There is NO GOD,Only ALLAH and Muhammad is the MESSANGER of ALLAH
Following will help us in understanding of the Hindu philosophy:
The Hindu concept every thing is God comes from Hindu scriptures which teach that there are many Gods, incarnations of Gods, persons of God and that everything is God. In spite of the belief that the self (atman) of all living beings is actually God (Brahman), an oppressive caste system evolved in which the Brahamans, the priestly caste, possess spiritual supremacy by birth. They are the teachers of Vedas and represent the ideal of ritual purity and social prestige. On the other hand, the Sudra caste are excluded from religious status and their sole duty is “to serve meekly” the other three castes and their thousands of subcastes.
According to Hindu monist philosophers, humankind’s purpose is the realization of their divinity and follow a path (marga) to emancipation (moksha) from the wheel of rebirth and reabsorbtion of human soul (atman) into the ultimate reality, Brahman. For those following the bhakti path, the purpose is to love God because God created humankind to “enjoy a relationship as a father enjoys his children” (Srimad Bhagwatam). For the ordinary Hindu, the main aim of worldly life lies in conforming to social and ritual duties, to the traditional rules of conduct for one’s caste the Karma path.
In the Upanishads (secret teachings concerning cosmic equations), Prajapati merges with the concept of Brahnam, the supreme reality and substance of the universe, replacing any specific personification, thus transforming the methology into abstract philosophy. If the contents of these scriptures were all that human beings had to choose from for guidance, one would have to conclude that God hid both himself and the purpose of creation from humankind.
The conclusion is one can only understand the purpose of creation when he has a firm belief that:
There is NO GOD, only ALLAH and Muhammad is the MESSANGER of ALLAH.
I invite all Hindus (fellow human beings) to declare their faith in Allah and the Messenger of Allah and find the true purpose of creation.

One can be million and million can be the SAME one.
Why is it that all religions preach ONE thing that is central and important - Peace, Love and humanity... And still we spread war, hatered and kill others in the name of religion. Doesnt that mean that no Muslim is a true muslim, no hindu is a true hindu, no christian is a true christian? Time to think, huh?**

Islam is not only a set of rules to whorship Allah the only one God who deserve to be worshiped, Islam is a way of life that brought justice and fairness. That brought peace, love that are based on conditions that Allah put onto us.
Allah is God, some may say that they are worshiping God, but to be true believers, one must believe in God as being the supreme, the one who is not in need of anything the one who created everything and is not created. The one who does not resemble any of the creations and needs non. THis is the true belief which complies with the intelect.
<<>> Learning the Obligatory Knowledge of the Religion puts the Muslim on the road for excellence and self-betterment. Acquire Islamic Knowledge!!

That is interesting. Non muslims harp on Islam's distinction between Muslims and non muslims while no Hindus harp on Hindus distinction within themselves. The only difference is that Hindus are trying to get rid of it and are apologetic about it while muslims are gung-ho about jizia or jehad.
A better spirit can only be evoked only if we understand that ll religions though useful at some point in human history are redundant and useless today. None has to believe the crap of some god sitting at top of mountain or adam eating apple and coming to earth and other junk.

For centuries ppl like u have been denying the existence of god and if do happen to believe in god then most likely it were the sculptures with elephants trunk or other shapes to it!
read this verse and get something out of it!!
“Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception.” 185 surah (Aal-E-Imran).

I ask Allah to make us among those who enter Pardaise.
Brother, if you have people that don't have a sound mind, how will you be able to make them understand?!
This world is among the biggest sign on the existence of the creator.
Can there be a book without a writer? Can their be a building without a builder?! Just thing of how the plants that use the same water, have fruits of different taste!
ALLAH EXISTS, HE HAS NO BEGINING, HE DOES NOT RESEMBLE THE CREATIONS, HE EXISTS WITHOUT A PLACE OR NEED FOR A PLACE OR ANY OF HIS CREATIONS.
We call those who deny the existence of Allah to look into Islam and become Muslims.

my dear, i welcome you to Muslim Community,, may you understand life better and prosper in every field.

The Arabic language is VERY rich and must be interpreted according to what befits the logic and the Islamic belief.
As for hadith: "Aynallah?" she said: "Fis-Sama`" That doesn't mean in the skies! Tha't the ^aqidah or belief of the Jews! When you say Ta^ala, it doesn't mean he went up high, it means he has a high rank, and so was the meaning of that Hadith, the lady said what means: "Qadruhu (status or rank) is high" that is according to the interpretations of the Muslim scholors of Islam such as As-Shafi^Y and Abu Hanifah.
It's an Ijma^ that Allah does not reside in a place and it's logical as well. For, before the places, Allah existed without a place, and after creating the place he is as he was without a place because he does not need anything. Imam ^Aliyy (Radiallahu ^anhu) said: "Kanallahu Wala makan, Wahuwa-l`ana ^ala ma ^alayhi kan" that is without a place.
This is the ^aqidah of the Muslims the salaf and the Khalaf. I will post the sayings of the famous scholors insha`llah when I get time.
Leaving the answer to one side for a moment, what do you understand from this questions itself - what was the Prophet (saw) asking about when he said: “Where is Allah?” How are we to interpret this question?
Well you should have asked how do scholars of Hadith interpert this hadith.
Imam al-Bayhaqiy who was among the greatest of the Mujtahids of the Khalaf scholars said: "This hadith is Mud-Tarib (week), and if it was confirmed it would have meant that the Prophet is asking her what her belief in Allah is? and she said "Fis-Sama'' which indicates that her belief is that Allah is greatly high in status, then the Prophet said to her owner set her free, she's a believer".
al-Bayhaqiy also added ".. because in Islam for one to be judged as a Muslim or not, he must believe in the shahadatayn.."
al-Bayhaqiy said that because there's another narration by Imam Malik that the prophet asked her " what is your belief in Allah? the slave women answered I bear witness that no one is God but Allah, Muhammad is his messenger, the Prophet then said to her owner set her free, she's Muslimah".
This hadith has 5 narrations, and the narration of Malik is the strongest.
Not only Imam al-Bayhaqiy explained this hadith, many other scholars have showed the meaning of the sayings of the Prophet by explaining one narration by another narration.
In summary, the point is Arabic is Rich. Al-Bayhaqiy said if that hadith was authentic (sahih) it would have meant “what is your belief in God” she indicated “God is of a great rank”.
Any details further, we can open a separate forum on this topic.
