Prophesy of Prophet Muhammad PBUH in Buddhism
Compiled by Engineer Afsaneh Cooper
1. A Criticism on Buddhism - a Persian Video
2. A Criticism on Incarnation Belief in Buddhism - a Persian Video
3. Tony Abbot the previous PM of Australia cannot trust Chinese Authorities for their commitment - Buddhists do not believe in 10 Commandments
4. Korean Buddhist Leader and President Trump [God Believer] do not get a long
5. Christians and Buddhists war [USA/N.Korea] started because Allah is punishing Trump for his bombing Muslim people in Syria with over 59 bombs
6. Japanese Converted to Islam and millions of Muslims live in Japan
7. Japanese follow Islam and not interested in Christianity. 150 mosques are in Japan.
8. A Buddhist convert to Islam talk about Islam
9. Buddhist North Korean Leader ignores Christian Trump by joining China to attack Shintoist Japan with Nuclear Power
10. Since there is no commandments in Buddhism, nuclear bombing of the NATO countries is not a Hereafter task for Buddhist North Korean leader
11. King Kim Jong-In of N. Korea who is Buddhist is like Pharaoh of Egypt in Moses time, but he is the one Allah has chosen as Anti-Christ for NATO Countries.
12. King Kim Jong-In announced [15/4/17] war with USA, however before he submit to Islam, he won't go to Heaven after the martyrdom, as his war is not a Holy War!
13. Russia, China and N.Korea cannot understand they should be united first and believe in monotheism, so Allah fills their hearts with Peace and gives Grace to the poor nations they are leading them.
14. USA Veteran in support of Vietnam war and Japan war with Christians [WWII] speaks to University of Sydney Students about his memories. Christians defeated Buddhists and kept them under control in that war, but ....So far still Buddhists have problem with incomplete religion of Christianity and WWIII is coming!
15. Since Buddhists are ignorant about Jesus' and Muhammad' religions, which are more advanced religions than Buddhism, some of them became atheist. Buddhists need to upgrade their religion to Shi'a Islam in order to learn Doctrine of Election, and allow Muslims to choose Muslim names for their children.
16. Shi'a Muslims have had enough with Sunnis disputes over True Islam. Sunnis coalition with modern "Christians and Jews" is destiny of Allah to force Shi'as spending their time on Buddhists for guidance rather Sunnis and Christians. Qatar also joined the coalition against Shi'as!
17. China's dream of creating a G20 Union has ended to being pivoted to Russia. So the shared road and rail way as well as share of security and military links Russia, China, Syria, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Germany, France, Italy and N.Korea together. Who are the 8 others? China could get more power, if it submit to Shi'a Islam, as Buddha prophesised!
18. Iran - China Security team work well in securing the Northern part of Indian Ocean
19. Christians and Muslims who failed to convert Buddhists to Abrahamic religions, caused N. Korea's threat in 2017 for destruction of this planet! As now Buddhists do not believe in holy war and they do not know what it is!
20. Buddhists understanding of Family planning has ended to shortage of marriages in China and emigration of Chinese to Low populated countries. Islam can resolve this crisis.
21. Buddhists directed by Trump are triggering the WW-III in Korea
22. Buddhism is tampered by tyrants and today's Buddhist leaders are not educated in social justice and oppression on innocents is a disaster for North Korean people, so Buddhists conversion to Shi'a Islam is necessary so they believe in God, justice, human rights, etc.
23. Christian leaders cannot handle Buddhist leaders, but Muslim leaders can
24. President Trump only captured the old generation at South Korea to his war ideas, young generation protested against Trump!
25. N. Koreans worship their Leader. One important reason N. Koreans should convert to Shi'a Islam to only worship the Unique God [Allah] and not a weak Human!
26. This is why Christian leaders cannot convert Buddhist leaders to act peacefully in International dispute. Only Shi'a Islam with prophecy about Prophet Muhammad being the last prophet of God can help N. Korean leader acts peacefully and Atomic bombs do not destroy innocent nations!
27. Chinese are tending to Shi'a Islam by supporting Iran against Sunnism/Catholism.
28. Chinese cannot create peace in the world due to their Buddhist Religion is no longer up to date, and Christians are not willing to convert them to Christianity, but Muslims like to convert Buddhists to Shi'a Islam.
29. USA Christians are trying to control the Buddhism world, but in a harsh way. If Christians had followed Jesus will to convert to Islam, they could just convert N.Koreans to Islam, and that would be easy, as Allah would support them!
30. Christian USA Controlling Buddhists can deter all to convert to Shi'a Islam!!!
31. The most powerful Chinese leader after Mao
32. During the 570 years between landing of Jesus to third Heaven, and mission of Prophet of Islam as the last messenger of Allah, Christianity being revealed in Jerusalem had not propagated to North Korea. The following prophecy proves Christianity lacks responsibility for conversion of North Koreans to Religion of God, but Islam has that responsibility only. This is why Clinton talks about lack of diplomatic experience in making Kim to convert to God's religion. Trump also has not the following mission! Also some Muslims due to collusion have lost their potential to follow Prophet of Islam's mission to convert Kim. This is the core to innocent people being subject to Nuclear bombs in 21st century with no shelter against it.
33. There is nothing in Buddhism to tie friendship between two neighbours of China and Japan. This is why Shi'a Islam is the Truth to tie neighbourhood love between two neighbours as brothers with same Divine Goals, even for Buddhist! After Shi'asim, comes Christianity [not Sunnism!] in belief in love among neighbours!
34. Bravo President Trump for making S. Korean and N. Korean leaders reach to peace agreement.
35. China's repression policy against Islam is due to Buddhists not practicing this web page revelations in the Buddha's Scripture, so Muslims are blamed not spending their efforts on converting Buddhists to latest Scripture Holy Qur'an. This would create harmony in China among majority and minorities.
36. President Trump who had received Keys for Prosperity file from this Shubayr.net site in 2017 to apply it to his relationship with Kim of N. Korea, has successfully applied those keys and Catholism has now converted Kim to a friend for Catholics, which was not the case in 2017. Bravo Princess Ivanka and President Trump for applying Keys for Prosperity through Face Book to resolve Sunnism and Buddhism fake religions with no cost, rather expenditure with Pentagon Cost for Australia and USA.
37. This is an example of cruelty why Buddhist are told by Allah to follow Prophet Muhammad. Buddhist monk hits a child..
38. President Trump has a good relationship with Kim of N.Korea. Bravo the president for trying to convert Kim to be a good follower of Jesus by having love towards his enemy!
39. Communist Party is appointing amenable bishops in China to control 60 million Christians in China. Christians no longer are free in China, conversion to Shi'a Islam would unite Chinese Christians and Muslims to prevent their followers of becoming unbelievers, as Shi'a Islam is updated and more advanced.
40. China threatens Australia for War
41. In the absence of Muslims' allies for USA, this country could fall into the hands of Chinese and Russians
42. The number of Buddhists who rejected to follow Jesus increased to billions in South East Asia, and discrimination of Muslims who tried to convert Buddhists to Islam was continued by majority Buddhists in the area. Now President Trump is the only leader who has chosen Muslims to Buddhists and tries to support minority Christians with Muslims in that area for rescuing oppressed Christians in China!
43. Buddhists Kalachakra Festival for celebrating World Peace and Harmony
44. Christian journalist who believe in "Three God in One" lashes president of China for discriminating Muslims, Christians and democrats, and China president being Buddhist being a God for his nations! However Shi'a Islam does not believe in "Three God in One" and claims even Buddhists and Christians are waiting in their Holy Books for Imam Mahdi to be equal in this world for sharing natural resources and production Tools. Therefore the only religion which can unit Christians, Muslims and Buddhists is Shi'a Islam, not democratic China, nor democratic Sunni China. This is because Shi'a Traditions [called New Islam] would be wrapped around "verses of Bible, Torah, and Veda which are in original form" and Qur'anic verses would be bound with wrapped pack, then Imam Mahdi through Mobile phones would interpret Quran in New Islam Interpretation for these Buddhists, Christians and Muslims. Australian Law is not as complete as the Mahdi's New Islam Interpretation. If it was there should be only Australia who rules Buddhists, Christians and Muslims, which is not. So the Australian Christian Journalist had better wait so Imam Mahdi then Jesus both appear, one talk to the world and second talk to Christians only. If this Journalist live until Imam Mahdi and Jesus both appear, then the world can see the President Xi also would receive an SMS with Video Call from Imam Mahdi reminding him that Imam Mahdi was prophesised in Buddhists' scriptures and president is required to submit to Allah. Be Patient till then.
45. Had Christians and Muslims did their best to teach the following Buddhists' scriptural verses to Chinese, now Christians and Buddhists in China Sea could see each other as brothers and not as enemies.
1. Buddha prophesized the advent of a Maitreya:
A) Almost all Buddhist books contain this prophecy. It is in Chakkavatti Sinhnad Suttanta D. III, 76:
"There will arise in the world a Buddha named Maitreya (the benevolent one) a holy one, a supreme one, an enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe:
"What he has realized by his own supernatural knowledge he will publish to this universe. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at its climax, glorious at the goal, in the spirit and the letter.
He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and thoroughly pure; even as I now preach my religion and a like life do proclaim. He will keep up the society of monks numbering many thousands, even as now I keep up a society of monks numbering many hundreds".
B) According to Sacred Books of the East volume 35 pg. 225:
"It is said that I am not an only Buddha upon whom the leadership and order is dependent. After me another Buddha maitreya of such and such virtues will come. I am now the leader of hundreds; he will be the leader of thousands."
C) According to the Gospel of Buddha by Carus pg. 217 and 218 (From Ceylon sources):
"Ananda said to the Blessed One, ‘Who shall teach us when thou art gone?'
And the Blessed one replied, 'I am not the first Buddha who came upon the earth nor shall I be the last. In due time another Buddha will arise in the world, a holy one, a supremely enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals. He will reveal to you the same eternal truths, which I have taught you. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at the climax and glorious at the goal. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and pure such as I now proclaim. His disciples will number many thousands while mine number many hundreds.'
Ananda said, 'How shall we know him?'
The Blessed one replied, 'He will be known as Maitreya'."
(I) The Sanskrit word ‘Maitreya’ or its equivalent in Pali ‘Metteyya’ means loving, compassionate, merciful and benevolent. It also means kindness and friendliness, sympathy, etc. One Arabic word which is equivalent to all these words is ‘Rahmat’ which means mercy. In Surah Al-Anbiya:
"We sent thee not, but as a mercy for all creatures."
[Al-Qur’an 21:107]
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was called the merciful, which is ‘Maitri’.
(ii) The words Mercy and Merciful are mentioned in the Holy Qur’an no less than 409 times.
(iii) Every chapter of the Glorious Qur’an, except Chapter 9, i.e. Surah Taubah begins with the beautiful formula, 'Bismillah Hir-Rahman Nir-Rahim', which means 'In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful'.
(iv) The Word Muhammad is also spelt as ‘Mahamet’ or ‘Mahomet’ and in various other ways in different languages. The word ‘Maho’ or ‘Maha’ in Pali and Sanskrit mean Great and Illustrious and ‘Metta’ means mercy. Therefore ‘Mahomet’ means ‘Great Mercy’.
2. Buddha’s doctrine was Esoteric and Exoteric:
According to Sacred Books of the East, volume 11, pg. 36 Maha-Parinibbana Sutta chapter 2 verse 32:
"I have preached the truth without making any distinction between exoteric and esoteric doctrine, for in respect of truths, Ananda, the Tathagata has no such thing as the closed fist of a teacher, who keeps something back".
Muhammad (pbuh) on the commandment of Almighty God delivered the message and doctrine without making any distinction between esoteric and exoteric. The Qur'an was recited in public in the days of the Prophet and is being done so till date. The Prophet had strictly forbidden the Muslims from hiding the doctrine
3. Devoted Servitors of the Buddhas:
According to Sacred Books of the East volume 11 pg. 97 Maha-Parinibbana Sutta Chapter 5 verse 36:
"Then the Blessed one addressed the brethren, and said, ‘Whosoever, brethren have been Arahat-Buddhas through the long ages of the past, they were servitors just as devoted to those Blessed ones as Ananda has been to me. And whosoever brethren shall be the Arahat-Buddhas of the future, there shall be servitors as devoted to those Blessed ones as Ananda has been to me’."
The Servitor of Buddha was Ananda. Muhammad (pbuh) also had a servitor by the name Anas (r.a.) who was the son of Malik. Anas (r.a...) was presented to the Prophet by his parents. Anas (r.a...) relates: "My mother said to him, 'Oh Messenger of God, here is your little servant'." Further Anas relates, "I served him from the time I was 8 years old and the Prophet called me his son and his little beloved". Anas (r.a...) stayed by the Prophet in peace and in war, in safety as well as in danger till the end of his life.
i) Anas (r.a.), even though he was only 11 years old stayed beside the Prophet during the battle of Uhud where the Prophet’s life was in great danger.
ii) Even during the battle of Honain when the Prophet was surrounded by the enemies who were archers, Anas (r.a...) who was only 16 years old stood by the Prophet.
Anas (R) can surely be compared with Ananda who stood by Gautam Buddha when the mad elephant approached him.
4. Six Criteria for Identifying Buddha:
According to the Gospel of Buddha by Carus pg. 214:
"The Blessed one said, ‘There are two occasions on which a Tathagata’s appearance becomes clear and exceedingly bright. In the night Ananda, in which a Tathagata attains to the supreme and perfect insight, and in the night in which he passes finally away in that ultra passing which leaves nothing whatever of his earthly existence to remain.’ "
According to Gautam Buddha, following are the six criteria for identifying a Buddha.
i) A Buddha attains supreme and perfect insight at night-time.
ii) On the occasion of his complete enlightenment he looks exceedingly bright
iii) Buddha dies a natural death.
iv) He dies at night-time.
v) He looks exceedingly bright before his death.
vi) After his death a Buddha ceases to exist on earth.
i) Muhammad (pbuh) attained supreme insight and Prophethood at night-time.
According to Surah Dukhan:
"By the books that makes thing clear – We sent it down during a blessed night."[Al-Qur'an 44:2-3]
According to Surah Al-Qadar:
"We have indeed revealed this (message) in the night of power."[Al-Qur'an 97:1]
ii) Muhammad (pbuh) instantly felt his understanding illumined with celestial light.
iii) Muhammad (pbuh) died a natural death.
iv) According to Ayesha (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) expired at night-time. When he was dying there was no oil in the lamp and his wife Ayesha (r.a.) had to borrow oil for the lamp.
v) According to Anas (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) looked exceedingly bright in the night of his death.
vi) After the burial of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) he was never seen again in his bodily form on this earth.
5. Buddhas are only Preachers:
According to Dhammapada, Sacred Books of East volume 10 pg., 67:
"The Jathagatas (Buddhas) are only Preachers."
The Qur’an says in Surah Ghashiya:
"Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs."[Al-Qur'an 88:21-22]
6. Identification of Maitreya by Buddha:
According to Dhammapada, Mattaya Sutta, 151:
"The promised one will be:
i) Compassionate for the whole creation
ii) A messenger of peace, a peace-maker
iii) The most successful in the world.
The Maitreya as a Preacher of morals will be:
i) Truthful
ii) Self-respecting
iii) Gentle and noble
iv) Not proud
v) As a king to creatures
vi) An example to others in deeds and in words".
