9 myths about Hinduism — debunked

[mehul sharma]

That fits in perfectly with what Islam teaches us. That the word of God reached all people but they then corrupted it. So Hindus certainly did have a prophet who taught them to believe in One God alone but his teachings became diluted over time.

Also can you shed some information on the practice of Sati?

we dont have prophets we have avatars the reincarnation of God. Krishna was not a prophet he was the reincarnation of God. God is one and supreme. "whenever there will be lack of dharma and adharma will grip the world then God's Incarnation will born on earth to reduce everything unholy to dust and establish the dharma again" .Krishna was the last incarnation of God on earth


Sati PRACTICE was a bad practice in Hinduism. Sati was a woman who fought with Yamraj for her husbands life and Yamraj was not able to take her husband's life because of her commitment towards her husband something like that.

According to Quran There is not a nation unto which a warner was not sent. Considering hinduism is a very old religion, it might have been a very long time ago.

Islam came after Hinduism hence there was no mention of prophet in Hinduism
We don't have that concept even

I'm sure there was, but you guys probably turned him into one of the dieties, like Ram etc.

"Yada Yada Hi Dharmasya Glanirva Bhavathi Bharatha, Abhyuthanam Adharmaysya Tadatmanam Srijami Aham'"

Bhagavad Gita (Chapter IV-7)

"Whenever there is decay of righteousness O! Bharatha And a rise of unrighteousness then I manifest Myself!"

I have a positive view of Hinduism, in part because it is very similar to Buddhism.

(Most of my family are Chinese Buddhists).

All religions are cool
The problem lies with the people who misinterpret it

Sir but still we are not 100% sure regarding this. If Allah did sent down Prophet unto this nation then He would have mentioned it specifically in quran just like He mentioned many other prophets in Quran.

Islam came after Hinduism hence there was no mention of prophet in Hinduism
We don't have that concept even

Look we muslim believe that Allah have sent down many prophets unto mankind and Prophet Muhammad saw is His last prophet, so there could be possibility that Allah did sent some prophets unto this nation.

everything is not happening according to Quran as Hinduism is there before quran or Islam was born so practically Religion was there when there was No Islam.Krishna said in Gita that I am one supreme God but I gave freedom to choose the method people want to worship me. I am in every living non living thing. I don't discriminate everything on earth matters to me same.Animal's life is as important as Human life.

Many of these are not myths and the authors "debunking" is actually just her personal view.

Prophets are those people who are assigned by Allah to prevail His message onto mankind. We muslims believe that Allah have sent many prophets onto mankind and Prophet Muhammad Saw is the last prophet.
And we muslims also believes in jesus (Prophet Isa AS), moses (Hazrat musa As)and jacob (Prophet Yousuf AS) just like christians and jews. But only difference is that they dont believe in Prophet Muhammad Saw.

Anyway i think that Allah swt didnt sent any prophet onto this nation, though i could be wrong but Allah knows best.

He sent them on all but over time messages have been altered. Hinduism itself is not monolithic religion in fact it is rather a banding together of multiple beliefs, even the term Hinduism was ascribed by the British who could not understand how to classify local religions so they just lumped them all together under one umbrella. Before British came along Hindu meant any inhabitant of Hindustan and was any South Asian regardless of belief.

Local beliefs will largely differ from even village to village in India, that is why some say Hinduism is polytheistic while others like the author will say monotheistic. Some will say cow is a God others will say cow is just the mother and others yet will just ascribe respect to a cow. Than you can also find those with ancestor worship and animistic beliefs as well. Heck today you even have so called atheist Hindus. To explain these differences they now say they are just different strains of thought within one religion.

Yet other Hindus on this forum have argued some points otherwise many times. There have been whole threads of troll wars over the status of cows in Bharat alone lol.

Hinduism is less about religion and more about way of life
the same you will find in bhagwat gita
it teaches the way of life
You can be a Muslim and still follow Hinduism

The reason for it being a amalgamation of so many faiths is it is a very old religion or should I say the oldest when people didn't even knew what religion was

So it's not like Islam or Christianity

I am a cow worshipper
in Hinduism.....even people have a particular god.....I don't know how to explain it to you
people of my faith call it 'Gotra'
Based on the qualities of the animals people worship them
you will find people worshipping snakes

We as follower of Lord Shiva worship cow
But cow is not considered as a god rather a holy thing....a mother which gives milk to feed the child's
Hence the term Gau Mata
I don't know how much of this is making sense to you because you were raised up in a totally different culture

You can ask anything if you want to know
If I know....I will try to explain

Thanks for the info sir!

So if they had multiple religions then that means they obviously would have many gods. So by this we can also conclude that the OPs assumption is wrong.
And if we see things from our perspective, Allah could have sent not one but many Prophets unto this nation.
What do you think sir?

Well yeah it is possible he sent multiple. Even amongst the semites he sent multiple so there is a good chance.
