Some people view other religions as mere offshoots or pseudo-religions when compared to Hinduism. Today, I will give you my conclusion, drawn from various Puranic and Tantric narratives (though not explicitly stated in any single Purana), regarding the origin of Islam, its object of worship, and its connection to Sanatana Dharma. I will address questions such as why Islam prohibits idolatry and alcohol, and why some Muslims become radical.
Sanatana Dharma is the sole religion originating from Shiva's will and destined to endure. Hindus who criticize Allah are, in fact, criticizing Parabrahma. Lord Shiva permits the existence of all other religions in the world.
What is Islam, and who is Allah?
Islam, in essence, is the worship of Parabrahma. The deity Muslims call Allah is our own four-headed Lord Brahma in his nirguna (formless) aspect.
According to a Tantra, Lord Shiva told Parvati that only Vamacharis and sanyasis are permitted to worship the male deity alone. A Devata without Prakriti (Shakti) is considered Nirguna, which aligns with the Quran's description of Allah as formless and bodiless. Some Tantras also describe direct methods of worshipping this formless Parabrahma. Thus, Allah is without a doubt that Parabrahma.
Why do Muslims destroy idols or become radical?
This is because they are daityas who have attained human form. In reality, the human body (manushya yoni) is merely a vessel for the soul. Consequently, we carry traits from our last yoni. Just as someone who was a bird or animal in his last yoni retains certain characteristics, demons also take human birth. The Padma Purana states that Satyuga was devoid of demons, Treta had few, Dwapara had more, and Kali Yuga would be filled with daityas – a situation that parallels the rise of Islam.
This pattern of destroying temples and killing Brahmins, which surprises Hindus as being a sign of Kali Yuga, has persisted for innumerable Kalpas. Stories of daityas receiving boons from Brahma and Shiva and then battling devatas in Swarga are common. The Ramayana recounts how Rama killed countless demons attacking rishis and disrupting yagyas. Destroying idols and yagyas, and killing Brahmanas and rishis, is not a new phenomenon. Daityas are the adversaries of devatas like Indra, Varuna, Agni, Surya, and Chandra. Not Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
The distinction between a danava and a manava lies not in belief in God. A danava may perform tapasya as intensely as a rishi, but their behavior defines them.
Who were the pagan idols destroyed in Mecca?
One was Hubal, the god of rain and a warrior. You know what this god in called in Sanatana Dharma.
How was Islam formed?
The story of Samudra Manthan, where Vishnu gave amrit to the devatas, is well-known. However, what's unknown is that the daityas received liquor. Seeing the intoxicated demons unable to think clearly and giving away precious things to devatas, Shukracharya cursed Varuni(wine). Brahma too, promptly followed suit, cursing Varuni (liquor). This is why liquor is forbidden in the Vedas, except in acharas above Dakshinachara, and why it is also forbidden in Islam.
I believe this was the point when Brahma and Shukracharya, through divine will, decided to establish their own religion in Kali Yuga, one that would last until the end of time. In Sanatana Dharma, moksha is central. Even the most wicked daityas attained moksha when killed by gods. Therefore, despite being a religion of daityas, moksha remains accessible to them through the worship of Allah.
Likewise, every religion that you see on earth is connected in some way or the other to Sanatana Dharma. Not even a leaf can exist without the permission of Shiva. Let alone a religion with billions of followers.
Through this post, I believe I had addressed everything you'd need to know about Islam through our religion's lens. That is why, do not criticise Allah because when you criticise him, you are criticising your own god.
