Hinduism is PRINCIPLES BASED , not PERSON
BASED
–DSM Satyarthi
‘Vedaahametam Purusham Mahaantamaadity’varn’am tamasasparastaat.
tamev viditvaati mr’tyumeti,
NAANYAH PANTHAA VIDYATEY’NAAY’.’
‘I KNOW this man, the END of greatness, to be chosen/having color LIKE SUN,BEYOND THE REACH OF DARKNESS.
KNOWING ONLY HIM, one crosses death.
There isn’t another way to live the life.’
–Ved:2Yajurved: 31|18.
As Islam is based on Kalmae Tayyaba:’La ilah illillah, Muhammadarrasoolallah; Hinduism is based on Gayatri Mantr:
‘Bhoorbhuvah svah!
tatsaviturvarenyam, Bhargo devasy’ dheemahi,
DHIYO YO NAH PRACHODAYAT.’
‘(Vow:)The Existence. The Consciousness. The Bliss. We meditate on the Creator of all, Worthy to be chosen, the Pure, the Divine, Who guide our WISDOM.’
-Ved: 2 Yajurved: Chapter 36/3, Maitraayan’ee Samhita: 1/6/41, 8/18;34;37,41; 3/4/10; Shatpath Brahman’: 3/2/2/6
In Hinduism, this Mantr is called MoolMantr, Mahamantr, Mantrraj, etc.
The main difference between these two basic themes of these two great religions, is:
Kalmae Tayyaba mentions a person.
Gayatri Mantr does not.
It mentions Eishan Parambrahm Paramatma only.
Thus Islam is basically a person oriented religion, while Hinduism is basically immune to any person whosoever.
It is based on PRINCIPLES, not on any person whosoever.
It does not mean that Islam is not fit for humankind.
It means only that Hinduism has more coverage for human emotions and human needs than Islam.
Maulana Saiyad Abul Aala Maududi himself writes in this matter:
‘By saying that the Qur’an is inscribed in Umm al-Kitab, attention has been drawn to an important truth.
Different Books had been revealed by Allah in different ages to different Prophets for the guidance of different nations in different languages, but aII these Books invited mankind to one and the same Faith: they regarded one and the same thing as the Truth; they presented one and the same criterion of good and evil; they propounded the same principles of morality and civilization; in short, they brought one and the same Din (Religion).
The reason was that their source and origin was the same, only words were different; they had the same meaning and theme which is inscribed in a Source Book with Allah, and whenever there was a need, He raised a Prophet and sent down the same meaning and subject-matter clothed in a particular diction according to the environment and occasion.
Had Allah willed to raise the Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be His peace) in another nation instead of the Arabs, He would have sent down the same Qur’an in the language of that nation. In it the meaning and content would have been expressed according to the environments and conditions of the people and land; the words would have been different and the language also different but the teaching and guidance the same basically, and it would be the same Qur’an though not the Arabic Qur’an. ‘
–Towards understanding the Qur’an: 43|1-4
Ved is called: APAURUSHEY‘.
Not written by any man.
Not written by even this man too, who is the END of greatness, to be chosen/having color LIKE SUN, BEYOND THE REACH OF DARKNESS.
KNOWING ONLY HIM, one crosses death.
It’s revealed by EISHAN PARAM BRAHM PARAMATMA, beyond even this man too.
He KNOWS this man’
‘Vedaahametam Purusham’
He isn’t this man Himself:
‘Dvaa suparn’aa sayujaa sakhaayaa
samaanam vr’xam parishasvajaate.
tayoranyah pippalam svaadvattyanashnannanyo,
abhichaaksheeti.’
Out of the two, one eats the sweet fruit of the tree, the Other, eating not, supervises properly.’
–Ved: 1 R’gved: 1|164|20
