Hadhrat Bayazid Bastami rahmatullah alayhi while in
meditation, saw himself in a synagogue dressed as a Jew. At
first he was confused, but when he kept on seeing the same
vision over and over again, he decided to enact it. So, he
dressed himself as a Jew and went to their synagogue.
When
the Jews and their scholars were present, their chief Rabbi
stood up to speak. But when he stood up, his tongue became
stuck and he could not talk. After he had been standing quietly
for some time, the Jews started to complain. The Rabbi said,
"In this gathering there is a follower of the Prophet
Muhammed (sallalahu alayhi wassalam) and I cannot speak because
he has come to examine us."
On
hearing this, their anger raged like wildfire and they asked
the Rabbi to give them permission to kill this follower of
the Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu alayhi wassalam). The Rabbi
replied, "He cannot be killed without proof, so we must
talk to him peacefully and respectfully and then we can decide."
The
Rabbi then said, "Oh follower of Muhammad (sallalahu
alayhi wassalam). For the sake of your Prophet please stand
up in your place. If you can remove our doubt about Islam
then we shall accept Islam, but if you can't, then we shall
kill you." On hearing this, Hadhrat Bayazid rahmatullah
alayhi stood up and gave permission for them to question him.

What is the key to paradise?" The Rabbi replied, "If
I give the answer to this question, this gathering will kill
me."

SCIENTIFIC
COMPARISON BETWEEN Quran AND BIBLE
If
you glance through the Bible and the Quran you may find several
points which appear to be exactly the same in both of them,
but when you analyze them closely, you realize that there is
a difference of 'chalk and cheese' between them. Only based
on historical details it is difficult for someone who is neither
conversant with Christianity or Islam to come to a firm decision
as to which of the scriptures is true; however if you verify
the relevant passages of both the scriptures against scientific
knowledge, you will yourself realize the truth.
a.
Creation of the Universe in Six Days
As per the Bible, in the first book of Genesis in Chapter One,
the universe was created in six days and each day is defined
as a twenty-four hours period. Even though the Quran mentions
that the universe was created in six 'Ayyaams', 'Ayyaam' is
the plural of years; this word has two meanings: firstly, it
means a standard twenty-four hours period i.e. a day, and secondly,
it also means stage, period or epoch which is a very long period
of time.
When the Quran mentions that the universe was created in six
'Ayyaams', it refers to the creation of the heavens and the
earth in six long periods or epochs; scientists have no objection
to this statement. The creation of the universe has taken billions
of years, which proves false or contradicts the concept of the
Bible which states that the creation of the Universe took six
days of twenty-four hour durations each.
b.
Sun Created After the Day
The Bible says in chapter 1, verses 3-5, of Genesis that the
phenomenon of day and night was created on the first day of
creation of the Universe by God. The light circulating in the
universe is the result of a complex reaction in the stars; these
stars were created according to the Bible (Genesis chapter 1
verse 14 to 19) on the fourth day. It is illogical to mention
the result that is the light (the phenomenon of day and night)
was created on the first day of Creation when the cause or source
of the light was created three days later. Moreover the existence
of evening and morning as elements of a single day is only conceivable
after the creation of the earth and its rotation around the
sun. In contrast with the contents of the Bible on this issue,
the Quran does not give any unscientific sequence of Creation.
Hence it is absolutely absurd to say that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
copied the passages pertaining to the creation of the universe
from the Bible but missed out this illogical and fantastic sequence
of the Bible.
c.
Creation of the Sun, The Earth and the Moon
According to the Bible, Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verses 9
to 13, the earth was created on the third day, and as per verses
14 to 19, the sun and the moon were created on the fourth day.
The earth and the moon emanated, as we know, from their original
star, the Sun. Hence to place the creation of the sun and the
moon after the creation of the earth is contrary to the established
idea about the formation of the solar system.
d.
Vegetation Created on the third day and Sun on the fourth day
According to the Bible, Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verses 11-13,
vegetation was created on the third day along with seed-bearing
grasses, plants and trees; and further on as per verses 14-19,
the sun was created on the fourth day. How is it scientifically
possible for the vegetation to have appeared without the presence
of the sun, as has been stated in the Bible?
If Prophet Muhummad (pbuh) was indeed the author of the Quran
and had copied its contents from the Bible, how did he manage
to avoid the factual errors that the Bible contains? The Quran
does not contain any statements which are incompatible with
scientific facts.
e.
The Sun and the Moon both Emit light
According to the Bible both the sun and the moon emit their
own light. In the Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verse 16 says,
"And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule
the day, and the lesser light to rule the night".
Science tells us today that the moon does not have its own light.
This confirms the Quranic concept that the light of the moon
is a reflected light. To think that 1400 years ago, Prophet
Muhummad (pbuh) corrected these scientific errors in the Bible
and then copied such corrected passages in the Quran is to think
of something impossible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Common
Concept of God in Hinduism:
1. Hinduism is commonly perceived as a polytheistic religion.
Indeed, most Hindus would attest to this, by professing belief
in multiple Gods. While some Hindus believe in the existence
of three gods, some believe in thousands of gods, and some others
in thirty three crore i.e. 330 million Gods. However, learned
Hindus, who are well versed in their scriptures, insist that
a Hindu should believe in and worship only one God.
The
major difference between the Hindu and the Muslim perception
of God is the common Hindus' belief 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!
Islam,
on the contrary, exhorts man to consider himself and his surroundings
as examples of Divine Creation rather than as divinity itself.
Muslims therefore believe that everything is God's i.e. the
word 'God' with an apostrophe 's'. In other words the Muslims
believe that everything belongs to God. The trees belong to
God, the sun belongs to God, the moon belongs to God, the monkey
belongs to God, the snake belongs to God, the human beings belong
to God and everything in this universe belongs to God.
Thus
the major difference between the Hindu and the Muslim beliefs
is the difference of the apostrophe 's'. The Hindu says everything
is God. The Muslim says everything is God's.
2. Concept of God according to Hindu Scriptures:
We can gain a better understanding of the concept of God in
Hinduism by analysing Hindu scriptures.
BHAGAVAD
GITA :
The
most popular amongst all the Hindu scriptures is the Bhagavad
Gita.
Consider the following verse from the Gita:
"Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material
desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular
rules and regulations of worship according to their own
natures."
[Bhagavad Gita 7:20]
The Gita states that people who are materialistic worship
demigods i.e. 'gods' besides the True God.
UPANISHADS :
The Upanishads are considered sacred scriptures by the
Hindus.
The following verses from the Upanishads refer to the
Concept of God:
"Ekam evadvitiyam"
"He is One only without
a second."
[Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1]1
"Na casya kascij janita na cadhipah."
"Of Him there are
neither parents nor lord."
[Svetasvatara Upanishad
6:9]2
"Na tasya pratima asti"
"There is no likeness
of Him."
[Svetasvatara Upanishad
4:19]3
The following verses from the Upanishad allude to the
inability of man to imagine God in a particular form:
"Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati
kas canainam."
"His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with
the eye."
[Svetasvatara Upanishad
4:20]4

[Sacred Books of the East, volume 15, 'The Upanishads part II'
page no 253]
THE
VEDAS
:
Vedas are considered the
most sacred of all the Hindu scriptures. There are four principal
Vedas: Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samveda and Atharvaveda.
Yajurveda
The following verses from
the Yajurveda echo a similar concept of God:
"na tasya pratima asti
"There is no image
of Him."
[Yajurveda 32:3]5
"shudhama poapvidham"
"He is bodyless and
pure."
[Yajurveda 40:8]6
"Andhatama pravishanti ye asambhuti mupaste"
"They enter darkness,
those who worship the natural elements" (Air, Water, Fire,
etc.). "They sink deeper in
darkness, those who worship sambhuti."
[Yajurveda 40:9]7
Sambhuti means created things, for example table, chair,
idol, etc.
The Yajurveda contains the following prayer:
"Lead us to the good
path and remove the sin that makes us stray and wander."
[Yajurveda 40:16]8
---------------------------------------------------------------------

7[Yajurveda
Samhita by Ralph T. H. Giffith page 538]
8[Yajurveda
Samhita by Ralph T. H. Griffith page 541]
Atharvaveda
The Atharvaveda praises
God in Book 20, hymn 58 and verse 3:
"Dev maha osi"
"God is verily great"
[Atharvaveda 20:58:3]9
Rigveda
The oldest of all the vedas is Rigveda. It is also the
one considered most sacred by the Hindus. The Rigveda
states in Book 1, hymn 164 and verse 46:
"Sages (learned Priests)
call one God by many names."
[Rigveda 1:164:46]
The Rigveda gives several different attributes to Almighty
God. Many of these are mentioned in Rigveda Book 2
hymn 1.
Among the various attributes of God, one of the beautiful
attributes mentioned in the Rigveda Book II hymn 1
verse 3, is Brahma. Brahma means 'The Creator'. Translated
into Arabic it means Khaaliq. Muslims can have no
objection if Almighty God is referred to as Khaaliq or
'Creator' or Brahma. However if it is said that Brahma is
Almighty God who has four heads with each head having
a crown, Muslims take strong exception to it.
Describing Almighty God in anthropomorphic terms also
goes against the following verse of Yajurveda:
"Na tasya Pratima asti"
"There is no image
of Him."
[Yajurveda 32:3]
Another beautiful attribute of God mentioned in the Rigveda
Book II hymn 1 verse 3 is Vishnu. Vishnu means
'The Sustainer'. Translated into Arabic it means Rabb.
Again, Muslims can have no objection if Almighty God is
referred to as Rabb or 'Sustainer' or Vishnu. But the
popular image of
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[Atharveda
Samhita vol 2 William Dwight Whitney page 910]
Vishnu among Hindus, is that of a God who has four arms,
with one of the right arms holding the Chakra, i.e.
a discus and one of the left arms holding a 'conch
shell', or riding a bird or reclining on a snake couch. Muslims
can never accept
any image of God. As mentioned earlier this also goes against
Svetasvatara Upanishad
Chapter 4 verse 19.
"Na tasya pratima asti"
"There is no likeness
of Him"
The following verse from the Rigveda Book 8, hymn 1, verse
1 refer to the Unity and Glory of the Supreme
Being:
"Ma cid anyad vi sansata sakhayo ma rishanyata"
"O friends, do not
worship anybody but Him, the Divine One. Praise Him alone."
[Rigveda 8:1:1]10
"Devasya samituk parishtutih"
"Verily, great is
the glory of the Divine Creator."
[Rigveda 5:1:81]11
Brahma Sutra of Hinduism:
The Brahma Sutra of Hinduism is:
"Ekam Brahm, dvitiya naste neh na naste kinchan"
"There is only one God, not the second; not at all,
not at all, not in the least bit."
Thus only a dispassionate study of the Hindu scriptures
can help one understand the concept of God in
Hinduism.

Samhita vol. 9, pages 2810 and 2811 by Swami Satya Prakash Sarasvati
and Satyakam Vidyalankar]

and Satyakam Vidyalankar]
As
from the sun." The Prophecy confirms:
The
name of the Prophet as Ahmed since Ahmed is an Arabic name.
Many translators misunderstood it to be 'Ahm at hi' and translated
the mantra as "I alone have acquired the real wisdom of
my father".
Prophet
was given eternal law, i.e. the Shariah.
The
Rishi was enlightened by the Shariah of Prophet Muhammad. The
Qur'an says in Surah Saba Chapter 34 verse 28 (34:28):
"We
have not sent thee but as a universal (Messenger) to men, giving
them glad tidings and warning them (against sin), but most men
understand not."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
CONCEPT
OF GOD IN SIKHISM:
MULMANTRA: THE FUNDAMENTAL CREED OF SIKHISM
The
best definition that any Sikh can give regarding the concept
of God in Sikhism is to quote the Mulmantra - the fundamental
creed of Sikhism, which occurs at the beginning of Sri Guru
Granth Sahib.
It
is mentioned in Sri Guru Granth Sahib, volume 1 Japuji, the
first verse:
"There
exists but one God, who is called The True, The Creator, Free
from fear and hate, Immortal, Not begotten, Self-Existent, Great
and Compassionate."
Sikhism
is a monotheistic Religion
Sikhism
enjoins its followers to practice strict monotheism. It believes
in only One Supreme God who is, in the unmanifest form, called
Ek Omkara.
In
the manifest form He is called Omkara and has several attributes
such as:
Kartar
- The Creator
Akal - The Eternal
Sattanama - The Holy Name
Sahib - The Lord
Parvardigar - The Cherisher
Rahim - The Merciful
Karim - The Benevolent
He
is also called Wahe Guru - the One true God.
Besides
Sikhism being strictly monotheistic, it also does not believe
in Avataravada - the doctrine of incarnation. Almighty God does
not incarnate Himself in what is known as Avatara. Sikhism is
also strongly against idol worship.
Guru Nanak was influenced by Sant Kabir
Guru
Nanak was influenced by the sayings of Sant Kabir so much that
several chapters of Sri Guru Granth Sahib contain couplets of
Sant Kabir.
One
of the famous couplets of Sant Kabir is:
"Dukh
mein sumirana sabh karein
Sukh mein karein na koya
Jo sukh mein sumirana karein
To dukh kaye hoye?"
"In
times of trouble, God is remembered by all
But none remembers Him during peace and happiness.
If God is remembered in good times of happiness
Why should trouble occur?"
Compare
this with the following verse of the Quran :
"When
some trouble toucheth man,
He crieth unto his Lord,
Turning to Him in repentance:
But when He bestowed
A favour upon him
As from Himself,
(Man) doth forget what he cried
And prayed for before,
And he doth set up
Rivals unto Allah."
[Al-Qur'an 39:8]
The
Sikh scriptures therefore emphasize monotheism and God-consciousness.
