The mission of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is universal. In 2019, a Hindu scholar wrote a book called Kalki Avatar and Muhammad Sahib, in which he proved that the last leader is Muhammad, peace be upon him, from the Vedas and Hindu religious texts.  Proved that there is a concept of prophethood in Hinduism and there is also a mention of Muhammad (peace be upon him).  How Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him) can be meant. This article has been prepared to remove these complaints.
The second period of Hinduism is called the period of Brahman. Starting from 800 BC to 300 BC, this period lasted. Brahmin declared himself the best.  Where there were changes in the teachings of the Vedas, there was also a significant change in the concept of prophethood and Risalat. Brahmin denied the prophethood of his religious supremacy because in that case his supremacy would have been preserved.  Perhaps there is no concept of prophethood in it, but the fact is that there is a concept of this prophethood
 The purpose of this paper is to make it clear that it is not far-fetched that our Leader Muhammad (peace be upon him) is meant by Kalki avatar.  Denial of prophethood in Hinduism was replaced by the concept of avatar after some reform movements. Then the element of deity was added to avatar.  In the commandments of Prophethood, there is moderation, there is equality, there is brotherhood, but the outdated system created by Brahman took the form of a humanistic system. Hinduism tried to keep its members together in different ways, but this religion got divided into different branches due to differences in ways of attaining salvation, rather these branches got separate religious identities.
To clarify that the concept of Kalki avatar in Hinduism might refer to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and to analyze the historical reasons behind the denial of prophethood within Hinduism, particularly during the Brahmanic period.
The study appears to be a critical analysis and historical review of religious texts and concepts, focusing on the interpretation of Hindu scriptures in relation to Islamic prophethood. It involves examining the evolution of religious concepts within Hinduism, specifically the shift from prophethood to avatar and the subsequent deification of avatars.

The paper argues that the denial of prophethood in Hinduism was a strategic move by the Brahmins to preserve their authority. It contrasts the principles of prophethood (moderation, equality, brotherhood) with the hierarchical and humanistic systems that developed in Hinduism. The author posits that the concept of avatar, initially a divine manifestation, evolved to accommodate the idea of a final leader, which the paper links to Prophet Muhammad.
The Brahmanic period in Hinduism (800 BC - 300 BC) saw a shift in religious teachings, including a change in the concept of prophethood. Brahmins allegedly denied prophethood to maintain their religious supremacy. The concept of "avatar" later emerged, which eventually incorporated elements of divinity. The paper suggests that the concept of Kalki avatar could potentially refer to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
The study concludes that it is plausible that the Kalki avatar mentioned in Hindu texts refers to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It highlights the historical context of religious reform and power struggles within Hinduism that led to the alteration of its theological concepts, including the concept of prophethood.
