Attributes of God in Hinduism according to Rig Veda – Dr Zakir Naik
RRP-5
And amongst the Vedas the most sacred is RigVed.
Itโs mentioned in Rigved, Volume 1, Hymn 164, Mantra 46
โEkam sat vipra bahudha vadantiโ
โTruth is one, God is one, sages and saintly people call Him by a variety of namesโ
According to Rigved, Almighty God in one, but the learned people call Him by a variety of names and there are no less than 33 different attributes given to Almighty God in Rigved, Book 2, Hymn 1 alone, no less than 33, one amongst these attributes mentioned in Rigved, Book 2, Hymn 1, V. 3 is โBrahmaโ. โBrahmaโ is called as โThe Creator Godโ. If I translate โCreatorโ into Arabic, it means โKhaliqโ. We Muslims have got no objection if someone says Almighty God is Khaliq or Creator or Brahma, but if someone says Brahma is Almighty God who has got four heads and on each head is a crown, he has got four hands, we Muslims take strong objection to it. Moreover, you are going against Shwetashvatara Upanishad Ch. 4, V. 19
โNa tasya pratima astiโ
โOf that God there is no Imageโ
The other attribute given to Almighty God in Rigved, Book 2, Hymn 1, V. 3 is โVishnuโ. Vishnu is called as the Sustainer God. If you translate Sustainer into Arabic, it is somewhat similar to Rabb. We Muslims have got no objection if someone says Almighty God is Rabb or Sustainer or Vishnu, but if someone says Vishnu is Almighty God, who has got four hands, one of His right hands is a disk is the Chakra, the other left hand He has a conch, he is travelling on a bird by the name of Garuda or floating on water, on a bed of snakes. We Muslims take strong objection to it. Moreover, you are going against Yajurved Ch. 32, V. 3
โNa tasya pratima astiโ
โOf that God there is no โpratimaโ.โ Of that God there is no imageโ
Itโs further mentioned in Rigved Book 8, Hymn 1, V. 1
โMa Chidanyadvi Shansataโ
โDo not worship anyone, but one true God, praise Him aloneโ
Itโs mentioned in Rigved Book 6, Hymn 45, Mantra 16
โYa Eka Ittamushtuhiโ
โPraise only one true God, He alone should be praisedโ
And the Brahmasutra, the fundamental creed of Hinduism is
โEkam Brahm, dvitiya naste nen na naste kinchanโ
โBhagwan ek hi hai dusara nahi hai, nahi hain, nahi hai, zara bhi nahin haiโ.
โThere is only one God, not a second one, not at all, not at all, not in the least bit.โ
If you read the Hindu scriptures, you shall understand the concept of God in Hinduism and understand Hinduism in the right perspective.
