sacred texts of Hinduism containing the perverted beliefs of the super-
stitious Hindu religion. Hinduism is therefore a “man-made” belief sys-
tem based on the texts of the Aryan warriors who conquered India as op-

posed to Allah’s revelation. With the British occupation of India in 1829
this perverse faith began to be called Hinduism, which is an amalgama-
tion of myth, pagan texts, ancient and primitive traditions, folklore,
rituals and practices. In addition, it is not possible to define it as
a religion based on a single source book, established rules or
a certain founder. Hinduism changes from village to village,
town to town, even from family to family and these differ-
ences prove that it is a “personal, pagan way of life.” The
author of History of Hindu Imperialism, Swami Dharma
Theertha explains:
«Frankly speaking, it is not possible to say definitely who
is a Hindu and what Hinduism is.
These questions have been considered
again and again by eminent scholars,
and so far no satisfactory answer has
been given. Hinduism has within it-
self all types of religions such as the-
ism, atheism, polytheism, Adwitism,
Dwaitism, Saivism, Vaishnavism,

Hindu recluses believe that a
life of hunger, destitution and
pain will lead them to Brahma.
Their state of self-inflicted suf-
fering is an aberration disap-
proved of by Islam. Allah says
in the Qur’an that “He does not
want any injustice for His ser-
vants” (Surah Ghafir: 31)
