Hinduism
is the 3rd
largest
followed religion in the world today,
having about 1,200,000,000
followers.
Out of 8,000,000,000
people that we have today in the world,
about 1,200,000,000,
about 15%,
they are Hindus.
Hinduism
is a non semitic
aryan religion of vedic origin.
If you ask a common Hindu
that how many gods does he believe in?
Some will say 3,
some will say 100, some will say 1,000,
while some will say 33 crores,
330,000,000.
But if you ask a learned Hindu who's
well versed with the Hindu scriptures,
he will tell you that Hindu should believe
and worship only 1 God.
But the common Hindu,
he believes in a philosophy known as pantheism.
The common Hindu says, everything is God. The
snake is God.
The tree is God. The moon is God.
The sun is God.
The monkey is God. The human being is
God.
So the Hindu
says, everything is God.
What we Muslim say,
if everything is God's
God with an apostrophe,
everything belongs to God.
The tree belongs to God. The sun belongs
to God. The moon belongs to God. The
snake belongs to God. The monkey belongs to
God, the moon belongs to God. So the
major difference between the common Hindu
and the Muslim is, the common Hindu says,
everything is God and we Muslims
say, everything is God's.
God with apostrophe s. The major difference is
apostrophe s. If the Hindus and Muslims
can solve this different apostrophe
s, then to the Muslim will be united.
How do you
do it? Come to common terms as between
us and you. Which is the first term?
Allah.
That we worship none but Allah.
So let us discuss today
the concept of God in Hinduism according
to the scriptures of Hinduism.
The most popular amongst all the scripture of
the Hindus,
it is the Bhagavad Gita.
The Bhagavad Gita says in chapter number 7
verse 20,
all those whose intelligence
has been stolen by material desires, they worship
demigods.
That means the materialistic people,
they worship demigods.
They do false.
They worship false God. Further, it's mentioned in
Upanishads,
which is
the second high secret scripture of Hindus after
the Vedas.
It is supposed to be the word of
God.
It's mentioned in the
chapter number 6, section number 2, verse number
1.
God is only 1 without a second.
It further mentioned in the
chapter number 6 verse number 9.
Of that God,
there is no
Lord.
He has no parents.
He has got no superior. He has no
mother. He has got no father.
It's mentioned in chapter
number 4, Psalm
19.
Of that God, there is no
is a Sanskrit word which means an image.
It means a sculpture.
It means an idol.
It means a photograph, a painting, a picture,
a portrait.
So
chapter number 4 number 19
says, of that God there is no
There is no image. There is no sculpture.
There is no idol. There is no statue.
There is no photograph. There is no painting.
There is no picture. There is no portrait.
The same message repeated in the age of
chapter number 3 to verse number 3.
Of that God, there is no
there is no image,
there is no statue, there is no idol,
there is no sculpture, there is no painting,
there is no photograph, there is no portrait,
there is no picture.
The Vedas are the highest
amongst all the scriptures of the Hindus.
It further mentioned
chapter number 40 verse number 8.
Almighty God is imageless.
It's mentioned in the January chapter number 40
verse number 9,
and darkness.
Means entering
and They are entering darkness,
those who worship
the natural things. The uncreated things like water,
air, fire and the verse continues,
they are entering more in darkness
those who worship the creative things like table,
chair,
idols, etcetera. Who says that? Yajurveda
chapter number 40 verse number 9.
It further mentioned in the
book number 20, hymn number 58 verse number
3.
Verily great is almighty God.
And amongst all the Vedas, the 4 Vedas,
the highest and the most sacred is the
Rigveda.
It's mentioned in Rigveda,
hymn number 164.
Shlok number 46.
Sages
call Almighty God by various names. The saintly
people call God by a variety of names.
The same message repeated in Rigveda, book number
10, hymn number 14,
Verse number 5,
saintly people
call God by a variety of names.
If you read and read with book number
2,
hymn number 1 alone, there are no less
than
33 different
attributes
given to almighty God.
One amongst them
is
Brahma.
Brahma
is
the creator God.
If you translate into Arabic,
it becomes Khaliq. So we Muslims
have no objection if someone says, almighty God
is Khaliq
or he's the creator or he's Brahma. But
if someone says, Brahma is almighty God, who
has got forehead and on each head is
a crown and he has got 4 hands,
then we Muslims take strong objection to it
because we are going against
chapter number 4 verse number 19, which says,
of that God, there is no. There is
no image. There is no statue.
There is no sculpture. There is no idol.
There is no pincher. There is no painting.
There is no patriot.
They're the attribute
given to almighty God in Greek book number
2, him number 1,
is Vishnu.
Vishnu
is the sustainer God.
If you translate it into Arabic, it is
similar to rub. We Muslims have got no
objection if someone calls almighty God as rub
or a sustainer or Vishnu. But if someone
says Vishnu is Almighty God who has got
4 hands and one of His right hand
is the discus, the chakra, the other hand
is the conch,
He's traveling on on the sea, on the
bed of snakes, or flying on the bird
called as Garuda. We Muslims
take strong objection to it because
moreover,
you are going against the arid.
Chapter number 32, verse number 3, which says,
of that God, there is no. There is
no image. There is no idol. There's no
sculpture. There is no statue. There is no
picture. There is no painting. There is no
portrait.
It is further mentioned in Rigveda book number
8, hymn number 1. Verse number 1, worship
him alone.
Praise him alone, the one true God.
It's mentioned in Rigveda book number 6,
hymn number 45,
verse number 16.
There's only one God, worship him alone.
And the Brahma Sutra,
the fundamental creed of Hinduism is,
There is only one God, not a second
one. Not at all, not at all, not
in the least bit.
So if you read the Hindu scriptures, you
should understand the concept of God in Hinduism
And you know that Hinduism also speaks about
believing and worshiping only one God.
