Re: Happy Diwali
Hareem, why don't you understand that in Hinduism it is said that the one true God expresses himself in many forms?
in many forms? Like elephant, monkey, dog etc?
*NO RELIGION, NO CULTURE, NO NATION HAS MONOPOLY ON GOD.To say that, is exactly like saying, "Sun rises only at New York and sets at Honolulu beaches." The Sun that shines on the New York Mansions and Honolulu beaches is the same Sun that shines the dark Ghettos of Calcutta, dry deserts of Saudi Arabia, killing fields of Rwanada. Similarly the God in the Koran or Bible is the same God that one sees in the pages of Hindu Bhagavad Gita. ONE GOD MANY NAMES.... *
One God many names...I agree but with One God many forms(in animals and humans, idols etc) I disagree.
*God also wrote in the Bhagavad Gita: *
*CALL ME BY WHAT EVER NAME YOU LIKE; * *WORSHIP ME IN ANY FORM YOU LIKE; * *ALL THAT GOES TO ONE AND ONLY SUPREME REALITY *
In Holy Qur'an Chapter 7, verse180.* God says,*
The most beautiful names belong to Allah. so call on him by them; but shun such men as use profanity in his names: for what they do, they will soon be requited.
Also in
Chapter112
1. Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; 4.** And there is none like unto Him. **
*So You can worship Almighty, which is formless and timeless, as Krishna, Jesus, ALLAH, Moses, ANY-ONE or ANYTHING. As long as you have faith in that form of the Almighty, you will befollowing a true religion and you will ultimately realize THE TRUTH, even if you are following a crude form of worship. *
So how come Krishna, Moses(AS) and Jesus(AS) are timeless and formless, please explain?
sis Hareem do you agree with the quote? :)
Sis indopak, I agree with whats written in the Qur'an because it is more clear.
