This question delves into the core beliefs of different religions and is ultimately a matter of faith and perspective, with no objective answer.
The perception of power between Allah in Islam and Shiva in Hinduism is based on their respective theological frameworks:
- Allah in Islam: Allah is considered the supreme and singular God, the creator and sustainer of the universe. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-merciful. The concept of Allah is strictly monotheistic, with no partners or equals. In Islam, Allah is formless.
- Shiva in Hinduism: Shiva is one of the principal deities in Hinduism, often considered the destroyer or transformer within the Trimurti (the Hindu trinity, which also includes Brahma the creator and Vishnu the preserver). Shiva is considered supremely powerful and the ultimate reality by his devotees. Shiva can be both formless and with form.
The concept of "power" itself differs within these religions. In Islam, Allah's power is absolute and unchallenged. In Hinduism, while Shiva is extremely powerful, the concept of power may be viewed within a more complex cosmological framework involving multiple deities and energies.
Therefore, directly comparing who is "more powerful" is not meaningful. Each deity holds the ultimate position within their respective faith.
