1. The Origin of Sikhism: The Oneness Vision of Guru Nanak The founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak, set out on a spiritual quest in the fifteenth century that resulted in the establishment of a new way of life. The idea of oneness—oneness with the divine, oneness with people, and oneness with nature—lies at the core of Sikhism. The teachings of Guru Nanak uphold the equality of all people, regardless of gender, caste, or creed, and they inspire a revolutionary spirit of acceptance and inclusivity.

पारसी धर्म (Parsi religion) का विवरण देने के लिए, पहले हमें यह समझना जरूरी है कि पारसी धर्म क्या है। पारसी धर्म, जो जरूरी रूप से जरोस्ट्रियन धर्म के रूप में भी जाना जाता है, पुराने ईरानी धर्म को आधार मानता है। यह धर्म विश्वास करता है कि मानव जीवन की धार्मिकता और नैतिकता को बनाए रखने के लिए अच्छाई को प्रोत्साहित करना चाहिए और बुराई से लड़ना चाहिए।

Temples are central to Hindu rituals and they are sacred structures as well as divine abodes and spiritual practice centers. Although India remains at its core, there are Hindu temples in different parts of the world each reflecting distinct architectural styles, religious practices, and cultural influences. In this comprehensive exploration, we go on a journey to discover Hindu temples around the globe while delving into their rich history, spiritual significance, and lasting legacy within Hinduism.

Hindu Temples in Southeast Asia: Apart from India, Southeast Asia is home to some of the most famous Hindu temples in the world that serve as reminders of its ancient links with Hinduism. In Cambodia for example stands Angkor Wat; an exquisitely domineering building dedicated to Lord Vishnu during the Khmer Empire era centuries ago. The structure is an iconic UNESCO World Heritage site built in the 12th century and known for its magnificent architecture as well as complex bas-reliefs depicting stories from ancient Indian mythology.

Java, one of the thousands of Islands in Indonesia has a grand Prambanan Temple complex which is dedicated to the Trimurti – Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. The towering spires and intricate carvings of Prambanan make it an architectural marvel of Hinduism where visitors from across the globe come to behold its beauty and historical value.

Another famous Hindu temple in Southeast Asia is the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok, Thailand which is dedicated to the God, Brahma. Amidst the city’s cacophony, worshippers gather at this shrine for praying purposes as well as seeking blessings for success in their businesses.

To its followers, Islam presents contemporary challenges that need thorough insight and interaction with the present world. The Muslim community is confronted by a range of arguments and dilemmas as it tries to make sense of modernity, secularism, religious pluralism, or social justice. This paper will therefore comprehensively examine these issues to understand how they affect the Islamic faith, identity, and practice.

Modernity and Tradition:Currently, there is one major dilemma facing Islam; it is the ongoing tussle between tradition and modernity. As societies swiftly change because of technology improvements, globalization effects, and shifting cultural considerations; Muslims are faced with the question of how best they can incorporate Islamic teachings into their lives while at the same time meeting the needs of a changing world. Some people are advocating for a progressive interpretation of Islamic principles that takes into account the reality of modern times whereas others argue for the preservation of traditional values. Consequently, we see this tension manifesting in various aspects which include gender roles in society, family dynamics, and approaches to governance and law.
