The French Researcher Abbe Dubois ( a familiar person to Max Muller)) in his Hindu Religion, Customs and Practices seem to say that some important features of Hinduism of the North were from Middle East but not so categorically (itemised manner) as above. He says that the word Brahma is from Abraham (Arabic: Ibrahim) (In Abraham, remove prefix A- and compare the rest of the word ). Further says Manu is corruption of the word Noah. Accounts of the Great Deluge are compared. The Jews may have got Brahman from Egypt as Gilbert Slater traces Brahma's origin to that country. Brahman existed in pre - Vedic Age.

However Siva is from South India and in the beginning of the Vedic Age, he was not accepted as a god. A subsequent compromise landed him as the last in the pantheon or trinity. Dubois says the Hindu Trinity developed after the doctrine of Blessed Trinity in Catholicism. and was a subsequent event in Hinduism.

But the mode of worship in Pre-Islamic Arabia was somewhat identical to that of India according to most historians I have read.
