Maya in Islam?
The Moderator may have a difficult time with this article as he may
get blasted for allowing something that is not about Hinduism. But I
would like to suggest that it is relevant for Hindus to be aware that
there are common views between religions.
The Quran says:
Know that the life of this world is only play, an idle talk,
and pageantry, and boasting among you, and rivalry in respect
of wealth and children; as the likeness of vegetation after
rain, whereof the growth is pleasing to the husbandman, but
afterward it drieth up and thou seest it turning yellow, then
it becometh straw. And in the Hereafter there is grievous
punishment, and (also) forgiveness from Allah and His good
pleasure, whereas the life of the world is but matter of
illusion.
(57:20, translated by M.M.Pickthall)
So the concept of Maya is not exclusively Hindu.
Peace.
