ConceptOfGod in MajorReligions

The book of "Concept of God in Major Religions" in the world by Sheik Zakir Naik

One of the distinguishing features of our civilisation is the presence of a large number of religions and ethical systems. Mankind has always sought to understand the reason for creation and his own place in the scheme of things.

Arnold Toynbee studied the history of man through the ages and put his findings in a monumental work consisting of ten volumes. He summarized that in the history of man, religion stood as the center. In an article in The Observer on October 24, 1954 he wrote:

“I have come back a the belief that religion holds the key to the mystery of existence;”

Religion according to the Oxford dictionary means “belief in a superhuman controlling power especially in a personal God or gods entitled to obedience and worship”.

A common feature of all major religions is the belief in a Universal God or Supreme Divine Authority that is Omnipotent and Omniscient. Followers of all major religions believe that the God they worship is the same God for them as well as for others.

The author discussed the concept of God in those major religions in the world by making references to their various scriptures like; Bhagwad Geeta, Upanishads and Vedas among the Hindu's scripture and Avesta among the Zoroastrianism scriptures and so on.

We ask God the Almighty to make this work among the author's good deeds to heaven.
