Throughout human existence, people have wondered over the meaning of their lives. As we have learned in previous lessons, humans are a creation of God who are given the chance in the testing ground of life to accept or reject him. But who is god? What is he? How do we understand the one who has the power to create a billion galaxies with a word? People have often wondered about their Creator. Many have often even been tempted to draw fantastic pictures or make statues, claming that they were God, others have thought that there were many Gods, each with a unique power, running around in the spiritual world and meddling in the affairs of people in this world.

Each Hindu does not have to believe exactly the same things as every other Hindu. Expect that others will have some different belief. This will depend on their background on their education or what they have worked out for themselves. But there are nearly some beliefs that all Hindus accept. Hinduism is commonly perceived as a polytheistic religion, but some Hindus world attest to this, by professing beliefs in multiple Gods. This is not the only belief some Hindus only believe in three Gods whereas some Hindus believe in thousands of Gods, some Hindus believe in the thirty-three crore which is referred to as 330 million gods. Some Hindus believe that all Hindus should only believe in one God these are the ones that are well versed in their scriptures and well educated.

One of the most basic and important belief in Islam is Tawhid, which is the belief in one God. The name of the Muslim God is Allah and it means one God.

One major difference between both Hindu and Muslims perception of God is the common Hindus believe in the philosophy of pantheism. Pantheism which states that everything weather living or non-living is to be divine and sacred’ as a result of this Hindus consider everything to be God for example they have monkey god or they have snake gods and even some are human gods as begins as manifestations of god.

Islam on the other hand exhorts man as thinking to consider himself and every thing else around him as divine creations rather than divinity itself. As a result Muslims believe that every thing is Gods for example the tree are Gods the sun, stars all belong to God human beings even belong to god not only that but the whole universe belongs to god.

To be a Muslim, you have to think about the vital question which is that is there or is there not a god? Is either that god exist or that he does not exist, and many people tent to pass their life’s without thinking what is the point in existing, what are the aims in life and so on. They think that there is nothing beyond the universe, and most people live there life’s in happiness until it all stops at death. Muslims believe that nothing comes in to existence with out a reason and without a creator, ...
