مذہبی عقائد اور ضرب الامثال : تحقیقی جائزہ

Abstract

Religious teachings and literary traditions both play a vital role in shaping peaceful, morally grounded societies. Religion offers a framework for ethical conduct and personal development, while literature especially in the form of proverbs, and provides a powerful means for individuals to express deep, often complex thoughts with clarity and grace. Across cultures and languages, proverbs have long served as a memorable and effective tool for passing down important life lessons, religious insights, and collective experiences from one generation to the next.

In religious traditions, core beliefs form the very foundation of faith. Some doctrines are so central that embracing them is considered essential to being part of a particular religious community. These foundational ideas often find expression in the succinct and impactful language of proverbs.

This article explores the cultural and communicative significance of proverbs, focusing on how they reflect and reinforce key religious and moral teachings. By examining well-known proverbs rooted in the major faiths of the Indian subcontinent (particularly Hinduism and Islam) the study highlights how these expressions continue to shape ethical thinking and spiritual understanding in everyday life.
