[[File:Alberunis India.jpg|300px|thumb|right|The cover of the 1910 english translated edition of [[Alberuni's India|Kitab al-Hind]], which was originally the first detailed Muslim work on [[Indology]] and [[Hinduism]].]]
Among classical Muslim works on [[Indology]], [[Alberuni]] in his book [[Alberuni's India|Kitab al-Hind]] ({{lang-ar|تحقيق ما للهند من مقولة مقبولة في العقل أو مرذولة}}, {{transliteration|ar| Taḥqīq mā li-l-hind min maqūla maqbūla fī l-ʿaql aw mardhūla}}, meaning: A Critical Study of Indian Doctrines, Whether Rationally Acceptable or Not), first gave the detailed description about Indian religious histories and beliefs along with the relation of [[Sufism]] with it. [[Al-Masudi]] also wrote about [[Indology]] and the root creeds and customs of [[Hinduism]] in his book [[The Meadows of Gold|Murūj aḏ-Ḏahab wa-Maʿādin al-Jawhar]]. [[Ibn Khaldun]] also dicussed on Indology in his two books [[Muqaddimah]] and [[Kitab al-ibar]] as well as [[Ibn al-Athir]] in his book [[The Complete History|Al-Kāmil fit-Tārīkh]].

[[Abu Bakar Muhammad Zakaria]] in his book "Hindusiat wa Tasur" said that, ancient [[Dravid]]ian Indians were the decendant of [[Ham]], one of the [[sons of Noah]], and the [[Aryan]]s were the decendants of [[Japheth]], another of the three remained sons of [[Noah]] after [[Genesis flood narrative|Biblical great flood]],
{{quote|This is what historians have mentioned regarding the origin of the people of India, although the truth of the matter is that all are from [[Adam]], and Adam is from dust, and God has destroyed the children of Adam except for [[sons of Noah|Noah's children]]. The Almighty said: In it, the [[sons of Noah]] who remained after the Flood were three: [[Ham]] - [[Shem]] - [[Japheth]], and the sons of Noah spread all over the world ([[as-Saaffat]]  37:75-82, [[Al-Bidaya wa l-Nihaya|Al-Bidaya wa al-Nihaya]], [[Ibn Kathir]], [https://ar.m.wikisource.org/wiki/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%A9_%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D9%87%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%A9/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D8%B2%D8%A1_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84/%D9%82%D8%B5%D8%A9_%D9%86%D9%88%D8%AD_%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%87_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85 1/111-114]), and the lands at that time were close, and the seas were far apart, and it is said that [[Sindh]] and [[Al-Hind]] are the sons of Tawqeer (Bouqir) (Nawfer) bin Yaqtan bin Aber bin Shalekh bin Arfakhshad bin Sam bin Noah. It was said: One of the sons of Ham, [[Al-Masudi]] says: (Nuvir bin Lot bin Ham walked his son and those who followed him to the land of Hind and Sindh), and [[Ibn al-Athir]] ([[The Complete History|Al-Kāmil fit-Tārīkh]]) says: (As for [[Ham]], [[Cush (Bible)|Kush]], [[Misraim]], [[Phut]], and [[Canaan]] were born... It was said: He traveled to Al-Hind (India) and Sindh and lodged it and its people from his sons and [[Ibn Khaldun]] says: As for Ham, from his sons are the [[Sudan]], Hind (India), Sindh, the [[Copt]]s (Kibt), and Canaan by agreement... As for Kush bin Ham, five of his sons are mentioned in the Torah, and they are sufun, [[Saba]], and Juila and [[Rama]] and Safakha and from the sons of Rama Shao, who are the Sindh, and Dadan, who are Hind or India, and in it that [[Nimrod]] is from the birth of Kush,..... and that Al-Hind (India), Sindh and Habasha ([[Abyssinia]]) are from the children of the [[Sudan]] from the birth of [[Kush]]. From the foregoing it appears to me: that India entered it at that time from all the races of decendants of Noah, and among the most prominent of them were the sons of [[Shem]] bin Noah, peace be upon him, but the sincere [[Dravid]]s and those who are likely to be the sons of [[Ham]] entered it in abundance. As for the entry of the sons of [[Japheth]], it was little, and they are the ones who were known as the [[Turanian]]s, and by joining the ancient Dravid society and as a result of breeding with them, the born Dravids came as previously explained.<ref name="AHWT"/>}}

[[Ziaur Rahman Azmi]] in his book "Fusulun fi Adianil Hindi, al-Hindusiatu, Wal Buziatu, Wal Zainiatu, Was Sikhiatu and Alakatut Tasawwfi Biha" (Surveys of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism as well as Indian Religions and their relationship with Sufism  Relation') said that, [[Hamite]] [[Kol people|Kol]] race came from [[Southeast Asia]], lived in Mohenjodaro in India in the third century BC, the [[Turanian]]s came and defeated them and mixed with them, the [[Dravid]] race arose, who [[Mohenjodaro]] in Sindh.  They settled in the [[Harappan]] city and then spread into South India, and they divided into four groups according to their language, Kannada, Malayam, Tamil and Telugu.<ref name="AHWT">{{cite book |title=الهندوسية وتأثر بعض الفرق الاسلامية بها |date=2016|last1=Zakaria|first1=abu Bakar Muhammad|author-link1=Abubakar Muhammad Zakaria |publisher=Dār al-Awrāq al-Thaqāfīyah |isbn=978-603-90755-6-1 |pages=17, 63, 95-96, 102, 156, 188-189, 554-558, 698-99, 825, 990-991, 1067-1068, 1071, 1159 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zLGztAEACAAJ&q=%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%87%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%88%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9+%D9%88%D8%AA%D8%A3%D8%AB%D8%B1+%D8%A8%D8%B9%D8%B6+%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%82+%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A5%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9+%D8%A8%D9%87%D8%A7 |access-date=28 July 2023  |language=ar}}</ref> 
During this time they continued to clash with the [[Aryans]] from the east of the Indus for several centuries, and the name Hindu was given by the Greeks and Iranians to this Indus (Sindh) word. The inhabitants accepted their allegiance and then the Aryans began to mold the social system and the inhabitants of India entered the [[Vedic]] society.  Azmi cites archaeological similarities as well as linguistic similarities between Sanskrit and Persian, suggesting that the Aryans were of European [[Persian]] origin, and he cites linguistics to suggest that the Sanskrit-speaking Aryans and the Persian-speaking were inhabitants of the same territory, and that they came from Persia.<ref name="AHWT"/> At one point when the Aryans won, the local inhabitants including the Dravidians accepted their allegiance, then the Aryans began to shape the social system and the inhabitants of India entered the [[Vedic]] society. Azmi cites archaeological similarities as well as linguistic similarities between Sanskrit and Persian, suggesting that the Aryans were of European [[Persian]] origin, and he cites linguistics to suggest that the Sanskrit-speaking Aryans and the Persian-speaking were inhabitants of the same territory, and that they came from Persia.<ref name="AHWT"/>The Aryans then divided the natives of India into [[Varna (Hinduism)|four classes]] ([[Caste system in India|caste system]]) in order of status, these being [[Brahmins]] (Arya priests or clerics), [[Kshatriyas]] ([[Rajput]] warriors or Marathas), [[  Vaishya]] (Turani Dravidian traders or traders and farmers) and [[Shudra]] (Turani Dravidian laborers or labourers), the first two being the Aryan upper caste and the latter two the Dravidian lower caste.  According to Azmi, among them, the Shudras were persecuted and disrespected by the Aryans, and in the 20th century they converted en masse, and a large number of people converted to Islam, especially the [[Dalit]] communities in various places, including Tamil Nadu, whose voluntary conversion to Islam was received coverage from the Indian press  , whuch Azmi cites numerous sources with quotations including of [[Babasaheb Ambedkar]].<ref name="AHWT"/> Hindus then concentrated on writing texts which were divided into five eras.  respectively:<ref name=A/>
# The four Vedas were composed in the first age. According to Azmi, Vedic culture was the product of a mixture of Aryan and local Dravidian cultures.  Besides, he rejects the conventional idea of claiming the Vedas as an Abrahamic sahifah book with his own arguments.<ref name="AHWT"/>
# In the second period Hindu philosophers composed the Upanishads, incorporating the basic concepts of [[Sufism]] or Tasawwuf, associated with [[al-Hallaj]], [[Ibn Arabi]] and Sarmad Kashani, who [[Nirvana]] and composed [[Wahdat al-Wujud]] in association with [[Om]], also Ibn Habit, Ahmad Ibn Namus, [[Abu Muslim|Abu Muslim Khorasani]] and [[Abu Bakr al-Razi|Muhammad Ibn Zakariya Raji]]  propagated the concept of [[reincarnation]] of Hinduism in the name of Islam.<ref name="AHWT"/> Also at this time, an Upanishad called [[Allopanishad]] was written during the reign of the Emperor of India [[Akbar the Great|Jalal Uddin Akbar]], where the concept of God in Islam is discussed.
# Compendium of religious practices was prepared in the third period.  [[Smriti]] books were written during this time, among which [[Manusmriti]] is the most notable.
# The Aryan gods started disappearing due to the fusion of the Aryans with the inhabitants of India during the fourth period. The Aryas worshiped [[Indra]] as the god of thunder, Agni as the god of fire, Aruna as the god of the sky and [[Usha]] as the god of the morning.  But later [[Vishnu]] as the god of sustenance and [[Shiva]] as the god of destruction took their place and the [[Purana]]s were written praising these gods. At various places in the books, the story of creation, resurrection and the time between the two Manus and the time between the two destructions of the universe are given. According to Hindu belief this universe is imperishable. It is destroyed and created anew many times. Azmi also claims that, since the Aryan migration took place through Egypt and Syria during the time of the Christian [[Saint Paul]], the Aryans were later influenced by the Christian trinitarianism developed by Saint Paul to develop a trinitarian divine concept consisting of Vishnu, Brahma and Mahadeva (Shiva).<ref name="AHWT"/> 
# In the fifth age, the [[Mahabharata]], the [[Gita]] and the [[Ramayana]] were composed, which contain accounts of the battles of the Aryan leaders and their victories in war.<ref name=A/>
In addition, Hindu scriptures are said to contain descriptions of various Islamic prophecies, including [[Kalki Avatar and Muhammad|the arrival of the Islamic prophet Muhammad]], which [[Muhammad Ibrahim Mir Sialkoti]] and [[Sanaullah Amritsari]] and many others described in their books the 20th century.<ref name="AHWT"/>. Azmi said,  although the Hindu scriptures are not, according to the consensus of Muslims, the Asmani Kitabs ([[Islamic holy books|heavenly books]]), there may be three possible explanations for the inclusion of these Islam-related prophecies in Hinduism,, the first is that, the religion of the Prophet Abraham appeared in Iraq during the period of the Aryans' exodus or migration, when the Aryans left their homeland, perhaps during his time, any other prohet came to India, at whose command these prophecies were incorporated, or the Aryans passing through the region took them from the Torah and the Book of Abraham,<ref name  ="AHWT"/> or, many Hindus say, the Rigveda was copied from the Torah, another view is that the Hindus copied their texts. During revision, they were inserted to please Muslim rulers during Islamic rule, according to Sultan Mubin, professor of [[Sanskrit]] at [[Shibli National College, Azamgarh|Shibli College]], they are fabrications and later additions by Hindus, incorporated by Hindus to please Muslim rulers under Muslim rule,<ref name  ="AHWT"/> such as the [[Kalki Purana]] and the [[Bhavishya Purana]], in which, there are many prophecies in Islamic affairs. Azmi argues, most of the scriptures of Hindus were translated into Arabic in [[Bayt al-Hikmah]] during the reign of Caliph [[al-Mamun|Mamub bin Al-Rashid]], but no author of that time mentioned anything about these prophecies in any of their books.  For example, [[Alberuni's India]] ("Tahqiq ma lilhind min maqulat mayqulat fi aliakal au marjula", تحقيق ما للهند من مقولة مقولة في العقل و مرذولة) and his Arabic translations of two other hindu scriptures, neither of which mentions these prophecies. Azmi claims more support for the latter view.<ref name  ="AHWT"/><ref name=A/><ref name=Ab>{{cite journal |last1=الحافي |first1=د عمر |last2=البصول |first2=السيد علي |title=البشارات بنبؤة محمد في الكتب الهندوسية المقدسة |journal=The Jordanian Journal of Islamic Studies |date=24 June 2010 |volume=9 |issue=1 |pages=2, 12 |url=http://repository.aabu.edu.jo/jspui/handle/123456789/363 |access-date=2 September 2022 |publisher=[[Al al-Bayt University]]}}</ref>

Azmi says about the religion of Hinduism,
{{quote|Every modern and ancient race and religion of the world has some basic beliefs and philosophies on which the followers of that religion believe.  In light of this, they solve their problems and improve their personal and social life. Researchers can gain a better understanding of the reality of an organization or religion by studying these principles. If an organization or religion does not preserve such basic principles or creeds, it can be compared to a lifeless body.  Considering this aspect, it can be said about Hinduism that this religion does not have its own basic principles or religious beliefs.  Hindu devotees also realize that their religion lacks basic tenets.  They even take pride in it.  The Hindu guru [[Gandhi]] said, “The absence of fundamental tenets of Hinduism is a proof of its greatness.  If I am asked in this regard, I will say - freedom from dogma and search for truth is the basic principle of this religion.  In this case, believing in the existence of God or not is the same.  It is not necessary for a Hindu to believe in the existence of God.  Whether one believes in it or not, he will be considered a Hindu.'  He said in his book Hindudharma, 'The peculiarity of Hinduism is that it does not cherish any particular religion. But it includes the beliefs and fundamental concepts of other religions.'<ref name="AHWT"/> That is why Hindu scholars consider all new things sacred. They think this is their goal and purpose. They consider all saints to be men sent by God—creators in human form. Even if he cherishes Hinduism and opposes them in some beliefs, they do not hesitate to regard him as an [[avatar]] until he renounces Hinduism and claims to be a Muslim or a Christian.  The main reason for this is that there is no separate measure of the religious faith of the followers of Hinduism - a follower of Hinduism is considered to be a holder of Hinduism forever.<ref name=A/>}}

Azmi says that the reason behind Hindus' negative perception of Islam is,
{{quote|In my view, Hindus do not understand the reality of Risalat and the essence of Tawheed, the main reason for their conflict and hatred with Muslims. For, those among Muslims who have pursued Hinduism-influenced [[Sufism]] have distorted the correct creeds of Islam — the creeds cherished by the Sahaba and the Tabees in the light of the Qur'an and Sunnah. And Imam [[Ahmad Ibn Hanbal]] who struggled to establish this [[Aqeedah]] (creed) and Shaikhul Islam [[Ibn Taymiyyah]] followed his path and the Imams of Ahlus Sunnat Wal Jamaat followed him. Furthermore, these Sufis mixed Islamic [[Aqeedah]] with [[Idolatry]] beliefs.  The great proof of this is the mausoleums built on many [[graves]] across India and the [[Kufr]] (anti-monotheistic) activities like Tawaf, Sijdah and prayers for help are performed around them. These works are mainly done by Hindus around their [[temple]].  Apart from this, lies and propaganda by Hindu writers about Islam and Islamic religion are equally responsible for this. They have spread massive lies about our history and the life of Rasool ﷺ. A primary student of Hindu scriptures begins his studies with a negative view of Islam and Muslims. That's why, for the Muslims of India, efforts should be made to extensively translate their religious texts into local languages. On the other hand, Muslims ruled India for about eight centuries. But there were generally not many rulers among them, except those specially favored by Allah, who took any initiative to spread the light of Islam among the Hindu masses under them.  Rather, the situation became more dangerous when Hindu scriptures like the [[Vedas]], Gita and [[Ramayana]] were translated into Arabic and Persian at their initiative;  Where they have shown indifference towards the translation of Quran, Hadith, Sirat and original and pure books containing details of Islamic religion into other local languages including Sanskrit.  Even till today no reliable pure translation of Quran has been written in [[Hindi]] language.<ref name="AHWT"/> I have read some Hindi translations of the Quran in some libraries, which have not been translated with such precision. So these should be re-examined. It would be best to have it translated anew under the supervision of an alim well-known in the field of Aqeedah and Self-Purification.<ref name="AHWT"/><ref name="A"/>

Ahmadiyya scholar [[Abdul Haq Vidyarthi]] referred [[Muhammad]] as [[Kalki]] of Hinduism in many of his books. Also [[Muhammad Ibrahim Mir Sialkoti]] and [[Sanaullah Amritsari]] wrote book on the same topic.

===By Hindus===
The founder of [[Arya Samaj]], [[Dayanand Saraswati]] criticised [[Islam]] and [[Quran]] in his book [[Satyarth Prakash]] and raised 114 questions against the Quran. Another book by a member of [[Arya Samaj]] was also written in 19th century in criticism of [[Muhammad]] named [[Rangila Rasul]], which caused huge stir in Hindu-Muslim community of India, with casualties. Both books was later responsed by [[Sanaullah Amritsari]].

{{quote|It is not uncommon for a sailor to deviate from his course or to stray from his target on the night of a disaster, and it is normal for a sailor to return or attempt to return to his intended destination after the disaster has passed. But if, even after disaster, he continues to proudly claim that deviant path as the true path, and to proceed in that direction, he is no longer, in any case, a wise sailor. Needless to say, following the right path, he will arrive at a wrong address. This statement applies exclusively to the entire Muslim community in the Indian subcontinent today. Before the conquest of India by foreign Muslim invaders, all Muslims in this country were either Hindus or Buddhists, and since Buddhism was only a branch of Hinduism, all were Hindus. It is a fact of history that their forefathers became Muslims after being persecuted or seduced by Muslim rulers. In addition, this incident is not long ago. Especially in the case of Bengal it can never be more than 700 years. Because although the Muslim rule of Bengal began with the conquest of Naudiyah by [[Bakhtiyar Khilji]] in 1204 AD, in the words of Sri [[Ramesh Chandra Majumdar]], "Muslims could not conquer any region of East Bengal before the last decade of the 11th century. No region of South Bengal was conquered by the Muslims in the thirteenth century.” (History of Bangladesh, Middle Ages, p. 2). About 100 years later, the conversion process accelerated in today's Muslim-dominated East Bengal during the reign of [[Jalaluddin Muhammad Shah]], the converted son of [[Raja Ganesha|King Ganesh]]. But thousands of years before that, all today's Muslim converts were Hindus and were brought up in Hindu culture and traditions. So no doubt that is their main target. Today they are making no effort to deny the innate Hindu culture and imitate Arab culture by adopting Arabic or Persian names, eating beef and so on.  But the point is, is it possible to deny motherlike Hindu culture only through these external means? Hindu culture and Indian culture are identical. Therefore whoever will be born on this Indian soil is the one who will be born in this Indian soil without his knowledge, willingly or unwillingly while commenting on this, the poet [[Rabindranath]] says, "Nowadays some of us have started to think about this, a doubt has arisen in our minds about what we are." We are nothing else, we are Brahman. But it was a new identity.  The roots of that identity do not go far.  I do not have the basis of a mature identity than this?  Is there not a constant symptom flowing from the past in me at all?  ..Therefore, if there is any shame at all in saying that I am a Hindu, I will have to digest that shame in silence.”  (Essay: Self-Introduction).  He also says, “But can you remain a Hindu even if you join the Muslim or Christian community?  Of course I can.  There is not only an argument of transcendence in it.  .....It is true that [[Kali Charan Banerjee]] sir was a Hindu-Christian  Before him  sir [[Gaganendranath Tagore]] was a Hindu-Christian, before him [[Krishna Mohan Banerjee]] was a Hindu-Christian.  In other words, they were Hindus by race and Christians by religion.  Christian is their color, Hindu is their object.  There are thousands of Muslims in Bangladesh, the Hindus have called them Hindus or Hindus and they have also heard themselves as Hindus or Hindus.  But in spite of that they are really Hindu-Muslims” (up).  "..Muslim is a special religion, but Hinduism is not a special religion. A racial outcome of Indian history."  (up). [[Sri Aurobindo]] also said exactly the same thing. Hinduism is not just a religion like Islam or Christianity, Hinduism is the nationalism of India. So he says in his famous "Uttarpara speech, "I say that is the Sanatana Dharma which for us is nationalism. This Hindu nation was born with the Sanatana Dharma, with it it moves and with it it grows."- That is, Sanatan Dharma is our nationalism.  This Hindu nation was born with Sanatan Dharma, it is advancing and growing by adopting Sanatan Dharma.”|Islamic Theology: Now is the time to return home, (ইসলামী ধর্মতত্ত্বঃ এবার ঘরে ফেরার পালা), <ref name=ইধ/>}}
