Dear Readers and Peacemaker, Many people in the East e.g India, China, South East Asia and Japan had mistaken That the Last Sage or Honored was Buddha while the Chinese viewed that Lao Tzu or Confucius Was their most prominent Sage that send by Heaven to uphold the true divine worship and establish a balanced social rule/law ethics for mankind.
But both these great Sages did not fulfilled what were foretold in this brilliant TEXTUAL PROOFS from the Chinese Classics itself That merit a deeper and extensive comparative study with Islamic view of Rasul-Khatamul Anbiya wal-Mursalin. Please enjoy your surfing and get reftreshed. It is true ? Go and verify it from the translation of James Legge ! DESCRIPTION OF A SAGE/RASUL FROM CHUNG-YUNG (DOCTRINE OF THE MEAN-CHINESE CLASSICS) It is only he , possessed of all SAGELY qualities that can exist under heaven, who can show himself quick in apprehension , clear in discerning , of far reaching intelligence , and all embracing KNOWLEDGE , fitted to exercise RULE ,magnanimous , generous , benign and mild ( harisun /raufur rahim ), fitted to EXERCISE forbearance ( hilm /sabr), impulsive , energetic , firm , and enduring,
fitted to maintain a FIRM HOLD ( urwatul wusqa ), self adjusted , grave , never serving from the MEAN / MIDDLE ( Istiqama ) and correct, fitted to COMMAND ( Amar ) reverence ; accomplished , distinctive, and searching ,
fitted to exercise DISCRIMINATION ( furqan ). All embracing is he and vast ( innaka ala Khuluqi azim ), deep and active as a fountain ( rahmata lil-alamin ), sending forth in their due season his virtues ( rahma /syafaa ). �p112. He is seen , and people revere him ; He speaks , and all people believe him ; He acts and the people are pleased with him ( atiu � Llah wa atiur Rasul ) ;
..therefore his fame overspreads the middle kingdom ( ummatan wasatan ) and extended to all foreign races. Where ships and carriages reach; Wherever the strength of man penetrates; Wherever the heaven overshadow and
The earth sustains ; Wherever the sun and moon shine ( was syamsi wa qamar ) ; where the frost and dews falls � all who have blood and breath unfeignly honor and love him. Hence it is said � � He is equal of Heaven �. �p113. Who can know him ,but he who is indeed quick in apprehension, clear in discerment, of far reaching intellect and all embracing knowledge , possessing heavenly virtue ( iman/ihsan). The superior man accords / follow with the course of the Mean ( Middle Path ) . Though he may be all unknown , unregarded by the world , he feels no regret ; It is only the SAGE who is able for this ! p-55 The Way which the superior man pursues , reache s wide and far , and yet is secret / concealed. P-55
I think the above descrition went far beyond Budhha and Confucius/Lao Tzu. Hence do not worship me and made idols of the past sages. It is the coming of our Noble Last Messenger of Islam that fulfilled that picture.

Assalamu Alaikum, Jazak Allah Khair for your contributions, Brother. Many Hindus are still waiting for Kalki Avatar (I don't want to go into details about him as this section is not meant for that). But, many others have embraced Islam after finding out that the characteristics of Kalki Avatar can only match that of Prophet Muhammad ( peace be upon him ). http://www.islamicity.com/islamiTV/?ref=1034 Peace |
