Its an undeniable fact that all the religions on this earth claim to be from GOD. Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH), Moses, Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, Baba Nanak and every religious leader taught people to believe and worship GOD.

Although all religions have slight differences in the attributes they ascribe to God, but all the religions hold the common view that there is a God who has created this universe.

History tells us that even those ancient religions that no longer exist in this world, they also held the view of God, whether they were in ancient America, or in jungles of Africa or in England, or in Java or Sumatra, or in Japan and China or in Siberia or in India.

It is an important point that what’s the reason for this thought-provoking unity among so varied religions? In ancient times people were not linked together through any means of communication or transport, then how is it possible that people living in isolation thousands of miles away from each other, held the common view about the existence of God? Many of the lands were even not discovered at that time.

Even now it is difficult for two persons to completely agree on any issue, then how come this universal unanimity regarding the existence of God? All these facts lead us to the only possible conclusion that not only there is a living God but also that God has always manifested Himself through some means to his men to make them believe in Him.

Historians agree that if there is such universal unanimity about any issue then there is no reason to disagree with it. Another fact worth noting is that there have been a small number of atheists all the time, this proves that the ‘existence of God’ is not related to any psychological need of human beings. In this world, one can lead one’s life without acknowledging the existence of God, though he will be attempting to close his eyes to the very obvious and clear truth.
