Abstract

This article lays foundation that any mythology is imaginary and can only explain story tales; they are not linked with logic at all. These stories are not bound by logic or scientific reasoning. Even though, humans have progressed a lot and have pushed the limits of knowledge and innovation they still relate themselves to these myths because these stories have been a part of their past. Mythology has foundational importance in language and literature because in Yonani, Arabian, Irani and Hindu regions mythology has a very important place in literature. Quran narrates a very vivid and comprehensive explanation of mythology. The word 'asateer ul awaleen' has been used in Quran in many places. Surah Inam, Al-Anfal, Nahal, Momeenoon, Furqan, Al-Qalam are a few surahs to name here. Islam clearly stated that these mythologies are just stories of people from the past when they were not knowledgeable enough. Mythologies are superstitious believes, visions and blames which became a part of people’s religions and believes with time. They don't have any historical importance other than that. Here we have to clarify that when we study different civilizations we find many similarities, and they point towards monotheism and the start of human history was based on mythology so why should we deny from it. This article also discusses the foundation of Hinduism based on their religious scriptures, literature and mythologies.
