Question:
If according to Islam, messengers or prophets were sent to each and every nation of the world, then which prophet was sent to India? Can we consider Ram and Krishna to be messengers of God?
Answer By Dr Zakir Naik:
1. Prophets sent to every nation
a. The Glorious Qur’an mentions in Surah Fatir, chapter 35 verse 24
“. . . And there never was a people, without a warner
having lived among them (in the past).”
[Al-Qur’an 35:24]
b. A similar message is repeated in Surah Rad, chapter 13 verse 7
“. . . and to every people a guide.”
[Al-Qur’an 13:7]
2. Stories only of some prophets narrated in the Qur’an
a. Allah (swt) says in Surah Nisa, chapter 4 verse 164
“Of some messengers We have already told thee the story; of others we have not.”
[Al-Qur’an 4:164]
b. A similar message is repeated in Surah Ghafir chapter 40 verse 78
“We did aforetime send messengers before thee: of them there are some whose story We have related to thee, and some whose story We have not related to thee. . .”
[Al’Qur’an 40:78]
3. 25 Prophets of God are mentioned by name in the Qur’an
By name, only 25 Prophets of God are mentioned in the Qur’an e.g. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammed (pbut)
4. More than 1,24,000 prophets of God
According to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), there were more than 1,24,000 prophets sent to this world.
5. All previous prophets sent only for their people
All the prophets that came before Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) were only sent for their own people and were to be followed only for a particular period of time.
Surah Ali Imran, chapter 3 verse 49
“And (appoint him) a messenger to the Children of Israel, . . .”
[Al-Qur’an 3:49]
6. Muhammad (pbuh), the last messenger of God
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the last and final messenger of Almighty God. It is mentioned in
Surah Ahzab, chapter 33 verse 40
“Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the seal of the Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things.”
[Al-Qur’an 33:40]
7. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), sent for whole Humankind
Since Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the last and final messenger, he was not sent only for the Muslims or the Arabs, but he was sent for the whole of humankind.
a. It is mentioned in
Surah Anbiya, chapter 21 verse 107
“We sent thee not, but as a mercy for all creatures.”
[Al’Qur’an 21:107]
b. A similar message is repeated in
Surah Saba, chapter 34 verse 28
“We have not sent thee but as a universal (Messenger) to men, giving them glad tidings, and warning them (against sin), but most men understand not.”
[Al Qur’an 34:28]
c. It is mentioned in
Sahih Bukhari, volume 1, Book of Salaah, chapter 56 hadith no. 429
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah: Allah’s Messenger said,
“Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only but I have been sent to all mankind.”
8. Which prophet was sent to India?
Regarding the question of which prophet of God was sent to India, and can we consider Ram or Krishna to be prophets of God, there is no text in the Qur’an or Sahih Hadith mentioning the name of the prophet that was sent to India. Since the names of Ram and Krishna are nowhere to be found in the Qur’an and Sahih Hadith, one cannot say for sure whether they were prophets of God or not. Some Muslims, especially certain Muslim politicians who try to appease the Hindus, say Ram Alai-his-salaam, i.e. Ram, may peace be on him. This is totally wrong, since there is no authentic proof from the Qur’an and Sahih Hadith that he was a prophet of God. However, a person may say that perhaps they may have been the prophets of God.
9. Even if Ram and Krishna were prophets, today we have to follow the last Prophet of God i.e. Muhammad (pbuh)
Even if Ram and Krishna were prophets of God, they were only meant for people of that time and were to be followed only for that particular period of time. Today, all the human beings throughout the world, including India should only follow the last and final prophet and Messenger of God – prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

Who is Allah? He is all powerful supreme personality of Godhead. No one is equal to or superior to him. He is the only one to be worshipped. He is the controller of all.
5000 years ago In Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna proves & confirms (the above mentioned statements)Himself that He is the supreme personality of Godhead, (Lord Ram, Buddha, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, are the avatars of Krishna)
Brahma, Shiva, & all other Gods (Demigods) are Krishna’s appointee to manage the universal affairs.
Just like Mohammad Prophet, Jesus Christ who are messengers of God, said that God is one, Lord Krishna Himself confirmed in Gita.
Islam knows Krishna by the name off Allah. Christanity knows him as Almighty. (Jesus Christ was messenger)
We have passed through many bodies of man, animals, birds, aquatics, trees, etc.
We all must have been Hindhu, Muslim, Christain, etc. in our so many past lives. So its no use arguing. We need to Worship supreme personatlity of Godhead Krishna in this life, so as to get his mercy.
We need to Keep this fact in corner of our mind. Above mentioned is the absolute Truth & it cannot be changed by our mental speculation.

I do not mind calling God by any name as long as that name is not referring to any created thing including humans. Now I have no problem in considering Krishna as a messenger of God like Muhammad or Jesus and using Brahma (creater) or ishwar, or God or Allah for God (with any form or image). However I can not accept that on a small planet like earth God comes as an human (jesus or krishna or buddah)or any other animal or plant form. I know Hindus are very broadminded and as such can see this point clearly. When Krishna is saying the things related to God may be he is just saying things as he gets them from God so referring to God rather then himself. Krinsha was a great man but no matter how great he be, he or Muhammad or Jesus or any body can ever become equal to ishwar (God almighty).

“aur ham nay bhaijay hain HAR umat main rasool”
(aayat-e-QURANi)
Ofcourse, Rama and Krishna were the prophets of God.
Even Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) had said about Krishna (PBUH) that:
“There was a prophet of God in India who was dark in colour and his name was Kahan[Krishna]”
Zakir says, “certain Muslim politicians … say Ram Alai-his-salaam, i.e. Ram, may peace be on him. This is totally wrong”
Zakir ji! first of all, i too say same thing but am i politician?
secondly, who are you to say it ‘is totally wrong’ ? have u any ‘authentic proove’ that Rama and Krishna (Peace be Upon them) are not the prophets of God or Allah deprived India from prophets or messangers?

Rama and Krishna are not Prophets…Rama and Krishna are incarnations of God (Vishnu)…Lord Krishna says -> Although I am unborn and My transcendental body never deteriorates, and although I am the Lord of all sentient beings, I still appear in every millennium in My original transcendental form.(Bhagavad-gita 4.6)….Krishna says -> I am the Self, seated in the hearts of all creatures. I am the beginning, the middle and the end of all beings.(Bhagavad-Gita 10.20)/ ..Krishna says -> O Arjuna, I am the generating seed of all existences. There is no being–moving or unmoving–that can exist without Me.(Bhagavad-Gita 10.39)..lord krishna is the supreme god ..not Prophet..I recommend you to read Bhagavad-Gita and try to learn the truth..According to Quran Allah has form and his bodily complexion is dark like monsoon cloud ..Krishna’s complexion is dark like monsoon cloud….

Jazak Brother, but you didnt pay attention to what i said. It should be authentic Hadith with proper chain of narrations. The sayings of Prophet (peace be upon him) is protected by the ummah under certain rules called usool-al-hadees. When some out quotes an hadith, he should bring forward the naration chain, and it should fulfill all the five conditions required by make an hadith “maqbool” i.e. acceptable.
May Allah keep us away from attributing any false sayings to the Prophet (peace be upon him). Ameen.

Why do you people want to see Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma thought the eyes of Islam. My friend, SD adherents believe in Avataar – you simply can not equate it to prophethood.
Your thinking that Vedas and Shri Bhagwat Gita might have been corrupted is totally absurd and the knowledge is quite relevant today. However, if you read Quran lot of it deals with the local wars with the Arabian tribes.
It is clearly mentioned in Shri Bhagwat Gita:
Yada yada hi dharmasya,glanirbhavati Bharatah,
Abhiyutthanam dharmasya,tadatmanam srijamyaham!
Paritranaya sadhunam, vinashaya cha dushkritam,
Dharmasamsthapanarthaya, sambhabami yuge yuge!!
Whenever and wherever there is decline of dharma (righteousness) and ascendance of adharma (unrighteousness), at that time I manifest Myself in visible form. For the protection of the righteous and destruction of the wicked, and for the sake of establishing dharma again, I incarnate Myself on earth ages after ages.
Do you see Lord Krishna saying “incarnate” NOT prophet. So, my friends stop speculation and trying to Islamized hinduism.. Good trick!!

Hello Saad,
“Hay Niceguy, the ‘Avataar’ of Hinduism is equivallent to the ‘Prophet’ of Islam.”
Could you please give some references from scriptures or by some authentic text that support your view?
As far as I understand – Avataar meaning “a form descending” = “Form of God descending on Earth”.
Friend, with total respect to you, I think your views are closed about other religions.
I hope you will be courteous and careful enough in refraining from coming out with your own “translations” specially regarding other religions which you know of very little.
Namaste.

More Clarification:
Messenger = Human being with the message from/of God.
Avataar = God in the limited form of a living being.
Remember 10 avatars of Vishnu – From Fish to Human being.
Would you count all 10 avataars of Vishnu to be Messenger of God?

A religion cannot be claimed to be the best religion only on the criterion that it is the oldest. It is similar to a person saying, that my 19th century car is better than a Toyota car manufactured in 1998, because it is older. He would be considered to be a fool to say that his 19th century car which required a rod to be turned in circles to start it, is better than a key-start 1998 Toyota car, just because it is older.
On the other hand a religion cannot be called as the best religion only on the criterion that the religion is new or that it came later. It is similar to a person who says that my 800 cc Suzuki car manufactured in 1999 is better than a 5000 cc Mercedes 500 SEL manufactured in 1997. To judge which car is better, a person should compare the specifications of the car e.g. the power of the car, safety measures, the capacity of the cylinders, the pickup, the speed, the comfort, etc. 5000 cc Mercedes, 500 SEL car manufactured in 1997, is far superior and better than a 800 cc Suzuki (Maruti Suzuki 800) manufactured in 1999.
For a religion to be considered the best, it should have the solution to all the problems of mankind. It should be the religion of truth, and should be applicable to all ages. Islam is the only religion which has the solution to all the problems of mankind. e.g. the problem of alcoholism, surplus women, rape and molestation, robbery, racism, casteism, etc.
Islam is the religion of truth, and its laws and solutions are applicable to all the ages. The Qur’an is the only religious book on the face of the earth, which has maintained its purity and authenticity proving itself to be the word of God in all the ages. i.e. previously, when it was the age of miracles, literature and poetry and in present times when it is the age of science and technology. Moreover, Islam is not a man-made religion, but a religion revealed and inspired by Almighty God. It is the only religion acceptable in His Sight.

you say islam is the religion of truth ok it is! i dnt say no but this truth is also shown in india and only by one god the one who is considered very supreme the name is LORD RAM. whole of islam means truth but my friend just RAM is truth so just think what other gods represent.Dont fight on the name of relegion and that too with hinduism.Ram means truth mind and discipline that one needs to foolw in todays life.Krishna means love soul.Ram And Krishna represent many a thing and my friend Hinduism is not just Ram and Krishna.Even Ram And Krishna prayed to SHIVA And in return SHIVAJI also prayed to RAM.Shiva is known as one who has ash smeared on his body one who is almighty and even death could not conquer him.The stone is kabba is a black stone and it is said that it is given by allah.The stone is also smeared with ashes and Shiva is smeared with ashes.So the stone is brought from one who is smeaed with ashes.So my friend Shiva and Allah are one and the same.Shiva prayed to Ram and Ram prayed to shiva.So now you can your self understand the concept tha who also prayed to who and who prayed to whom.I think this is all.And Hinduism is not just Bhagwat Geeta.Its Ashtavakra GeetaThe Pandav Geeta Stotram PURANS AND VEDAS and what not my friend so stop comparing and believe in what you are and respect in what others are having!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My oh my, I really would like to know where this Saad Baksh is getting his info from. It seems he is making up stuff as he’s going along.
Also, no one seems to have touched upon the prophesies of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in the Hindu scriptures. It is ironic that those Brahmins (the real term to describe followers of Hindu religion/philosophy) themselves contradict the very concept of their holy scriptures. For example, see YAJUR-VEDA XL, 9 / XXXII, 3 and others at: tinyurl.com/of2hm4
Brahmanism is very distinct from Islam in its pantheist ideology and docrines. Therefore it is impossible to even try to harmonise the two in any way or form. Whether Rama or Krishna were Prophets of Allaah SWT is speculative and provides no benefit to our creed or action because our salvation lies through following the Qur’an and the final Messenger to mankind.

Seems like the website reference you gave us is also full of “made-up” stuff.
Just quoting few lines here and there out of context – not sure what do you want to prove.
Let me ask you:
1. Do you believe in Vedas?
If yes, then you should agree with full Vedas, not just part of it. BTW, have you ever tried reading Vedas or you are doing just cut and paste of link?
If no, then stop quoting Vedas.
2. Do you think God/Allah can not be manifested?
If not, aren’t you limiting the capabilities of God/Allah?
God is INFINITE and OMNIPRESENT (everywhere).
Only ignorant people believe God is somewhere up in sky only!!
It’s ok if you believe “Allah” can not be manifested. As far as I know and mentioned in BG – Lord Vishnu can manifest Himself – whenever HE wants – generally when there is imbalance of Dharma.

See, that’s what I am saying – Ishwar and Allah are same thing.
Lord Sri Rama/Sri Krishna are incarnation of Vishnu – hence considered to be Ishwar. Whereas, Prophet Muhammad is messenger of Allah. Therefore Sri Rama/Krishna can not be considered as Messenger.
In Sri Bhagwad Gita, Lord Krishna himself told Arjuna – he is he incarnation of Vishnu and shown the INFINITE form.

Just saw this and felt pity on few.
I just have two questions to ask:
1. Have you heard “Ishvar Niraakar Hai”
2: What is the meaning of “Om Namash Shivai” “Om Narayan Namah” or “Om Vishudeva Namah”
For just the sake of it let give answers as well:
1. Yes u would have as the eternal phrase in Vedas
2. Salute to ‘lord’ Shiva who belongs to ‘God’ Om and the same way for rest of the two in trinity … they all belong to ‘Om’ ….. now define Om to me
Can ya … have u ever seen its figure or form … in any of your cultures or traditions. The word Lord is far inferior to word God.
Try and understand your own religion and its glory and where we created corrouptions. In form of 3000+ dieties (including latest – Rajnikant). If you cant … pity will be only thing you will be left with.

Quran 39:29 -”Allah puts forth a similitude: a (slave) man belonging to many partners (like those who worship others along with Allah) disputing with one another, and a (slave) man belonging entirely to one master, (like those who worship Allah Alone).

It is better to strive in one’s own Dharma than to succeed in the Dharma of another. Nothing is ever lost in following one’s own Dharma. But competition in another’s Dharma breeds fear and insecurity. -Krishna ji
Even though scolded by the wicked or insulted, ridiculed, calumniated, beaten, bound, robbed of his living or spat upon or otherwise abominably treated by the ignorant-being thus variously shaken and placed in dire extremities, the man who desires his well-being should deliver himself by his own effort through patience and non-resistance. – Krishna
The demonic do things they should avoid and avoid the things they should do… Hypocritical, proud, and arrogant, living in delusion and clinging to their deluded ideas, insatiable in their desires, they pursue unclean ends… Bound on all sides by scheming and anxiety, driven by anger and greed, they amass by any means they can a hoard of money for the satisfaction of their cravings… Self-important, obstinate, swept away by the pride of wealth, they ostentatiously perform sacrifices without any regard for their purpose. Egotistical, violent, arrogant, lustful, angry, envious of everyone, they abuse my presence within their own bodies and in the bodies of others. -Krishna ji
now i dont know about you but Krishna along with all the other great attributes of Hinduism is very very bright, that of which IS Allah, which IS light.

Well my muslim friends you are free to follow your religion and let us follow our religion. As far as the concept of God is considered , it is quite different in muslim religion (newly formed) and eternal vedic hinduism (believed to have formed with the universe by brahma, vishnu, and Shiva with shakti all are forms of the almighty brahmn). So, you believe in prophet ,a messenger of god, that is OK. But we don,t believe in prophet and any such concept as we have incarnations of God as Ram ,Krishna, Narsingh etc, as per hindu purans with saakar swaroop of brahma as brahma, vishnu, and Shiva.
God might have sent his prophets to different countries but in india Almighty God has incarnated himself according to various hindu scriptures.
So their should be no fight and no confusion about this matter Islam believes in prophet and Hindus believe in the incarnation of the almighty.
so, I respect both the religion and hope that people continue to follow their religions as per their faith without any involvement in other’s religion.

Even the smallest company or MNC at the time of recruiting,makes sure that u are not and will not be ‘working’ for someone else…the moment it sees a lie or dubious nature of yours,they refuse you no matter how well qualified u are..no country can tolerate Treason ,the punishment is death by hanging..,no father who nourishes his son accept that his boy will obey others and not him…this is the case with humans who are so frail..THEN HOW CAN THE GREATEST POWER OF HEAVENS AND EARTH ACCEPT THAT HIS CREATION BOWS DOWN TO OTHERS INSTEAD OF HIM??????
”Allah puts forth a similitude: a (slave) man belonging to many partners (like those who worship others along with Allah) disputing with one another, and a (slave) man belonging entirely to one master, (like those who worship Allah Alone). Are those two equal in comparison? All the praises and thanks be to Allah! But most of them know not.” Quran 39:29

Entrenchingly Absurd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if the presence of mere 360 (stone , wood or mud) idols translates ‘Arabistan’ into ‘Vedic culture’,then… ..wonder why this ‘culture’ disappeared from the north america(Aztec),Greece,Rome ..entire europe (Greek mythology,Pantheism) etc etc etc..-ONLY to remain in India????????????????????
Especially when the Vedas echo with the following message:
“na tasya pratima asti
“There is no image of Him.”
[Yajurveda 32:3]
“shudhama poapvidham”
“He is bodyless and pure.”
[Yajurveda 40:8]
“Andhatama pravishanti ye asambhuti mupaste”
“They enter darkness, those who worship the natural elements” (Air, Water, Fire, etc.). “They sink deeper in darkness, those who worship sambhuti.”
[Yajurveda 40:9]
Sambhuti means created things, for example table, chair, idol, etc.
The Brahma Sutra of Hinduism is:
“Ekam Brahm, dvitiya naste neh na naste kinchan”
“There is only one God, not the second; not at all, not at all, not in the least bit.”

the conclusion is that god is almighty and is one .their is no likeness of him .and prophet muhammmad (pbuh) is the mesaanger of god(allah)/brahama .this is mentioned in bhavishya puran . and also mensioned in holy vedas by name muhammada AND NARASHANSA (which means a man which is eligible for appreciation) and we know that this is muhammad(pbuh) and also kalki avtaar that is a man from sandy area his name is muhammad his father name is vishnuyash(abdulllah) mother name is sumiti(amina) they come wiht their sahabas and raja bhoj welcome him.
their is no disagreement that islam and sanatan dharm is the true religion prescribed by allah and islam is the modified form of sanatan dharma .
and all 33 crore bhagwan are nothing but angels and jin and jinnats . which is made up of light and fire and they r sent for the help of humanity by god.
god said live happily without any fight and we always prefer that thing which is true.

The pleasure of true & ultimate satisfaction can only be derived in worshiping the AlMighty Lord Allah in the way in which HE has asked us to worship Him.
“Verily the only acceptable religion(way of life) to Allah is Islam.” [Quran 3:19]
“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the life to come he shall be among the losers.” [Quran 3:85].
Allah has taught everything with regards to this world and the one to come through the messengers & prophets,the last one being Muhammad(Peace & Blessings be upon him)so people have no excuse for the choices they make .

What if you Find a Watch in the Sand?
Suppose you found a watch in the middle of the desert. What would you conclude? Would you think someone had dropped the watch? Or would you suppose that the watch came by itself?
Of course, no sane person would say the watch just happened to emerge from the sand. All the intricate working parts could not simply develop from the metals that lay buried in the earth. The watch must have a manufacturer.
If a watch tells an accurate time, we expect the manufacturer must be intelligent. Blind chance cannot produce a working watch.
But what else tells accurate time? Consider the sunrise and the sunset. Their timings are so strictly regulated that scientists can publish in advance the sunrise and sunset times in your daily newspapers. But who regulated the timings of sunrise and sunset? If a watch cannot work without an intelligent maker, how can the sun appear to rise and set with such clockwork regularity? Could this occur by itself?
Consider also that we benefit from the sun only because it remains at a safe distance from the earth. A distance that averages 93 million miles. If it got much closer, the earth would burn up. And if it got too far away, the earth would turn into an icy planet making human life here impossible. Who decided in advance that this was the right distance? Could it just happen by chance?
Without the sun, plants would not grow. Then animals and humans would starve. Did the sun just decide to be there for us?
We need to experience sunrise. We need the sun’s energy and its light to see our way during the day. But we also need sunset. We need a break for the heat, we need the cool of the night and we need the lights to go out so we may sleep. Who regulated this process to provide what we need?
Moreover, if we had only the warmth of the sun and the protection of the atmosphere we would want something more beauty. Our clothes provide warmth and protection, yet we design them also to look beautiful. Knowing our need for beauty, the designer of the sunrise and the sunset also made the view of them to be simply breathtaking.
The Creator who gave us light, energy, protection and beauty deserves our thanks. Yet some people insist that He does not exist. What would they think if they found a watch in the desert? An accurate, working watch? A beautifully designed watch? Would they not conclude that there does exist a watchmaker, One who appreciates beauty? Such is God who made us.

if you get mental peace and bliss by saying ram ram then ram is your path to salvation
if you get the same by saying allah allah then allah is your path to salvation
the worst mistake is to say that your ram/allah is better than others ram/allah and fighting over it as there is only one supreme master who is master of both hindu and muslim, so why fight on name?

Hello brothers and sisters, i am just a student of theology. i am very much eager to know every concept. but one thing is very confusing. could anyone clarify this? some said that Krishna was the main supreme personality in Hinduism, some said Ram and some said Shiva. and about female prophets, it’s my personal view that female are more soft minded and and free from sins. may be that’s why God selected men to be the examples for all ages(that a man can also be an example). and i think it is more respectful to be the mother, wife or daughter of those selected beings. and one thing more i would like to know, that is, did anytime Vishnu manifest (HIMSELF) as a female? pls give viable references.Thanx. Peace.

SOME SCHOLARS SAY GAUTAMA BUDDHA WAS A PROPHET BUDDHIST OR CONFUCIUS & LAOZI WAS A PROPHET TO CHINESE OR SOCRATES WAS A PROPHET TO GREEK.
BUT MY POINT IS ” ONLY ALLAH KNOWS THE BEST.”
KNOW DAYS IN INDIA, MOST PEOPLES ARE going to DARGAH (SUFI SHRINE) WHICH IS SIMILAR TO IDOL WORSHIPING.

I dont have too much knowledge regarding religion but simply i know that there is someone who has created the whole universe the sun the moon the earth we live and us.if we simply look into our solar system and other stars then we can understand how beutyfully the supreme power has placed them systematically in their own place . as far my knowlege is concerned this supreme power is God or allah or iswar or bishnu or brahma. If the almighty allah can create the entire universe without any difficulty and choas then why he should take birth as a human being to reform our problems .from the very begining god is sending down prophet to earth with some special purpose to show people the right path to understand god. The prophets may be muhammad rama krishna or jesus. but we cannot consider them as god….

lol .. U seem believe that u know something, until you are aproached with a single instance of doubt, which thereby leads to the manifestation of questioning ones self. I could say that everyone on this forumn, has suddenely started questioning their own beliefs, be it a staunch Christian, hindu or Muslim .. I could give input of my own whilst trying not to be biased. Karma is real .. Karma requires no religion.
Karma is real because it is the only thing that can be felt..
When u do good towards another, u cant help but feel a sense of contentment in return.
When u do bad onto another, u cant help but feel a sense of guilt, as though u know that u will reap for you action. All these involantry sense of feelings in return show that Karma is real. Once we have reaped for all our Adharma (our actions beyon the law of the universe and the supreme creator) and rid ourselve from attachement, we will leave the cycle of Karma and become one with the supreme creator, and thus leave Karma (the virtual world)

All Praise be to Almighty…
All the religions are the creation of One Supreme Personality. And He only knows better. We should just follow the words of our own Books. Which has been given by Almighty. And one should always respect all the scriptures sent by Almighty.
To refuse any of the religion’s belief of the world is just like equal to refuse the words and creation of one God. All religions on the earth are teaching and command us to do the Good.
No matter in what U do believe, but if your belief is strong n firm, one day God will show U the right path to follow. Don’t fight for the Names only. fighting will bring u far from Real God, and its the job of Satan (Maya), so everyone should seek refuge in Almighty from the Satan(Maya)..
I m sorry if i m wrong anywhere, coz nobody knows the mystery of God except Almighty Himself. And there is no power and no strength except with Him… Only He knows better, we know nothing…

Hello
Why are you all people arguing and not just respect each other? Prophets were good people and as far as I know they did not insult each other. One should acknowledge the good things and acts others do.
I acknowledge that Prof Zakir Naik is intelligent, However I am disappointed (from a dvd I saw) that he appears arrogant. One should not elevate his voice and “offense” others. Respect the other one and speak calmy. A role model is Prophet Muhammad (SAW) – from various books I read – he had the most perfect way of handling himself. Also, did not the other prophets be humble too?

After the strom during Prophet Nuh (p.b.u.h) was over, he had 3 sons who may be became prophets, there names where (Prophet Haam (p.b.u.h), whom was sended to India, Sindh & to copets), Prophet Saam & Porphet Yafis.).
Prophet Haam was sended to India also & if he had later generations in India, than Ram & Krishna might be Messengers of God.
Islam is very oldest & earliest religion than Hinduism, Sikkhism, Judiasm, Christanity & other religions.
Islam started as a religion ever since Prophet Adam (p.b.u.h) put his 1st step on this earth & from Prophet Adam (p.b.u.h) till the last & final Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h), the religion was ISLAM ( Believe in ALLAH).

Respect it, Understand it. even the birth of Mohammad(Kalki) was mentioned in Hindu’s Vedas with the same birth place and the similar parents name…
