Introduction:
The religious books are very much
important to each religions followers. And every one claimed that their God is
unique and supreme than other. Hindu claimed that every one of us are god;
whereas Muslim claimed that we cannot compare God with any one. And Christian
claimed that God is Infinite but personal. How those claimed are similar and
dissimilar with each other? What will happen to human kind after death after
following these religion? This paper will dealt with the above question.
Hindu
Understanding of God:
The gods of Hinduism are the gods which the invading
Aryans worshiped when they entered India.Since
its religious leaders are pictured as content and serene, one might infer that
Hinduism provides the sort of peace and joy that people would have whose God is
acting benevolently on their behalf. This serenity comes from learning to
suppress the desire for happiness by disciplines designed to enable one both to
become detached from this present world and to be indifferent to one’s welfare
in the future.
… Let your mother be a god to you. Let your father
be a god to you. Let your teacher be a god to you. Let your guest be a god to
you…

nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him (Ch. 112:2-5).

is any creature at all like him. He is the eternal creator, incomprehensible,
omnipotent, and sovereign.

being worshipped and obeyed.

Comparison
of the three religion
God
in Muslim:
Allah is a perfect God whose
attribute, beauty, and excellences are so high and exalted that we cannot
compare him with other. In other word no one can comprehend his person with
limited human faculties. And God himself judges the whole world. He has not made
over the dominion of earth and heavens to anybody else. Allah is also the king
who is without a fault or deficiency or blemish.
God
in Hindu:
God is self-realization. If we ignore Maya
than we become one of God.
God in
Christianity:
God is both Infinite and personal. He is infinite in
that he is not subject to any of the limitation of humanity, or creation in
general. He is far better than he has made. But he is also person, he interacts
with us as a person, and we can relate to him as person, which is impossible in
Muslim.
Life
after Death in Muslim:
Almighty God describe the heavenly
blessing that the righteous shall enjoy in the next life as having been kept
secret because, not being like anything in this world, no one knows about them.
Life
after death in Hindu:
Man if he understand the maya than he or
she will be one with Brahman otherwise he or she will be born again according
to his or her previous deeds.
Life
after death in Christianity:
Bible teaches that those who beliefs in
Jesus Christ will have eternal life and fellowship with God and those who does
not than they will be separated from God’s present for eternity in the hell.
Unbelievers will continue in an eternal state of torment. In the other hand
believers will enjoy an eternal fellowship in Christ’s company.
Conclusion:
Hinduism belief that we
are all god if we realize and the world is maya. They belief that after we
become free form the world than if we have done good work than we will enter in
god’s state their we will enjoy the rest of the life but when our good karma
finishes than again we will born in this earth or if we be enlightened than we
will become one with Brahman. Muslim says that Allah is the only one and he has
no son. He cannot be compare with any one. Those who do good work they will go
to paradise.
Christian belief that
God is infinite and personal. He is infinite in that
he is not subject to any of the limitation of humanity, or creation in general.
He is far better than he has made.Those who believe in Jesus Christ will have
fellowship with God but those who don’t they will be separate from the present
of God for eternity.
