Indeed Hinduism is the oldest organized, self consistent religion. In my opinion, Hindus collected the fables, stories, superstitions that were floating around in those days among various tribes and weaved all of them into a coherent, logical, pantheistic religion. All the other religions have borrowed heavily from Hinduism (as we saw earlier, Allah was originally a Hindu Goddess).
Languages adopt many words from each other. E.g. many English words are in common use now by the Arab and other nations; because now English is the leading science and civilization language.
In the past, many words had been adopted from other nearby civilizations like the Persian, the Roman ..etc. So why not many words could have their other national origins?
E.g. now the word God obviously means the Creator: the Lord of heavens and earth and the entire universe.
But its origin may be Indo-Arian: because the related word Khodah means God with the Persian, the Kurdish and others who are Indo-Arian peoples.
So the implication of the word الله to the Arab is the same implication of the word God to the English: the Creator. And as it was discussed before the word الله originally is ال إله or "the god".
Because God is called by many names with different nations; and God had no parents who might have named Him when He was born; Glory be to God Almighty the One the Unique. I say this only as argument against the disbeliever, while God in fact has not any son or parents and He is the Eternal.
Moreover, if you say Hinduism is older than the Islam, I say: yes it is; but who were before the Hinduism? Were the Hindu the first people on Earth?
In addition, I think the Hinduism might have been some heavenly religion, and was later on distorted just like the Christianity now. Hinduism now is distorted into an obvious idolatry and polytheism whatever their plea and argument.
I tell you the truth: Had I not been told in the Quran that Christianity is a heavenly monotheistic religion in the origin, (and seeing what Christians say now about Jesus as the son of God and the Trinity) I would have considered them like the Hinduism: a polytheism and idolatry.
And in spite of the fact that the Islam religion is so strict on this point that:
(
No god but God alone without associate and that Mohammed is His servant and apostle);
but evenso there has been much
enthusiasm about the imams and shikhs and the companions of the prophet that may in the future lead them to the association like the Christianity about Jesus: if this continues;
i.e. some of Muslims may in the future turn to say that Ali is God and Hussein is His son or something like that, unless this will be rejected and reformed.
