The understanding and interpretations of sacred texts have been the basis for many religious discussions and arguments. From each person practicing a certain religion, they have their own opinions and interpretations that may differ from others. With interpretations of sacred texts, there has also been confusion as to what many word or phrases with the intended meaning of words that have many meanings or could have changed. The religions of Islam and Christianity both are classified as one of the Abrahamic religions or faiths, meaning both traces their ancestral history back to Abraham and are sternly monotheistic. Between these two religions there and many similarities that links together with the characteristics of the Abrahamic religion. Islam and Christianity identifies Jesus as a prophet born through a virgin birth, who would eventually return to earth again. Muslims and Christians hold the belief that God provided humans with a guide for living. And lastly, the idea of sin is very important within both of these religions, however what sin is and how it is handled within each practice is one of the main factors that sets the two apart. Islam believes that Christians interpreted the message of Jesus wrong and therefore the message is corrupt. In this paper I will compare the theological interpretations of the Christian Bible and the Muslim’s Quran. I will argue that these differences between the two interpretations of the Quran and the Bible play a significant role in

As of today, the world’s two largest religions Christianity and Islam share an estimated 3.6 billion members, more than half of the world’s population. On the surface, they appear to have almost nothing in common, however, as one goes beyond the surface and examines the other factors such as the rituals, beliefs, ethics, founders, and convictions, the two religions share many similarities. However, in order to truly see and understand these similarities and differences, one must date back to the rise and birth of Christianity and Islam.

Both Islamic schools or groups (called Sunnis and Shiites)agree upon basic Islam pillars and fundamentals. they differ on minor Islam and historical issues. These differences appeared only after prophet Muhammad death (not murder). Some people (who are called later Shiites) called for Muslim ruling to be within Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) family and descendants and accordingly Ali Ibn Abou Taleb should by the first Muslim ruler after prophet Muhammad (PBUH) death. While the majority (who are called later the Sunnis) elected Abou Bakr (Prophet Muhammad closer companion and the first man entered into Islam faith) as the first

Sunni Islam is the largest denomination of the Islamic faith and the most orthodox. Claiming approximately 90% of all Islamic faith traditions, Sunnism is know for its rigorous study of the Quran and Hadith. The word “Sunni” is derived from the word “Sunnah” which is literally translated as “habit” or “literal practice.” Thus, the Sunni tradition of Islamic faith dealt with issues of doctrine and practice. Furthermore, Sunnism is based on what they call the Five Pillars of Islam. The first deals with the faith and proclamation that there is only one God “Allah” and Muhammad as its prophet. The second, concerns prayer and the importance of adhering to one’s prayer life. The third emphasizes the good works and charitable giving to one’s neighbor

At the first glance, Islam and Christianity appear to have nothing in common, however; as you go beyond the surface, they appear to have many similarities such as their beliefs of God, their beliefs of life after death, their holy scriptures, and their prayers. These religions, although are two entirely different beliefs, share a similar origin. Like many other religions, they both claim to be the one and only true way to God. In order to truly see and understand their similarities, one must date back to the rise and birth of Christianity and Islam. Throughout the course of this essay, I will compare the many facets that show the alikeness between these two growing religions.

In this paper the purpose is to take two religions, to find similarities and differences between the two. The two world religions chosen are Islam and Buddhism, to someone just considering religions, they could be confused, at the surface they could think, that these two religions are so different that one could not find any substantial, and meaningful similarities. Well that thought is a very insider’s view on the facts and histories of religion. as there are differences in each religion which is what makes them unique, there are also similarities which are fascinating and which I intend on explaining for the rest of the length of this paper.

Islam is the second most popular religion in the world. Because of Abrahamic religion Muslims believe that Quran is comprehensive of both Judaism and Christianity. Today there are Muslims everywhere in the world. According to the book of Islam written by Prof. Seyyed Husain Muslims Scholar at the University of Maryland stated, “There are about 1.6 billion Muslims around the world, Muslims constituted about 23% of all people on earth.” In this essay I will discuss about 5 ideas from the interview with Sheikh Amin Ali and youtube video by Pro. Seyyed Hussain Nasr. The 5 ideas that I want to discuss about are the general knowledge about Islam, teaching and practicing of Islam, social problems, the goal of Islam and the time of Prophet Mohammed (pbum).

In this essay, I have made a comparison between the two most renowned world's religions i.e. Buddhism and Islam. In the beginning of the essay, I have given a detailed account of Buddhism and Islam to give a basic knowledge regarding the two faiths. In the next part, I have given a comprehensive comparison of the two religions highlighting their similarities and differences.

Many different works and writings by Al Ghazali are still readily available in a range of different languages as well as countries. This shows that the knowledge of Al Ghazali has impacted upon the religious tradition of Islam and is useful in still fulfilling and educating practising Muslims throughout the world today. His works have continuing relevance throughout the world and continue to teach positivism in being a good Muslim, particularly to Sunni and Sufi members.

The world’s fastest growing religion that originated in the Middle East may have a lot more in common with a philosopher from Ancient Greece than many may think. Although Islam came many years after Plato, and originated in a completely different part of the world, they have major key similarities. Some of these similarities include both of their views on the soul, Plato’s philosophy and Sharia (Islamic Law), and their view on the concept of moral absolutism. The astounding similarities will be discussed further in the following paragraphs.

Islam is a widespread religion in the world and probably the only religion which has a set of laws that are followed by its members to the book. Likewise, the Islamic religion focuses on the preservation of self and community to follow moral values, the Shari’ah was introduced by Prophet Mohammad as a guideline to be a true and devout Muslim. Furthermore, Shari’ah or the path to religious beliefs will be discussed further in detail in reference to its definition, origins, sources, and its relevance in the contemporary world. On the other hand, Tariqa is defined as leading those who obeyed Shari’ah to walk on God’s path which is considered as a leader who can take you to a path closer to God which will also be discussed in further detail. This essay will discuss in detail the two different aspects, Shari’ah and Tariqa in further details and their connections to each other.
