ईसाई और इस्लाम धर्म से पूर्व बौद्ध धर्म की उत्पत्ति हुई थी। उक्त दोनों धर्म के बाद यह दुनिया का तीसरा सबसे बड़ा धर्म है। इस धर्म को मानने वाले ज्यादातर चीन, जापान, कोरिया, थाईलैंड, कंबोडिया, श्रीलंका, नेपाल, भूटान और भारत आदि देशों में रहते हैं।

गुप्तकाल में यह धर्म यूनान, अफगानिस्तान और अरब के कई हिस्सों में फैल गया था किंतु ईसाई और इस्लाम के प्रभाव के चलते इस धर्म को मानने वाले लोग उक्त इलाकों में अब नहीं के बराबर ही है।

In the pavement of Islamic faith, there is a place joining the earthly life to an afterlife; this place is called Barzakh. This term is derived from Arabic word meaning a barrier or partition separating two things. In Islamic theology, it implies an intermediate state where souls dwell after leaving the realm of living but before the Day of Judgment. The objective of this paper is to explore Barzakh within Islamic belief by investigating its importance, essence and consequences for the soul’s path after death.

Understanding Barzakh:Barzakh holds a significant position in Islamic eschatology which refers to the field of study on end times and life after death. After someone dies, according to Islam teachings their soul moves through various stages until the day judgement comes. In fact, Barzakh happens to be one phase whereby souls are in a stage of transition.

The Nature of Barzakh: This is an area that human beings cannot see therefore describing its nature becomes a complex task. Islamic holy books tend only to mention this space, giving little details about it hence many questions arise due to too much interpretation and thinking about it while scholars and theologians have tried offering solutions based on some Quranic verses, Hadiths (Prophet Muhammad sayings) as well as philosophical reasoning.

Kshatriyas, who were the warrior and ruling class in the Indian feudal system, have been given a very significant status. It is not only power and government that they exercise but they do it according to dharma principles (righteousness). Righteousness being the basis for their duties shows that ethicality is connected with responsibility within this society. This paper will examine how ethics, duty and social order are related through understanding what should be done by Kshatriyas according to righteousness or dharma as described in ancient Hindu texts.

Dharma forms an essential part of both Indian philosophy and structure of society. It represents moral obligations which every person has towards others depending on his/her position in life or occupation chosen. In olden days there were four castes namely Brahmin (priestly class), Kshatriya(warrior/ruler class), Vaishya(merchant/farmer class) and Shudra (servant/worker class). Each caste had its specific rights & duties under Dharma law system prevailing during those times.The present essay seeks to explain how these principles influenced behavior patterns of kingship among Kshatriyas as protectors guided by morality grounded on justice or fairness.

As climate change, pollution, and resource depletion continue to be some of the planet’s biggest challenges, sustainability has become a global concern. Faith-based organizations like gurdwaras can help advocate for environmental stewardship. Gurdwaras as places of worship for Sikhs should practice what they preach by embracing strategies such as energy conservation, waste disposal methods, and water collection that preserves the environment. The above piece explores how Sikh sustainable practices and operations in Gurdwaras tally with religious standards.

Environmental Stewardship according to Sikh TeachingsFrom his inception in the 15th century, Guru Nanak’s Sikhism has always propagated living harmoniously with nature. Sikhism’s core tenets such as “Naam Japna” (remembering God), “Kirat Karni” (honest living), and “Vand Chakna” (sharing with others) are based on maintaining a balanced and ethical lifestyle. Furthermore, according to Guru Nanak’s teachings, it is important to respect all creation since the environment is God-made.

In their holy book Guru Granth Sahib, Sikhs frequently eulogize nature while calling upon humanity to protect it. One example of this is found in one of his hymns where he says that air is principles while water along with earth are parents.
