Answer 2

Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem,
To proceed, In light of the textual evidences following Hinduism and the religion of the Muslims, Islam. It is dated, Hinduism, is the oldest religion in history led by one factor: Time. Time, we can now base off of two reasonings: archaeological findings and books to be around 5000 years old, and still practiced today. Thats fact...but not proof to be the oldest religion. Let's take the practices of the Hindus, in comparison, to how Muslims came to know their practices. The Hindus learned the generalities of their religious rites from the Shastras. Wherein are the tenets they follow today. As for the Muslims, the source of which they derive their principles are from the Holy Qur'an. Wherein are the historical teachings that were passed on from Adam to Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Wasn't Adam the first human being created? Of course he was, Adam was -one who submitted to Allah-. The very meaning of a Muslim. So the oldest religion reasonably is and was Islam!

Answer 3

I'm not sure if either of those religions are considered the oldest of all religions. But Hinduism is definitely much older than Islam.

Answer 4

Islam is oldest. Many people Think Islam start By Prophet Muhammad S.A.W only. Islam exit since before world start. From Adam, Nuh, Abraham, Moses, Isa (jesus), Muhammad S.A.W. Every Prophet are Islam. All teaching their people Worship only One God, That Is Allah (Allah is Arabic Word) But Juddism or Christian also believe Allah but name of Allah is in their language. And Christian and Juddism name change by people and they change the content in books. They only religion all prophet believe is Islam. Even Isa (Jesus) A.S. or Moses A.S are Islam. Al-Quran is Last Book which is last version. Which means it complete and have all content since Adam to Muhammad. That why we call Islam is complete and last book. The theory which telling Islam is new is not true. Im not telling u to believe me, but i ask u to read al-quran and do the analysis then u will understand when Islam start. Do not judge without u understand it. I know everybody respect their religion. and nobody will said that my religion is fake or said bad thing abt own religion which they believe. I also respect all religion. Islam is about peace and do good thing. Hope it help

Answer 5

Islam was started around 500 CE. Hinduism is perhaps the oldest existing religion.

Answer 6

Hinduism has thousands of years on Islam. The Vedas, on which Hinduism is based, are the oldest religious texts still in use today, with the Rig Veda being composed in written form about 1200 years BC, after many centuries of oral transmission.

Answer 7

Islam is a religion related to the Christian and Jewish religions and the Christian and Jewish prophets are prophets of Islam too. Moses was alive around 1300 B.C. and Abraham around 2000 B.C.
Hinduism was found around 3500 B.C. so I would say that Hinduism is older as a religion in basically its original form.

Answer 8

Islam is much newer. The prophet Mohamed lived after Jesus and Hinduism's roots go back much farther than Jesus. Islam is also a complete joke if you study history you will find Islam is completely ridiculous and Mohamed was just another Arab who thinks he was a God. Hinduism is much more substantial check it out for yourself and you will see.

Answer 9

Hindu Dharma is one of the oldest religions while Islam began in the 7th century.
