I've read the Wikipedia on Islamic view on Buddha:
"Some Muslim believe that Siddharta Gautama is the same person who is referred in the Holy Koran as Dhu'l-Kifl (Zulkifli), and that he was therefore a Prophet of Islam. The meaning of Dhu'l-Kifl is unclear, but according to this view, it means "the man from Kifl", where "Kifl" is the Arabic pronounciation of Kapilavatsu, where Buddha spent 30 years of his life.
Other views however hold that Dhu'l-Kifl was a different person and not a prophet at all, or that he was the prophet called Ezekiel in the Bible."
the buddha and then the kalki iterpretation follow on from one another, are here you have to keep pressing next to read the whole of his story it eventually ends up with mir mahdi who kills the kalki and then mir mahdi is killed aswell it quite long though. I think in islam mir mahdi is referred to as imam mahdi as you may read his coming is far off from now.

ਰੱਚਿ ਅਸ ਮਹਿਦੀ ਮੀਰ ॥ ਰਿਸਵੰਤ ਹਾਠ ਹਮੀਰ ॥ ਤਿਹ ਤਉਨ ਕੋ ਬਧੁ ਕੀਨ ॥ ਪੁਨ ਆਪ ਮੋ ਕਿਯ ਲੀਨ ॥੫੮੭॥
रचि अस महिदी मीर ॥ रिसवंत हाठ हमीर ॥ तिह तउन को बधु कीन ॥ पुन आप मो किय लीन ॥५८७॥
Mehdi Mir was created, who was very angry and persistent one; he killed the Kalki incarnation within himself again.587.
ਜਗ ਜੀਤ ਆਪਨ ਕੀਨ ॥ ਸਭ ਅੰਤ ਕਾਲ ਅਧੀਨ ॥ ਇਹ ਭਾਂਤ ਪੂਰ ਸੁਧਾਰ ॥ ਭਏ ਚੌਬਿਸੇ ਅਵਤਾਰ ॥੫੮੮॥
जग जीत आपन कीन ॥ सभ अंत काल अधीन ॥ इह भांत पूर सुधार ॥ भए चौबिसे अवतार ॥५८८॥
Those who conquered, the made it there possession they are all under the control of KAL (death) in the end; in this way, with complete improvement the description of twenty-fourth incarnation is completed.588.
ਇਤਿ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਬਚਿਤ੍ਰ ਨਾਟਕ ਗ੍ਰੰਥੇ ਚਤੁਰ ਬੀਸਵਾਂ ਅਵਤਾਰ ਬਰਨਨੰ ਸਮਾਪਤਮ ॥੨੪॥
इति स्री बचित्र नाटक ग्रंथे चतुर बीसवां अवतार बरननं समापतम ॥२४॥

(Now being the description of the killing of Mehdi Mir)
ਤੋਮਰ ਛੰਦ ॥
तोमर छंद ॥
TOMAR STANZA
ਇਹ ਭਾਂਤ ਕੈ ਤਿਹ ਨਾਸ ॥ ਕੀਅ ਸੱਤਜੁਗ ਪਰਗਾਸ ॥ ਕਲਜੁੱਗ ਸਰਬ ਬਿਹਾਨ ॥ ਨਿਜ ਜੋਤ ਸਮਾਨ ॥੧॥
इह भांत कै तिह नास ॥ कीअ सतजुग परगास ॥ कलजुग सरब बिहान ॥ निज जोत समान ॥१॥
In the way, destroying him, the age of the truth was manifested; the whole of Iron Age had passed away and the light manifested itself everywhere consistently .1
ਮਹਿਦੀ ਭਰਯੋ ਤਬ ਗਰਬ ॥ ਜਗ ਜੀਤਯੋ ਜਬ ਸਰਬ ॥ ਸਿਰ ਅੱਤ੍ਰ ਪੱਤ੍ਰ ਫਿਰਾਇ ॥ ਜਗ ਜੇਰ ਕੀਨ ਬਨਾਇ ॥੨॥
महिदी भरयो तब गरब ॥ जग जीतयो जब सरब ॥ सिर अत्र पत्र फिराइ ॥ जग जेर कीन बनाइ ॥२॥
Then Mir Mehdi, conquering the whole world, was filled with pride; he also got the canopy swung over his head and caused the whole world to bow at his feet.2.
ਬਿਨ ਆਪ ਜਾਨ ਨ ਔਰ ॥ ਸਭ ਰੂਪ ਅਉ ਸਭ ਠਉਰ ॥ ਜਿਨ ਏਕ ਦਿਸ਼ਟ ਨ ਆਨ ॥ ਤਿਸ ਲੀਨ ਕਾਲ ਨਿਦਾਨ ॥੩॥
बिन आप जान न और ॥ सभ रूप अउ सभ ठउर ॥ जिन एक दिशट न आन ॥ तिस लीन काल निदान ॥३॥
Expect himself, he did not have faith in anyone; he who did not comprehend One Lord-God, he ultimately could not save himself from KAL(death).3.
ਬਿਨ ਏਕ ਦੂਸਰ ਨਾਹਿ ॥ ਸਭ ਰੰਗ ਰੂਪਨ ਮਾਹਿ ॥ ਜਿਨ ਏਕ ਕੋ ਨ ਪਛਾਨ ॥ ਤਿਹ ਬ੍ਰਿਥਾ ਜਨਮ ਬਿਤਾਰ ॥੪॥
बिन एक दूसर नाहि ॥ सभ रंग रूपन माहि ॥ जिन एक को न पछान ॥ तिह ब्रिथा जनम बितार ॥४॥
There is not one other in all colours and forms except one God; he, who has not recognized that one Lord, he wasted his birth.4.
ਬਿਨ ਏਕ ਦੂਸਰ ਨ ਔਰ ॥ ਜਲ ਬਾ ਥਲੇ ਸਭ ਠਉਰ ॥ ਜਿਨ ਏਕ ਸੱਤਿ ਨ ਜਾਨ ॥ ਸੋ ਜੂਨ ਜੂਨ ਭ੍ਰਮਾਨ ॥੫॥
बिन एक दूसर न और ॥ जल बा थले सभ ठउर ॥ जिन एक सति न जान ॥ सो जून जून भ्रमान ॥५॥
Expect that one Lord, there is none other in water, on plain and all the places; he who had not recognized the One Reality, he only roamed away amongst the Yogis.5.
ਤਜ ਏਕ ਜਾਨਾ ਦੂਜ ॥ ਮਮ ਜਾਨ ਤਾਸ ਨ ਸੂਝ ॥ ਤਿਹ ਦੂਖ ਭੂਖ ਪਿਆਸ ॥ਦਿਨ ਰੈਨ ਸਰਬ ਉਦਾਸ ॥੬॥
तज एक जाना दूज ॥ मम जान तास न सूझ ॥ तिह दूख भूख पिआस ॥दिन रैन सरब उदास ॥६॥
He who leaving the one, believed in another one, in my view, he is devoid of wisdom; he will be surrounded by suffering, hunger, thirst and anxiety throughout day and night.6.
ਨਹਿ ਚੈਨ ਐਨ ਸੁ ਵਾਹਿ ॥ ਨਿਤ ਰੋਗ ਹੋਵਤ ਤਾਹਿ ॥ ਨਿਤ ਦੂਖ ਭੂਖ ਮਰੰਤ ॥ ਨਹਿ ਚੈਨ ਦਿਉਸ ਬਿਤੰਤ ॥੭॥
नहि चैन ऐन सु वाहि ॥ नित रोग होवत ताहि ॥ नित दूख भूख मरंत ॥ नहि चैन दिउस बितंत ॥७॥
he will never get peace and will always be surrounded by ailments; he will always suffer death on account of suffering and hunger; he will always remain restless.7.
ਤਨ ਪਾਦ ਕੁਸ਼ਟ ਚਲੰਤ ॥ ਬਪੁ ਗਲਤ ਨਿੱਤ ਗਲੰਤ ॥ ਨਹਿ ਨਿੱਤ ਦੇਹ ਅਰੋਗ ॥ ਨਿਤ ਪੁਤ੍ਰ ਪੌਤ੍ਰਨ ਸੋਗ ॥੮॥
तन पाद कुशट चलंत ॥ बपु गलत नित गलंत ॥ नहि नित देह अरोग ॥ नित पुत्र पौत्रन सोग ॥८॥
The leprosy will prevail in his body and all his body will rot; his body will not remain health and his foundness for sons and grandson will always afflict him.8.
ਨਿਤ ਨਾਸ ਤਿਹ ਪਰਵਾਰ ॥ ਨਹਿ ਅੰਤ ਦੇਹ ਉਧਾਰ ॥ ਨਿਤ ਰੋਗ ਸੋਗ ਗ੍ਰਸੰਤ ॥ ਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਸ੍ਵਾਨ ਅੰਤ ਮਰੰਤ ॥੯॥
नित नास तिह परवार ॥ नहि अंत देह उधार ॥ नित रोग सोग ग्रसंत ॥ म्रित स्वान अंत मरंत ॥९॥
His family will be destroyed and at the and, his body will not be redeemed also; he will always be engrossed in disease and sorrow; ultimately, he will die the death of a dog .9.
ਤਬ ਜਾਨ ਕਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਬੀਨ ॥ ਤਿਹ ਮਾਰਿਓ ਕਰਿ ਦੀਨ ॥ ਇਕ ਕੀਟ ਦੀਨ ਉਪਾਇ ॥ ਤਿਸ ਕਾਨ ਪੈਠੋ ਜਾਇ ॥੧੦॥
तब जान काल प्रबीन ॥ तिह मारिओ करि दीन ॥ इक कीट दीन उपाइ ॥ तिस कान पैठो जाइ ॥१०॥
Reflecting over the egoistic state of Mir Mehdi the Unmanifested Brahman thought of killing him; he created an insect, which entered the ear of Mir Mehdi.10.
ਧਸਿ ਕੀਟ ਕਾਨਨ ਬੀਚ ॥ ਤਿਸ ਜੀਤਯੋ ਜਿਮ ਨੀਚ ॥ ਬਹੁ ਭਾਂਤ ਦੇ ਦੁਖ ਤਾਹਿ ॥ ਇਹ ਭਾਂਤਿ ਮਾਰਿਓ ਵਾਹਿ ॥੧੧॥
धसि कीट कानन बीच ॥ तिस जीतयो जिम नीच ॥ बहु भांत दे दुख ताहि ॥ इह भांति मारिओ वाहि ॥११॥
Entering his ear, that insect conquered that base fellow, and giving him various types of suffering, killed him in this way.11.
ਇਤਿ ਮਹਿਦੀ ਮੀਰ ਬਧਹ ॥
इति महिदी मीर बधह ॥
End of killing of Mehdi Mir.
there is a good book and you can download it for free from harun yahya's website.
It's regarding buddhism and islam...
i've downloaded it... but not yet start reading it...hehehe...(trying to make a collection books that never been read...)
How do you know its a good book if you haven't read it?
Just to save some the trouble, the book is far from "good", I'm afraid - a good book on such a subject should at least attempt to examine it in an objective and scholarly fashion.
I haven't even finished the first page of the introduction yet, and so far Buddhism, or aspects of it, have been described as "deviant", "mindless" and "perverse".

Buddhists don't (generally) believe Gotama to be an avatar of Vishnu, although it is not an idea that would bother them too much. Hinduism is very closely related to Buddhism and adherents of both tend to regard them as different ways of looking at the same thing. Both have the same basic objective of escape from the Wheel of rebirth... the difference is on how to do it, and what might be around to help. That's why I think it more likely.. the Buddha is likely to have taught something similar to what an avatar of Vishnu was likely to teach, but his teachings do not seem related to those of Jesus or Mohammed much beyond a requirement for compassion for others that all three faiths share.

I know what you mean Trumble I have read literature from "muslim scholars" and there a far cry from being good, I suppose it depends on what good means to a muslim in terms of comparative religion, most of them tend to be an excercise in mental appeasement.

I agree, although in fairness there are plenty of genuine muslim academics who are capable of taking an objective view. Just not anywhere near that site, it seems.
That "book" is just propaganda, though, not an attempt at scholarship. You will see equivalents on Christian sites about Islam, Muslim sites about Christianity, and so on. It doesn't really do any harm.. only those who minds are already made up would get beyond the first page, anyway.
Dr Zakir Naik who does comparative religion studies says its possible that he ''could be'' one among Allah's Prophets but we can't confirm any one except from the Glorious Quran.
I do think so since even Jesus could never be recognized as a Prophet of Allah for the Muslims IF ALLAH had not told us about him in the Glorious Quran , since 80 % of the history about him and even his Mother has been adulterated. So how about someone who came about 500 years before Jesus in a land where idol worship was most rampant , in India ??
The things i remember about Gautama Bhuddha as a kid ( about 4 decades ago) is, that he got enlightenment after meditation under atree for along time thinking about sorrows of life after seeing a dead body which is some what similar to our Prophet who went to Hira into meditation searching for his Creator.
Bhuddha taught not to worship idols he detested that , but this could not be welcomed or accepted by the Indian Hindu majority there, so they TOTALLY exported him (99%) OVERSEAS to Sri Lanka and from there to SE ASIA untill JAPAN where those people ''removed that clause from his teachings and made him as an Idol itself to which he said No '' . This clause is now missing in latest history books of India itself when I checked a history book of 8th or 9th grade before a few years showing how Shaitan works. That's How shaitan works like even Muslims had built buildings over grave yards when Prophet strongly detested that but they built over the last greatest Prophet's grave itself.
.'' NO WONDER BHUDDHISM IS THE ONLY RELIGION IN THE WORLD WHICH NEVER GOT ESTABLISHED AT ITS OWN PLACE OF IT BIRTH (IN INDIA) SINCE IT HAD DETESTED IDOL WORSHIP AT ITS ROOTS ,WHICH COULD NEVER BE ACCEPTED IN A PLACE WHERE ITS PEOPLE NEVER RESPECTED ITS OWN VEDHAS WHICH ALSO PREACHED AGAINST IDOL WORSHIP.''
Bhudha also said not to drink wine liquor, not to covet for other man's women etc etc (other teaching I forgot) so it could all be possible he was one of the messengers of Allah from the 120,000 + messengers of Allah that hadith said and as in the Glorious Quran to every nation in their own language.
This is only a guess from us and NOT TO BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED we cant confirm anyone unless untill its confirmed by the kalamullah, he could be one as some of his traits point too and NOT he is one.
Allah knows the best.
Note : Some post above are giving wrong info about Kalki . Who is Kalki ? that was prophesied in Vedhas ??, kindly refer to post #2 in the below thread, where the top hindu pundit gave a profound research about it
Just a Muslim with Glorious Quran and (hadith) sunnah as my guide as in verse 41:33 '' And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, "Indeed, I am of the Muslims."
