HINDUISM

Hinduism is a categorisation of distinct intellectual or philosophical points of view, rather than a rigid, common set of beliefs.
 
Hinduism has been called the “oldest religion” in the world,and some practitioners refer to it as Sanātana Dharma, “the eternal law” or the “eternal way” beyond human origins. It prescribes the “eternal” duties all Hindus have to follow, regardless of class, caste, or sect, such as honesty, purity, and self-restraint.

​Pantheism
 
Common Hindus  believe in the philosophy of Pantheism.
Pantheism considers everything, living and non-living, to be
Divine and Sacred.
 
The common Hindu, therefore, considers
everything as God. He considers the trees as God,
the sun as God, the moon as God, the monkey as
God, the snake as God and even human beings as
manifestations of God.
 
Question: When a human or an animal dies does
this mean that a part of God has died?
 
The Caste System
 
Hindus believe in a caste system with the priestly class (Brahmin)
being the highest and the untouchable (Avarna) being the lowest.
 A person’s role is defined by which cast they are born into and
different rules apply to different casts.
 
“If a man of inferior caste tries to sit down on the same seat as a man of
superior caste, he should be branded on the hip and banished, or have
his buttocks cut off.”  Manusmriti 8:281.
 
Human Manifestation of God
 
Hindus believe that God was manifested as a human being such as
Rama and Krishna. The reasons given are:
 
a )  To understand the difficulties and problems faced by man
b ) To teach men by example
c ) To destroy evil

​Monotheism
 
The Creator and creation is completely separate and God is not
part of the creation. The Concept of God in Islam is very
simple and easy to grasp.
 
1.God is One, unique and distinct from His creation.
2.He is  not dependent  on anything. The creation is dependent upon Him.
3.He was not born and he does not die, nor does he bore any offspring.
4.Nothing resembles God and nothing can be compared to Him.
 
No Caste System
 
In Islam all people of all ethnicities and backgrounds are equal. The Prophet
Muhammad said “All mankind is from Adam and Eve.  An Arab has no
superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over
an Arab; a white has no superiority over a black, nor does a black have any
superiority over a white; except by piety and good action.
Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the
Muslims constitute one brotherhood.”
 
The Muslim Belief
 
Muslims believe that Allah is separate and distinct to creation and is
All-Knowing and All-Powerful:
 
a )  Allah says: “Should He not know, He that created? And He is the One that
understands the finest mysteries (and) is well-acquainted (with them).” [Qur’an (67:14)]
 
b )  It would be impossible for a human to follow the example of a God. Allah sends
us human beings as Prophets and Messenger to set the example for us to follow:
“Verily We have sent you (oh Muhammad) in truth, as a bearer of glad tidings,
and as a  warner: and there never was a people, without a warner having lived
among them (in the past).” [Qur’an (35:24)]
 
c )  God does not need to take human form to destroy evil. Allah says “It is He
Who gives Life and Death; and when He decrees an affair, He says to it,
“Be”, and it is.” [Qur’an (40:68)]
