The world's oldest religions are the subject of debate among historians and scholars because it is difficult to pinpoint the exact origins and dates of religious practices. 

Mohammed’s acquaintance with Islam is closely related to his personal experiences, spiritual journey and encounters with divine revelations. He was born in 570 CE in Mecca and grew up among people who practiced polytheism, tribalism and inequalities. Nevertheless, Muhammad’s search for truth and spiritual fulfillment would ultimately lead him to the last messenger of Islam. This narrative explores the different stages of revelation that shaped Muhammad’s understanding of Islam, beginning from his early childhood until the time he received divine revelations.

Early Life and Influences:The Quraysh tribe belonged to Mecca where they had been entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing worship at Kaaba, a holy shrine that housed idols worshipped by pre-Islamic Arabs. Though orphaned at an early age Muhammad lived with his grandfather first then uncle Abu Talib. As a young boy he earned a reputation for honesty, trustworthy and deep thought, which earned him the name “Al-Amin”.

Since his growing years, Muhammad had been exposed to different religious and cultural influences present in Meccan society. The polytheistic belief of the pagans was practiced alongside diluted versions of monotheistic faith inherited from Abraham and Ishmael that were corrupted by idolatry and superstitions. These contrasting world views with which Muhammad grew up would lead him into a path of introspection and spiritual questioning.

Hinduism is one of the oldest and most diverse religious traditions in the world. Over the years, it has been deeply connected with social systems and cultural norms which have greatly impacted people’s lives for centuries. This paper will discuss two major social concerns that exist within Hindu society – caste system and women’s status. We will look at their historical background, development over time as well as current challenges faced by them; besides we are going to touch upon attempts made towards changing these aspects taking into consideration insights from Hindu religious texts, historical records and contemporary discourses.

Caste System in Hindu Society: Historical Views and Modern ChallengesThe “varna vyavastha” or caste system is a hierarchical division of people into different groups based on their birth, occupation and social status . There are four main categories under this traditional varna system:

• Brahmins (Priests): They belong to highest varna who perform priestly duties such as conducting rituals, studying scriptures etc.
• Kshatriyas (Warriors): This class includes warriors responsible for protecting society against external aggression and ruling kingdoms internally.
• Vaishyas (Merchants): Members of business community engaged mainly in wealth creation through trade activities like agriculture among others.
• Shudras (Servants): Labourers performing manual tasks considered inferior by other higher castes; they serve those above them.

Jainism, one of the oldest religions that began in ancient India, gives deep insights about existence, ethics and spirituality. Fundamental ideas of Jain philosophy include Dravya (substance), Pramana (valid knowledge), Soul (Jiva) and Karma (action and its consequences). This inclusive examination will look into each of these pivotal concepts in Jain religion by clarifying their meanings, importance as well as implications for personal transformation and spiritual growth.

Dravya: The Essence of Existence In Jainism, Dravya signifies the basic substances or categories of reality that make up the universe. According to Jain philosophy, there are six eternal substances which never change; they are known as Dravyas:

• Jiva (Soul): The sentient conscious being that has individual consciousness and undergoes birth, death, rebirth (samsara).
• Ajiva (Non-living): The non-sentient inactive entities that exist together with souls but serve as their backdrop in order to make them experience life. Ajive is inclusive of matter (Pudgala), space(Akasha), time(Kala) and motion(Dharma).
• Pudgala (Matter): Pudgala is a physical world’s material substance made up of atoms, molecules and all solid objects that one can touch. Pudgala has attributes which include; color, taste, smell and touch.
• Akasha (Space): The space without boundaries between objects in the universe. Akasha enables matter and souls to exist or move about.
• Kala (Time): Time is an everlasting dimension that never changes and determines the order of events as they happen in life. Time is a continuous flow with moments like past, present and future.
• Dharma (Motion): Dharma refers to a natural impulse or force that causes objects or entities to move within the universe, interacting with each other. It makes reality dynamic by ensuring a constant change of existence.
• To understand Jainism worldview it is important to comprehend Dravya– its essence lies in seeing everything around as interconnected whole that cannot be separated from one another. By understanding how Dravyas are interconnected Jains learn to acknowledge the sacredness of existence and reduce violence in their relationships with the world.
