COMMONALITIES IN HINDU &MUSLIM

On the surface, it may seem that Islam and Hinduism have nothing in common.

But that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

In fact, there are rich similarities that both religions share.

These similarities are so strong and basic, it’s a wonder that there are any tensions between the two!
Both religions believe that God gave man free will so that he could be responsible for his actions. That God is kind enough to let us choose our path and be responsible for it.

Both religions believe that God has power to execute & enforce his will. It’s mentioned in both the Quran and the Gita that God is the Supreme Being, guiding it according to his/her vision.

Both Islam and Hinduism accept that God loves everyone equally and that he hears prayers. This is a mark of a personal god, one who cares about the universe he created.

Both religions believe in the responsibility of each individual towards others; charity, righteousness, forgiveness, compassion, are considered to be important qualities to develop.

Both religions believe that remembering and reciting names of God and mantras creates an inner connection to the divine. This is why prayer is done 2-4 times a day in Islam, and why Hindus are encouraged to keep the mind connected to spirituality throughout the day.

Both religions advocate non-violence. Both Hinduism and Islam believe killing is a sin unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Islam-Hinduism teach that each individual should be free to make their own beliefs, choosing whatever works for them. It is mentioned in both the Quran and the Gita that God is the Supreme Being, Be it Allah or Krishna, your prayers will never go unheard.

The sacredness of the moon has been connected with the basic rhythms of life and the universe. A widespread phenomenon, appearing in various eras and  cultures, moon  worship  has engendered a rich symbolism  in Hinduism and Islam.

Weddings are stressful, stress causes headaches and fevers. As the wedding approaches, the excitement mixed with nervous anticipation can take its toll on the bride and groom.This is why mehndi is applied on the hands and feet of the bride, which house nerve endings in the body.
