Jainism

Definition of Jainism as it relates to Religions, Monotheism, Prophets

Jainism is an ancient religion originating in the Indian subcontinent, founded by Mahavira in the 6th century BCE.

While Jainism does not fit under monotheism or prophets, it is a significant religion that promotes the idea of individual liberation from the cycle of rebirth through enlightenment and ascetic practices.
