The Lost Connection

Many centuries before prophet Muhammad and the advent of Islam, Arabia or Arabistan was an extremely rich and glorious center of Vedic civilization.

Arabistan is derived from the original Sanskrit term Arvasthan which means The Land of Horses. Since time immemorial proponents of the Vedic culture used to breed exceptional horses in this region. Thus eventually the land itself began to be called Arva (Horses) -Sthan (place).

In India the crescent moon is always painted across the forehead of the Siva symbol. Since that symbol was associated with the Siva emblem in Kaaba it came to be grafted on the flag of Islam.

According to Encyclopedia Britannica and Encyclopedia Islamia the Arabs are ignorant of their own history of the pre-Muslim era. By a strange euphemism they call it a period of ignorance and darkness. Probably no other country in the world has deliberately written off a 2,500 year period of their own history by systematically stamping out and snapping all links with the past. They have wiped the memories of preMuslim era off their minds. So while they chose to remain ignorant of their past ironically enough it is they who dub the pre-Muslim era as a period of ignorance.

Fortunately we can still trace the history of that preIslamic Arabia. It is a well known adage that there is no such thing as foolproof destruction of all evidence. The pre-Islamic history of Arabia is the story of Indian Kshatriyas over that land, with the people following the Vedic way of life.

According to Sahih Hadith, Muhammad even considered dismantling Kaba because of pagan(Hindu) origin;
"Narrated Aswad: Ibn Az-Zubair said to me, "Aisha used to tell you secretly a number of things. What did she tell you about the Ka'ba?" I replied, "She told me that once the Prophet said, 'O 'Aisha! Had not your people been still close to the pre-Islamic period of ignorance (infidelity)! I would have dismantled the Ka'ba and would have made two doors in it; one for entrance and the other for exit." Later on Ibn Az-Zubair did the same"
(Sahih Bukhari 1:3:128)

Why do Muslims follow the Hindu rituals :
1. Shaving the heads as Hindus do for pilgrimages.
2. Circumambulating the God-House as Hindus
3. Collecting {Zam-Zam} holy water as Hindus
4. Worshiping the Black stone - Shivling as in Hinduism
5. Wearing White seamless long cloth {as Indian Sari – not of Arabic/Jewish culture}
6. Why Kaaba with one door similar to Hindu God-houses
7. Why cube shaped God - houses similar to Hindu God-houses
8. Why Fridays are holy in Islam, as in Hinduism, etc?
