Inspired individualsThere are many different characteristics that unite the territories and make them stronger. One of them is religion. Religion is the organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship a god or group of gods. In these religions, there is usually a leader who guides people in their faith and shows them the right path to take to serve their god. Throughout history there have been many different types of religion. The three main ones still recognized today are Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. Each had different people who were seen as leaders. So that others would know about these leaders and the works they did, many stories were written about them. These stories were created to spread knowledge about their religion and how one should behave when following it. Three documents from the period between 300 BC and 800 BC that concerned religious leaders are Asokavadana, Life of Constantine, and Life of Muhammad, Allah's Apostle and were written for persuasive purposes to show what behaviors were approved and disapproved by examining inspired the life of men. The Asokavadana is the story of one of the religious leaders of the Buddhist religion, King Aśoka. King Ashoka was a very respectful man who bowed to Buddhist monks when he saw them. One of his ministers, Yaśas, did not think this was acceptable since the monks were lower in the caste system than the king. The king saw this as an opportunity to teach his followers, so he asked all his ministers to bring him heads of various types of animals and then sell them in the market. Yaśas was ordered to bring and sell the head of a human being, but no one wanted it because it was found disgusting......in the middle of a sheet of paper......mmad, Allah's Apostle wrote with the aim of guiding others to the Islamic religion. This is demonstrated in the positive way in which Muhammad is spoken of. The story of Allah sending an angel to talk to Muhammad places this great man on a very high pedestal, which encourages others to follow him. The Prophet Muhammad was a very influential leader of the Islamic religion. In conclusion, the documents Asokavadana, Life of Constantine, and The Life of Muhammad, Allah's Apostle provide portraits of inspired people who helped pioneer the religions of Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. . Religious documents are very important to understand what that religion approves and disapproves of. The documents also provide historical facts about how religions began and the important people who helped spread them. Without them, these religions would not be as strong as they are today.
