Semitic religions

Semitic religions are religions that originated among the Semites. According to the Bible, Prophet Noah (pbuh) had a son called Shem. The descendents of Shem are known as Semites. Therefore, Semitic religions are the religions that originated among the jews, Arabs, Assyrians, Phoenicians, etc. Major Semitic religions are Prophetic religions that believe in Divine Guidance sent through prophets of God.

Non-Semitic religions

The non-Semitic religions are further subdivided into Aryan and non-Aryan religions:

Aryan Religions

Aryan religions are the religions that originated among the Aryans, a powerful group of indo-European speaking people that spread through Iran and Northern india in the firs half of the second Millennium BC (2000 to 1500 BC)
The Aryan Religions are further subdivided into Vedic  and  non-Vedic  religions. The Vedic religion is given the misnomer of Hinduism or Brahmanism. The non-Vedic Religions are Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, etc. Almost all Aryan religions are non-Prophetic religions.
Zoroastrianism is an Aryan,  non-vedic religion, which is not associated with Hinduism. It claims to be a prophetic religion.

Non-Aryan Religions

The non-Aryan religions have diverse origins. Confucianism and Taoism are of Chinese origin while Shintoism is  of Japanese origin. Many of these non-Aryan religions do not have a concept of God. They are better referred to as ethical systems rather than as religions.


Most Authentic Definition of God in any Religion

The concept of  God espoused by a religion cannot be judged by merely observing the practice of its followers. It is quite common for the followers of many religions to be ignorant of the concept of God in their scriptures. It is therefore better to analyse the concept of god in any religion by referring to its holy scriptures. 
Let us understand the concept of God in major world religions by analysing what their scriptures have to say abou it.

Is Islamic slaughtering cruel to animals?

Islam's stance on what is permissible to eat and what is not is clear. There are strict rules when it comes to meat regarding what is allowed and what is forbidden. In Surat Al-Maida (The Table) Allah says: "Forbidden to you (for food) are: AI-Maytatah (the dead animals -cattle-beasts not slaughtered), blood, the flesh of swine, and the meat of that which has been slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah or has been slaughtered for idols etc, or on which Allah's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering and that which has been killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a headlong fall or by the goring of horns - and that which has been (partly) eaten by a wild animal - unless you are able to slaughter it(before its death) and that which is sacrificed (slaughtered) on AnNusub (stone altars). [Forbidden] also is to use arrows seeking luck or decision, [all] that is Fisqun (disobedience of Allah and sin). This day, those who disbelieved have given up all

The Slogan of Women's Freedom

  کوئی بھی بات اچھی ہے یا بری اُسے جاننے کے لیے اُس بات کی حقیقت کواوراُن کے   نتائج کو مدِّنظر رکھنا بہت ضروری ہے۔شیطان یا شیطان صفت لوگ یا اہلِ شر اور فسادی قسم کے لوگ ،یہ کبھی بھی ہمارے پاس آکر برملا ہم سے یہ نہیں کہیں گےکہ آپ زنا کریں، آپ چوری  کیا کریں یا آپ شراب پیا کریں ۔لیکن وہ راستے ہمارے لیے ضرور آسان کرتے ہیں کہ جن راستوں سے ہم اس زنا اور شراب خوری تک پہنچ سکیں۔  مثال کے طو ر پر عورت کا بازار میں بے پردہ ہو کر جانا ،اس میں کیا حرج ہے؟ عورت کو آپ نے گھر میں کیوں قید کر رکھا ہے ؟عورت اور مرد کا شانہ بشانہ چلنا، عورت کا مرد کے ساتھ دنیا کے کاموں میں شریک ہونا ،جوکہ ایک بہت خوبصورت جھانسا ہے جوعورت کو دیا جاتا ہے کہ مرد اور عورت کو ایک ساتھ بیٹھنے میں کیا مضائقہ ہے ۔بلکہ اگر مرد اور عورت ایک ساتھ بیٹھتے ہیں تو اس میں تو ایک دوسرے کے حوالے سے ان دونوں کےدرمیان  نفسیاتی طور پر تجسس ہی ختم ہو جائے گا۔اگر آپ مرد اور عورت کو علیحدہ کر دیں گے توعورتیں ایک طرف ہوں اور مرد ایک طرف ہوں  تو نفسیاتی طور پر تجسس پیدا ہوتا ہے خیالات ایک دوسرے کی طرف جاتے ہیں جو کے ایک بہت خوبصورت جھانسہ ہے
