Buddha was silent about the existence or non-existence of God. It may be
that since India was drowned in idol worship and anthropomorphism that a
sudden step to monotheism would have been drastic and hence Buddha may
have chosen to remain silent on the issue of God.
He did not deny the existence of God. Buddha was once asked by a
disciple whether God exists? He refused to reply. When pressed, he said
that if you are suffering from a stomach ache would you concentrate on
relieving the pain or studying the prescription of the physician. "It is
not my business or yours to find out whether there is God – our
business is to remove the sufferings of the world".
Buddhism provided Dhamma or the 'impersonal law' in place of God.
However this could not satisfy the craving of human beings and the
religion of self-help had to be converted into a religion of promise and
hope. The Hinayana sect could not hold out any promise of external help
to the people. The Mahayana sect taught that Buddha's watchful and
compassionate eyes are on all miserable beings, thus making a God out of
Buddha. Many scholars consider the evolution of God within Buddhism as
an effect of Hinduism.
Many Buddhists adopted the local god and thus the religion of
'No-God' was transformed into the religion of 'Many-Gods' – big and
small, strong and weak and male and female. The 'Man-God' appears on
earth in human form and incarnates from time to time. Buddha was against
the caste-system prevalent in the Hindu society.

Noble Quran is last revelation from our Creator and last divine book
will remain sole guide for humanity. The matchless style of the Qur'an
and the superior wisdom in it are definite evidence that is the word of
the Creator. In addition, the Qur'an has many miraculous attributes
proving that it is revelation from the Creator. One of these attributes
is the fact that a number of scientific truths that we have only been
able to uncover by the technology century were stated in the Qur'an
1,400 years ago. In the Qur'an, along with prayers, commands,
prohibitions and high moral standards, our Creator communicates many
secrets to mankind. These are truly important secrets, and an attentive
eye can witness these throughout his life. No other source than the
Qur'an holds these secrets. The Qur'an is the unique source of secrets
that those people, no matter how intelligent, literate or astute they
are, could never hope to find anywhere else. |
