Introduction<\/em><\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of this article is to present an unbiased layman view of religions as of today. Majority of us fail to understand the apparent confusion of so many religions, all seemingly claiming to be best. Religion has become the prime pretext for all the violence, terrorism, fights and havoc all around the world. Religion seems to be the primary theme governing the world politics and society, yet most of us do not know what exactly it is all about. Most of us simply know the names of major religions \u2013\u00a0Hinduism<\/strong>, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Bahai etc and keep hearing how basically all teach the same good things and how all religions are equal. We also keep hearing lot of irrational stuff from all religions and hence tend to believe somewhere deep inside that it should not be taken so seriously.<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Response:<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

How much biased Agniveer is, is quite apparent if one goes completely through his articles.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

This portion of Agniveer is very well answered in the First Part of this article :<\/span><\/a><\/span>http:\/\/www.systemoflife.com\/answering-islamophobes\/agniveer\/224-religion-demystified-part-1-demystifying-religion-in-true-sense<\/span><\/a> and Insha’allah all the hypothesis written here by Agniveer will be answered.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Agniveer writes about Islam:<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Religions of Visionaries<\/em><\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The other extreme is the cult of the ‘visionaries’ who see bit too much for normal people like you and me to appreciate and cross-verify even a small sample set of their ‘visions’.<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the foundation of all Arabic religions like Judaism, Christianity or Islam. They are claimed to be founded by their respective Prophet(s) who saw things we could not see and told people what they should do to enjoy life after death and save themselves from troubles after death. Arab is a desert area that is known for mirage and hence it becomes confusing at times to ascertain if the prophets of these Arabic religions were having visions or mirage.<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Response:<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Agniveer again shows his biasness and ignorance by claiming that Islam has been founded by a Prophet who saw things we could not see.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The religion of Islam is the Religion which our God chose for us. No prophet founded it. It existed since time immemorial as is apparent from the First Part of this article: <\/span>http:\/\/www.systemoflife.com\/answering-islamophobes\/agniveer\/224-religion-demystified-part-1-demystifying-religion-in-true-sense<\/span><\/a>

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Well as regards to Prophets having mirage, then Agniveer should be well aware that ‘mirage is caused due to Reflection produced by bending of light rays coming from an already present object’. A mirage is a naturally occurring optical phenomenon in which light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky. <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Mirage is different from illusions. Things seen in Mirage do really exist, though not at that place but somewhere near that place, the reflection of which is seen as mirage. If that thing does not exist, then it’s mirage is not possible. Mirages are not illusions.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

So Agniveer wanted to prove by referring to Prophets having mirage that the Prophets description about miracles, Hell, heaven etc were ‘mirage’ which Agniveer thought were illusions and not true.\u00a0 But unfortunately, even if it was mirage (which is not the true case) then also the revelations and phenomenon and miracles were true, because mirage occurs only if that thing is present in reality.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Agniveer disagrees with:<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Following are the salient beliefs of these religions:<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

a. There is one God\/Allah\/Jehovah who created this world in 6\/7\/8 etc days and himself sits on some throne on 4th sky\/ 7th sky\/ Heaven etc.<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

b. We all are created by this God<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Response:<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes there is only One God who is our creator and the only one worthy to be thanked and worshipped.<\/span> (See the Qur’an Chapter 112 verse 1-4<\/strong>)<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The Qur’an mentions in several places that Allah created the heavens and the earth in six<\/span> “ayam” (aeons) and then Istawa (rose over) the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). One such verse is:<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The Qur’an Surah Hadid Chapter 57 verse 4<\/strong>:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six “ayam” (aeons) and then Istawa (rose over) the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). He knows what goes into the earth and what comes forth from it, what descends from the heaven and what ascends thereto. And He is with you (by His Knowledge) wheresoever you may be. And Allah is the All-Seer of what you do.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The correct meaning in this verse is<\/span> “aeons” for the Arabic term<\/span> “ayam,” which shows that heavens where created in 6 aeons, 6 long periods of time. Science does not contradict this at all, due to the fact there Science says it COULD have been created in 6 aeons.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Allah is above the throne as<\/span>
\nSurah Hadid 57:4<\/strong>
\nsays, and it also symbolic that he has authority and rose over the throne, the throne of authority, signifying that he is the One and only creator of everything. Allah is LITERALLY above the throne, which no-one can imagine or see and which is nothing like us.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Agniveer disagrees with Islamic concept that:<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

c. We all are being tested by the God.<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Response:<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Kindly Note:<\/strong>
\nIn the Article<\/span> ‘Understanding Vedic God<\/span><\/a>‘ , Agniveer writes under the heading <\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

———————————————————————<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Should we worship Ishwar or not? Why? After all He never forgives!<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

A: Ishwar should be worshipped and He alone should be worshipped.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

It is true that by worship of Ishwar, you will not receive any shortcut pass certificate when you have actually failed. Only lazy and cheaters desire such unscrupulous means to success.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

———————————————————————<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Just see and read the phrase “will not receive any shortcut pass certificate when you have actually failed.” Just ask yourself, will you get a pass certificate or will you fail without undergoing or giving any Test?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
