Comparison of philosophical and religious perspectives on similar scriptures between the quran and the bhagavad gita



Author(s): Melih Sezer, T Krishna Rao Thumma

Abstract:

Islam and Hinduism are belief systems that can find a place for themselves today as two-sided and multi-follower belief systems. It is not possible for those who hear the idea that two religions, which are perceived as two different beliefs in the world, can meet at the same points. The reason for this is that Islam is a monotheistic belief system, and the idea that God is formless and not in any pattern is very effective. Hinduism comes from a polytheistic understanding in appearance. The exact number of gods is not known.

Hinduism is considered one of the oldest religions on earth. The holy books are very important in terms of guiding and performing religious rituals correctly and transferring them to future generations. Religions with holy books have taken great strides towards universalization. However, religions without scriptures or without scriptures remained local, and their followers remained in limited numbers. The history of Hinduism dates back to the years before Christ. Like all scriptures, the Qur'an and the Bhagavat give examples from the past, warning their followers of the dangers they may face in the future. The main reason for the existence of religions in the history of humanity is the moral disorders that have emerged in societies. The purpose of the existence of religions is to keep societies within moral limits. The Qur'an and Bhagavat Gita warn and give advice to their followers by talking about the wars, lifestyles, and causes of extinction of past societies. Every religion has its own style of writing and addressing. The Quran is in Arabic, and the Gita is written in Sanskrit. The Qur'an was made into a book during the reign of Caliph Abu Bakr. The translation of the Gita into a book was made possible by the Rishis' continuing their oral traditions. The Rishis continued their prophetic duties in Islam and in Hinduism. It is important for the religion-society relationship that the Qur'an and Gita meet at the same points and show similar characteristics.
