== Islamic criticism ==
== Islamic criticism ==
Bangladeshi Islamic scholar [[Abubakar Muhammad Zakaria]], who has conducted advanced research and studies on [[Hinduism]] at the [[Islamic University of Madinah]] in Saudi Arabia, criticized the book, saying that [[Narasimha]] is described in verse 127 of the 20th volume of the Atharveda. Not the main body of the Atharvaveda, it claims that it is an anticipatory portion and subsequent connections, and claims that prophecies of the Prophet [[Muhammad]] in Hindu scriptures were used by Hindus to make their scriptures acceptable to Muslims. is a clever attempt. Beginning with Akbar's attempt to flatter Emperor Akbar by writing the Alupanishad, he claims that the Bhavishya Purana is completely fabricated and man-made with Hindu references. In addition, all Hindu scriptures, including the Vedas, are claimed to be adaptations of the beliefs of the Shetanga Aryans, descendants of [[Noah]]'s son Jephthah from Iran, a native of India. Hermit or Black is the Dravidian religion. Belongs to Noah's son Ham, Indian regional indigenous religions. and professes to adopt a new form in Buddhist admixture, and says that since the Hindu texts do not contain the monotheism of God or Allah, it is in no way consistent. An Arabic form of the original tenets of Islam, rather the pagan Advaita Vedanta philosophy of Wahdat-ul-Wujud or [[Sufism]], arose and as Hinduism established itself as a conformist and syncretistic doctrine from the Islamic point of view.

[[Ziya-ur-Rahman Azmi]] in his book "''Dirast fi al-Yahudiyyah Wal-Masihiyah Wa Adiyan-al-Hind''" ( A Study on Judaism, Christianity and Indian Religion) states that there are two explanations behind the prophecies in Hinduism about the emergence of Islam. One could be that the time of Aryan migration was during the time of Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him), during his time another prophet came to India, under whose guidance these prophecies are included, or as many Hindus say it was copied from [[Rigveda]]. Another theory is that, according to Sultan Mubeen, professor of Sanskrit at Shibli College, they are Hindu inventions and later additions, added by Hindus to please Muslim rulers, such as Kalki. Puranas and Bhavishya Puranas, which contain many Islamic prophecies. Azmi argues that most of the Hindu scriptures were translated into Arabic during the reign of Caliph [[Al-Ma'mun|Ma'mun ibn al-Rashid]] at [[Bait al Hikmat]], but none of them mentioned anything about these prophecies in any of these books. For example, al-Biruni's "Ma llihnd min muqulat al-muqulat fi al-aql wa marjula" by [[Al-Biruni]] (''Tahqiq ma lilhind min maqqula al-maqqula fi al-aql wa marzula'') and two other Arabic translations of Hindu scriptures, none of them mentioned any of thes prophecies. Azmi himself supported the second explanation. Regarding the author of the book, [[Ved Prakash Upadhyay]], in which these prophecies are mentioned, Azmi said that although he claimed to confirm these prophecies in the book, he himself did not accept Islam.<ref>{{cite book|last1=الرحمن|first1=أعظمى، محمد ضياء|title=دراسات في اليهودية والمسيحية وأديان الهند والبشارات في كتب الهندوس|date=2008|publisher=مكتبة الرشد،|pages=703–708|url=https://www.noor-book.com/en/book/internal_download/865e7470002231144605c52e5e264acd/2/fb5dd854dcf907fb80f85b5242f2e4f8/NDI2NzVlNmY3N2ZhOTUxNDMzZGVhY2I0NDg0MmI4OGMzNWIyMDgyNmRlZTI4ZmYxN2QyY2RjNGRkMGQzMzg0OWI5MmNkYjhmYTExNzEwNDA1N2YyNWMzNWIyYjBkYWEzMWVhOWUxZDJmZmUwYmM0MGI4ZWNkYWMxZjkzZGJlZjQxS1dhZ3ZyRUgwZnA3RmQrRThEeURZSFpKNysrUkFZQ3FoeG5WYTdaZkVhL2cranNiZFdnVThjWWc0OXZnTVpn|access-date=14 August 2022|language=ar}}</ref>

Bangladeshi Islamic scholar [[Abubakar Muhammad Zakaria]], who has conducted advanced research and studies on [[Hinduism]] at the [[Islamic University of Madinah]] in Saudi Arabia, said about the book in his book ''Hinduism wa tasur bad al firaq al islamiat biha'' (Hinduism and some Islamic groups influenced by it) that,
"There is a section for this Purana ([[Bhavishya Purana]]) called [[Kalki Purana]], which touched upon [[Kalki]] Avatar, (Avatar that comes in the Kali time, or the last time) and what came in this Purana was the reality of Muhammad only, when one of their scholars [[(Ved Prakash Upaddhay]]) admitted that there is no Kalki Avatar except Muhammad and he mentioned evidence for that from this book, and claimed that it only applies to it, except that the Hindus differed in accepting this part of the book, and they said that it was plagiarized and it was developed by the later and it was included in the book at a very late time."<ref name="AHWT"/> Zakaria also criticized the book, saying that Narasangsha is described in verse 127 of the 20th volume of the Atharveda as Kalki which is not the main body of the Atharvaveda, he said that it is an anticipatory portion and subsequent connections, and claimed that prophecies of the Prophet [[Muhammad]] in Hindu scriptures were used by Hindus to make their scriptures acceptable to Muslims, which is a clever attempt, beginning with Akbar's reign to flatter Emperor Akbar by writing the [[Allopanishad]], he claims that the Bhavishya Purana is completely fabricated and man-made with Hindu references. He says that Hinduism has a habit of adding everything in it's religion they got outside in the name of their own religion fabricatedly to attract people to come into their religion, this is also a result of that. In addition, all Hindu scriptures, including the Vedas, are claimed to be adaptations of the beliefs of the [[Aryan]]s, [[Dravid]]ians, and Indian regional indigenous religions, and says that since the Hindu texts do not contain the monotheism of God or [[Allah]], it is in neither consistent with the original tenets of Islam, nor these are original devine books, rather the pagan [[Advaita Vedanta]] philosophy influenced the concept of [[Wahdat al-Wujud]] or [[Sufism]] in the name of Islam, arose and as Hinduism established itself as a conformist and syncretistic doctrine from the Islamic point of view. He claimed that, all Hindu scriptures are not inspired and man-made Aryan literature and the theory that this book attributed Kalki to Muhammad, he claimed, was a false and deceitful attempt.<ref name="AHWT">{{cite book |title=الهندوسية وتأثر بعض الفرق الاسلامية بها |date=2016 |publisher=Dār al-Awrāq al-Thaqāfīyah |isbn=978-603-90755-6-1 |pages=870-890 |url=https://books.google.com.bd/books?id=zLGztAEACAAJ&dq=%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%87%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%88%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9+%D9%88%D8%AA%D8%A3%D8%AB%D8%B1+%D8%A8%D8%B9%D8%B6+%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%82+%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A5%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9+%D8%A8%D9%87%D8%A7&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y |access-date=28 July 2023  |lang=ar}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=প্রশ্ন : হিন্দু ধর্মে ভবিষ্যৎবাণী কোথায় থেকে আসলো? শাইখ প্রফেসর ড. আবু বকর মুহাম্মাদ যাকারিয়া (Question: Where did prophecy come from in Hinduism?  Sheikh Professor Dr.  Abu Bakar Muhammad Zakaria) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KteGroIh940|publisher=[[Abubakar Muhammad Zakaria]]'s YouTube page|access-date=15 January 2021}}</ref>
