The Hindu and Islam faiths are two of the bigger chunks of global faith being practiced at present. With their own set of symbols and practices as part of their spiritual endeavors, these two religions make good use of their own symbols and words in their scripture, actions, as well as media like faith flags and paintings. Here are some common ones for your understanding.
The Hindu faith has been around for quite a while, being practiced by millions of followers in the Asian region. One of the more common chants and syllables being used as a symbolic testament is the “aum” which is more than just a mere syllable uttered. It is referred in the holy book of Hinduism itself. It is quite similar to Christianity’s “Amen” which denotes acceptance to teachings of the Christian faith instead. As for the material symbol, the lotus is regarded as the most common and familiarly associated depiction with Hindu virtue and purity. Even the gods and goddesses of Hinduism are associated with each of their own lotus. For example, the goddess Lakshmi and Saraswati are associated with the pink and the white lotus respectively.

The Islam faith is more commonly associated with the Rub el Hizb and the Ottoman symbol. The former is mentioned and is seen in the beginning of many Islamic books and is also seen in the holy book Quran. It is depicted and stated in many forms of media like write-ups, teachings, banners, faith flags, and the like. The Ottoman symbol is actually the very well known star and crescent symbol. Even in modern times, it is depicted on a grand scale – as much as being part of the national emblem on countries’ flags such as that of Turkey’s and Pakistan’s.
