For the purpose of peace and Unity we need to understand each other. We have to remove all the difference between us. For that I need your cooperation let resolve it here:
WHAT IS RELIGION?
Before Understanding Religion firstly analyze
Q. Who is Almighty?
a) The God (who had created the universe)
or
b) The creations of the God (like sun, moon, earth, you, me, etc.)
In solving above problem you will find that The God is Almighty.
Now Analyze,
Q. Who must be worshiped?
a) The Almighty God.
OR
b) The creations of God (like sun, moon, human being etc.)
OR
c) The creations of Human being (Scooter, Car, Statue, etc.)
In solving the above problem you will find that The Almighty God must be worship.
Now the Question arises how should we worship The Almighty God
- Directly
Or
- Indirectly (means some people recognize that the creation of the Almighty God is God)
Let us see an Example
Mr. John who loves his mother very much he can do anything for her. One day, Mr. John made a statue of his beloved mother and start recognizing that statue as his mother, one day his mother while cooking food for Mr. John in Kitchen caught in the grip of Fire by accident and she asked him from the burning kitchen water to stop fire and to save her But Mr. John as he believed that the statue of his Mother is Mother so he started giving the water to the statue of his mother. His mother asked him again for water and saving, but Mr. John again gave the water to the statue of his mother and the process continued…..
Now tell me whether his mother would be happy with him? Or she ever would say that her statue is equal to her?
The answer will be no, even if the Thousands of people say to you that the statue of the mother of Mr John is his mother your answer will remain NO.
In the same manner if thousands of people say to a rational person like you and me that the Sun (a creation of Almighty God) can be recognised as God the Answer will only Be NO. No one on the earth is like Almighty God. It would be a Sin to call created things to be God.
Conclusion:
When God/Allah is one then the religion must be one that is to Worship only Almighty God.
What is Islam?
Islam is an Arabic word which mean Submission of own Will towards Allah i.e. God Almighty. Islam is derived from the word salaam meaning peace.
Muslim is an Arabic word which means Person who submits his will to Almighty God. In other words whosoever worship only Almighty God is a Muslim.

-The answer is Yes as Adam (peace be upon him) worshiped only ALLAH in his period, And he was the first Muslim in His Period.
b) Abraham (peace be upon him)

e)Muhammad (peace be upon Him)
- The answer is yes as Muhammad (peace be upon him) never recognised himself as god and he worshiped only Allah not the creations of Allah. And he was the first Muslim in His period. And he was the first Muslim in His Period.
The person who believes that Allah is one and he/she worships only Allah and not the creations of Allah and Also he/she believes that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last Prophet of Allah is an Islamic/ Muslim.

Do our Respected Ram is our God?
Whether we are Muslim or Hindu,[ irrespective of religion] people love the story of Ram and his work.
Even by the co-incident the word RAM is used in computer terminology which stands for RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY.
People of every religion feel that the story of RAM is really entertaining.
There is a Misconception between the people that the learned Muslim use abusive language for our Respected Ram.
Allah [Almighty God] says in Quran 6:108 : “And do not abuse those whom they call upon besides Allah, lest exceeding the limits they should abuse Allah out of ignorance.”
Not only this, our Last Prophet Muhammad [Peace be upon him] has prohibited to use abusive language for the people who have already died
"Don't abuse the dead, because they have reached the result of what they forwarded." (Book #23, Hadith #476 Sahih Bukhari)
So there is a no chance that a learned Muslim can use the abusive language for our respected Shri Ram.
But Muslims don’t believe our respect Shri Ram is God.
Let me explain you this in light of one chapter of Quran
It is mentioned in Surah Al-IKHLAS of Quran112:1 Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
112:2 Allah is He on Whom all depend.
112:3 He begets not, nor is He begotten(It means neither He have parents nor he have children)
112:4 And none is like Him.
Above are the parameters to check whether someone is God or Not.
Our Respected Shri Ram fulfilled the first condition that he is the one and Only. But Our Respected Shri Ram doesn’t fulfill rest of the condition.
Shri Ram is not whom on which All depend, even in the period of Shri Ram, Ravan was independent to Ram he doesn’t depend on Ram.
Shri Ram was having Parents and sons
Every Human is Like him in Appearance. Shri Ram was having two hands we have also, Shri Ram was having two eyes we have also. Ravan had taken one day to kidnap Respected Sita, on the other Hand our respected Ram had taken nearly 12 years to reach Lanka.
But after analysis one can say that Shri Ram was excellent person of that Time.
All the above points may not be followed by our lovely Hindu Brothers. Let us see what Hindu Scripture says about God.
Hindu Scriptures are categories in two Parts
[A] Sruti
[B] Smrti
Sruti means that which has been heard, perceived, understood or revealed. It is the oldest and the most sacred of the Hindu’s Scriptures. The Sruti is divided into two main parts: the Vedas and the Upanishads and these two are considered to be of divine origin. But when Sruti had came into existence no one knows. And also onto whom hand it had came also not known by any one.
Smrti is not as sacred as the sruti. Yet it is considered to be important and is popular with the Hindus today. Smrti means memory or remembered. This Hindu literature is easier to understand because it speaks about the truths of the Universe through Symbolism and Mythology. The smrti are not considered to be of divine origin but are accepted as human composition. The Smrti lists rules governing the actions of the individual, the community and the society, which regulate and guide individuals in their daily conduct. They are also known as Dharma Shastra. Smrtis consist of many writings including the Puranas, Ramayan, Mahabharat, Bhagvat Gita, Manu Smriti, etc.

Amongst all the Hindu Scriptures, the Vedas are considered the most authentic. No other Hindu Scriptures overrule the Vedas. If there is a contradiction between the Vedas and any other Hindu scripture, the opinion of the Veda will prevail, according to Hindu Scholars.
If we ask some lay persons who are Hindus that how many gods do they believe in, some may say three, some may say thirty-three, some may say a thousand, while some may say thirty-three crores i.e. 330 million. But if we ask this question to a learned Hindu who is well versed with the Hindu Scriptures, he will reply that the Hindus should actually believe and worship only one God.

From the above one can say that Shri Ram was not God. But still there is a Believe that Shri Ram is an Avatar of God. Their believe suggest that God take birth on earth to understand earth or to understand the people of earth or to kill someone.
Let me explain it with an example
Suppose you bought a Mobile from any store. And after using the mobile, you realized that certain features of the mobile you are unable to understand. Then what you will do? Firstly you will see the instruction manual to understand the features but if still you will not be able to understand the features you will take the help of your close ones. And if you get failed, then what you will do? Then ofcourse you will take the help of the company of whom the mobile you have bought because the only creator knows better about its creation. Likewise our creator need not to take birth on earth to understand us. Our Creator knows us better than us. And Almighty God is superior to all that he doesn’t need to take birth to kill anyone.
Further Avatar is the Sanskrit term where ‘Av’ means ‘down’ and ‘tr’ means ’passover’. Thus Avatar means to descend down or to come down. There is no reference of Avatars anywhere in the Vedas, the most sacred of the Hindu scriptures i.e. sruti.
But as I have told you earlier one can say that our Respected Ram was the excellent Man. Even Our Respected Lakshmana himself said to Rama as an excellent Man.
“You are unaware how strong, high soled and irresistible even to celestials, is this Rama the excellent man of Raghu dynasty, who shall deprive you of your life.” Valmiki Ramayan, Book number VI Chapter 20, Verse 29
“O, honorable man! Even without the destruction of the ocean, the purpose of you the greatest hero will be fulfilled. Men like you do not fall into the sway of anger. You see some durable and noble alternative” Valmiki Ramayan Book Number VI Chapter 21 Verse 34
So if we love Almighty God, our Respect Rama, our respect Krishna, All the human then Temple of Almighty God is to be created and such Temple should not be created by demolishing the temple of other gods
May Almighty God forgive all us
May we all come more closer to each other to increase the love and peace between us.

And hold fast, All together, by the Rope Which Allah (stretches out for you),and be not divided among yourselves.
