Differences Between Christianity And Islam

Islam and Christianity have so much similarities than people tend to perceive. The main differences between Islam and Christianity include their place of worship, view of Jesus, Holy scriptures, certain practices and even the use of images and statues. People who practice Islam are known as Muslims and people who practice Christianity are called Christians.

Both Islam and Christianity have practices or duties that are central to the life of there religious community. Catholics are expected to take part in as many of the Seven Sacraments as possible, while Muslims are expected to practice all of the Five Pillars Of Islam. Both Muslims and Christians are monotheists, believing in the same god, referred to as “Allah” by the Muslims and “God” by Catholics. In this sense Islam and Christianity are considerably intertwined, appearing to come from the same beginning. Both Islam and Christianity are based primarily on the lives and teachings of men sent by God. In Christianity, Jesus was the son of God, sent down to earth to spread the word of the Lord to the people, and ultimately die a brutal death so that this people may reach eternal peace in heaven. Christians praise Jesus’ suffering for them as well as for his teachings and for the miracles he performed to assist the needy. Despite the fact that Islam and Christianity share a mutual God, Muslims do not believe that

The areas of disagreement between Islam and Christianity are quite clear. Although Islam accepts the holiness of Jesus, it denies his Godliness. According to the teaching of Islam, Jesus is not God, nor is he united with God. On the other hand, Christians view Jesus as a God and live their lives in accordance of him. Moreover, Islam teaches that Jesus is not the Son of God. God does not have any children because He is above that. Conversely, Christians know Jesus as the son of God, a Savior and Lord who died on the cross to take away all of our sins. Islam by contrast, denies the crucifixion of Jesus. Muslims believe that Jesus did not die on the cross; he only made people think he was and God saved him.

Worshippers of Christianity are called Christians. The followers and worshippers of Islam are called Muslims. Christians believes Jesus is the son of God, while Muslims believes that Jesus is not the son of God, that e is one of the prophets. In Christianity, Jesus is the head of the Church; while in Islam, Muhammad is the head of Islam. Christianity teaches about believing in Trinity, and peace. Islam teaches dying at war as the will of Allah. Christianity believes in doing the will of God and being “born again” to get into heaven. Islam believe in going to paradise. Christianity teaches that Isaac is the covenant child that God promised Abraham and Sarah, Islam teaches that Ishmael was the child of promise and so Muslims believe that God's covenant promises were meant for

In both Christianity and Islam, the belief of god is fundamentally the same. Both religions are monotheistic; worshiping one god. The remarkable thing about this similarity is that people of both religions are essentially worshiping the same god. In Islam, he is referred to as “Allah”, whereas Christians refer to him as “God”. Muslims and Christians agree that god is the creator and sustainer of the universe. And in both religions, this

Islam and Christianity are the largest religion in the world and share many common beliefs. The two religions co-exist in many parts of the world. However, each religion has it is own territories where they are the dominant religion. The two religions share almost the same history of inception and concepts of faith. Despite, being similar in many ways, they also have marked differences. The differences have led to mutual distrust between the Christians and the Muslims. Many Muslims have come out openly to criticize the Christian religion and Christians have written many articles condemning the Islam religion. The differences and similarities appear in many aspects of the religions. As such, it is easier to discuss them intensively by restricting the discussion to selected aspects. The life after death and belief in the Supreme Being by the believers of Christianity and Islam religions has many differences and similarities.

Christianity and Islam are both monotheistic religions, meaning that they are based on the following of one god or heavenly being. The followers of Islamic belief, which was founded by the prophet Mohammad, are called Muslims. Christians, who are followers of the teachings of Jesus Christ, believe that Jesus was the Messiah sent by god. Each religion has a book that includes stories and teachings of their respective gods. For Muslims, this book is known as the Qur'an and teaches ideas such as "The Five Pillars". The Christian equivalent of this book is known as the Holy Bible.

Christianity and Islam are some of the largest religions in the world today. Relative to the massive followers there are quite some intriguing differences and similarities that can be found between the two, from their beliefs, their origin, practices and doctrines (Redditt). The Christians belief in the holy trinity, which comprises of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, while the Islam believe in Allah as their God and Mohamed as the true Prophet. While there are quite a number of differences between the two religions, there are also similarities to match. One of the major similarities is the fact that the two are Abrahamic religions, meaning that they both believe that there is only one God. This paper delves into the aspect of the afterlife and that of deities between the two religions, by trying to establish the main differences and similarities.

Muslims confess that God is one (Koran 112: 1-4). He has no partner (Koran 6: 22-24) or son (Koran 2:16; 19: 35). God is so much transcendent that he comes in contact with humankind that through his word as it is contained in the Koran. If from this point of view, the Islamic conception of God contains some accents of the Biblical revelation, on the other hand, Muslims reject the Biblical truths which Christians consider to be a central element for their faith as we will see it in the following section of this study. However, Muslims believe in the virgin birth of Jesus, in his miracles, his ascension into heaven by God and his return to the earth before judgment

Christianity and Islam are wide spread religions which impact the lives of believers spiritually. Both religions have had substantial impact on the course of history and have formed the basis of many countries laws and are highly recognized by governments. Though Christianity is more widely known, they both pose the same challenges to each other. Considering the similarities and differences of Christianity and Islam, it can be said they are both very different.

As all religions Islam and Christianity have many similarities, but the religions also have key differences. Muslims belief in one God which they call Allah, in the same way Christians also believe in one God. Even though both religions belief in one God, Christians believe that Jesus is the son the of God while Muslims believe that God has no family members (brothers,sister, parents, children, etc). The Muslims follow the a holy book called the Quran which teaches them to follow a code of conduct like to respect, truthfulness, and encourage peace; likewise the Christians also have a holy book called the Bible which follows the same code of conduct. Although both books are very similar they have key difference for example a new version of

The biggest difference in Islam and Christianity is that Muslims don’t believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, which is the basic foundation of Christianity. Muslims believe that Jesus was a servant of God as well as a prophet. Muhammad is believed to be a prophet and a servant of God also; however, Muhammad is said to be the last prophet sent by God to guide humanity. On the contrary, Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God and is therefore viewed as God

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Rev.21.8,KJV) One thing that separates Christianity from the other two religions is the outlook on Jesus Christ, we believe that in the Book of John it is said that Jesus is 100 percent man and 100 percent God, and he died for the sins of the World by crucifixion, and that he now sits in heaven with a new, resurrected body, waiting to come back and reclaim the Earth. In Judaism, they do not really think anything of Jesus, they believe God is Yahweh, and that alone. They do not think of Jesus as a messiah or anything close. In the Islamic religion, they also believe that Allah is the only part of God, but they do credit Jesus to be the only man free of sin to ever live, but they do not think of him as the Messiah either, only a prophet.

Although both Christianity and Islam are monotheistic religions, there beliefs of the concept of deity and the view of Jesus differThe Christians believed in the trinity, or three persons in one godhead; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; with God as the Father, Jesus as the son, and the Holy Spirit of God within each Christian. Where as unity and strict monotheism was the belief for the Muslims, as they saw Allah as one and only one. The Christians also believed Jesus as the son of God and the savior of the world, while the Muslims saw Jesus only as a true prophet of God, not the son of God, as the Qur’an states, “Say: “God is Unique! God, the Source

Many religions have impacted the thoughts and beliefs of millions around the world. Two of these religions are Islam and Christianity, both of which are similar, yet, incredibly different. Christianity, which had come long before Islam, is known to be the root of Islam which makes sense since the two religions share much in common. They are both Abrahamic and monotheistic religions which means they share the belief in only one true existing God and are rooted to have many similarities. Their differences, however, are what make them two distinctive religions, which is why they are recognized and classified for being so. Similarities and differences arise in many topics and situations, but differences take over and divide them into
