Showing posts with the label (An Islamic Response to Hinduism)

Are the Modern Hindus logical or blind followers of their ancestors???

Indian Philosophy is based on the concept of divinity of soul. According to this philosophy, God is the supreme soul and souls coming from the divine body of God, enter the damageable bodies. So, we are actually eternal souls, not the damageable bodies. But we are in ignorance thinking that we are the bodies, not the eternal souls. That is called 'Maya' or illusion due to our ignorance. Now, if we accept the theory that the soul is eternal, there remains a question why the eternal soul enters the damageable body? Why the perfect entity suddenly discovers itself in the bondage of illusion and starts to assume itself as imperfect??? But if you look at the Indian Philosophy deeply, you can not find any valid answer or explanation of this question which means that there is no proof that the soul is eternal and it is the part of the Supreme Soul. This issue can be made clear from the writings of Indian Scholar Swami Vivekananda. ***"Why should the free, perfect, and pure b...

WHY WE CAN NOT ACCEPT HINDUISM AS TRUE???

[Note: This article is not for insulting the Hindu people, but only to differenciate the Islamic point of view from Indian Philosophy. The Hindu people often prefers to see Islam in the angle of their theology and thus they try to explain Islam from their own perception. So, here we want to present the correct Islamic point of view by giving a brief response from our side. May peace be on you all.] In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful. We testify that there is no god but Allah and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the servant and last messenger of Almighty Allah. The Hindu people claim Hinduism as "Sanatan Dharma" which means a faith and a way of life which is everlasting. From our Islamic point of view, we consider it as a way of misguidance and to guide the people from misguidance to the right way, Allah the Almighty has sent different messengers from the beginning of the Creation. For this reason, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is not t...

Why Hinduism is a 'Misguidance' to us???

The Hindu people claim Hinduism as "Sanatan Dharma" which means a faith and way of life which is everlasting. From our Islamic point of view, we consider it as a way of misguidance and to guide the people from misguidance to the right way, Allah the Almighty has sent different messengers from the beginning of the Creation. For this reason, Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) is not the founder of any new religion like "Muhammedanism", but he is the last messenger of the same faith which is "submission of our will to the One True Creator" and in Arabic it can be translated as "Islam". So, if Hinduism or Sanatan Dharma is the oldest faith, then from our point of view, Islam is the correction of such corrupted way of life. For this reason, there are many points can be analysed to show Islam clearly before the Hindu people. But for the easy understanding of truth, we are only trying to say about a few points below. => Who is the Ultimate Creator in Hindu...

Rebuttal to Hindu Ascetic Ramakrishna's Theory "Yata Mat Tata Path" - [Part 1]

Introduction: Hindus have often tried to pose the charming theory of their mystic personality "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa" which is *Yata Mat Tata Path* . It is a Bengali term **যত মত তত পথ** which means "As many faiths, so many paths" . => What does the theory say: The theory says that if you take any path like Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and so on, you will at the end reach to the same goal. The theory invented by Ramakrishna was later preached by his most famous disciple Swami Vivekananda. In the website of " Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission" , it is stated like this way, "....Sri Ramakrishna recognized the differences among religions but showed that, **in spite of these differences, they lead to the same Ultimate Goal** . This is the meaning of his famous maxim, Yato mat, tato path, “As many faiths, so many paths”. Apart from this, Swami Vivekananda also held that the religions of the world are expression...
