God’s Religions & Similarities Between Them
Religions from God
God Almighty, revealed the religion to the entire mankind through his prophets who lived in different ages, in different parts of the world and in different societies, right from the period of creation of the first man Adam who is the first prophet until Muhammad who is the last prophet.
The existing religions such as Hinduism/Vedism, Zoroastrianism/Mazdayasni, Taoism, Judaism, Islam are the ones revealed by and originated from God who is one and only one. Jainism, Budhism and Christianity are not separate religions. When Jainism and Budhism are a part of Hinduism, Christianity is a part of Judaism. This is because Mahaveer, Gautama Buddha or Jesus were not sent by God to institute a new religion separate from the religions that had been revealed long before them and were in practice at their time ie Hinduism and Judaism. But God sent them to preach the morals, impart wisdom to peoples and to dispel man-made traditions that had gone against God-revealed religions.
Similarities Between God’s Religions
As Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Taoism, Judaism and Islam had originated from one and the same source who is God Almighty, these religions are closely inter-related and have many common beliefs, rituals, worship, rules, laws, morals, and wisdom. The reason for the similarities is that God’s law is universal and as such his religion is universal too. Some people think that the similarities between religions are due to one religion borrowing beliefs and philosophies from other religion(s) and vice versa. But they are mistaken and have failed to notice or hardened their hearts to refuse to believe that the author of these religions is one God and hence the similarities.
One Religion
Worship (Yajna/Yasna/Salat), other rituals, laws, morals, knowledge, wisdom and many other teachings found in Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Taoism, Judaism, and Islam are fundamentally same and corroborate each other. Hence these religions are like several branches in a tree and these form part of, and constitute basically ONE RELIGION of God Almighty.
