INCIDENTS AND PROPHECIES
The incident occurred in July, 1951. A team of Russian experts found certain wooden pieces while excavating in the valley of Qaf. The group officer started excavating further and found a lot many pieces of wood that were surely hiding a secret. Upon further excavation, a wooden tablet too was found along with the pieces of wood. The experts were surprised to see that while the majority of wooden pieces had rotten, this 14-inch long and 10-inch broad tablet had not been affected by the ravages of time.
Towards the end of 1952, the experts came to conclusion that these woods belonged to the ship of Noah (Nooh). The ship had finally embarked near a mountain peak Joodi in the mountains of Qaf. They also concluded that the tablet, on which something was written in an old language, had been fixed on the ship when it was sailing in the sea.
The Soviet government instituted a board of seven experts to find what was written on the tablet. Following were the seven members of the board:
Prof. Solomon (Sula Nouf), Professor of Languages, Moscow University
Prof. Ifahan Kheeno, scholar in ancient languages, Luluhan College, China
Mr. Mishaou Lu Farug. Officer I/C fossils, manager of ancient monuments
Mr. Taumol Goru, Professor of Languages, Cafezud/Kivzo College
Prof. De Pakan, Professor of ancient monuments, Lenin Institute
Mr. M. Ahmad Colad, Manager of general excavations and discoveries, Zitcomen Research Association
Major Cottor/Kolotov, Head of Stalin University
The board started its work on 27th February, 1953 and after 8 months of research, they concluded that the tablet was made of the same wood from which the ship of Noah was made. They also concluded that Noah had placed this tablet on the ship to safeguard it from calamities.
The Russian experts translated the text on the tablet in Russian language, which was translated by Mr. N.F. Mox of Manchester, England, into English. Mr. Mox was an expert on ancient languages. The translation is as follows:
O my God, help me … hold my hand as you are the most beneficient
And because of your lofty Selfs.
Mohammad, Ailya, Shabbar, Shabbir, Fatima
Who all the greatest and worthy of our respects
The entire world has been created only because of them
In their names, help me
You are the one who guides towards truth.
(Ailya is another name of Ali and Shabbar and Shabbir are names of Hasan and Husain, thus making the Panj-tan or the five persons.)
Interestingly, we have shown in Part I of this BOOK from the Chhandogya Upanishad that it too is talking of the five persons of Brahman (Allah) as the door-keepers of heaven. Noah wrote these five persons guide towards truth and Chhandogya says heaven is courtesy them. Naturally, heaven will only be given to those on the true path.
III.13.6 of the Chhandogya Upanishad says:
They indeed, who are these five persons of Brahman (the Absolute God), are the door-keepers of the heavenly world. He who thus knows these five persons of Brahman, as the door-keepers of the heavenly world, a hero is born in his family. He who knows thus these five persons of Brahman, as the door-keepers of the heavenly world, attains the heavenly world.
When the aforementioned script came to the forefront, everyone was greatly surprised. Their greatest surprise was that while the rest of the wood had rotten and was taken out in bad condition, the wood that contained these names was intact even after remaining buried for thousands of years.
This tablet is still kept at Russia’s Centre for Archaeological Sciences, Moscow.

When Noah’s ship finally rested after the Great Flood, then the Messenger of God, Noah, came down from the ship with his companions and said:
God, I shower the utmost praises on you, I thank you greatly that you saved me from your wrath, and I also thank your Prophet Ahmed and also that Ailya who helped me, who will be born in your house, and I thank the daughter of your Prophet Mohammad and also thank her sons, who also helped me.

The year was 1916 and the First World War was in progress. A few army men were passing from close to Bethlehem (Baitul Muqaddas). When they passed from a small village named Oontar, a few miles away from Bethlehem, they saw a light coming out from a mound at night. The soldiers stopped upon seeing this light. Some of the soldiers proceeded towards the source of light. When they reached nearer, they found that there was a small mound of sand and stone and the light was coming out from a crack in the mound. The soldiers started digging at the place. After digging for about 4 yards, they unearthed a silver tablet, which was emanating the white rays of light that attracted them to it. This tablet was about ¾ yard long and ½ yard broad. When they took it out, the light stopped coming out of it. This further perplexed them. They were jubilant on unearthing the tablet but were also afraid because of the ceasing of the light. They took the tablet to their senior officer whose name was Major A.N. Gadgill. He saw the tablet through the torch and was dumbstruck on seeing it. Innumerable precious jems and jewels were pasted on its corners and in the midst of it were written few words in gold. Major was unable to read what was written but he knew that this was not an ordinary tablet.
From Major Gadgill, this tablet was transferred to the man in charge of British troops, Lt. General D.O. Gladstone, who handed it over to few British experts on archaeology.
Research started on this tablet in 1918. A committee was made of the experts of European languages. After several months of research, this committee concluded that this tablet belonged to Solomon. The words on this tablet were written in ancient Hebrew language. The same language had been used in Zuboor and Gazlul Ghazlat. The committee was finally able to solve the mystery on 21st January, 1920.
The committee was amazed to find that the tablet contained the names of Ahmad, Ali, Butool, Hasan and Husain. It was decided that the tablet should be kept in the British Imperial Museum, England. But when the highest priest of England, the Lord Bishop got to know of the details of this research, he was greatly disturbed. On 1st of March, 1923, it was secretly decided that if this tablet is kept in a museum, or at a place which is frequented by common men, it would prove to be the graveyard for Christianity. It was decided that it would be better to keep it in a special secret room of the Church, so that none other than those who knew of it could know about it. Since then, the light emanating from the names mentioned on this tablet has remained confined to the secret and dark room of the Church.

What is written on this tablet?
[The book which is the source of this information also has a photograph of this tablet, the text of which is as follows:]
Allah, Ahmad,
Aily, Bahtool,
Haasan, Haasin.
Help me.
O Ahmad, come
O Bahtool, keep an eye on me
O Haasan, shower your favour
O Haasin, bestow happiness
O Ali, O Ali, O Ali.
This Sulaiman is seeking only from these five
And the power of Allah is Aily.

The Prayer of Solomon
[Translation:]
My friend whose colour is wheatish, he is one in thousands, the light on his head shines like a mirror. His hair is curly and dark like a night. His both eyes are as if pure water is placed in a utensil cleaned with milk and on it two pigeons are swimming. Or as if two precious stones have been placed at their places, the beard on his face is like a sweet-smelling creeper. His moon-like face smells in fragrances. His lips are like the petals of flowers. From whom a very pleasing smell arises. His hands are moulded in gold. In which jewels shine. His stomach is white and bejewelled, his legs are like poles of white stone that have been placed strongly on golden feet. His face shines like a full-moon, he is young like the plant of sanobar and very well-mannered.
This is my friend, Mohammad! O, daughters of Jerusalem!

The Prayer of David (Dawood) in the Sacred Book Zuboor
[Translation:]
It is obligatory to obey the person whose name is Aily. Only through following him the worldly and religious merit is achieved. That person who is worthy of respect is also called Hedar (Haider).He is the support of the weak, a lion, extremely powerful, who will be born in Khaba (Kaaba). Hold him and live a servant to him. Hear, all those who have ears, understand all those who have brains, think, all those who have hearts, if time passes you won’t be able to retrieve it. He alone is the support of my life and body.
[(The original manuscript was in possession of Priest Ahjanud Damishqi, Syria and the Mufti of Egypt said that he saw it with his own eyes)); Risalahul Haram, Cairo, Zeeqat 1374; Ailya, Lahore, p.10]

Ved Shastri Lala Hargovind in his book Bodha Chamatkar, Omkar Pustkalaya, Kanpur, 1927, published from Saraswati Press, Bombay and Ram Narayan Banarsi’s Risala Bodha Gyan states that when Buddha was on his death bed and his favourite pupil Ananda was crying by his side, Buddha said:
Dear Ananda, don’t cry. Don’t lament. I have already told you that it is human nature to leave things dear to him. Anand! Remember that I am not the only Buddha who has come to this world and neither will I be the last of this chain. When the time will come, another Buddha will arrive, who will be the light of the God. He will be pure and reverential and will be given knowledge. He will be famous. One who knows the secrets of the universe. One who will guide the mankind. Teacher of the Jinns and Humans. He will also guide you to the Everlasting Truth that I have shown to you. If my followers are in hundreds, his followers will be in thousands.

He will be known as one who will put an end to the chain of rishis and prophets. On his head, there will be a five-faced crown. That will shine like the sun and the moon. The bigger gem of his is called Ailya. Remember, all these pure beings have taken birth at the beginning, but there is still some time for them to appear. Cruel people will great harm his gems. They will leave no stone unturned to vanquish them. But God will uphold their names, their work and their descendants till the end of the world. Ananda, crores of people like you and me will get tired in his wait. But one who will assist him or his pure companions will be the lucky one. I cannot tell you anything more.

Once Gautama (prior to his enlightenment) was asleep in his room when he got up with a shriek. He was crying and tears were rolling down his eyes. Upon hearing his shriek, his minister, who was sleeping nearby, got up from sleep. He asked the prince whether he has seen some dreadful dream. The Prince said that it was a dream itself but something other than a dream. The minister cajoled the prince to recount what he had seen and he said:
Minister, you know that I read religious scriptures with great care. And I try to find the puzzles surrounding religions. You also know that I endeavour a lot in worship of Ishwar and go into the forests to see his wonders. Don’t ask what happened today.
Some Paramatma blessed me today and said that my tapasya has succeeded. He said: Go and recount my name and you will get what you desire. My name is Ailya. If you need to meet me, my house is close, it is at the Putra sthan, close to the torn wall. You will find me as a child there. But that time is still far away.
(Translated from Urdu into English)
Ailya is another name for Ali. Interestingly, it is universally acknowledged by all Christians that Jesus, while still alive on the cross, remembered somebody named Ailya and questioned why Ailya had forsaken him at that moment. The question itself tells a few things. It shows Ailya must have been helping Jesus on several occasions during his life. Moreover, it shows Ailya must have been a character higher than Jesus and one who had the power to help him. Instead, some Christians conclude that a past prophet Ailya is meant by this, while others say it is another name for God. Past prophet Ailya cannot be meant here because Ailya was an inferior prophet to Jesus in ranking and there is no reason why Jesus would invoke a past prophet who was already dead. Other argument that Ailya is reference to God may be taken as viable but there are two limitations: neither Jesus nor any other Prophet before him ever used the term Ailya for God. Secondly, when there already is a mass of literature which defines who Ailya is and can be found both in pre-Jesus and post-Jesus narrations, why coin a new meaning to the term?

These are just a few such incidents and prophesies that we could lay our hands on. We are not talking about Sanatan scriptures here as we will talk about it in more detail in Part III of this BOOK. Once you read the Vedas with us, you will find that all these prophecies given by us are nothing in comparison to what the Vedas possess. After all, Vedas are not the first of the divine scriptures for nothing!

Quran’s Confirmation of the Previous Messengers
Quran says clearly that a large number of messengers were sent. While those like Solomon, David, Moses, Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, etc. are clearly mentioned by names, there are a lot many others whose name has not been taken. Also, it is stated that these messengers were sent all across the world, even to remote places.
Verse 25 of Chapter Hadid in the Quran says:
Verily, We sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and revealed with them the book and the scale, that mankind may observe right measure (establish themselves in justice).
Likewise, verse 51 of Chapter al-Shura says:
It is not to any mortal (man) that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration or through (from behind) a veil.
We will find later (in Part-III) that the Vedic hymns too were revealed by inspiration on sages, owing to tapa-prabhav (extreme worship leading to purity of spirit) and deva-prasad (gift of devatas).
Quran also says:
As for those who strive in Us, We certainly show them our paths.
Quran. Ankabut. 69
The institutions of God have been working since even prior to our creation. In fact we owe our creation to them. When God has created them, we are none to seek justification. Our job is to recognize them and accept them, in case we wish to be treated as obedient subordinates of the Creator’s empire.
All the Messengers, barring Prophet Mohammad himself, were sent to particular tribes or regions. Their message was for their people alone. As Quran says in 3:49 Jesus was the Messenger for the Israelites alone:
And (make him) a messenger to the children of Israel: That I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I determine for you out of dust like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird with Allah’s permission and I heal the blind and the leprous, and bring the dead to life with Allah’s permission and I inform you of what you should eat and what you should store in your houses; most surely there is a sign in this for you, if you are believers.
That Isa was sent as “a messenger to the children of Bani Israel”, is not said in Quran itself but he himself maintained this view and said so on various occasions. Please refer to Matthew 15: 22 to 26 wherein it is also stated that Isa had declared:
I was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and to them alone.
As per Matthew 10: 5 and 6, Isa commanded his twelve disciples:
Do not take the road to gentile lands, and do not enter a Samaritan town; but go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel (to proclaim the message).
Modern Christian scholars have to acknowledge the advice of Isa, and his earliest disciples, not to treat his message as universal. The fact that they did so is another story!
“The earlier group of disciples, it is true, did not appreciate the universality of the teaching of Jesus, nor did Jesus seek converts outside Israel”.
(Encyclopedia Britannica 29 volumes 11th edition-London)
Also, Prophet Isa has made it clear in his following statement that he was only a mortal, created by Allah, and not god as the Christian church wrongly claims:
But about the day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, not even the son; only the Father.
(Mark 13:32)
It is clear from these that the Messengers had ceaselessly tried to guide and reveal the identity of the Ahlulbayt. Whosoever follows the true path told by these messengers, it is only for the good of his own soul that he does so, and whosoever errs, errs only to hurt himself. Each soul earns only on its own account. Several verses in Quran tell clearly that there is no compulsion in religion and man has been given an independent free will to act.
(See Baqarah, 48; An-Am, 165; Hijr, 42; Bani Israel, 7 and 15; Ankabut, 6; Fatir, 17; ZOmar, 7; Ha-Mim, 46; and Dahr, 2)
Messengers have repeatedly told the true path all across the globe. Even the names of the true representatives of God, the Ahlulbayt or the People of the House (of God) have been foretold. It is up to us whether we accept it or not.
