How to Remove the Difference between Hinduism and Islam

00:00:04--> 00:00:04

The concept

00:00:05--> 00:00:06

of God in Hinduism.

00:00:07--> 00:00:08

If you ask a common Hindu,

00:00:09--> 00:00:11

that how many gods does he believe in?

00:00:12--> 00:00:13

Some may say 3.

00:00:14--> 00:00:16

Some may say 100. Some may say 1,000.

00:00:16--> 00:00:19

While others will say 33 crows, 330,000,000.

00:00:21--> 00:00:23

But if you ask a learned Hindu who's

00:00:23--> 00:00:25

well versed with the scriptures, he will tell

00:00:25--> 00:00:26

you that the Hindus

00:00:26--> 00:00:28

should believe and worship only 1 God.

00:00:29--> 00:00:31

But the common Hindu, he believed in a

00:00:31--> 00:00:32

philosophy

00:00:32--> 00:00:34

known as pantheism.

00:00:35--> 00:00:37

Pantheism means that everything is God.

00:00:38--> 00:00:40

The sun is God. The moon is God.

00:00:40--> 00:00:42

The tree is God. The human being is

00:00:42--> 00:00:45

God. The snake is God. What we Muslims

00:00:45--> 00:00:45

believe

00:00:46--> 00:00:50

that everything belongs to God. Everything is God's.

00:00:51--> 00:00:53

G o d with an apostrophe. Yes. Everything

00:00:53--> 00:00:54

belongs to God.

00:00:55--> 00:00:57

The sun belongs to God. The moon belongs

00:00:57--> 00:00:58

to God. The tree belongs to God. The

00:00:58--> 00:01:00

human being belongs to God. The snake belongs

00:01:00--> 00:01:01

to God.

00:01:01--> 00:01:03

So the major difference

00:01:04--> 00:01:05

between the common Hindu

00:01:05--> 00:01:07

and the common Muslim is,

00:01:07--> 00:01:10

the Hindu says everything is God. We Muslims

00:01:10--> 00:01:12

say everything is God's.

00:01:13--> 00:01:15

God with an apostrophe s. If we can

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

solve this difference

00:01:17--> 00:01:20

of apostrophe s, then the Muslim will be

00:01:20--> 00:01:20

united.

00:01:27--> 00:01:30

Now when we read the secret scriptures of

00:01:30--> 00:01:30

the Hindus,

00:01:31--> 00:01:34

it's mentioned in the Upanishad. Upanishad is the

00:01:34--> 00:01:34

00:02:00--> 00:02:02

He has got no Lord. Almighty God has

00:02:02--> 00:02:04

got no mother, no father, no superior.

00:02:05--> 00:02:06

It's mentioned

00:02:07--> 00:02:09

00:02:11--> 00:02:12

00:02:52--> 00:02:55

00:03:29--> 00:03:32

It's mentioned in chapter 40 verse number 8.

00:04:16--> 00:04:19

The Vedas are the most sacred amongst all

00:04:19--> 00:04:20

the scriptures of the Hindus.

00:04:21--> 00:04:23

And amongst the Vedas,

00:04:24--> 00:04:26

the most important, most sacred is Rigved.

00:04:26--> 00:04:29

It's mentioned Rigved. Book number 1. Hymn number

00:04:29--> 00:04:31

164. Verse number 46.

00:04:35--> 00:04:39

Truth is 1. God is 1. Sages and

00:04:39--> 00:04:41

saints call him by different names. The same

00:04:41--> 00:04:43

message is repeated in Rigved,

00:04:43--> 00:04:44

book number 10.

00:04:45--> 00:04:48

Hymn number 114, verse number 5. That God

00:04:48--> 00:04:49

is 1,

00:04:49--> 00:04:51

but saints call him by a variety of

00:04:51--> 00:04:52

names.

00:04:52--> 00:04:53

And there are

00:04:54--> 00:04:56

no less than 33 attributes

00:04:57--> 00:04:59

given to almighty God in Rigveda book number

00:04:59--> 00:05:01

2, hymn number 1 alone. One of the

00:05:01--> 00:05:04

attributes is in Rigveda book number 2, hymn

00:05:04--> 00:05:06

number 1 verse number 3, is brahma.

00:05:07--> 00:05:08

Brahma

00:05:09--> 00:05:11

is called as the creator God.

00:05:12--> 00:05:15

If you translate creator into Arabic, it means.

00:05:16--> 00:05:16

We

00:05:17--> 00:05:19

Muslims have got no objection. If someone calls

00:05:19--> 00:05:20

almighty God

00:05:21--> 00:05:21

as

00:05:22--> 00:05:25

or creator or Brahma. But if someone says

00:05:25--> 00:05:27

Brahma is almighty God who has got foreheads.

00:05:27--> 00:05:29

And on each head of the crown, we

00:05:29--> 00:05:32

Muslims take strong exception to it. Because we

00:05:32--> 00:05:33

are going against.

00:05:34--> 00:05:37

Chapter number 4. Verse number 19 which says,

00:05:38--> 00:05:40

of that God, there is no. There is

00:05:40--> 00:05:42

no image. There is no idol. There is

00:05:42--> 00:05:44

no picture. There is no painting. There is

00:05:44--> 00:05:45

no portrait. There is no statue. There is

00:05:45--> 00:05:46

no sculpture.

00:05:46--> 00:05:48

The other attribute given

00:05:49--> 00:05:49

to Almighty

00:05:50--> 00:05:52

God in Rigveda, book number 2, hymn number

00:05:52--> 00:05:54

1, verse number 3, is Vishnu.

00:05:54--> 00:05:55

Vishnu

00:05:55--> 00:05:56

is called as

00:05:57--> 00:05:58

the sustainer God,

00:05:58--> 00:05:59

the cherisher.

00:06:00--> 00:06:01

If you translate

00:06:01--> 00:06:02

sustainer or cherisher

00:06:03--> 00:06:05

to Arabic, it is somewhat similar to rub.

00:06:06--> 00:06:08

We Muslims have got no objection. If someone

00:06:08--> 00:06:11

calls almighty God as rub or cherisher or

00:06:11--> 00:06:11

sustainer

00:06:12--> 00:06:14

or Vishnu. But if someone says Vishnu is

00:06:14--> 00:06:15

almighty God

00:06:16--> 00:06:18

who's traveling on the sea, on a bell

00:06:18--> 00:06:20

of snakes, who has got 4 hands. On

00:06:20--> 00:06:22

one hand is the chakra and flying on

00:06:22--> 00:06:24

the bird by the name of Garuda. We

00:06:24--> 00:06:27

Muslims take strong objection to it. And we're

00:06:27--> 00:06:27

going

00:06:28--> 00:06:30

against chapter number 32. Verse number 3 which

00:06:30--> 00:06:30

says,

00:06:32--> 00:06:34

of that God, there is no. There is

00:06:34--> 00:06:36

no image. There is no idol. There is

00:06:36--> 00:06:38

no picture. There is no portrait. There is

00:06:38--> 00:06:40

no painting. There is no sculpture. There is

00:06:40--> 00:06:41

no statue.

00:06:41--> 00:06:44

It's further mentioned in Rigved. Book number 8.

00:06:44--> 00:06:46

Hymn number 1. Verse number 1.

00:06:48--> 00:06:50

Do not worship him except

00:06:50--> 00:06:53

the one and only. Praise him alone. It's

00:06:53--> 00:06:55

mentioned in Rigved, book number 6.

00:06:56--> 00:06:57

Hymn number 45,

00:06:57--> 00:06:58

verse number 16.

00:06:59--> 00:07:00

It says,

00:07:02--> 00:07:03

praise him alone, one God.

00:07:04--> 00:07:05

Only praise him.

00:07:05--> 00:07:07

And the Brahma sutra

00:07:08--> 00:07:11

of Hinduism. The fundamental creed of Hinduism is,

00:07:19--> 00:07:21

There's only one God. Not a second one.

00:07:21--> 00:07:23

Not at all. Not at all. Not in

00:07:23--> 00:07:24

the least bit.

00:07:25--> 00:07:27

So if you read the Hindu scripture, you'll

00:07:27--> 00:07:30

understand the concept of God in Hinduism and

00:07:30--> 00:07:33

understand Hinduism in the right perspective. And that

00:07:33--> 00:07:36

Hindus and the Muslims.

00:07:33--> 00:07:36

Hindus and the Muslims.
