The answer

There is no doubt about the mention of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, in the Torah and the Gospel, as the Quran indicates this. As for Hinduism, there is nothing to suggest that it is a divine religion; rather, it is commonly known as a pagan religion invented by humans, and it has been corrupted if it was indeed a revelation. It is unknown whether the Hindu scriptures mention our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, nor is it known who among the prophets were sent to the land of India. Some history books mention the descent of Adam, Abraham, and Solomon, peace be upon them, in India, but it is certain that Allah sent a warner to every nation.
