The prediction of Islam as given in the Bhavishya Purana
From the third part of the Pratisarga Parva
Shri Suta Gosvami said: In the
dynasty of king Shalivahana, there were ten kings who went to the
heavenly planets after ruling for over 500 years. Then gradually
the morality declined on the earth. At that time Bhojaraja was
the tenth of the kings on the earth. When he saw that the moral
law of conduct was declining he went to conquer all the
directions of his country with ten-thousand soldiers commanded
by Kalidasa.
He crossed the river Sindhu and conquered over
the gandharas, mlecchas, shakas, kasmiris, naravas and sathas. He
punished them and collected a large ammount of wealth.
Then the king went along with Mahamada (Mohammad), the preceptor
of mleccha-dharma, and his followers to the great god, Lord
Shiva, situated in the desert. He bathed Lord Shiva with
Ganges water and worshipped him in his mind with pancagavya
(milk, ghee, yoghurt, cow dung, and cow urine) and sandalwood
paste, etc. After he offered some prayers and pleased him.
Suta Goswami said: After hearing the king's
prayers, Lord Shiva said: O king Bhojaraja, you should go to the
place called Mahakakshvara, that land is called Vahika and now is
being contaminated by the mlecchas. In that terrible country
there no longer exists dharma. There was a mystic demon named
Tripura, whom I have already burnt to ashes, he has come again by
the order of Bali. He has no origin but he achieved a benediction
from me. His name is Mahaoda and his deeds are like that of a
ghost. Therefore, O king, you should not go to this land of the
evil ghost.
By my mercy your intelligence will be purified.
Hearing this the king came back to his country and Mahamada came
with them to the bank of the river Sindhu. He was expert in
expanding illusion, so he said to the king very pleasingly: O
great king, your god has become my servant. Just see, as he eats
my remnants, so I will show you. The king became surprised when
he saw this just before them. Then in anger Kalidasa rebuked
Mahamada, "O rascal, you have created an illusion to bewilder the
king, I will kill you, you are the lowest..."
That city is known as their site of pilgrimage, a
place which was Madina or free from intoxication. Having a form
of a ghost (Bhuta), the expert illusionist Mahamada appeared at
night in front of king Bhojaraja and said: O king, your religion
is of course known as the best religion among all. Still I am
going to establish a terrible and demoniac religion by the order
of the Lord. The symptoms of my followers will be that
they first of all will cut their genitals, have no shikha, but
having beard, be wicked, make noise loudly and eat
everything. They should eat animals without performing
any rituals. This is my opinion. They will perform purificatory
act with the musala or a pestle as you purify your things with
kusha. Therefore, they will be known as musalman, the
corrupters of religion. Thus the demoniac religion will
be founded by me. After having heard all this the king came back
to his palace and that ghost went back to his place.
The intelligent king, Bhojaraj established the
language of Sanskrit in three varnas - the brahmanas, kshatriyas
and vaisyas - and for the shudras he established prakrita-bhasha,
the ordinary language spoken by common men. After ruling his
kingdom for 50 years, he went to the heavenly planet. The moral
laws established by him were honored even by the demigods. The
arya-varta, the pious land is situated between Vindhyacala and
Himacala or the mountains known as Vindhya and Himalaya. The
Aryans reside there, but varna-sankaras reside on the lower part
of Vindhya. The musalman people were kept on the other
side of the river Sindhu.
On the island of Barbara, Tusha and many others also the
followers of Isamsiha were also situated as they were managed by
a king or demigods.
