Musulmán/Mosalmán (Template:Lang-fa) is a synonym for Muslim. This term is modified from Arabic and was also mentioned in the vedas. It is the origin of the Spanish word musulmán, the Portuguese word muçulmano, and the Greek word μουσουλμάνος (all used for a Muslim). In English it has become archaic in usage.
“The Malechha have spoiled the well-known land of the Arabs. Arya Dharma is not to be found in the country. Before also there appeared a misguided fiend whom I had killed; he has now again appeared being sent by a powerful enemy. To show these enemies the right path and to give them guidance the well-known Mohamad (Mohammad) who has been given by me, the epithet of Brahma, is busy in bringing the ‘Pishachas’ to the right path. O Raja, you need not go to the land of the foolish Pishachas, you will be purified through my kindness even where you are. At night, he of the angelic disposition, the shrewd man, in the guise of a pischacha said to Raja Bhoj, O Raja! Your Arya Dharma has been made to prevail over all religions, but according to the commandments of Ishwar Parmatama, I shall enforce the strong creed of the meat eaters. My followers will be men circumcised, without a tail (on his head), keeping beard, creating a revolution announcing Adhan (call for prayer) and will be eating all lawful things. He will eat all sorts of animals except swine. They will not seek purification from the holy shrubs, but will be purified through warfare. On account of their fighting the irreligious nations, they will be known as Musalmaans. I shall be the originator of this religion of the meat-eating nation.”
In addition to Spanish, Portuguese, Parsian, Arabic, and the Persian dialect of Dari, it is also found in Armenian Pashto, Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Panjabi, Turkish, Kazakh, Uzbek, Kyrgyz, Azeri, Maltese, Hungarian, Czech, Polish, German, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Russian, Serbian, Ukrainian, Greek, Romanian, French, Italian, Dutch, and Sanskrit.
