Vedic Past of Pre-Islamic Arabia by Aditi Chaturvedi

Dedicated to those unknown peaceful Hindus who have been slaughtered over 1400 years
and even now .
in the name of murderous religion of Islam.
Some people wrongly believe that Arabs used the word Hindu as a term of contemptuous
abuse. Nothing could be further from the truth. The people of pre-Islamic Arabia held
Hinduism in great esteem as evidenced from the fact that they would endearingly
call their most attractive and favourite daughters as Hinda and Saifi Hindi. The fact that
Arabs regarded India as their spiritual and cultural motherland long before the
damaging influence of Islam is corroborated by the following poem which mentions
each one of the four Vedas by name:
"Aya muwarekal araj yushaiya noha minar HIND-e Wa aradakallaha manyonaifail jikaratun"
"Oh the divine land of HIND (India) (how)
art the chosen of God blessed with knowledge"
"Wahalatijali
Yatun
minal HINDATUN "

"Two others, the Rig and Athar(va) teach us fraternity; Sheltering under their lustre dispels
darkness till eternity"
This poem was written by Labi-Bin-E- Akhtab-Bin-E-Turfa who lived in
Arabia
around
1850
B.C. That was
2300
years before Mohammed!!! This verse can be found in
Sair- Ul- Okul which is an anthology of ancient Arabic poetry. It was compiled in 1742 AD under
order of the Turkish Sultan Salim.
That the Vedas were the religious scriptures to which the Arabs owed allegiance as early as
1800 B.C. proves not only the antiquity of the Vedas but also the existence of Indian rule over
the entire region from the Indus to the Mediterranean, because it is a fact of history that the
religion of the ruler is practised by his subjects.

Now READ AN ARABIC POEM ON LORD SHIVA WRITTEN BY MOHAMMED'S UNCLE?!

In SAYAR-UL-OKUL is a poem by UMAR-BINE-HASSNAM (Poetic Title: ABDUL-HAQIM meaning
Father of Knowledge. Prejudiced Muslims changed that name to "Abu Jihal" meaning "father of
ignorance"). He was the elder brother of Prophet Mohammed's father. He refused to get
converted to Islam. He died a martyr at the hands of Muslim fanatics who wanted to wipe out
non-Muslims. This poem was adjudged as the best in the annual fair at Kaaba.

By dint of a pilgrimage of Hind a man attains the merit of noble deeds and gets the privilege

Vikramaditya inscription found in the Kaaba in Mecca

Glancing through some research material recently, I was pleasantly surprised to come
across a reference to a king Vikramaditya inscription found in the Kaaba in Mecca
proving beyond doubt that the Arabian Peninsula formed a part of his Indian Empire.
The text of the crucial Vikramaditya inscription, found inscribed on a gold dish hung
inside the Kaaba shrine in Mecca, is found recorded on page 315 of a volume known
as Sayar-ul-Okul treasured in the Makhtab-e-Sultania library in Istanbul, Turkey.
Rendered in free English the inscription says:
"Fortunate are those who were born (and lived) during king Vikrams reign. He was a
noble, generous dutiful ruler, devoted to the welfare of his subjects. But at that time
we Arabs, oblivious of God, were lost in sensual pleasures. Plotting and torture were
rampant. The darkness of ignorance had enveloped our country. Like the lamb
struggling for her life in the cruel paws of a wolf we Arabs were caught up in
ignorance. The entire country was enveloped in darkness as intense as on a new
moon night. But the present dawn and pleasant sunshine of education is the result of
the favour of the noble king Vikramaditya whose benevolent supervision did not lose
sight of us- foreigners as we were. He spread his sacred religion amongst us and sent
scholars whose brilliance shone like that of the sun from his country to ours. These
scholars and preceptors through whose benevolence we were once again made
cognisant of the presence of God, introduced to His sacred existence and put on the
road of Truth had come to our country to preach their religion and impart education at
king Vikramadityas behest."
For those who would like to read the Arabic wording I reproduce it hereunder in Roman
script:

"Itrashaphai Santu Ibikramatul Phahalameen Karimun Yartapheeha

Wayosassaru Bihillahaya Samaini
Ela Motakabberen Sihillaha Yuhee Quid min howa Yapakhara phajjal asari
nahone osirom bayjayhalem.
Yundan blabin Kajan blnaya khtoryaha sadunya kanateph netephi
bejehalin Atadari bilamasa- rateen
phakef tasabuhu kaunnieja majekaralhada walador. As hmiman
burukankad toluho watastaru hihila
Yakajibaymana balay kulk amarena phaneya jaunabilamary Bikramatum".
(Page 315 Sayar-ul-okul).
[Note: The title Saya-ul-okul signifies memorable words.]
A careful analysis of the above inscription enables us to draw the following
conclusions:
1.
That the ancient Indian empires may have extended up to the eastern
boundaries of Arabia until Vikramaditya and that it was he who for the first time
conquered Arabia. Because the inscription says that king Vikram dispelled the
darkness of ignorance from Arabia.
2. That, whatever their earlier faith, King Vikramas preachers had succeeded in
spreading the Vedic (based on the Vedas, the Hindu sacred scriptures way of life in
Arabia.
3. That the knowledge of Indian arts and sciences was imparted by Indians to the
Arabs directly by founding schools, academies and cultural centres. The belief,
therefore, that visiting Arabs conveyed that knowledge to their own lands through
their own indefatigable efforts and scholarship is unfounded.
