There is 2 major religions in South East Asia. 1- Islam 2-Hindu So we will discuss about the concept of God between this 2 religion. Concept Of Allah(God) In Hindu Scriptures. Today we will analyze another important book of Hindus i.e VEDAS. Vedas are the most sacred amongst all the Hindu scriptures, there are principally 4 Vedas, Rigved, Yajurved, Samved and Atharvaved. 1. Yajurveda a) Yajurveda, Chapter 32, Verse 3 It is mentioned in Yajurved, Chapter 32, Verse 3 “na tasya pratima asti” “There is no image of Him” It further says as “He is unborn, He deserves our worship” “There is no image of him whose glory verily is great. He sustains within himself all luminous objects like the sun etc. may he not harm me, this is my prayer. As he is unborn, he deserves our worship”. (The Yajurveda by Devi Chand M.A. page 377) b) Yajurveda, Chapter 40, Verse 8 It is mentioned in Yajurved, Chapter 40, Verse 8, “He is body less and pure” “He hath attained unto the bright, bodiless, woundless, sinewless, the pure which evil hath not pierced. Far-sighted wise, encompassing, he self existent hath prescribed aims as propriety demands unto the everlasting years” (Yajurveda Samhita by Ralph I.H. Griffith page 538) c) Yajurveda, Chapter 40, Verse 9 It is mentioned in Yajurved, Chapter 40, Verse 9 “Andhatma pravishanti ye asambhuti mupaste” “They enter darkness, those who worship natural things” For e.g. air, water, fire etc. It further continues and says, “They sink deeper in darkness those who worship Sambhuti i.e. created things”, For example table, chair, idol etc. “Deep into shade of blinding gloom fall asambhuti’s worshippers. They sink to darkness deeper yet who on sambhuti are intent” (Yajurveda Samhita by Ralph T.H. Griffith page 538) 2.Atharvaveda a) (i) Atharvaveda, Book 20, Hymn (Chapter) 58, Verse 3 It is mentioned in Atharvaveda, Book 20, Hymn (Chapter) 58, Verse 3 “Dev maha osi” “God is verily great” “Verily, surya, thou art great; truly, aditya, thou art great. As thou art great indeed thy greatness is admired: yea, verily, great art thou, O God” (Atharvaveda Samhiti Volume 2, William Dwight Whitney page 910) a) (ii) Surah Rad, Chapter 13, Verse 9 A similar message is given in Qur’an Surah Rad, Chapter 13, Verse 9, “He is the Great, the most High.” 3. Rigveda The most oldest and sacred amongst all the Vedas is Rigveda. a) Rigveda, Book No.1, Hymn No. 164, Verse 46 It is mentioned in Rigveda Book no.1, Hymn no.164 Verse 46 “Sages (learned Priest) call one God by many names” “They have styled (Him, God or the sun) indra (the resplendent), mitra (the surveyor), varuna (the venerable), agni (the adorable), and he is the celestial, well-winged garutmat (the great), for learned priests call one by many names as they speak of the adorable as yama (ordainer) and matarisvan (cosmic breath)”. b) (i) Rigveda, Book 2, Hymn 1 Rigveda gives no less than 33 different attributes to Almighty God several of these attributes are mentioned in Rigveda, Book 2, Hymn 1 b) (ii) Brahma - Creator - Khaliq, Rigveda Book 2, Hymn 1, Verse 3 Amongst the various attributes given in Rigveda one of the beautiful attributes for Almighty God is ‘Brahma’. ‘Brahma’ means ‘the creator’. If you translate into Arabic it means ‘Khaliq’. We Muslims have got no objection if you call Almighty God a ‘Khaliq’ or ‘Creator’ or ‘Brahma’ but if someone says that ‘Brahma’ is Almighty God who has got 4 heads and on each head is a crown and he has got 4 hands. We Muslims take strong except to it because you are giving an image to Almighty God. Moreover you are going against Yajurveda, Chapter 32, Verse 3, which says, “Na tasya pratima asti” ‘”There is no image of him” b) (iii) Vishnu - Sustainer - Rabb: Rigveda, Book II, Hymn 1, Verse 3 Another beautiful attribute mentioned in the Rigveda, Book II, Hymn 1, Verse 3, is Vishnu, ‘Vishnu’ means ‘the Sustainer’. If you translate into Arabic it means ‘Rabb’, we Muslims have no objection if anyone call Almighty God as ‘Rabb’ or ‘Sustainer’ or ‘Vishnu’ but if someone says Vishnu is Almighty God who has got 4 arms. One of the right arm holding the ‘Chakra’ i.e. a discus and one of the left arms holding a ‘Conch shell’ and he is riding on a bird or reclining on a snake couch. We Muslims take strong exception to this, because you are giving an image to Almighty God. Moreover you are going against Yajurveda, Chapter 40, Verse 8. c) Rigveda, Book 8, Hymn 1, Verse 1 It is mentioned in Rigveda, Book 8, Hymn 1, Verse 1 “Ma Chidanyadia Shansata” “Do not worship anybody but Him, the divine one Praise Him alone” “Ma cid anyad vi sansata sakhayo ma rishanyata in dram it stota vrishanam saca sute muhaur uktha ca sansata”. “O friends, do not worship anybody but Him, the divine one. Let no grief perturb you. Praise Him alone, the radiant, the showerer of benefits. During the course of self-realization, go on repeatedly uttering Hymns in His honour”. (Rigveda Samhiti, Volume IX, page 1 and 2 by Swami Satyaprakash Sarasvati and Satyakam Vidhya Lankar) d) (i) Rigveda, Book 5, Hymn 81, Verse 1 It is mentioned in Rigveda, Book 5, Hymn 81, Verse 1, “Verily great is the glory of the divine creator” (Rigveda Samhiti, Volume 6, page 1802 and 1803 by Swami Satya Prakash Saraswati and Satyakam Vidhyalanka) d) (ii) Surah Fateha, Chapter 1, Verse 2 Similar message is given in the Holy Qur’an In Surah Fateha, Chapter 1, Verse 2, “Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds”. e) (i) Rigveda, Book 3, Hymn 34, Verse 1 It is mentioned in Rigveda, Book 3, Hymn 34, Verse 1 “The bounteous giver” (Hymns of Rigveda, Volume 2, page 377, by Ralph T.H. Griffith) e) (ii) Surah Fateha, Chapter 1, Verse 3 Same as Surah Fateha, Chapter 1, Verse 3, “Most Gracious, most merciful” f) (i) Yajurveda, Chapter 40, Verse 160 It is mentioned in Yajurveda, Chapter 40, Verse 16 “Lead us to the good path and remove the sin that makes us stray and wonder” “By goodly path lead us to riches, Agni, thou God who knowest all our works and wisdom. Remove the sin that makes us astray and wander: most ample adoration will we bring thee” (The Yajurveda Samhiti by Ralph T.H Griffith Page 541) f) (ii) Surah Fateha, Chapter 1, Verse 6 and 7 Similar message is given in Surah Fateha, Chapter 1, Verse 6 and 7 “Show us the straight way, the way of those on whom thou has bestowed thy grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath. And who go not astray”. g) Rigveda, Book No VI, Hymn 45, Verse 16 It is mentioned in Rigveda, Book VI, Hymn 45, Verse 16 “Ya eka ittamushtuhi” “Praize Him who is the matchless and alone.” (Hymns of Rigveda by Ralph T.H.
