Abstract
Shinto or Shintoism is an ancient, traditional,
national and indigenous or native Japanese
religion. This pre-historic religious tradition also
remained as Official or State religion of Japan for a
period of time. Though Japan is a secular state right
now, however, Shinto and Buddhism are still its
major religions. Islam is a divine-based dominant
world religion revealed to Prophet Muhammad
(May peace and mercy be upon him). The article in
hand presents a brief comparative analysis of
Shinto and Islam in various aspects.
