent over a vast period of time. It is not based upon a single scripture. No definition of Hinduism truly justifies the true meaning and significance of Hinduism. Murti or Idol worship was added by Pundits & Brahmins. Now, it is for Hindu scholar's to think, as to where they stand.
HINDUS ARE NOT FOLLOWING THEIR RELIGION GIVEN IN THE VEDAS
The VEDAS are divided into four books: Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sam Veda and Atharva Veda. Of these, the first three books are considered the more ancient books, and the Rig Veda is the oldest of them. Swami Daya Nand, founder of the Arya Samaj, holds the opinion that the Vedas were revealed 1.3 billion years ago, while others scholars hold the opinion that they are not more than four thousand years old.
Yajur Veda chapter 31, Rig Veda Mandal 10 sukta 129, Atharva Veda 8/11/3-6 & Saam Veda 617 say that the knowledge of four Vedas is direct from God. According to four Vedas God is mentioned as SWAYAMBHUHU -- SWAYAM means self and BHUHU means powers which means power of God is due to His own power. God has unlimited qualities for example Yajur Veda mantra 40/8 says God is everywhere, He has no shape. Upanishads says 'TAD SRISHTA TADNU PRAVISHT' means God created Universe & entered therein. All the four Vedas say about the God, in Yajur Veda chapter 32/3 "The Formless Supreme Spirit that pervades the universe can have no material representation, likeness or image." In Rig Veda Mandal 10 sukta 129 " God creates but nobody create God" and Rig Veda 5:1:81 says "Verily, great is the glory of the divine creator" and Atharva Veda 20:58:3 says " God is verily great" In Sanskrit Brahma means "The Creator" translated into Arabic means "Khaaliq" and Creator in English. According to Quran (15:86) "Your Lord is the Creator, the knower" and in (6:10) " HE is the Creator of the heaven and earth." So, Worship of one God alone is mentioned in Veda for example Rigveda 8:1:1 "O friends, do not worship anybody but Him, the Divine One. Praise Him alone". These four Vedas also talks about the prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in [Sama Veda II: 6,8] [Rigveda Book I, Hymn 53 verse 9] [Rig Veda V, 27, Mantra 1] and in [Kuntap Sukt, Atharva Veda, Mantra 3] details are coming below.
Unfortunately, the knowledge of the Vedas have been stopped to be listened during the last five thousand years, that is why, the worship of only one God is not being done. During the materialistic period this traditional task has been ear marked tough by mostly saints & public under the influence of so-called saints. For-example Tulsi says in Ramayan "DWIJ SHRUTI BECHAK" i.e., present Gurus have sold Vedas means they never study Vedas & do know nothing about Vedas. In the next saying "SHRUTI BIRODH RAT SAB NAR NARI" means man, woman & their children have taken bold steps against the Vedas. Up to the time of Mahabharta there was no temple. Thereafter, the knowledge of Vedas decreased & between two to three thousands years the temple has been made. The books (Mahabharta & Bhagwat Geeta etc) came after the Vedas have been described and explained on the basis of sects or self made views of present so called saints, whereas the Vedas were written by ancient Rishis. After MAHABHARAT war the knowledge of Vedas did minimize and almost came to an end, and therefore, so many sects and way of worship came in existence. So, the reason of the temples and murti is only due to the decrease and little knowledge of Vedas, for the last about three thousands years, because before this period there was no temple. Temple provision is only in the sects made by Pundits and not in the Vedas. So when there was the knowledge of Vedas, only one God was worshiped. This is how religion given in the Vedas changed or converted into Hinduism by the Pundits, Brahmins and so called saints.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MUSLIM AND HINDU
The difference between Muslim and Hindu belief is the perception of God. The common Hindu consider everything as God like tree, sun, moon, snake and even human beings as manifestation of God. On the contrary, Muslim believe, that everything is God's. In other words everything belongs to God, like tree, sun, moon, snake, human beings and everything in this universe belongs to God. So the main difference between Hindu and Muslim beliefs is that Hindu says everything is God and Muslim says everything is God's. The common Hindu belief in multiple gods while learned Hindus, who are well versed in their scriptures, insist that a Hindu should believe in and worship only one God. Lets take a look some verses about the basic concepts of God in Hindu scriptures with the comparison of Holy Quran.
CONCEPT OF TAUHEED (WORSHIP OF ONE GOD "ALONE") IN HINDU SCRIPTURES
* Qur'an: "Say: He is Allah, The ONE and ONLY. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him." [Al-Qur'an 112:1-4]

I am the only refuge, the ONE true friend; I am the beginning, the staying, and the end of creation; I am the womb and the eternal seed. I am heat; I give and withhold the rain. I am immortality and I am death; I am what is and what is not"[Bhagavad Gita 9:18-19]
* Hindu Scriptures: " O friends, do not worship ANYBODY but Him, the Divine One. Praise Him ALONE."[Rigveda 8:1:1]

* Hindu Scriptures: "That which cannot be seen by the eyes, but by which the eyes see, [Kena Upanishad]
* Hindu Scriptures: "The Formless Supreme Spirit that pervades the universe can have no material representation, likeness or image." -- (Yajur Veda 32:3.)
* Hindu Scriptures: "He is bodiless and pure." [Yajurveda 40:8]
CONCEPT OF SHIRK IN HINDU SCRIPTURES
* Qur'an: "Allah forgives not (The sin of) joining other gods With Him; but He forgives whom He pleases other sins than this: one who joins other gods with Allah, Has strayed far, far away (From the Right)." [4:116]
* Qur'an: "We sent a Messenger to every nation, sayings worship Allah and avoid the idols. Amongst them were some whom Allah guided, and some justly disposed to error,. Travel in the land and see what was the end of those belied (the revelation and the Prophets) "[16:36]
* Hindu Scriptures: "Of Him there are neither parents nor lord." [Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:9]
* Hindu Scriptures: "They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, but those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time" (Yajur Veda 40:9.)
* Hindu Scriptures: "Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures." [Bhagavad Gita 7:20]
THE CONCEPT OF DIVINE CREATOR (GOD) IN HINDU SCRIPTURES
* Qur'an: "Your Lord is the Creator, the knower"(15:86)
* Qur'an: "HE is the Creator of the heaven and earth." (6:10)
* Hindu Scriptures: "God creates but nobody create God." (Rig Veda Mandal 10 sukta 129)
* Hindu Scriptures: "Verily, great is the glory of the Divine Creator." (Rig Veda 5:1:81)
* Hindu Scriptures: "God is verily great" (Atharva Veda 20:58:3)
THE DISBELIEVERS IN HINDU SCRIPTURES
* Qur'an: "Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return (to the path)."[Al-Qur'an 2:18]
* Hindu Scriptures: " There maybe someone who sees the words and yet indeed does not see them; may be another one who hears these words but indeed does not hear them." [Rigveda 10:71:4]
CONCEPT OF KABAH IN HINDU SCRIPTURES
* "Brahma (Abrahim) stayed in this abode which is illumined by heavenly light and covered with Divine blessings. It is the place that gives (spiritual) life to the people and is unconquerable." (Atharva Veda X, 2, Mantra 33)
* "Whether it is built high, its walls are in a straight line or not, but God is seen in every corner of it. He who knows the House of God, knows it because God is remembered there. This abode of the angels has eight circuits and nine gates. It is unconquerable, there is eternal life in it and it is resplendent with Divine light. (Atharva Veda X, 2, Mantras 28 and 31)
The Kabah is not exactly cubical and its sides are not of the same length. The Holy Sanctuary (Haram) of which Ka'abah is at the center remains open day and night throughout the year and it is always filled with people praying and supplicating to Allah (the One True God). Muslims face toward it during prayer forming circle in the Haram (Holy House) and the circle extends out in this manner throughout the planet Earth. The holy sanctuary (Haram) has remained unconquerable. Abraha al-Ashram, the Abbysinian viceroy of Yemen, tried to demolish it in 570 CE with a strong army and hordes of Elephants. By Allah's Command, the 'Abaabeel' (flying creatures, birds) pelted stones at Abraha's army and decimated it, leaving them like green crops devoured by cattle. This incident is described in the Surah 105 of the Qur'an.
PROPHECY OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PBUH) IN HINDU SCRIPTURES
The Quran informs us that, prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is not only Warner for one nation but, for the whole mankind, it further informs that, the prophecy of Muhammad (PBUH) was foretold in the previous Scriptures revealed on different nations.
* " Blessed is He who has sent down the Criterion to His worshiper (Prophet Muhammad), that he is a Warner to all mankind." (25:1)
* "We sent thee not but as a Mercy for all the creatures" (21:107)
* "We sent thee not but as a bringer of good tidings and a Warner unto all mankind."(34:28)
* "Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures) in the law and the Gospel". (7.157)
According to Hindu belief an Avtar is going to appear in the future, who will be the final Avtar and he will be bless for all mankind and kill the evil. There are several indications and specifications have been predicted and mentioned about the Avtar. And all these specifications and indications 100% fit on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). No other Avtar in the future can be fit on these specifications, because all the incidents which have been mentioned about the coming of Avtar have already been passed through with the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). So these incidents cannot be repeat again. So it is useless to wait for the Avtar in the future. Following, are some of the major details of Kalki Avtar with the detail reference from the life history of Prophet Muhammd (PBUH).
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.
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 Sanskrit word "Vaishnuvesh & Soomati" in Arabic language it will be "Abdullah & Amina". So again the difference of language.
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 of peace. 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 means servant or BHAGAT and man, Vaishnuvesh mean God's servant or God's devotee and in Arabic language ABDULLAH has the same meanings.
BRAHMIN MAHANT mean religious saint and Makkah's religious and respectable saint was "Hasham", then "Mutlib", then Hasham's son "Abdul Mutlib" became the religious saint of Makkah, who was the grand father of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and during the period of religious saint Muhammad was born in home of Abdullah son of Abdul Mutlib. In short, Muhammad was born in the respectable tribe of Quraish who enjoyed great respect and high place in Makkah. So according to scripture Kalki Avtar will be born in Brahmin Mahant's (religious saint) respectable family.
DATE OF BIRTH OF KALKI AVTAR
* He will be born in the month of Bisakh on 12th day (Kalki Puran Adhay 2, Shloka 15)
Baisakh is famous month in Hindi, which is still known with this name. According to Hindi calendar Muhammad was born on 12th Baisakh of 628 Bakrami, and this day according to Arabic calendar is 12th Rabiyyyul Awwal. So the date of birth matches with Kalki Avtar.
THE PERIOD OF KALKI AVTAR
* Kalki Avtar would ride horse, camel and keep the sword to kill the devil and enemies of religion.
It mean that Kalki Avtar will be born in the past time when horse and camel were used for riding and sword was being used for fight. And in this period and in the coming future people will use cars, train & planes for riding and guns, missiles will be use for fighting. So it is now useless to wait for Avtar in future. We should not forget that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was borne during the time of horse & camel, and he fought with sword during battles against infidels.
DEATH OF KALKI AVTAR'S PARENTS
* Kalki Avtar's Father will die before his birth and his Mother will die after few years of his birth. (Kalki Puran, Bhaghwat Puran Khand 12)
These two indications clearly fit on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). His Father died few days earlier of his birth and his Mother died when Muhammad was only six year old. For reference please study the life history of prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
KALKI AVTAR WILL GET WISDOM ON A MOUNTAIN
* According to Kalki Puran, the Kalki Avtar will receive wisdom or knowledge on a mountain's cave from PERSHURAM (angle).
As every one knows that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was busy in his pray in a cave of mountain "HIRA" and there one day an Angle (Gabriel) appeared and brought the first revelation from God. For reference Holy Quran (96:1) "Read (Prophet Muhammad) with the name of Allah" and he replied " I am not learned" the same indication was given in the Christian's scripture (Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12) " and the book delivered to him that is not learned, saying " Read this", I pray thee: and he said, I am not learned", this is another prove of his prophecy. So prophet Muhammad received his first revelation in the cave of mountain HIRA. And this prediction also fit on him.
PREACHING, IRRITATION, MIGRATION AND RETURN TO HIS CITY
* It is further written in the kalki Puran that " Kalki avtar will start his preaching from the city SHAMBHAL GARAM (Makkah: city of peace) which is situated in SALAM DEEP (Jazeeratul Arab), but people of that city will be against him and irritate him, so he will migrate to another city (Madina) which will be covered with mountains. Then after few years, he will be returned to his city with sword and conquer the city and the whole country."
This prediction also fit on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He started his preaching from Makkah (city of peace), which is situated in Jazeeratul Arab (salam deep), when people of Makkah tried to irritate him he migrated towards the city covered with mountains (Madina) with his companions. And after few years he came back with sword and his 10,000 companions and conquered the city Makkah and after that the whole Arab. For reference please study life history of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and this incidence is famous with the name of " Fateh Makkah" in the Islamic history.
A FLYING HORSE FROM GOD
* He will receive a flying horse from God, which will be faster than lightning. Riding it he will go around earth and seven skies" (Bhagwat Puran Khand 12, Adhay 2, Shloka19-20)
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 Muhammad (PBUH) regarding Incidence of Miraj. According to these references Prophet Muhammad traveled the seven skies and there he met with previous Prophets, and for this God gave him a horse name BARQ which mean lightning and word Miraj mean height and ladder. Please study life history of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for details.
SPLITTING OF MOON
* According to the scripture Kalki Avtaar will split the moon.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed this miracle 1,400 ago. For reference see Holy Quran (54:1-3) "The hour drew night and moon rend (split) in twain ..." For more details about moon splitting please study the hadiths of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) (Volume 4, book 56, number 830-832 and volume 5, book 58, number 209-211) According to these hadiths" the people of Makkah asked Allah's Apostle to show a miracle (sign of his Prophecy). So he showed them the moon split in two halves between which they saw the Hiram Mountain"
There is an interesting tradition in India. Bhoj was an Indian king, there is still city Bhoj on his name in the territory of Kachh (Gujrat). Raja was born after so many years of Bhavish Puran during the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). One night he saw moon splitting in two, he asked the Pundits, they studied the Vedas and Puranas, and told the king that this is the miracle of last prophet, when king asked the signs or descriptions of the Prophet, they told," He will be from the city of peace (Makkah) and will be born in the house of a religious saint, his name will be "Narashansah" (praise one: Muhammad in Arabic), he will have four Khulafa and have 12 wifes ". In search of Narashansah, he came to know that he appeared in Makkah. He met with him and embraced Islam at the hand of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and prophet gave him the name Abdullah, when he came back to home his family did not accept him. He spend his whole life in remembering Prophet and in worship of one God. For reference (Dr. Kamala Kant Tewari's book "Kalyuge Ke Antim Rishi" Page5, he took this from Pundit Dharm Ved Apadhye's book "Antim Ishwar Doot" page 97). So Raja was the first Indian who embraced Islam.
ANGELS WILL HELP HIM DURING WAR
* Kalki Avtar will be helped by angels during war. (Kalki Puran Adhay 2, Shloka 7)
This prediction also fit on prophet Muhammad (PBUH), when during the battle of UHAD, BADR etc. God sent His Angels for his help. For reference see Holy Quran (3:123,124,125) "And Allah must assuredly helped you at Badr when you were mortified, therefore fear Allah, in order that you will give thanks to Him. When you said to the believers, is it not enough for you that your Lord should reinforce you with three thousand (3,000) angels sent down upon you? Rather, if you have patience and cautions, and they suddenly come against you, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand (5,000) angles"
Holy Quran (9:25) " Allah has helped you on many a battlefield ..."
FOUR COMPANIONS OF KALKI AVTAR
* Kalki Avtar with his four companions or will kill the evil. (Kaiki Puran.Adhay 2,Shloka5)
There were four companions or helpers of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who helped him in spreading Islam. Their names are Umar (ra), Abu Bakr (ra), Usman (ra) and Ali (ra). After death of Prophet these companions ruled the country and practically imposed the religion. They are known as Khulafa - e - Rashideen in Islamic history. So this prediction also fit on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
KALKI AVTAR WILL BE THE LAST AVTAR
* There are 24 main Prophet, but Kalki Avtar will be the last one, who will be the end (seal) of all Prophets. (Bhagwat Puran Partham Khand Adhay 3, Shloka 25)
No Prophet except Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has declared him as the last Prophet and it is the faith of every Muslim that Prophet Muhammad is the last Prophet and no Prophet will come after him. God Himself declared Muhammad (PBUH) as the last Prophet. For reference see (Holy Quran 33.40) " he (Muhammad) is the messenger of Allah and the Seal of Prophets, and Allah is aware of all things .." and in another place God says, " .. This day I have perfected your religion for you and completed my favor to you. I have approved Islam to be your religion ..." (5.3)
Another interesting thing is that, in the Holy Quran there are 25 Prophets mentioned by name including Prophet Ahmed (Muhammad) himself, so there were 24 main Prophets before Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). So these two predictions also fit on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
TULSI DAAS AND DESCRIPTIONS OF KALKI AVTAR
A famous religious Scholar "TULSI DAAS" presents his conclusion in his book "RAMAYAN", which contains the story of Shri Ram. In this book he discussed and concluded the predictions and indications, which are mentioned in " Sangram Puran" kand 12, Adheyae6.
* "Here I will not favored anyone, I will say only that which Sadhu and Sants have said in the light of Vedas& Purans."
* "He will born in 7th Century of Bakrami and with the light of his 4 Sun, he will be appeared in the great darkness."
Muhammad (PBUH) was born on 12th Baisakh of 628 (7th Century) Bakrami and 4 Sun referred to four Khalifas, as mentioned above.
* "And he will preach his religion with wisdom and he will give good news and forbid too."
This prediction also fit on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for reference see Holy Quran (33:45,46,47) "O Prophet! LO! WE have sent thee as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a Warner. And as a summoner unto Allah by His permission, and as a Lamp that give light. And announce unto the believers the good tidings (good news) they will have great bounty from Allah."
* "He will have 4 respected Khalifas."
As their name have been mentioned above, Umar, Abu Bakr, Usman & Ali, known as Khulafa - e - Rashedeen in Islamic history.
* "And when he and his religion will be appeared then, there will be no refuge with out Muhammad (PBUH)"
To understand the refuge of Muhammad please see Holy Quran (4.13-14) "... he who obey Allah and His messenger (Muhammad), He will admit him to Gardens underneath which rivers flow that is a great wining. And he who disobey Allah and His messenger (Muhammad) and transgress His Bounds; he will admit him to a fire and shall live in it forever. For him, there is a humiliating punishment." And further in Holy Quran (3.132) "Obey Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad) in order to be subjected to mercy."
* "He will be match less and there will be no likeness to him, Tulsi Daas is what ever saying is pet and true."
According to Quran (68:4) "And thou (standest) on an exalted standard of character." And ("Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah, a beautiful pattern (of conduct)"(33:21).
* "The stair of 10,000 years Prophecy will be completed, then no one will get this Prophecy.
As explained above (Holy Quran 33:40) " he (Muhammad) is the messenger of Allah and the Seal of Prophets, and Allah is aware of all things .."
* "A star will shine on the Land of Arab and that land will be very respectable and glorified."
When all Arabs were is great darkness Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) appeared like a star with the light of Holy Quran.
* "He will show miracles and will be called as friend of God.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed many miracles. One of them was miracle of moon splitting as mentioned above.
SOME MORE CLEAR INDICATIONS OF KALKI AVTAR
Following are some more and clear indications from Bhovishya Puran: Prati Sarg, Part III:3,3, 5-27 about Kalki Avtar, which clearly fit by name Muhammad & Ahmed and referred to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
NAME AND PLACE OF KALKI AVTAR
* "A malechha (belonging to a foreign country and speaking foreign language) spiritual teacher will appear with his companions. His name will be MAHAMMAD. Raja (Bhoj) after giving this Mahadev Arab (of angelic disposition) a bath in the 'Panchgavya' and the Ganges water, (i.e. purging him of all sins) offered him the presents of his sincere devotion and showing him all reverence said, 'I make obeisance to thee.' 'O Ye! The pride of mankind, ("Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah, a beautiful pattern (of conduct)"[Al-Qur'an 33:21].) the dweller in Arabia, (The Sanskrit word Marusthal means a sandy track of land or a desert.) Ye have collected a great force to kill the Devil and you yourself have been protected from the malechha opponents (idol worshipers, pagans).' 'O Ye! The image of the Most Pious God the biggest Lord, I am a slave to thee, take me as one lying on thy feet.'.." (Bhovishya Puran)
* "The Malechhas have spoiled the well-known land of the Arabs. Arya Dharma is not to be found in that country. (Bhovishya Puran)
The name of the Avtar clearly mentioned as "Mahammad" and no other Prophet had this name except Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) the last Prophet. It is further clear that Kalki Avtar will be not from the land of India. Rather, he will be from the land of Arab and in Arab there was only Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) born. It is also clear that Aryan religion was only found in India, not in Arabia. The Prophet did not physically take a bath in the Panchgavya and the water of Ganges. Since the water of Ganges is considered holy, taking bath in the Ganges is an idiom, which means washing away sins or immunity from all sorts of sins. Here the prophecy implies that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was sinless, i.e. Maasoom.
* "Before also there appeared a misguided fiend whom I had killed [note: e.g., Abraha Al-Ashram, the Abyssinian viceroy of Yemen, who attacked Makkah]; he has now again appeared being sent by a powerful enemy. To show these enemies the right path and to give them guidance the well-known MAHAMAD (Mohammad), who has been given by me the epithet of Brahma is busy in bringing the Pishachas to the right path. O Raja! You need not go to the land of the foolish Pishachas, you will be purified through my kindness even where you are". (Bhovishya Puran)
MEAT & LAWFUL THING EATER, BEARD KEEPER AND ANOUNCING FOR PRAYER (ADAN)
* "At night, he of the angelic disposition, the shrewd man, in the guise of a Pishacha said to Raja Bhoj, "O Raja! Your Arya Dharma has been made to prevail over all religions, but according to the commandments of 'Ishwar Parmatma (God, Supreme Spirit), I shall enforce the strong creed of the meat-eaters." (Bhovishya Puran)
It is also clear that Kalki Avtar will be meat eater, while in Hindu Dhama meat eating is prohibited. So it is clear that Kalki Avtar will not be from Hindu Dharma. Some people may argue that 'Raja' Bhoj mentioned in the prophecy lived in the 11th century C.E. 500 years after the advent of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and was the descendant in the 10th generation of Raja Shalivahan. These people fail to realise that there was not only one Raja of the name Bhoj. The Egyptian Monarchs were called as Pharaoh and the Roman Kings were known as Caesar, similarly the Indian Rajas were given the title of Bhoj. There were several Raja Bhoj who came before the one in 11th Century C.E.)
* "My follower will be a man circumcised, without a tail (on his head), keeping beard, creating a revolution, announcing call for prayer (Adan) and will be eating all lawful things. He will eat all sorts of animals except swine". (Bhovishya Puran)
In Hindu Dharam Pundits or Brahmins keeps the tail on their heads, while according to Hindu Scripture Kalki will be without tail and on the contrary, he will be keeping the beard, it is well known that it is the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to keep the beard. And only in Islam, Muslims call for prayer during their Adan before Namaz (prayer). In Islam all lawful things and animals are allowed or Halal, while, swine or pork is prohibited (Haram) by God. According to Quran (5.88) "Eat of the lawful and good things, which Allah has provided you." And (2.173) "He has forbidden you the dead blood, and the flesh of swine")
KALKI AVTAR WILL BE MUSLIM
* "They will not seek purification from the holy shrubs, but will be purified through warfare (Jihad). Because of their fighting the irreligious nations, they will be known as Musalmans (Muslims). I shall be the originator of this religion of the meat-eating nation." (Bhovishya Puran)
This indication has clearly proved that the Kalki Avtar is none other than Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), because the Nation or Ummah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is known as Muslims or Musalman.
RELIGIOUS LAW
* "AHMAD acquired religious Law (Shariah) from his Lord. This religious Law is full of wisdom. I receive light from him just as from the Sun.."[Sama Veda II:6,8]
* The Sanskrit word used is Sushrama, which means praiseworthy or well praised which in Arabic means Muhammad (PBUH). [Rigveda Book I, Hymn 53 verse 9]
Another name of Prophet Muhammad is AHMED, no other prophet had this name except prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as Prophet Esa (PBUH) also gave the indication of a Messenger to his nation, who will come after him and his name will be AHMED. According to Quran (61.6)"And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said, 'O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me and giving glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name shall be AHMED.' But when he came to them with clear signs, they said, 'this is evident sorcery!" (61.6) Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave the Islamic Law of SHARIAH. According to Quran (34.28) " We have sent thee but as a universal (Messenger) to men, giving them glad tidings and warning them (against sin), but most men understand not."
KALKI WILL BE CAMEL RIDER AND 60,090 ENEMIES
* "He is Narashansah or the praised one (Muhammad). He is Kaurama: the prince of peace or the emigrant, who is safe, even amongst a host of 60,090 enemies. He is a camel-riding Rishi, whose chariot touches the heaven". [Atharvaveda book 20 Hymn 127 verses 1-13]
The Sanskrit word Narashansah means 'the praised one', which is the literal translation of the Arabic word Muhammad (PBUH). The Sanskrit word Kaurama means 'one who spreads and promotes peace'. The holy Prophet was the 'Prince of Peace' and he preached equality of human kind and universal brotherhood. Kaurama also means an emigrant. The Prophet migrated from Makkah to Madinah and was thus also an Emigrant. He will be protected from 60,090 enemies, which was the population of Makkah. The Prophet would ride a camel. This clearly indicates that it cannot be an Indian Rishi, This mantra gave the Rishi's name as Mamah. No rishi in India or another Prophet had this name Mamah that is derived from Mah, which means to esteem highly, or to revere, to exalt, etc. Some Sanskrit books give the Prophet's name as 'Mohammad'. According to Buddhism, Buddha said " I am not the only Buddha after me, at appropriate time a great Buddah will come and his name will be "MAITREYA" which means love, kindness, compassion, mercy etc. The Arabic for mercy is rehmet. RAHMAT is the title given to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the Holy Quran (21:07) "Rahmatan lil Alameen" Mercy unto the worlds. Buddha further said, "He will migrate from his homeland" (Makkah to Madinah).
TEN THOUSAND COMPANIONS OF KALKI AVTAR
* "The wagon-possessor, the truthful and truth loving, extremely wise, powerful and generous, Mamah [Mohammad] has favored me with his words. The son of the All-powerful, possessing all good attributes, the mercy for the worlds has become famous with ten thousand [companions]". [Rig Veda V, 27, Mantra 1]
The ten thousands Saints refer to the ten thousands companions who accompanied the Prophet (PBUH) when he entered Makkah during Fateh Makkah which was a unique victory in the history of mankind in which there was no blood shed.
HUNDRED GOLD COINS AND TEN CHAPLETS OF KALKI AVTAR
* "He gave the Mamah Rishi a hundred gold coins, ten chaplets, three hundred steeds and ten thousand cows". [Kuntap Sukt, Atharva Veda, Mantra 3]
He is given 100 gold coins, which refers to the believers and the earlier companions of the Prophet during his turbulent Makkan life. Later on due to persecution they migrated from Makkah to Abysinia. Later when Prophet migrated to Madinah all of them joined him in Madinah.
The 10 chaplets or necklaces were the 10 best companions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) known as Ashra-Mubbashshira (10 bestowed with good news).
300 good steeds (horses of Arab Breed) refer to those companions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who fought at BADR. (Their actual number was 313; however, in many prophecies the numbers are usually rounded up.)
The Sanskrit word Go is derived from Gaw, which means 'to go to war'. A cow is also called Go and is a symbol of war as well as peace. The 10,000 cows refer to the 10,000 companions who accompanied the Prophet (PBUH) when he entered Makkah during Fateh Makkah.
THE CONCLUSION
The above references from the Hindu Scriptures prove that Hindus were foretold about the worship of one God and were also foretold about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in their Holy Scriptures. But, they denied their Holy Scriptures and invented their own rules and regulations in the religion, and changed their religion according to their own materialistic and vain desires and made idols (images) of gods and their Avtars Ram & Karishana etc, and worshipped them as God. This is, how true religions of Vedas converted in to man-made religion (Hinduism).
With the above facts references from the Vedas & other Hindu Scriptures, it is possible that, Hindu Pundits and Brahmins might have changed the true concepts given in the Vedas into Hinduism as Christians have changed the true religion (Islam) of Jesus (PBUH) into Christianity.
The thing which is needed to do is that, Muslim scholars should take steps to preach the Hindus not only with the reference of Holy Quran but, with the fact references from their own Hindu Scriptures. According to whom worship of one God is allowed, so they should discard idol and murti worship and worship only one God according to their Scriptures. Secondly, the Kalki Avtar (Coming Prophet) which has been mentioned by name "Muhammad" & "Ahmed" in their Scriptures and all the indications about his Prophet hood mentioned in their Scriptures have been gone through and completed 1,400 years before, with the advent of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the religious law (The Quran) has been revealed on him. So, now it is the religious duty of each Hindu to accept Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as their last Avtar (Prophet), and the Quran as their last revealed Scripture and embrace ISLAM the religion of their last Avtar (Prophet) which has been chosen, perfected and authorized by his one God and become Muslim. Because according to Holy Quran:-
* "This day I have perfected your religion for you and completed my favor to you. I have approved Islam to be your religion ..." (5.3).
* "Allah has chosen for you the religion. Do not die except being Submissive (Muslim) (2.132)
* "It is HE who has been sent His Messenger with guidance the religion of truth (Islam), so that exalts it above all other religions. Allah is the sufficient witness" (48:28)
* "The only religion with Allah is Islam (submission) (3:19)
* "He who chooses a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him and in the everlasting life he will be among the losers" (3:85)
So, Islam is the only religion chosen and approved by God and Islam supersedes and suppress all the other religions, because no other religion will be accepted except Islam. So Hindus leave your obstinacy, which has become obstacle for you, use your wisdom & intellect and courage, do not be among the losers and embrace Islam as your religion. After these arguments, there will be no excuse for Hindus to accept Islam. I hope Muslim scholars will find and get positive answer, because natural and psychological instinct is still working unconsciously in the minds of Hindu as it was working before. It will certainly be a great achievement for the Muslim scholars.

7 kali pergi buat Haji tapi tak nampak Kaabah
Sebagai seorang anak yang berbakti kepada orang tuanya, Hasan (bukan nama sebenarnya), mengajak ibunya untuk menunaikan rukun Islam yang kelima. Sarah (juga bukan nama sebenarnya), sang Ibu, tentu senang dengan ajakan anaknya itu. Sebagai muslim yang mampu secara material,mereka memang berkewajiban menunaikan ibadah Haji. Segala kelengkapan sudah disiapkan.
Ibu anak-anak ini akhirnya berangkat ke tanah suci. Keadaan keduanya sihat walafiat, tak kurang satu apapun. Tiba harinya mereka melakukan thawaf dengan hati dan niat ikhlas menyeru panggilan Allah, Tuhan Semesta Alam. "Labaik Allahuma labaik, aku datang memenuhi seruanMu ya Allah".
Hasan menggandeng ibunya dan berbisik, "Ummi undzur ila Ka'bah (Bu, lihatlah Ka'bah)." Hasan menunjuk kepada bangunan empat persegi berwarna hitam itu. Ibunya yang berjalan di sisi anaknya tak beraksi dia terdiam. Perempuan itu sama sekali tidak melihat apa yang ditunjukkan oleh anaknya.
Hasan kembali membisiki ibunya. Ia tampak bingung melihat raut wajah ibunya. Di wajah ibunya tampak kebingungan. Ibunya sendiri tak mengerti mengapa ia tak bisa melihat apapun selain kegelapan. Beberapakali ia mengusap-usap matanya, tetapi kembali yang tampak hanyalah kegelapan.
Padahal, tak ada masalah dengan kesihatan matanya. Beberapa minit yang lalu dia masih melihat segalanya dengan jelas, tapi mengapa memasuki Masjidil Haram segalanya menjadi gelap gulita. Tujuh kali Haji Anak yang sholeh itu bersimpuh di hadapan Allah. Ia shalat memohon ampunan-Nya. Hati Hasan begitu sedih. Siapapun yang datang ke Baitulah, mengharap rahmatNYA.Terasa hampa menjadi tamu Allah, tanpa menyaksikan segala kebesaran-Nya, tanpa merasakan kuasa-Nya dan juga rahmat-Nya.
Hasan tidak berkecil hati, mungkin dengan ibadah dan taubatnya yang sungguh-sungguh, Ibundanya akan dapat merasakan anugerah-Nya, dengan menatap Ka'bah, kelak. Anak yang soleh itu berniat akan kembali membawa ibunya berhaji tahun depan. Ternyata nasib baik belum berpihak kepadanya. Tahun berikutnya kejadian serupa terulang lagi. Ibunya kembali dibutakan di dekat Ka'abah, sehingga tak dapat menyaksikan bangunan yang merupakan simbol persatuan umat Islam itu. Wanita itu tidak dapat melihat Ka'bah. Hasan tidak patah arang. Ia kembali membawa ibunya ke tanah suci tahun berikutnya. Anehnya, ibunya tetap saja tak dapat melihat Ka'bah. Setiap berada di Masjidil Haram, yang tampak di matanya hanyalah gelap dan gelap.
Begitulah keganjilan yang terjadi pada diri Sarah. hingga kejadian itu berulang sampai tujuh kali menunaikan ibadah haji.Hasan tak habis fikir, dia tak mengerti, apa yang menyebabkan ibunya menjadi buta di depan Ka'bah. Padahal, setiap kali berada jauh dari Ka'bah, penglihatannya selalu normal. Dia bertanya-tanya, apakah ibunya punya kesalahan sehingga mendapat azab dari Allah SWT? Apa yang telah diperlakukan ibunya, sehingga mendapat musibah seperti itu? Segala pertanyaan berkecamuk dalam dirinya. Akhirnya diputuskannya untuk mencari seorang alim ulama, yang dapat membantu permasalahannya.
Beberapa saat kemudian ia mendengar ada seorang ulama yang terkenal kerana kesohlehannya dan kebaikannya di Abu Dhabi (Uni Emirat). Tanpa kesulitan bererti, Hasan dapat bertemu dengan ulama yang dimaksud. Ia pun mengutarakan masalah kepada ulama yang soleh ini. Ulama itu mendengarkan dengan saksama, kemudian meminta agar Ibu Hasan perlu menelefonnya.Anak yang berbakti ini pun pulang. Setibanya di tanah kelahirannya, dia meminta ibunya untuk menghubungi ulama di Abu Dhabi tersebut.
Beruntung, sang Ibu mau memenuhi permintaan anaknya. Ia pun menelefon ulama itu, dan menceritakan kembali peristiwa yang dialaminya di tanah suci. Ulama itu kemudian meminta Sarah introspeksi, mengingat kembali, mungkin ada perbuatan atau peristiwa yang terjadi padanya di masa lalu, sehingga ia tidak mendapat rahmat Allah. Sarah diminta untuk bersikap terbuka, mengatakan dengan jujur, apa yang telah dilakukannya. "Anda harus berterus-terang kepada saya, karana masalah anda bukan masalah senang," kata ulama itu pada Sarah. Sarah terdiam sejenak. Kemudian dia meminta waktu untuk memikirkannya. Tujuh hari berlalu, akan tetapi ulama itu tidak mendapat sebarang khabar dari Sarah.
Pada minggu kedua setelah percakapan pertama mereka, akhirnya Sarah menelefon. "Ustaz, waktu masih muda, saya bekerja sebagai jururawat di rumah sakit," cerita Sarah akhirnya. "Oh, bagus..... Pekerjaan jururawat adalah pekerjaan mulia," potong ulama itu.
"Tapi saya mencari wang sebanyak-banyaknya dengan berbagai cara, tidak peduli, apakah cara saya itu halal atau haram," ungkapnya terus terang. Ulama itu terkejut. Ia tidak menyangka wanita itu akan berkata demikian.
"Di sana...." sambung Sarah, "Saya sering kali menukar bayi, karana tidak semua ibu senang dengan bayi yang telah dilahirkan. Kalau ada yang menginginkan anak laki-laki, padahal bayi yang dilahirkannya perempuan, dengan imbuhan wang, saya tukar bayi-bayi itu sesuai dengan keinginan mereka."
Ulama tersebut amat terkejut mendengar penjelasan Sarah. "Astagfirullah......" betapa tega wanita itu menyakiti hati para ibu yang diberi amanah Allah untuk melahirkan anak. Bayangkan, betapa banyak keluarga yang telah dirosaknya, sehingga tidak jelas nasabnya. Apakah Sarah tidak tahu, bahawa dalam Islam menjaga nasab atau keturunan sangat penting. Jika seorang bayi ditukar, tentu nasabnya menjadi tidak jelas. Padahal, nasab ini sangat menentukan dalam perkawinan, terutama dalam masalah mahram atau muhrim, iaitu orang-orang yang tidak boleh dinikahi. "Cuma itu yang saya lakukan," ucap Sarah. "Cuma itu ?" tanya ulama terperanjat.
"Tahukah anda bahawa perbuatan anda itu dosa yang luar biasa, betapa banyak keluarga yang sudah anda hancurkan!". ucap ulama dengan nada tinggi."Lalu apa lagi yang Anda kerjakan?" tanya ulama itu lagi sedikit kesal. "Di rumah sakit, saya juga melakukan tugas memandikan orang mati."
"Oh bagus, itu juga pekerjaan mulia," kata ulama. "Ya, tapi saya memandikan orang mati kerana ada kerja sama dengan tukang sihir."
"Maksudnya?" tanya ulama tidak mengerti. "Setiap saya bermaksud menyengsarakan orang, baik membuatnya mati atau sakit, segala perkakas sihir itu sesuai dengan syaratnya, harus dipendam di dalam tanah. Akan tetapi saya tidak menguburnya di dalam tanah, melainkan saya masukkan benda-benda itu ke dalam mulut orang yang mati."
"Suatu kali, pernah seorang alim meninggal dunia. Seperti biasa, saya memasukkan berbagai barang-barang tenung seperti jarum, benang dan lain-lain ke dalam mulutnya. Entah mengapa benda-benda itu seperti terpental, tidak hendak masuk, walaupun saya sudah menekannya dalam-dalam. Benda-benda itu selalu kembali keluar. Saya cuba lagi begitu seterusnya berulang-ulang. Akhirnya, emosi saya memuncak, saya masukkan benda itu dan saya jahit mulutnya. Cuma itu dosa yang saya lakukan." Mendengar pertuturan Sarah yang datar dan tanpa rasa dosa, ulama itu berteriak marah.
"Cuma itu yang kamu lakukan ?". "Masya Allah....!!! Saya tidak dapat bantu anda. Saya angkat tangan". Ulama itu amat sangat terkejutnya mengetahui perbuatan Sarah. Tidak pernah terbayang dalam hidupnya ada seorang manusia, apalagi dia adalah wanita, yang memiliki nurani begitu tega, begitu keji. Tidak pernah terjadi dalam hidupnya, ada wanita yang melakukan perbuatan sekeji itu. Akhirnya ulama itu berkata, "Anda harus memohon ampun kepada Allah, kerana hanya Dialah yang dapat mengampuni dosa Anda."
Bumi menolaknya. Setelah beberapa lama, sekitar tujuh hari kemudian ulama tidak mendengar khabar selanjutnya dari Sarah. Akhirnya ia mendapat tahu dengan menghubunginya melalui telepon. Ia berharap Sarah telah bertaubat atas segala yang telah diperbuatnya. Ia berharap Allah akan mengampuni dosa Sarah, sehingga Rahmat Allah datang kepadanya.Kerana tak juga memperoleh khabar, ulama itu menghubungi keluarga Hasan di Mesir.
Kebetulan yang menerima telepon adalah Hasan sendiri. Ulama menanyakan khabar Sarah,ternyata khabar duka yang diterima ulama itu. "Ummi sudah meninggal dua hari setelah menelefon ustad," ujar Hasan. Ulama itu terkejut mendengar khabar tersebut. "Bagaimana ibumu meninggal, Hasan?". tanya ulama itu.
Hasan pun akhirnya bercerita : Setelah menelefon ulama, dua hari kemudian ibunya jatuh sakit dan meninggal dunia. Yang mengejutkan adalah peristiwa penguburan Sarah. Ketika tanah sudah digali, untuk kemudian dimasukkan jenazah atas izin Allah, tanah itu rapat kembali, tertutup dan mengeras. Para penggali mencari lokasi lain untuk digali. Peristiwa itu berulang kembali. Tanah yang sudah digali kembali menyempit dan tertutup rapat. Peristiwa itu berlangsung begitu cepat, sehingga tidak seorangpun penghantar jenazah yang menyedari bahawa tanah itu kembali rapat.
Peristiwa itu terjadi berulang-ulang. Para penghantar yang menyaksikan peristiwa itu merasa ngeri dan merasakan sesuatu yang aneh terjadi.Mereka yakin, kejadian tersebut pastilah berkaitan dengan perbuatan si mayat. Waktu terus berlalu, para penggali kubur putus-asa kerana pekerjaan mereka tak juga selesai. Siang pun berlalu, petang menjelang, bahkan sampai hampir Maghrib, tidak ada satu pun lubang yang berhasil digali. Mereka akhirnya pasrah, dan beranjak pulang. Jenazah itu dibiarkan saja tergeletak di hamparan tanah kering kerontang.
Sebagai anak yang begitu sayang dan hormat kepada ibunya, Hasan tidak tega meninggalkan jenazah orang tuanya ditempat itu tanpa dikubur. Kalaupun dibawa pulang, rasanya tidak mungkin. Hasan termenung di tanah perkuburan seorang diri. Dengan izin Allah, tiba-tiba berdiri seorang laki-laki yang berpakaian hitam panjang, seperti pakaian khusus orang Mesir. Lelaki itu tidak tampak wajahnya, kerana terhalang tutup kepalanya yang menjorok ke depan. Laki-laki itu mendekati Hasan kemudian berkata padanya, "Biar aku tangani jenazah ibumu, pulanglah!". kata orang itu.
Hasan lega mendengar bantuan orang tersebut, Ia berharap laki-laki itu akan menunggu jenazah ibunya. Syukur-syukur menggali lubang dan kemudian mengebumikan ibunya. "Aku minta supaya kau jangan menengok ke belakang, sampai tiba di rumahmu," pesan lelaki itu. Hasan mengangguk, kemudian ia meninggalkan pemakaman. Belum sempat ia di luar lokasi pemakaman,terselit keinginannya untuk mengetahui apa yang terjadi dengan jenazah ibunya.
Sedetik kemudian ia menengok ke belakang. Betapa pucat wajah Hasan, >melihat jenazah ibunya sudah dililit api, kemudian api itu menyelimuti seluruh tubuh ibunya. Belum habis rasa herannya, sedetik kemudian dari arah yang berlawanan, api menerpa wajah Hasan. Hasan ketakutan.Dengan langkah seribu, dia pun bergegas meninggalkan tempat itu. Demikian yang diceritakan Hasan kepada ulama itu. Hasan juga mengaku, bahwa separuh wajahnya yang tertampar api itu kini berbekas kehitaman kerana terbakar.
Ulama itu mendengarkan dengan seksama semua cerita yang diungkapkan Hasan. Dia menyarankan, agar Hasan segera beribadah dengan khusyuk dan meminta ampun atas segala perbuatan atau dosa-dosa yang pernah dilakukan oleh ibunya. Akan tetapi, ulama itu tidak menceritakan kepada Hasan, apa yang telah diceritakan oleh ibunya kepada ulama itu. Ulama itu meyakinkan Hasan, bahwa apabila anak yang soleh itu memohon ampun dengan sungguh-sungguh, maka bekas luka di pipinya dengan izin Allah akan hilang. Benar saja,tak berapa lama kemudian Hasan kembali memberitahu ulama itu, bahawa lukanya yang dulu amat terasa sakit dan panas luar biasa, semakin hari bekas kehitamannya hilang. Tanpa tahu apa yang telah dilakukan ibunya selama hidup, Hasan tetap mendoakan ibunya. Ia berharap, apapun perbuatan dosa yang telah dilakukan oleh ibunya, akan diampuni oleh Allah SWT.
Ibu anak-anak ini akhirnya berangkat ke tanah suci. Keadaan keduanya sihat walafiat, tak kurang satu apapun. Tiba harinya mereka melakukan thawaf dengan hati dan niat ikhlas menyeru panggilan Allah, Tuhan Semesta Alam. "Labaik Allahuma labaik, aku datang memenuhi seruanMu ya Allah".

Akan tetapi saya tidak menguburnya di dalam tanah, melainkan saya masukkan benda-benda itu ke dalam mulut orang yang mati."
"Suatu kali, pernah seorang alim meninggal dunia. Seperti biasa, saya memasukkan berbagai barang-barang tenung seperti jarum, benang dan lain-lain ke dalam mulutnya. Entah mengapa benda-benda itu seperti terpental, tidak hendak masuk, walaupun saya sudah menekannya dalam-dalam. Benda-benda itu selalu kembali keluar. Saya cuba lagi begitu seterusnya berulang-ulang. Akhirnya, emosi saya memuncak, saya masukkan benda itu dan saya jahit mulutnya. Cuma itu dosa yang saya lakukan." Mendengar pertuturan Sarah yang datar dan tanpa rasa dosa, ulama itu berteriak marah.
"Cuma itu yang kamu lakukan ?". "Masya Allah....!!! Saya tidak dapat bantu anda. Saya angkat tangan". Ulama itu amat sangat terkejutnya mengetahui perbuatan Sarah. Tidak pernah terbayang dalam hidupnya ada seorang manusia, apalagi dia adalah wanita, yang memiliki nurani begitu tega, begitu keji. Tidak pernah terjadi dalam hidupnya, ada wanita yang melakukan perbuatan sekeji itu. Akhirnya ulama itu berkata, "Anda harus memohon ampun kepada Allah, kerana hanya Dialah yang dapat mengampuni dosa Anda."
Bumi menolaknya. Setelah beberapa lama, sekitar tujuh hari kemudian ulama tidak mendengar khabar selanjutnya dari Sarah. Akhirnya ia mendapat tahu dengan menghubunginya melalui telepon. Ia berharap Sarah telah bertaubat atas segala yang telah diperbuatnya. Ia berharap Allah akan mengampuni dosa Sarah, sehingga Rahmat Allah datang kepadanya.Kerana tak juga memperoleh khabar, ulama itu menghubungi keluarga Hasan di Mesir.
Kebetulan yang menerima telepon adalah Hasan sendiri. Ulama menanyakan khabar Sarah,ternyata khabar duka yang diterima ulama itu. "Ummi sudah meninggal dua hari setelah menelefon ustad," ujar Hasan. Ulama itu terkejut mendengar khabar tersebut. "Bagaimana ibumu meninggal, Hasan?". tanya ulama itu.
Hasan pun akhirnya bercerita : Setelah menelefon ulama, dua hari kemudian ibunya jatuh sakit dan meninggal dunia. Yang mengejutkan adalah peristiwa penguburan Sarah. Ketika tanah sudah digali, untuk kemudian dimasukkan jenazah atas izin Allah, tanah itu rapat kembali, tertutup dan mengeras. Para penggali mencari lokasi lain untuk digali. Peristiwa itu berulang kembali. Tanah yang sudah digali kembali menyempit dan tertutup rapat. Peristiwa itu berlangsung begitu cepat, sehingga tidak seorangpun penghantar jenazah yang menyedari bahawa tanah itu kembali rapat.
Peristiwa itu terjadi berulang-ulang. Para penghantar yang menyaksikan peristiwa itu merasa ngeri dan merasakan sesuatu yang aneh terjadi.Mereka yakin, kejadian tersebut pastilah berkaitan dengan perbuatan si mayat. Waktu terus berlalu, para penggali kubur putus-asa kerana pekerjaan mereka tak juga selesai. Siang pun berlalu, petang menjelang, bahkan sampai hampir Maghrib, tidak ada satu pun lubang yang berhasil digali. Mereka akhirnya pasrah, dan beranjak pulang. Jenazah itu dibiarkan saja tergeletak di hamparan tanah kering kerontang.
Sebagai anak yang begitu sayang dan hormat kepada ibunya, Hasan tidak tega meninggalkan jenazah orang tuanya ditempat itu tanpa dikubur. Kalaupun dibawa pulang, rasanya tidak mungkin. Hasan termenung di tanah perkuburan seorang diri. Dengan izin Allah, tiba-tiba berdiri seorang laki-laki yang berpakaian hitam panjang, seperti pakaian khusus orang Mesir. Lelaki itu tidak tampak wajahnya, kerana terhalang tutup kepalanya yang menjorok ke depan. Laki-laki itu mendekati Hasan kemudian berkata padanya, "Biar aku tangani jenazah ibumu, pulanglah!". kata orang itu.
Hasan lega mendengar bantuan orang tersebut, Ia berharap laki-laki itu akan menunggu jenazah ibunya. Syukur-syukur menggali lubang dan kemudian mengebumikan ibunya. "Aku minta supaya kau jangan menengok ke belakang, sampai tiba di rumahmu," pesan lelaki itu. Hasan mengangguk, kemudian ia meninggalkan pemakaman. Belum sempat ia di luar lokasi pemakaman,terselit keinginannya untuk mengetahui apa yang terjadi dengan jenazah ibunya.
Sedetik kemudian ia menengok ke belakang. Betapa pucat wajah Hasan, >melihat jenazah ibunya sudah dililit api, kemudian api itu menyelimuti seluruh tubuh ibunya. Belum habis rasa herannya, sedetik kemudian dari arah yang berlawanan, api menerpa wajah Hasan. Hasan ketakutan.Dengan langkah seribu, dia pun bergegas meninggalkan tempat itu. Demikian yang diceritakan Hasan kepada ulama itu. Hasan juga mengaku, bahwa separuh wajahnya yang tertampar api itu kini berbekas kehitaman kerana terbakar.
Ulama itu mendengarkan dengan seksama semua cerita yang diungkapkan Hasan. Dia menyarankan, agar Hasan segera beribadah dengan khusyuk dan meminta ampun atas segala perbuatan atau dosa-dosa yang pernah dilakukan oleh ibunya. Akan tetapi, ulama itu tidak menceritakan kepada Hasan, apa yang telah diceritakan oleh ibunya kepada ulama itu. Ulama itu meyakinkan Hasan, bahwa apabila anak yang soleh itu memohon ampun dengan sungguh-sungguh, maka bekas luka di pipinya dengan izin Allah akan hilang. Benar saja,tak berapa lama kemudian Hasan kembali memberitahu ulama itu, bahawa lukanya yang dulu amat terasa sakit dan panas luar biasa, semakin hari bekas kehitamannya hilang. Tanpa tahu apa yang telah dilakukan ibunya selama hidup, Hasan tetap mendoakan ibunya. Ia berharap, apapun perbuatan dosa yang telah dilakukan oleh ibunya, akan diampuni oleh Allah SWT.
Penggunaan "Masya Allah"
Pengunaan "Masyaallah" dlm percakapan seharian. Kadang-kadang kita terpengaruh dengan movie, terutama citer P Ramlee yang banyak menggunakan "Masya Allah" dalam situasi yang silap. Bayangkan jika anda forwardkan kepada sahabat-sahabat lain, pahala akan terus berganda macam juga buat selling-networking, cuma in this case, pahala yang
berganda bukan duit which to someone money is the number one in his/her life.
Saya dapati ramai di kalangan kita menggunakan lafaz "Masya Allah" ketika berhadapan dengan situasi yang tidak disukai atau tidak elok, contoh ketika terlihat gambar-gambar censored atau bila anak-anak kita buat perangai nakal.
Sebenarnya istilah "Masya Allah" bermaksud ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY atau ALLAH YANG MAHA AGUNG. Mengikut buku "What Do Say" by Kathyn Abdullah, kita menggunakan istilah "MasyaaAllah" bila kita melihat "something nice" seperti melihat bayi/kanak-kanak yg comel, ketika menjamah makanan yang sedap, terbau wangi-wangian dan sebagainya.
Jadi pengunaan Masya Allah ketika berhadapan dgn situasi yang tidak elok adalah salah dan tidak digalakkan. Yang patut kita lafaz ialah "Astagfirrullahhalazim" (Aku memohon ampun kepadamu Ya Allah) ataupun "Innalillah" (Kepada Allah kita kembali).

4 Things You Probably Never Knew Your Mobile Phone Could Do
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:
FIRST
Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
SECOND
Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock.. Saves someone from having to
drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!"
THIRD
Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.
FOURTH
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
