WEEK 8 ISLAM -: beliefs about creationSTORY
RELIGION -ISLAM- the Qur'an says that "the heavens and the
earth were joined together as one unit, before We clove them
asunder" (21:30). Following this big explosion, Allah "turned to
the sky, and it had been (as) smoke. He said to it and to the
earth: 'Come together, willingly or unwillingly.' They said: 'We
come (together) in willing obedience'" (41:11). Thus the
elements and what was to become the planets and stars began to
cool, come together, and form into shape, following the natural
laws that Allah established in the universe.
The Qur'an further states that Allah created the sun, the moon,
and the and the planets, each with their own individual courses
or orbits. "It is He Who created the night and the day, and the
sun and the moon; all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in
its rounded course
WEEK 9 Sikhism: beliefs about creation STORY
SIKHISM -Waheguru is responsible for all of creation and
everything in and on the earth belongs to Waheguru. Waheguru
is in charge of all life and without his hukam (will) nothing can
exist, change or develop.
Since creating the world Waheguru has cared for it he looks
after it and protects it.
Waheguru is in charge and causes the birth, life and death of
everything. There is no single aspect of the earth which
Waheguru does not care for. Sikhism believes that all creatures
lead their lives under the rule of Waheguru.
WEEK 10 – SCIENCTOLGY
In Scientology, this view flows from the theory of theta (the
life force, or spirit) creating MEST (a coined word for the
physical universe, Matter, Energy, Space and Time). In fact, it

could be said that the creation of the universe is an inseparable
part of that theory. The origins of theta and the creation of the
physical universe set forth in Scientology are described
in The Factors, written by L. Ron Hubbard in 1953.

Jain beliefs about the universe
Jains believe that the universe really exists and is not an
illusion. It has two classes of things: javas - living souls, and a
jivas - non-living objects, which include everything else,
including space.
Jain believes nothing in the universe is ever destroyed or
created, they simply change from one form to another form
Jains also believe the universe was always existed and will
always exist. It is regulated by cosmic laws and kept going by
its own energy processes. This concept of the universe is
compatible with modern scientific thinking. Jains believes the
universe is neither heaven nor hell.
NATURE OF GOD/CREATOR
· State the nature of the god(s) worshiped by this religion. If
you cannot identify a god (or gods) for this religion, offer a
suggestion as to why this religion may not have one.
this is complete.

Jainism and the divine
Jains do not believe in a God in the way that many other
religions do, but in divine (or at least perfect) beings who are
worthy of devotion.
The Jain views of God enables Jainism to explain the evil and
suffering that exists in the world without the intellectual
difficulties faced by religions that have an omnipotent, wholly
good, creator God at their heart. Jainism and the divine
Jains do not believe in a God or gods in the way that many other
religions do, but they do believe in divine (or at least perfect)
beings who are worthy of devotion.
The Jain view of God enables Jainism to explain the evil and
suffering that exists in the world without the intellectual
difficulties faced by religions that have an omnipotent, wholly
good, creator God at their heart.
Where religions such as Christianity find the problem of evil
one of their toughest tests, omnipotent, wholly good, Creator.
Jains use the existence of evil as a reason for denying the
existence GOD.
VIEW OF HUMAN NATURE
· State how this religion views human beings.
· How are human beings viewed with regard to their
characteristics and their place in the universe? If you cannot
identify how this religion defines human beings, offer a
suggestion as to why it doesn't.
this is complete.
Jains venerate them because they have achieved perfection, and
have become liberated from the cycle of birth and death.
The Jain’s are the ideal state of an individual soul's existence,

and are worshipped as a perfect example for Jains to aspire to.
So the only 'gods' that exist for Jains are pure souls that are
omniscient, perfectly happy and eternal.
All of us could become such a 'god' because every being has the
potential to become such a perfect soul.
In many ways the Jain attitude to perfect beings is both
intelligible and satisfying, and sufficient to demolish the claim
that Jainism is an atheistic religion. If one wants to argue that
Jainism is atheistic then one must do so from a specific, limited,
idea of what it means to be divine.
VIEW OF GOOD & EVIL
· State how this religion defines the concept of good and evil.
· Most religions encourage their adherents to be good and to
shun evil. How does this religion define these terms for those
who practice this religion? If you cannot identify how this
religion defines good and evil, offer a suggestion as to why it
doesn't.
this is complete.
Jainism the view of good and evil
Punya is the consequence of evil and paap is evil meaning
whatever you do come back to you if you do good you’re
rewarded the good deeds or if you do evil you’re rewarded with
evil.
Moksha is the elimination of everything good and bad.
Eg: You reap what you sow if you kill someone with a gun, you
will get kill by a gun what goes around comes around which is
karma.
Karma works without the intervention of any other being - gods

or angels have no part to play in dispensing rewards or
punishments.
By behaving well - so no karma is attracted
By having the right mental state - so that even if an action
attracts karma, the correct mental attitude of the being means
that karma either doesn't stick to that soul or is discharged
immediately
VIEW OF SALVATION
· All religions suggest that human beings are faced with a
“problem” that needs to be overcome. What is the “problem”
this religion identifies, and how does it suggest that we can
overcome it? If you cannot identify how this religion defines
the “problem,” or how to overcome it, offer a suggestion as to
why it doesn't.
this is complete.
Salvation is achieved through three basic ingredients: right
belief, right knowledge, and right conduct (also called the three
jewels or the three fold path of liberation.
The path to salvation is compared in Jaina works to a ladder
with its two side poles and the central rungs forming the steps.
The side poles of the ladder are right belief and right knowledge
and the rungs or steps of the ladder are the gradual stages of
right conduct.
It is obvious that it is possible to ascend the ladder only when
all the three i.e., the side poles and the rungs, are sound, that
absence of one makes liberation impossible Right Belief
Consists in believing that
The Jaina Arhats including the Tirthankaras are the true Gods.
VIEW OF AFTERLIFE

· What does this religion teach about “what comes next” after
all is said and done? For Eastern religions that teach
reincarnation, this question is about what happens after moksha
is attained. For Western religions, this question is about what
happens when we die. If you cannot identify how this religion
defines the afterlife, offer a suggestion as to why it doesn't.
this is complete.
Reincarnation
When a being dies the soul (jiva) goes to its next body
instantly. This body may not be human or even animal.
The quality of its next life is determined by its karma at that
time.
The mental state of the being at the moment of death is also
important: a calm and contented death, with the mind focussed
on spiritual matters, is the best he mental state of the being at
the moment of death is also important: a calm and contented
death, with the mind focussed on spiritual matters, is the best.
Deliverance
A being achieves deliverance when it is free from all karma.
This is not the same thing as enlightenment. An enlightened
being is free of all harmful karma, but still subject to the non-
harmful karma. However, a delivered being cannot attract any
harmful karma, and they cannot do anything bad. Such a being
is called an arihant.
PRACTICES AND RITUALS
· How do members of this religion “practice” their “faith?”
· What ceremonies, or rituals, do they use to help pass this

religion on to the next generation? If you cannot identify how
this religion is practiced, offer a suggestion as to why it doesn't
have any rituals or practices.
this is complete.
The Jain religion was born in India in the 6th century B.C.
Jainism shares similarities with Hinduism and Buddhism, due in
large part to the historical and cultural context in which it
arose. This religion, however, doesn't have as many followers as
Hinduism or Buddhism, nor has it made as many inroads into
the Western world.
Rituals are important to the Jain faith because it is through them
that beliefs and values are expressed. While this religion
emphasizes non-violence, which could, in part, be understood as
inaction, it also stresses asceticism, which is often marked by
certain religious behaviors.
Monasticism is an essential aspect of Jainism is the ascetic
lifestyle.

· Identify one or two celebrations and/or festivals that members
of this religion use to express their beliefs in public, or in
private.
· Name the festival(s) and give a short explanation of how it is
observed. If you cannot identify any celebrations or festivals
for this religion, offer a suggestion as to why it doesn't have

women, still things, and death.

things that move, dragons, and birth. Everyone has yin and yang
