Contents ISLAM AND OTHER RELIGIONS: THE SHIA VIEW The Prime Importance of the Individual from the Point of View of Human Nature The Effect of the World View of the Individual upon his Activity ISLAM AND OTHER RELIGIONS: THE SHIA VIEW Islam is based on two realities: the blessed personality of the , who was chosen fourteen lunar centuries ago to deliver God’s message and to be the leader of humankind.

And the Quran, the Book from God which is the Prophet’s enduring miracle and which contains God’s words in the form of intellectual and practical teachings of a universal nature.

These two realities must be considered as one of the most important factors in the development and perfection of human life, or rather, they are the most important factor to have manifested itself over the course of fourteen centuries in the faith and practice of hundreds of millions of men, extending its influence deep into every aspect of their society.

It is true that among the world’s major religions Islam is the youngest and that its followers are fewer in number than the sum of the adherents of other faiths, yet Islam is possessed of certain distinguishing characteristics which set it apart from other religious ways.

For example, if we refer to the sacred books of Hinduism, and in particular, the Veda, we see that the religious teachings presented there are almost exclusively of an ascetic nature and at the same time that they are directed towards a minority of the religion’s followers. Thus, the majority of Hindus are excluded from deriving direct spiritual benefits from these sacred books. Buddhism and also Christianity display Hinduism the same exclusively ascetic outlook in their teachings.

In the case of Christianity, this is obvious from the four Gospels and the other basic religious texts.
