Hindu professor, Pandit Benda Upadhi in his book Kalki Avatar, claims the description of Avatar found in the holy books of Hindu religion is of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam). According to Hindu holy books, the description of the Guide and Leader, named Kalki Avatar, fits only the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam):
1. In Hindu books, the names of the father and mother of Kalki Avatar are given as Vishnubhagat and Sumaani respectively. Vishnubhagat: Vishnu (meaning god) + Bhagat (slave) = Allah (God) + Abd (Slave of God) = Abdullah (in Arabic). Sumaani = Peace or Calmness = Aaminah (in Arabic)
2. The staple diet of Kalki Avatar would be dates and olive and he would be the most honest and truthful person in the Region. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam) fits this exactly.
3. It is stated in Vedas (Hindu holy book) that the birth of Kalki Avatar would take place in an honourable clan. This fits with the clan of Quraysh to which the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam) belonged.
4. God would teach Kalki Avatar through His messenger in a cave. Allah taught Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam) through Jibraeel in Cave Hiraa.
5. God would give Kalki Avatar a speedy horse to travel the world and 7 skies. This is an indication of the Buraaq and Mi’raaj.
6. Kalki Avatar was to be born on the 12th of a month. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam) was born on 12th Rabiul-Awwal.
7. Kalki Avatar would be an excellent horse rider and swordsman. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam) was both.
