UNIQUENESS OF EACH RELIGION

INTRODUCTION:

  Nowadays religions have become a trillion dollar market. The number of  people who are fighting  for their religion is much greater  than the number of people  who actually follows it. However, those who strictly follow their religions won’t  fight with others.  There are lot of debates going on around the world, scholars of each religion arguing with others to prove their superiority.  The preachers of respective religion keep looking  for the weak souls, those are susceptible and easily get converted. Poverty, ignorance of  people has given perfect chance for  the preachers to make those people to embrace their religion. You can find that  the  real motive of many religious people  are to attract as many people to their religion as they can but hardly follow their religion by themselves. But still how can so many religions able to have considerable number of followers despite such arguments,debates and conversion?  A religion when gains some number of  followers from one end and loses some from other end,  That is because each faith has its own specialty or uniqueness.

      Here I shared some of them.

UNIQUENESS OF HINDUISM:

      Hinduism(sanatana dharma or eternal law) is one of the oldest living religion, Followers are called as Hindus.

      Hinduism says that Every living and non living thing is a part of supreme god ”parabrahman”, all (living and non living things) are equal. No one is superior over another. Universe has no starting or ending but undergoes  repeated cycles of creation and destruction. The universe is ever changing.  Similarly All living things undergoes repeated cycles of birth and death. Attaining  “Moksha” or free from the cycle of life&death and becoming oneness with god is the goal. It believes in Karma ( the present situation is the result of deeds done in the past) .

     Hinduism is the only religion which encourages its followers to select their own  path of worship whichever they like, amongst the various number of paths(like karma yoga, bhakthi  yoga etc.,) it suggests.  It acknowledges all religions as different paths to god.

UNIQUENESS OF JUDAISM:

     JUDAISM is one of the oldest living Faiths. Followers are called as Jews. They believe in a  God called “YAHOWAH”

      Judaism is the only religion to believe in social realization i.e., if god wants to convey his message for the people he will do it publically for all the people rather  than to a single person.

UNIQUENESS OF CHRISTIANITY:

      Followers of Lord jesus Christ and his teachings are called Christians.

    Christianity is the only religion where god comes to the earth as a savior(LORD JESUS) of the people. He underwent various difficulties and spilled(spilt) his blood for the sins of the people(people had done, doing ,will  do in future).Thus People by following his path and keeping faith on him(LORD JESUS)  shall be free from their sins and attains heaven after their death.

UNIQUENESS OF ISLAM:

     Islam acknowledges all the prophets of Judaism and Jesus Christ (Isa in Islam). It believes that all religions were given by god but got corrupted.  Prophet Muhammed(PBUH) is the last prophet sent by god and holy quran is the true message of god(ALLAH). Followers  of  Islam (submission in english) are called as Muslims.

    Islam is the only tradition where people are called for prayers. Muslims pray atleast 5 times a day facing in the direction of their holy place “MECCA”. Men  gives dowry for women at the time of their marriage  rather than the other way around(usually woman gives dowry to man in many traditions).

UNIQUENESS OF BUDDISM:

   Followers of  the teaching of His Holiness Sidhartha Gautama or Buddha(“the enlightened one”) are called Buddists.

   Buddism is the only religion that do not accept any creator god. It emphasizes reaching enlightenment is the only way to get freed from the repeated cycles of life and death("Nirvana"). It do not accept the presence of heaven and hell.

   

CONCLUSION:

       Thinking of people and their tastes differ  from each other.  So, each religion will have some followers provided they are not forced to convert by others.
