Good understanding of religion

a. Do not see the followers of a religion. Refer to the authentic sources of the religion

The followers of major religions, be it Hinduism, Islam or Christianity, have divided themselves into sects and beliefs varied.

It is not appropriate for trying to understand a religion by observing the followers of this religion. Most of the disciples themselves may not be aware of the correct teaching of their religion. Thus, the best and most appropriate method of understanding any religion is to understand the authentic sources of this religion, namely the sacred texts of the religion.

b. Authentic sources of Islam.

Allah (swt), God Almighty says in the Holy Qur'an:

And hold fast, all together,

by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you)

and be not divided among yourselves.

(Al Quran 3:103)

The string "Allah refers to" the holy Koran. Allah (swt) says that Muslims should not be divided and that the only unifying factor is the true source of the religion of Islam, namely the Koran.

Allah (swt) also says in the Holy Quran in several places, including Al-Qur'an 4:59:

O ye who believe!

Obey Allah and obey the Messenger.

(4:59 Quran Al)

To better understand the Qur'an we must refer to the explanation of the Qur'an by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in which the Quran was revealed. Thus, the best and most appropriate method of understanding Islam is to understand the authentic sources of Islam are the Holy Quran (the words of God Almighty) and the authentic Hadith (ie words and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad.

C. Sources of Authentic Hinduism

Similarly, the best and most appropriate method to understand Hinduism is to understand the authentic sources ie the sacred text of Hinduism. The most sacred scriptures of Hinduism are the Vedas and authentic, followed by the Upanishads, the Itihaas, Bhagvad Gita, Puranas, etc.

Let us understand these two major world religions, namely Islam and Hinduism, by studying and analyzing the authentic Scriptures of these two great religions of the world.

d. Focusing on these similarities, which are not generally known.

In this work on the "similarities between Islam and Hinduism, we will not focus on the similarities that are known by almost all the faithful of both religions, for example, a person must always tell the truth, should not lie, he should not fly, he should be good, it should not be cruel, etc. Instead, we will consider such similarities, which are not generally known to all the faithful, and hence are known only to those familiar with the contents of their sacred texts.
