Jainism is a transtheistic belief, holding that the world was not formed, and will survive forever. It is considered to be independent, having no governor, judge, creator, or even destroyer. It is similar to the Abrahamic religions, but alike to Buddhism. Meanwhile, according to Parasnath Chalisa, Jainism believes in the god’s world and hell beings who are dying, born, and reborn similar to the earthly beings.

Jainism teaches five moral duties, which you can call up five vows. These are known as mahavratas (great vows) and anuvratas (small vows) for Jain laypersons for Jain mendicants.
