Islam and Hinduism

Additional information, do you mean to say that in the doctrine of Hinduism ,their is no concept of hell? I don't think their is any religion without the concept of hell. If your claim is true, then can you please tell me what will be the ultimate destination of criminals and corrupt people who commited bad deeds during their life time according to Hinduism?

If their is no concept of hell in Hinduism ,then why in "Hindi" do Hindus use the word "Narg" and "Swarg".

Please note that the word "Narg" is used for "Hell" and "Swarg" is used for "Paradise or Heaven".

Its been a while since this thread of mine has been picked. Recently, realising the nature of discussion between brothers AhmadJoyia and The One ( from Bharat), I would like to share my thougths on This topic again. 

It seems whenever muslims enter into a dialogue with Indian friends i.e followers of 'Sanatan Dharama' ( meaning, the eternal 'religion' or way of life) sometimes get into a circular arguments.

Since India has a rich tradition of Philosophy, The Indians friends tends to switch quickly between, Speculative Thought ( propounded from Vedas. & Upanishads.), Textual Traditions  and of Course Free Thinking.

We must understand and clarify the bases of our discussion with our Indian friends. It is not enough accept, when some says 'I am a follower of Vedanta'

What is so elitist about Vedanta?

Vedanta today as expounded by some Modern educated hindu reformers is a way of life to spirituality without giving due credibility dogmas and doctrines within the hindu pantheon some what similar to Sufism without Islam. ( i.e the New Age spirituality of 21st century.

For Hindus not matter how educated ( except for the branch of Athesim )they are 'Vedas' are Axiomatic and similarly the Unpanishads are Axiomatically Transcedental. Just like Quran is Axiomatic for Muslims.

In the Hindu world Vedanta is consiederd as one of the important philosophy, which constitutes one of the most popular rationalizations for the act of religious renunciation.

The Vedanta philosophy represented by Shankara and Ramanuja is a textual tradition. What this means specifically is that Vedanta philosopers - though they insist that final proof of anything must be experience- they rely heavily on scriptures such as the Brihad Aranyaka Upanishad, which they take as authoritave ( Even Ramakrishna Maths and Swami Vivekanda wouldn't deny that as reliable source of truth.) hence Vedanta is a Religious philosophy.

Moreover, the whole foundation of Vedanta philosophy rests on the Transcendental claims of the Upanishads, represented by the concept of 'brahman' ( notice the small 'b' and not big 'B'.) the whole language ( i.e Sanskrit) used by Vedantist theologians and philosophers is replete with confusion of Synonyms. Thats the reason, why so many people say we believe in the theory of 'projection' rather than 'creation'. ( Remember it is one thing to read commentaries of Shankara & Ramanuja and other is to let the Vedic text speak for itself)

So for Vedantist when conversing in my humble opnion should get there Epistemology Right because the very claim of being a Vedantist Pesupposes individual's adherence to the Vedic Axiology and  its textual Interpretation. So the Vedas and the Upansihads and the Purans, Gita and all the thinking of the Rishis, Gurus is open to analytical and propostional, Historical  examination just like the Quran and the authencity of Quran and Vedas and Gita must be compared to reach a sound understanding.

 If this post fires interest in people then hopefully we will have more of this later.

Swarg=Heaven

Narak=Hell

Many hindu arnot even aware that there is a concept of swarg and narak in there religion.But it is mentioned in vedas, the most holy book of Hindus.

However, most hidus believe inpuna janam or rebirth.It is mentioned somewhere in Gita.

It, asa matter of fact suffer frm a flaw.The theory of reincarnation or rebirthis that if a human do bad deeds he will be born as animal or insects.While if a animal do good deed in tis life then it will born in the body of higher level.And the most highest level is Man.

Now let me ask u something, today the crime is increeasing or decreasing?Increasing, unaminous decision.And waht about human population?It is also increasing!Flaw!According to the treory of puna janam the population should decrease!!
