so what is the hindu way of life based on? islam is the way of life based on submitting oneself to the CREATOR. GOD, plain and simple. and to do that we follow what HE revealed. and what he revealed says this is the culmination of all his revelations. what you dont understand is all the other faiths before islam were meant for specific groups of people. people in different places. ALLAH revealed those but here ALLAH decides to unify all people, black red blue yellow under one faith. islam is meant for all people it is global. it has nothing to do with local cultures. so its being up to date. if i value what ALLAH says i have to see what he said in the latest, dont i. this is islam.

according to you, hinduism welcomes all faiths. so what is the faith of hinduism itself. all faiths are intact in themselves and go a certain way. we dont dictate the scriptures. does the veda say it is here for all time? does it not order the indus people to wait for further instructions? if it does, what are u still doing clinging to it?

and does your veda not say that god is only one? and worship belongs to him alone? its quite similar to what muslims believe. in essence, muslims are better vedantists than hindus themselves because we have the essence of those scriptures. worship none but god. does the veda not say that when you worship created objects you stray, and when you worship objects created by the ccreation (tables, chairs, idols) you stra even more?so if u decide to make a way of life based on your wishful thinking alone, its your problem. muslims believe in taking orders only fom god himself.
