One God Islam

Hindus believe in One God Islam.

Historically, Hinduism has been interpreted as a religion that believes in many gods and goddesses. However, at its very bottom line, it is a religion of one supreme reality-Brahman-who is a formless, attribute less, all-pervading consciousness.

Concept of Brahman


The Absolute Reality: Brahman is the ultimate reality, the foundation of everything that exists and the ground beneath all existence. It cannot be described or even conceived in human terms; not even by subject-object duality or creator-creation duality.

Though it is formless, Brahman does not mean that it cannot take any forms and auras. All these emanations, in one way or another, can be considered to be disparate aspects of the ultimate reality. For just as rainbow assumes disparate colors, yet all coming from one source light, similarly diversified aspects of ultimate reality get alive as Brahman.

Gods in Incarnation: Very high Godly presences are very quiet usual in the religion of Hindus like Shiva, Vishnu, Shakti, Ganesha etcetera that all have been some sort of Manifestations of the Bramh. The godly characters provide the properties and energy.

Henotheism: One more Prism of Vision Through This


Focus on One God: Even if they may have faith in numerous gods, generally, Hindus show their devotion only to one of the gods whom they believe is their Ishta Devata, or the chosen god. Such is called henotheism: strong worship concentrated on one god and yet also belief in, and consciousness of, the reality of other gods.

Way of the Gods: The concentration of a single god leads one on the path of shapelessness by Brahman. The man gets the divinity through love, meditation, and devotion to the chosen god to realize the final culmination of oneness in everything.


Bhagavad Gita: The Ultimate Text

The Bhagavad Gita is one of the main texts of Hinduism in discussing reality and pathways for liberation. One is led into reverence of all things as an examination of selfless action, knowledge, and devotion for perfect union with the divine. It continues further still with a discussion of the fulfillment of duties yet surrender to the will of the divine and to find out and recognize the divine within.


Beyond Monotheism and Polytheism:

The Hindu concept of God is neither monotheistic, which is the worshipping of one god, nor polytheistic, which means the worshipping of many gods. In this sense, it may be considered panentheistic: God, who is at once immanent and transcendent, is simultaneously within everything and outside everything in the cosmos.


Conclusion:

God is, in the first place of multiple appearances and dimensions. Both the two gods depend upon Brahman; it is unbounded, without attributes, and shapeless consciousness, which spreads everywhere in all. This again presents multifaceted, multicolored, and multiplex forms of worship that attest to the wealth of the Hindu tradition.
