Ved Prakash Upaddhay
Ziaur Rahman Azmi in his book "Dirasat fil Yahudiyat wal Masihiyat Wal Adianil Hind" (دراست في اليوديه والمسيحيه واديان الحند, Studies on Judaism, Christianity and Indian Religions) stated that, although most of the mainstream Muslim scholars do not regard Hindu scriptures as divine scriptures revealed from God rather than man-made Aryan literature, there may be three reasons behind the "possible" inclusion of Islamic prophecies in Hinduism. First one is, the period of the Indo-Aryan Migration was during the time of Prophet Abraham, during which another prophet may have come to India, under whose direction these prophecies are included. Or what many Hindus say, Rigveda is copied from Torah. Another view is that, according to Sultan Mubin, professor of Sanskrit at Shibli National College, Azamgarh, they are fabrications and later Hindu additions, incorporated by Hindus to please Muslim rulers, such as the Kalki Purana and the Bhavishya Purana, which contain many prophecies on Islamic matters. Azmi argues in support of this view that most of the Hindu scriptures were translated into Arabic in Bayt Al-Hiqmah during the reign of the Caliph Mamun bin al-Rashid, but even then, no author of that time mentioned anything of these prophecies in any of these books. For example, India by al-Biruni ("Tahqeeq ma lilhind min qaqulat mayqulat fi aliakal au marjula", رحقب ما للهند من مقولة مقولة في العقل او مرذولة) and the Arabic translations of two other Hindu scriptures. Regarding the translations, none of which said anything about these prophecies. Azmi himself supported the third view. Azmi Also said that, some Hindus including the founder of Arya Samaj Dayananda Saraswati and his followers also consider these to be fabrications. Besides, regarding the author of the book, Ved Prakash Upadhyay, Azmi said that although he claimed the verification of these prophecies in this book, he himself did not convert to Islam.
