Allah' Says: Whosoever kills an innocent human being, it shall be as if he has killed all mankind, and whosoever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. (5:32)
Prophet Mohammed(s) Said "By God, he is not a true believer,
from whose mischief his neighbors do not feel secure." (Bukhari, Muslim)
Religions of the world can be broadly categorized into Semitic religions and non-Semitic religions. Non-Semitic religions can be divided into Aryan religions and non-Aryan religions. SEMITIC RELIGIONS:
Semitic religions are religions followed by the Semites. According to the Bible, Prophet Noah (pbuh) had a son called Shem. The descendents of Shem are known as semites. Therefore, Semitics religions are the religions that originated among the Jews, Arabs, Assyrians and Phoenicians. Major among religions are Judaism, Christianity and Islam. All these religions believe in Divine Guidance sent through prophets of God. In the real sense of the term though, Islam is a universal religion, the religion of all the prophets and messengers of the One God and not just a Semitic religion. NON-SEMITIC RELIGIONS:
The non-Semitic religions are further subdivided into Aryans and non-Aryans religions.
ARYAN RELIGIONS:
Aryan religions are the religions followed by the Aryans, a powerful group of Indo-European speaking people that spread through Iran and Northern India in the first half of the second Millennium BC(2000 to 1500 BC).
The Aryan Religions are further sub divided in to 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.
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.
