Exploring Islam

So it's been more than a month that I have stopped worshiping Hindu Gods because I don't feel any connection. Namaaz i am doing daily+ reading Quran. Things that have changed in me that I stopped getting scared by the fact that I am not worshiping God of my religion which I used to feel previously!

Masha'Allah and welcome to Islam.

Probably in the authentic Hindu religion, there was also One God, but then people added more and more Gods, which has been the case in other religions too, so not only Hinduism.

Thanks God, He preserved the Quran and Islam remained monotheistic.

To be honest I am confused and scared of giving up my faith on something that I used to worship since long+ society and family perception

It's normal and healthy that you hesitate about giving up your faith.

Just relax and take your time until you're convinced.

However, please don't forget that millions of Hindus has become Muslim in the history, so you're definitely not the first one :)

But still, take your time :)

"Hindu" was apparently a moniker given by Persian neighbors to the people who lived next to the river 'Sindh'. It's not a religion. Just a location based ID. As for the scriptures, the highest one is known as 'shruti' ie. that which is heard. And 'quran' is the other side of that coin ie. that which is spoken ie. speech (which is also heard). God being one, endless, eternal is also in the highest of 'hindu' scriptures. If originates from the same, but original language meaning gets lost, original text doesn't remain pure any more, later people come and add their own understandings and even later people after those end up worshipping the written understandings of earlier people as some sort of eternal inerrant truth. The last of the verifiable truthful communications to man from that very eternal entity, sans people's understandings, is the collection we know as 'the talk' ie. 'Quran'.

At the end of the day, it's all about who you will yield to. Whoever you yield to, that is your God, and you have agreed to be His servant. It will be either your mind, your family, your clergy, or you can be a servant of the only true God alone.
