Introduction to Confucianism
Confucianism

There are a number of striking similarities between Islam and Confucianism, both in ideals and historical experience. For example, through the Hadith of the Prophet (s.a.w.) is similar in structure to the Analects, in that they lay the framework to incorporate ethics and morality from the public sphere. In other words, the Islamic argument against secularism, that is, the separation of politics and other societal concerns from religion and morality, is not dissimilar to the Confucian perspective presented by the pre-eminent Modern Neo-confucian (當代新儒學) scholar Tu Wei-ming (杜維明) in his book Way, Learning and Politics. Similar attempts at reconciling the Confucian and Islamic worldviews a Qing dynasty Islamic scholar, Ma Dexin (馬德新), who also wrote the first Chinese translation of the Quran, and Liu Zhi (劉智) an earlier Islamic scholar from Nanjing.The endless quest for knowledge is the mark of a "superior man" in Confucianism. In the context of the Muslim consciousness, the search for knowledge and the quest for greater understanding in a diverse world is sanctioned by no less than a Quranic imperative: "Oh mankind! Verily we have created you all from a male and a female, and have made you into nations and tribes that you may come to know one another."
Filial piety is a central concept in Confucianism. Confucius said: "[Filial piety is] that parents, when alive, be served according to propriety; that, when dead, they should be buried according to propriety". And the Holy Quran states: "And We have enjoined on man (to be good) to his parents: in travail upon travail did his mother bear him, and in years twain was his weaning: (hear the command), "Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents: to Me is (thy final) Goal." (Qur'an 031.014).
These are a few examples. I certainly am not insinuating that Confucianism and Islam are the same. Indeed, there are many differences. However, both posess a highly Traditional Weltanschauung, so the relationship between the two is well-worth investigating from its many facets.

Introduction to Hindusim
Hindusim
Say: "O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah." If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will).
Similarly, the best and the most appropriate method of understanding Hinduism is to understand the authentic sources i.e. the sacred scriptures of Hinduism. The most sacred and authentic Scriptures of Hinduism are the Vedas, followed by the Upanishads, the Itihaas, Bhagvad Gita, Puranas, etc.
Let us understand these two major religions of the world, i.e. Islam and Hinduism, by studying and analyzing the authentic Scriptures of these two major religions of the world.

What is the purpose of Life
Welcome to PurposeOfTheLife.com
The Man's Purpose in Life
Many people live their lives without ever reflecting on life itself or its meaning for them. Their lives may be full of activities. They may marry, have children, run a business, or become scientists or musicians, without ever obtaining any degree of understanding of why they do these things. Their lives have no overall purpose to give meaning to separate events, and they may have no clear idea of their own nature or identity, of who they really are.
The Creator has taught what is only give purpose to human existence. If there were no Creator, if humans were simply chance products of a thermodynamic system, as many in the world today assert, there would be no purpose in life. Each individual human being would represent the temporary material existence of a conscious animal trying to move through his or her brief life with as much pleasure and as little pain and suffering as possible.
It is only in relation to the Creator, and the purpose which that Creator has fixed for His creatures, that human existence has any meaning. described Creator's purpose for man in the following way:
The purpose of God in creating man hath been, and will ever be, to enable him to know his Creator and to attain His Presence. To this most excellent aim, this supreme objective, all the heavenly Books and the divinely-revealed and weighty Scriptures unequivocally bear witness.
"And We did not create the heaven and the earth and whatever is between them as a game. If We wished to take a pastime, We would have taken it by Ourselves, if We were to do that at all"
(Qur'an - 21:16-17)
"Do you think that We created you for nothing and that you will not be returned to Us? The true Sovereign is too exalted above that"
(Qur'an - 23:115-116)
