Re: Is Bible Corrupted?
The Muslims also claim that mohammad's advent was foretold in Hindu scriptures.
Actually Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was foretold in the Hindu scriptures.
MIRACLE:
This event is proved on the basis of Mutawatir and famous Ahadith given in "Sahihain" and other authentic books of Ahadith that Abu Jahl, Waleed bin Mughirah and A'as bin Qail gathered together in Makkah and out the question to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): "If you are true, tear the moon into two parts." Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said to them: "If I do that, will you believe in my prophethood?" All of them replied in the positive. Thus, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) prayed to Allah Almighty to make thw moon into two parts. His prayer was accepted by Allah Almighty. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) ponited towards the moon and it turned into two parts. The Prophet (pbuh) called each of the desbelievers by name to be a witness to this event. All the people saw very well the two parts of the moon. Both that parts were apart from each other and in between them was visisble the green mountain.
On that, the believers said: "It is merely magic". Abu Jahl said: "We shall further make enquiry in this matter. If it is magic, it can be played on us alone. The people who are not present here and are in other cities and countries, they cannot be affected by this nagic, therefore, we must make enquiry in this matter from the people who come to this land from outside." Thus whenever the people came from far away places, they were asked about the turning of the oon into two parts. All of them confessed that they, too, had seen the moon turning into two parts. This miracle of the Prophet (pbuh) is so great that a few verses were revealed in the Holy Qur'an in this regard: "The Hour (of Judgement) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder. But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, 'this is (but) transient magic." [Surah al-Qamar: 1-2]
Now, this matter is not only impossible but it did happen, also. And the condition of the sky and the whole universe can undergo a change but the condition of the disbelievers is very strange, who believe in idol-worship, etc, which is against the rationale; but if there appears a true miracle or sign, they reject it by calling it magic.
This miracle of the Prophet (pbuh) was seen not only in Arabia but it was seen in the whole world, also. It is given in the Tareekh-e-Farishata that when the Raja of Malebar heard this event from the Muslims, he caused an enquiry to be made by the scholars of his religion, reagrding the age in which Allah had commissioned him as a Prophet. So, the scholars and the Brehmans conducted a research of the age of the Prophet (pbuh) accordingly. When they studied the books concerned, turning of the moon into two parts was confirmed and the Raja embraced Islam.
It os written in the book named Savanih-al-Haramain that there has been a city in the province of Malwah near the river Chambal. The Raja of that place was sitting on the roof of his palace. Alll of a suuden, he saw that the moon turned into two parts and after some time, both the parts were joined. He asked the Pandits (Hindu priest) of his court about it. They told him that it is written in their religious books that A Prophet would be born in Arabia and the miracle of turning of the moon to two parts will take place at his hands. Knowing that, the Raja sent his messenger to the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and embraced Islam. The Prophet (pbuh) named that Raja as Abdullah. The grave of that Raja still exists outside the city of dahaar and the people caome to pay visit to it. Maulana Rafi-ud -Din Sahib has also stated this event in his book named Shaqq-al-Qamar with refernce from the book named Tareekh-e-Fazli in which the name of the Raja of Malwa is told as Raja Bhauj. Against the turning of the moon into two parts, the faithless have raised many objections. Mulana Rafi-ud-Din has rebutted well their objections in detail in his pamphlet named Shaq-al-Qamar-Daf-atar-dat-mu'jizah and has told the sages of the Europe has to accept this issue, and a major class of the philosophers of astronomy is convinced of the taering apert of the stars and their healing, except Mushaeen who deny the fact of turning apart and healing of he moon even though their arguments are weak and the Muslim theologians have rebutted them.
