A religion combining Islamic practices, Hinduism, and Schopenhauerian metaphysics would blend core aspects of each tradition into a unique spiritual system focused on transcending suffering and understanding the nature of reality.

Schopenhauer’s concept of the *will* as the fundamental force driving existence would be central. The universe’s apparent order and suffering would be seen as manifestations of this irrational, blind force. The material world, like Hinduism’s *Maya*, would be recognized as an illusion, obscuring the true nature of reality. The ultimate goal would be liberation from suffering, similar to Hindu *Moksha*, achieved by renouncing desires, which perpetuate suffering and are tied to the *will*. This liberation would align with Schopenhauer’s idea of renouncing the will through ascetic practices and contemplation.

### Islamic Practices
Islamic practices would provide the structure for daily devotion and spiritual discipline:

- **Tawhid (Oneness of God)**: While Schopenhauer’s metaphysical framework would influence the interpretation, the concept of God’s oneness (*Tawhid*) would still be central, seeing God as the source of the *will*.
- **Prayer (Salah)**: The five daily prayers would serve as a reminder to detach from worldly desires, facilitating a deeper focus on renunciation and contemplation.
- **Fasting (Sawm)**: Fasting would not only be an act of obedience but also a spiritual tool to overcome attachment to the body’s desires, symbolizing renunciation of the *will*.
- **Zakat (Charity)**: Charity would be practiced not only as an obligation but as a way to detach from material wealth and overcome the *will’s* drive toward accumulation.

### Hindu Influence
Hinduism would contribute ideas on cosmology, ethics, and spiritual practices:

- **Atman and Brahman**: The individual soul (*Atman*) and the universal soul (*Brahman*) would align with Schopenhauer’s notion of individual will as a manifestation of the ultimate will. The goal would be to realize oneness with the divine.
- **Reincarnation and Karma**: A version of reincarnation could be incorporated, recognizing that the cycle of birth and rebirth is driven by the *will*’s perpetual striving, and liberation is the ultimate goal.
- **Yoga and Meditation**: Practices like yoga would focus on cultivating detachment and transcending the material world, using meditation to quiet the mind and achieve a glimpse of the true nature of existence.
