5.0 out of 5 stars Reviewing the 'M I W S': My humble opinion, October 2, 2000

This review is from: Muhammad in World Scriptures: The Bible (Hardcover)

Reading this very work of A.H. Vidyarthi is really an exciting experiance. The title itself is enough to catch the reader and their mind to go futher and futher in the reading. The message is crystal clear. The writer firmly upholding the idea that the Prophet Muhammad have been mentioned in the earliest sacred scriptures of the world religions. Actually, that is what the Quran states. From the approach taken, the writer strongly agrees that all of the world's major religions derive from the same source of the religion brought by the Prophet Muhammad. If not, how can his coming have been mentioned in those scriptures.

Touching about Muhammad in the Old and New Testament is not a suprising discussion, for the Quran itself talks about these two Holy Books a lot via its content. The Quran also tells and narates almost quarter of its content about Moses and Jesus. Nevertheless if we put the traditions and sayings of the Prophet himself in account. The relationship of historical banckground of these trio monotheism religions is well known. But to talk about Muhammad in Hinduism and Buddhism scriptures (for example), is very an extra intresting topic.

Via this volume, the writer covers the topic regarding the prophecies of the coming Muhammad in the Torah and Bible. The discussion is so good and details, supported by very sound research methods. However, no matter how good this work is, we should clear in our mind, all the discussions and opinions in this book is merely the personal opinions of the writer. Eventhough I enjoy the book, but in some points, I'm disagree with the intrepetations of some Quranic verses.

Basically, this work is amazing. I do suggest this book for anybody especially those who love the subject of comparative religions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Scholarly work, in need of Vol II, October 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Muhammad in World Scriptures: The Bible (Hardcover)

Dr. Vidyarthi must have done ages of research and hard work to have written this part of the book. Basically dealing with divine revelations about the coming of a Prophet in earlier scriptures, this book only deals with Bible and the Torah. Second Volume is desperately needed which should deal with Vedas and Puranas of Hinduism. His original work in Urdu has dealt with it.

All in all, a good read, which might be warded away as wishful interpretation by Dr. Vidyarthi, by those who have no sound arguments to discredit or disprove his interpretations.

This review is from: Muhammad in World Scriptures: The Bible (Hardcover)

Anyone in any beliefs who are seeking the truth and who are looking for an in-depth revelation of prophecies have to read this book. Set aside your feelings of not being a Muslim and read it with an open mind and perception and your thinking will change. It will perhaps change your life and beliefs. Things that are not revealed (or things that are concealed) by our priests and pastors and Rabis, you will find them explained in details in this book. This writer must have spent his entire life decrypting these prophecies and a life well spent. Only for us now to read it. The origins or words from the original languages are defined. The Bible has change the meanings of words from their origin to mean other fitting English meanings, hence, to mislead everyone. You want the truth? It's the best book you will every spend money on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
