Top 10 Best Religious Books

Religious books span a myriad of beliefs, ideologies, and schools of thought. From the ancient scripts of Eastern philosophies to the Abrahamic texts that have shaped Western religions, the spectrum is broad, rich, and deeply rooted in millennia of human history. Religious books offer profound insights that can guide you through life's ups and downs, moral dilemmas, or even just those idle Sunday afternoons.
The Top Ten
1 Qur'an The Qur'an is the holy book of Islam, believed to be a revelation from God (Allah) to the Prophet Muhammad over a period of approximately 23 years. Comprising 114 chapters, or Surahs, the Qur'an serves as a guide in all aspects of life and is considered the ultimate source of authority by Muslims.

The Quran is the true word and record of the last message from The Almighty God. Historically and accurately, the last prophet was chosen to implement this important message from God for the last time when people were going astray and disobeying the commandments of God, which had already been brought by past messengers of God Almighty.

The world was in chaos with hypocrisy, corruption, slavery, injustice, greed, debauchery, and other evil deeds.

The last prophet clearly glorified all the past messengers of God and the commandments. He was the only person in the world who truly glorified all the other prophets by teaching humanity to be together as one, without jealousy, with mercy, tranquility, and kindness guided by God.

Therefore, the Quran is the legacy of the prophets, a contract of all knowledge, and a contract of all other religions, which can teach to transcend and enlighten. The Quran guides us to easily learn many aspects of secular and spiritual life. The Quran is the holy book of God with peace, love, mercy, and heroism. The Quran is led by God, not by greed. The Quran itself is the best teller of "The Almighty God."

2 Bible The Bible is the central religious text for Christians, divided into the Old Testament, which overlaps with the Hebrew Bible, and the New Testament, which outlines the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. It has been translated into numerous languages and is one of the most widely read books in the world.

The Quran is not the No. 1 book of the world. Only the Bible is the No. 1 book of the world because most prophecies of the Bible are fulfilling and fulfilled. On the other hand, other religious books do not have prophecies like the Bible.

It's cool because you can interpret it in any way you want and apply it to your life.

This is the only true Word of God there is. Period.

3 Mahabharata The Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, the other being the Ramayana. Composed over several centuries, it tells the story of the Kurukshetra War and the fates of the Kaurava and the Pandava princes. The text also contains the Bhagavad Gita, a significant spiritual scripture.

You will never find divine knowledge like in the Bhagavad Gita, Bible, Quran, and Tripitaka. These are religious books, but the Bhagavad Gita is an all-in-one pack. It contains self-motivation, philosophy, motivation, ego, love, the concept of caste, the essence of religion, understanding the human body, and how to attain peace. It covers everything that every human being needs, regardless of their religious beliefs. The Bhagavad Gita is meant for all human beings.

Mahabharata contains the Bhagwat Geeta, in which the supreme personality, Lord Krishna himself, explains about himself.

But in any of the religious books of the world, God has never explained Himself. He is explained by a human being.

Hence, I can say that Mahabharata is the world's best religious book.

4 Guru Granth Sahib The Guru Granth Sahib is the central religious scripture of Sikhism, considered by Sikhs to be the final, sovereign, and eternal living Guru. Composed in various Indian languages, it contains hymns and teachings of Sikh Gurus as well as Hindu and Muslim saints.

The only religious book written by the enlightened souls during their lifetime, not created by some followers or students. Contains words of God as revealed by Sikh Gurus and saints from various sects and religions.

Gurbani can only give light in this dark age filled with all types of hypocrisy. The Guru Granth Sahib Ji cannot be regarded as a book. It's a living Guru, a universal truth common to humanity.

Knowledge for all humanity, not for a particular religion.

It has everything about past, present, and future. Real Living Guru in this world.

5 Torah The Torah is the central reference of the religious Judaic tradition and is the first part of the Hebrew Bible. It consists of the first five books (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) and outlines Jewish law and ancient history.

The Bible is literally the Torah, but with a few stories added and a few removed.

6 Tanakh The Tanakh is the canonical collection of Jewish texts, divided into three sections: the Torah (Law), the Nevi'im (Prophets), and the Ketuvim (Writings). It is the Hebrew Bible and serves as a cornerstone in Jewish culture and theology.
7 Bhagavad Gita Part of the Indian epic Mahabharata, the Bhagavad Gita is a 700-verse Hindu scripture. It is in the form of a dialogue between Prince Arjuna and the god Krishna, who serves as his charioteer. The text addresses the moral and philosophical dilemmas faced by Arjuna on the battlefield.

One of the oldest and also very educational books. It not only teaches you about religion but also about life and karma.

The epitome of spiritual knowledge is within this book. The Lord himself reveals all the secrets.

Tell me one book which was recited by God Himself.

8 Book of Mormon The Book of Mormon is one of the sacred texts of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism). Believed to be written by ancient prophets in the Americas, it serves as a companion to the Bible in outlining the teachings and doctrines of the church.

The principles and doctrine taught in the Book of Mormon will lead you to grow closer to Jesus Christ! It truly testifies of his divinity, just as the Bible does! It was written for our time, to help us know "to what source we may look for a remission of our sins".

Life-changing. Not only uplifting, but also prophetic in how it follows the rise and fall of a Christian civilization whose history seems to be mirroring our own.

The Book of Mormon has brought me a lot closer to my Savior, Jesus Christ. Anyone can read it and find out for themselves if it is truly God's word.

9 Ramayana The Ramayana is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, attributed to the sage Valmiki. It tells the story of Rama, an avatar of the god Vishnu, focusing on his efforts to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana.
10 Tripiṭaka The Tripiṭaka, also known as Tipitaka, is the traditional term for Buddhist scriptures. The text is divided into three "baskets" (Pitaka): the Sutta Pitaka (sermons), the Vinaya Pitaka (monastic rules), and the Abhidhamma Pitaka (scholastic interpretation and commentary).

13 Sahih al-Bukhari Sahih al-Bukhari is one of the most important Hadith collections in Sunni Islam, compiled by the Islamic scholar Imam Bukhari in the 9th century. The book contains accounts of the sayings, actions, and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad and is regarded as one of the most authentic and comprehensive compilations of Hadith.

It criticizes intelligent design by proposing a fictional deity, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and has been used to argue against the teaching of intelligent design in public schools.

Yeah, because they were trying to teach Adam and Eve in science, some guy who was obsessed with spaghetti and meatballs, pirates, beer, and strippers decided to invent a weird parody religion.

20 Avesta The Avesta is the primary collection of religious texts in Zoroastrianism, attributed to the prophet Zoroaster (or Zarathustra). It contains hymns, liturgy, and religious laws, among other texts. Although much of the original text has been lost, what remains is still used in Zoroastrian worship today.
21 Tao Te Ching (Daodejing) The Tao Te Ching, also known as the Daodejing, is an ancient Chinese text attributed to Laozi. It serves as the foundational scripture of Taoism. The book explores philosophical and ethical principles, emphasizing living in harmony with the "Tao" (The Way).

Not a religious book. A book of visions of a better future. It teaches about Yin and Yang, doing by not-doing, and going with the flow. Namaste!
