Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
Comparing oranges with apples
Spurious assessment. have you ever chcked it yourself? Have you ever tried to think over things carefully. Looks like you have just imitated blindly whatever has been put in your head.
Wrong again bud. If you agree to one God, that He exists, then you have to agree to ONE TREU RELIGION TOO… there is no escape to it or otherwise, deny the fact altogether that the God exists. Take one stance…
Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
Something from the comparative point of view as an answer to your comment.
“His (Purusa’s) mouth became the Brahmin; his arms were made into the Ksatriya, his thighs the Vaisya, and from his feet the Sudra was born.”
Rig Veda 10:90:12
“People here whose behaviour is pleasant can expect to enter a pleasant womb, like that of a woman of the Brahmin, the Ksatriya, or the Vaisya caste. But people of foul behaviour can expect to enter the foul womb, like that of a dog, a pig, or an outcaste woman.”
Chandogya Upanisad 5:10:7
“By his very birth a Brahmin is a deity even for the gods and the only authority for people in this world, for the Veda is the foundation in this matter.”
Manusmrti 11:85.
Al-Quran
O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa (i.e. one of the Muttaqoon (pious). Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.

Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
tell me, what is important GOD or religion …
what he told to everyone, everywhere to be pure, to be honest etc.etc…
All the problem starts when we start emphasising on the importance of religion over god, thats the way we try to justify our egos and supremecy even when we say he is the boss …
I dont think praying in masjid or church or mandir or any where is different bcos everyone is there with the same aim (Ideally).
Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
Now you are making nonsense arguments (Rather secular arguments).
**If I ask you, what is more important, BODY or SOUL??? Whats your answer??? Your question of asking what is more important God or Religion is just loke proving the existance of a body without a soul PURE MATERIALISM… **
**No, the problem starts when we try to view God without any Will, Power or Authority. The peoblem starts when we view God as a concept but do not accept that the one who created knows what is best. **
Let me put it another way. When a scientist makes a new invention, he gives a “catalogue (A users guide)” with it. Without which, nobody can understand the invention or a machine. Why you think that God is such a powerless and paralyzed being of being able to create, sustain and destroy the whole universe and not being able to suggest a “Catalogue” to His creation.
How many ears you have? How many nose you have? How many legs and arms you have? You believe you have two ears, one nose, two legs and two arms. What if I start describing you having eight ears, a long nose like an elephant, 20 legs and 6 arms, make a statue of you with these features? Is that acceptable to you?
If not then why God worshipped in a Mosque like an unseen power, in a church as trinity with a begotten son, and in a mandir as individual attributes and physical forms be regarded as same?
Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
i dunno about the others but THIS one definitely isnt valid.
karwa chod…for** hubby’s** long life, fasting till the moon isnt visible
the reasons for fasting in ramzaan are for God and to build patience and stay away from bad deeds…and the fast ends on sunset…
Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
um, no.
all the world’s major religions have similarities, share certain beliefs, advocate righteousness, etc.
but the Indic faiths and the Abrahamic faiths are polar opposites
Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
Your example is perfect. I agree to it. But, have you ever seen a scientist saying that there will not be and cannot be any improvement to his inventions. And there will be no scientist working on this ‘invention’ after him ? And if you dont buy my invention, you will be killed !!!
Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
Aqalmand insaan
The scientist does give some “basic set of instructions” that no matter what, cannot be modified or changed. Anything over and above that can be modified.
Let me give you another example. When a house is built, the bases are made and the building built on them can be modified to suite the need. Right? But the bases remain the same…
Another example. A car can be driven wherever needed but the oil needs to be changed every 3000 miles with a specific grade. The care needs gas to run and work. These are the facts that cannot be changed no matter what. You cannot add a lower grade engine oil, other than recommended or you cannot keep the same oil for 6000 miles or you cannot use water in place of the gas… Right?
Can you survive eating stones? I guess not because the way God made you, you have to eat what you can eat… Basic reality remains the same. Yes, you do have the option of modifying the eatables. You eat pork, you eat shi t, you drink cow urine, you eat nice foods, you eat haraam, you eat halaah, you eat vegetarian etc etc, it is your own choice and you’d be blessed or punished in the end depending on that…

Can u pls elaborate ?
Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam

So, what are your suugeestions for modifications in islamic instructions
Let me give you another example. When a house is built, the bases are made and the building built on them can be modified to suite the need. Right? But the bases remain the same......
The average life of an house is abt 50 years. Then, they are demolished and reconstructed.
Another example. A car can be driven wherever needed but the oil needs to be changed every 3000 miles with a specific grade. The care needs gas to run and work. These are the facts that cannot be changed no matter what. You cannot add a lower grade engine oil, other than recommended or you cannot keep the same oil for 6000 miles or you cannot use water in place of the gas...... Right?
Car models change every year.
Can you survive eating stones? I guess not because the way God made you, you have to eat what you can eat.......... Basic reality remains the same. Yes, you do have the option of modifying the eatables. You eat pork, you eat shi t, you drink cow urine, you eat nice foods, you eat haraam, you eat halaah, you eat vegetarian etc etc, it is your own choice and you'd be blessed or punished in the end depending on that..............
I eat chicken with a fear of bird flu, i eat beef with the fear of MAD but I cant eat porkwith no threat. Was there a warning about this in the 'instructions' ?
Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
I am impressed a muslim has studied Hinduism more than many Hindus.:k:
Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
Yes Lahore 981, you did well. These could be counted as similarities between these two religions. And everyone can see that these similarities are leading towards Islam. Yes Islam is the purest and most beautiful and practical religion. Yes it is a PRACTICAL religion. Very simple and affective.
Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
how can you call practical?
It is a genuine challenge. How does Islam deal with the rapid advances in science and technology, institutions of the post-modern world or social, economic and political trends? If Islam were unable to handle the complexities of contemporary life, it may indeed produce an outdated medieval system, causing its adherents to deny the fruits of current modernity.

Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
Rivkz, Islam is not only the religion of prayers and worshiping. It is a practical religion which has laws about every aspect of life. Now a days science is confirming the claims of Quran which Allah sent 1400 years ago.
Example: Sab-e-samawat. Means seven skies.
Scientists has discovered these seven skies recently. They said the earth is covered by 7 layers. Ozone is one of them. This answer needs it’s own description and will go long. I am making it brief.
We use the 3rd layer for all the signals of phone or internet. We send signals toward that layer and it reflect it to the receiver. We donot need any external thing for this. About satellites, they are launched in 5th layer. Not a single satellite is out of seven layers.
About Iron:
*We sent aforetime our messengers with Clear Signs and sent down with them the Book and the Balance (of Right and Wrong), that men may stand forth in justice; and We sent down Iron, in which is (material for) mighty war, as well as many benefits for mankind, that Allah may test who it is that will help, Unseen, Him and His messengers: For Allah is Full of Strength, Exalted in Might (and able to enforce His Will).
*Now science has proved that Iron is not made on earth. This matel are the pieces of stars. Because it needs something else to be modified which if our earth generates, we will not be able to live on.
Social laws: http://www.drzakirnaik.com/pages/quranonline/surahs/display.php?surah_number=65&surah_name=AT-TALAQ
About divorce. We have proper laws about marriage, about the rights of parents, siblings, decendents, relatives and people we meet. We have proper laws about Charity, about the property which is left by a person when he/she dies.
People say that other religion also have such laws. But didnot I say Islam is a PRACTICAL religion. Its laws are easy to follow and best to be practiced and are practiced.
Yes we have political laws also. To govern any nation is not easy. Islam has each and every law about most of issues regarding politics and country needs.
Islam is the most Modern religion. Modernity doesnot mean Nudity…if you see the meanings in dictionary, both words has their own meanings.
Any question resting in your mind, you may ask.

Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
What do u mean no? You just repeated what I just said after saying ‘no’.
Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
The are certain similarities in all religion but that doesn’t mean that Islam’s teachings are influenced by Hindu practices. There are far more differences between these two religions as compare to some “so called similarities” mentioned in first post.
Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
I think we agree on only one thing, SABKA MALIK EK HAI and thats where harmony in our views ends… I dont think i agree with your views of promotion neither you agree with my views …
since i am not god, i can only have views , I still dont know the truth and I dont belive what others say untill i realize it …
Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
religen also product of enviroment peope of sweden and saudis wont come with same ideas regarding relgien dress and food.
Re: Similarity in Hinduism & Islaam
I am sorry but i can t believe some of the comments given here especially by Muslim participants..................to compare Islam with anyother religion you have to start with the Concept of Tawheed and Shirk........................and thas where similarities between Islam and Hinduism end. I have nothing against Hinduism but if Islam is to be compared then compare it with Judism and Christianity. Because , and also its one of the most important believes for Muslims that islam is nothing new..... its a Purified from of these two religions all Muslims believe in the truthness and status of these religions........... and when i say that i mean in their original shape not in the modified shape that is widely practised today.
