Comparing Islam And Christianity And Islam
Every religion consists of separate beliefs that determine how they view the world and how they approach situations. Although some beliefs may
overlap, there are still details that will be different due to preconceptions and fundamental beliefs. Comparing and contrasting Islam and Christianity, is
a wonderful example of these differences based on fundamental beliefs. This concept is explored in the rest of this work through critically accessing
Christian and Muslim views on the question of origin, identity, meaning and purpose, morality, and destiny.Islam and Christianity are in agreement that
the origin of both living things and man were created by God himself. The Qu 'ran states that Allah (God) created the heavens and earth in six ... Show

This means that man is above animals, but they are meant to respect and care for them. Muslims are taught that animals should be respected and they
should only slaughter them in a proper Islamic manner (Abdul–Rahman, 2004). It is also explained to them that they may only bring harm to animals
that may be eaten, or else they must seek forgiveness from Allah (Abdul–Rahman, 2004). In the bible, it is explained that man was created above the
earth and animals, but it is importance that man appreciates his creations (Gutierrez, 2014). It is inferred that Christians should be activists for animal
rights, but it is not clearly stated (Weider & Gutierrez, 2014). Although Christians are meant to do good and treat Gods creations well, they believe
they are destined to stray from this because of the "original sin" of man (Nigosian, 2004;2003). Therefore, many Christians explain that being human
means that you are an imperfect sinner. Muslims do not share this idea. Islam explains that sin is not innate and that individuals have the ability to
either do good or bad and that it is their responsibility to make the right decision (Nigosian, 2004;2003). Their ideas of predestined sin, lead to many
fundamental differences in beliefs. Although both religions state that humans were created to be rulers of earth, they have differing beliefs on man's
capability of doing good and different expectations. Allah accepts a

Comparing Religions And Beliefs Of Christianity And Islam
Christianity and Islam have a lot in common. One of the many is they are both monotheistic religions. Both religions teach the same things like respect
and tolerance. "Muslims and Christians have much in common in our mutual interests in governing families and in educating children in virtue and in
knowledge of the good, and in these areas, we have the basis for a building block of harmony between us (Kleven, 2013)."
Followers of Christianity are called Christians. Christians believe that the son of God, Christ, walked the earth as an incarnate of God. Christians
believe at the end of the world that Christ will return. We also believe in the deity of Jesus. Christian worship: The father, son and holy spirit.
Scripture comes from The Holy Bible. Christians worship in personal dwellings, churches, chapels, cathedrals. It was originated in Judea, a roman
province. Christians believe original sin was created by Adam. Mankind needs forgiveness for this inherited sin. Christians choose their actions by
knowing what's right and what's wrong. Christians believe that we are in need of salvation and should be repaired by God. Practice such as: prayer,
communion, sacraments, worship in church, reading of the bible and acts of charity. Christian clergies consist of: nuns, ministers, monks, bishops and
priest. They believe it is life after death. You will spend eternity in Heaven or eternity in Hell. Marriage is a holy sacrament for Christians. Mary is the

Comparing Islam And Baha ' I And Islam
It's incredible how two religions can be so different yet so similar. Whether it be the various branches of Christianity, the Chinese religions, or even
Judaism and Islam, they have so much in common when you work down to the roots of the religions. For starters, I will be comparing Islam and
Baha'i. Part of the reason that Baha'i and Islam are so similar is because Baha'i gets its start from some of the base beliefs of Islam. Some of the
similarities between the two are the fact that both have obligatory prayers. With Islam, a believer would pray five times a day. They pray at daybreak,
noon, mid–afternoon, sunset, and evening. When Muslims do their prayers, there are specific movements and gestures involved. Also they must face
Mecca, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The Islamic faith has taken a firm stance on their belief of Baha'i. They take the teachings of the Baha'i religion as the teachings of heretics. Muslims
have ridiculed, persecuted, and executed followers of this faith since 1850, when they executed the Bab.
The similarities of these two religions are uncanny. They are so closely related, and the differences seem so miniscule, at least to the eye of an
outsider looking in. When it come to the prayer life of members of the two religions, they are almost identical. They both pray multiple times a day,
prayer is obligatory for both, there are movements and gestures to go along with the prayers, the prayers are done facing a certain location, either
Mecca or Qiblih, and they are both rooted from the same region in the world. In all reality the only major difference causing these two religions to
tear each other apart, is what they believe about the manifestation of Allah. Other than that they are both monotheistic, follow teachings from the
prophet Mohammad, and have a regulated form of prayer for members of the religion to follow. So like I said at the start, like any religion and/or its
branches, they can be practically identical, but so very different at the same time.
There are three major monotheistic religions still in practice today. They are Islam, Judaism, and

Comparing Christianity And Islam
Christianity and Islam are both well–known and respected religions, whose teachings share many similarities as well as many differences. First we
are going to discuss Christianity and their beliefs. The word Christians is defined as a follower or disciples of Jesus Christ. According to The
Bible, Jesus Christ was born from Marry, who was a virgin, this was only made possible by the Holy Spirit. Therefore he was not just man, but he
was also God at once. In The Bible it is written in Matthew 1:23, "The virgin will be pregnant. She will have a son, and they will name him
Immanuel", which means, "God is with us." Jesus Christ, God and the Holy Spirit are three in one, known as the trinity. Christians believe that God sent

Angels, which are defined as unseen beings who carry out Gods orders throughout the universe. Gabriel the angel who came to visit Muhammad is a
key figure in Christianity and Islam. We can go all the way to the beginning, when sin was first developed, when Adam disobeyed God and cursed all
of man with death. Christians and Muslims believe that starting with Adam, God appointed messengers, or prophets, throughout history to spread God's
word and to teach the world about him. Another thing they agree upon is judgement day and the hereafter life. They believe that when judgment day
comes that God will come back and Judge everyone, humans will be judged for their actions on earth and be held accountable and those who rejected
him will be sent to hell, which brings me to the Ten Commandments, which are ten moral laws.
Though the Ten Commandments are not specified in the Quran, nine of the Ten Commandments are quoted throughout the Quran. For example, the
first pillar and the first commandment start with "there is only one, God, only worship that God." Another important thing that they have in common is
they both worship the God of Abraham. They both believe in Satan. Though their beliefs share similarities, they also have differences as

Usually, Christians go to a church, usually one that corresponds with what they personally believe, or one their family is associated with. Church is
where they worship God, and learn and associate with other believers. Many go to church on Sunday, but usually there are other gatherings throughout
the week, based on the church and the denominations beliefs on how much church a follower should get. Christians usually separate church and state,
because they are supposed to. The church is considered "holy" and the state is considered "secular." Most Christians celebrate Christmas as the birth
of Christ, and Easter as the resurrection of Jesus, and they also celebrate other holidays. In most denominations, women are considered equal as men,
knowing that God created all men equal. The rules on marriage are different according to the denomination. Some believe you should only marry
someone from your own church, and some are okay with just marrying the person you love, whether or not he or she is in the church. Christians are
also usually not racist, because, again, they believe God created all men equal. Sometimes, a person will leave their church for certain reasons, and
there are many different reactions to a person leaving, all according to the denomination/church. In some religions you are shunned, and the remaining

Muhammad ,and later by Muslim states, on the wealthy members of the community, primarily to help the poor. The fourth duty is the fast of the month

Comparing Christianity and Islam
Peace, a state of tranquility and harmony both within one's self and the world, is more than just an absence of war but rather the creation of a
harmonious relationship between the individual, God and their neighbours. Christianity and Islam are both religious traditions that have their sacred
texts, the Bible and the Quran and Hadith respectively, as the foundation stones to guiding its adherents to a life of inner–peace. This is achieved
through following the principal teachings and taking part in the significant practices whilst following a comprehensive ethical structure as stated in
their sacred texts.
Both Christianity and Islam strive to emphasise the achievement of inner–peace within their adherents and thus to achieve world peace. In Christianity,
the New Testament of the Bible refer to the Greek word for peace, 'Eirene', meaning 'to be in harmony with one another' in every one of its books
except for the First Letter of John. In Islam, the adherent must live in peace with God and His creation in order to submit to the will of Allah. Thus,
living a life of peace is essential in Christianity and Islam as the sacred texts and principal teachings provide guidance for adherents.
Christian adherents view peace as the result from forming right relationships between the individual, God and their neighbours. Living virtuously and
maintaining a real relationship with God achieves inner–peace. Christians believe that through the teachings of the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3–10),

Comparing Christianity And Islam : Christianity Vs. Islam
The world consists of many different faiths and religions. Two that dominate the earth are Christianity and Islam. In the early life of each religion, there
was major conflict between the two. Throughout the nearly fifteen centuries of Muslim–Christian encounter, individual adherents of both traditions
often have lived peaceably with each other. At the same time, Muslim expansion into Christian territories and Christian imperialism in Muslims lands
have fostered fear and ill–will on both sides. Repercussions from the Crusades continue to resound in the contemporary rhetoric employed by defenders
of both faiths. In recent years relations between Muslims and Christians across the globe have become increasingly polarized, fanned by anti–Islamic
rhetoric and fearmongering. While several verses in the Qur'an call for treating Christians and Jews with respect as recipients of God's divine message,
in reality many Muslims have found it difficult not to see Christians as polytheists because of their doctrine of the Trinity. Christians, for their part,
traditionally have viewed the Qur'an as fraudulent and Muhammad as an imposter. (smith). Each of these faiths will continue to spread throughout
earth. Although Christianity and Islam differ from one another, they share many similarities. One similarity that Islam and Christianity share is the

Comparing Judaism, Islam, And Christianity
Throughout the course we have established that all religions are not one and the same. Major religions such as Judaism, Islam, and Christianity share
some similarities. All three religions believe in God, have a Holy book, and each have a central prayer. Judaism has the Shema, Islam has the Shahada,
and Christianity has the "Lord's Prayer". Ultimately, each prayer is a reaffirmation of faith and the fundamental values of their religion.
The first paragraph of the Shema states:
You shall love the L–rd your G–d with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I command you today shall
be upon your heart. You shall teach them thoroughly to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on
the road, when you lie down and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for a reminder between your eyes.
And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates. (Deuteronomy 6: 5–9).

In Christianity, Jesus is considered to be the Word of God whose word should be worshipped and followed without question. As the founder of
Christianity and the second entity of the Trinity, Jesus acts as the leader of The Christian Faith. In Sermon on the Mount, Jesus delivered the
doctrine to the people, to tell them what to do and what not to do. In Nicene Creed, "...For our sake he was crucified...he suffered death and was
buried. On the third day he rose again...he ascended into heaven..." As the medium between God and human beings, Jesus does not only deliver
Word of God, but also sacrificed himself for all the sins of mankind. He fulfilled his mission to reconcile man to God. Unlike Christianity, Judaism
and Islam do not think Jesus is god. Muslims take Jesus, called Isa in The Quran, as the most important prophet who was sent by Allah and born of
the Virgin Mary, but not divine. He was sent to proclaim the gospel that has been corrupted over time by human additions and alterations. After
Jesus fulfilled his mission, he was was raised to Heaven by Allah. Since the belief of the absolute unity and oneness of God, Judaism forbids the
worship of any person as idolatry. In Hebrew Bible, Jesus is less important than he is in Quran. He is considered an ordinary Jew who is either

Jesus says in his sermon, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my
Father who is in heaven." You have to do the will of God in order to get to heaven. In the law of Karma, the Hindu faith believes when you do well
on earth that you can be reincarnated into something better than when you were here on earth. Of course since good things happen to those who do
good, bad things happen to those who don't do as well. For Christians, the not so good people can go to hell, and in the Hindu faith the non–believers

to repent from their sins and gain forgiveness from God. Conversely, in Islam there is no atonement from sins withAllah, though they still repent and

descriptions of heaven vary significantly. Christians believe that heaven is the dwelling place of God, and fellowship with Him provides the
unimaginable happiness associated with heaven. Muslims hold a more worldly belief of heaven; a state of perpetual bliss, rewarding Muslims who
have lived righteous lives. This blissful heaven fulfils its occupants' earthly desires, including rewards such as dozens of virgins awaiting martyrs of
Islam. The key difference between these two views of heaven is the nature of their rewards; while Islam provides earthly gifts to deserving Muslims,
the Christian heaven provides spiritual satisfaction to those Christians who have maintained the faith.

We humans have no real idea how life comes into being, our brains are not complex enough to understand life, and therefore we should not mess
around with it. Islam quite clearly says that only God has the divine right to take life, as it is he who gave it to us in the first place.
Euthanasia may be known as 'mercy killing' but from the point of a Muslim this does not exist. Mercy killing sounds as if a life is being taken as it
is the only and best option in a certain situation. Even if a person has an incurable disease, Islam teaches us to make that persons last days on Earth as
comfortable as you can. We should fulfill all the wishes of that person, and we should try and ease the pain as much as we can. Euthanasia is never an
option!
Islam teaches us that we are only in this world for a limited period. This life is only a blink of an eye compared to the hereafter. This life is a test,
and if we pass it we go to heaven. All the illnesses that we encounter are part of this test, and most of all it is a test of our faith. If our faith is strong
then we should have the strength to have faith in God and we should eventually overcome it. In Islam we believe that whatever happens, even if it is

These two groups are similar when it comes to being spiritual but they differ significantly when it comes to the political standpoint. The division
between these two goes way back to the death of Muhammad. Sunni means one who follows the traditions of the prophet. They believe that when a
new leader is ready to be elected it should be elected only from people who are capable of doing that job, having the same mindset as most of the
Prophets companions. Whereas, Shia means a supportive party of people. Sunni Muslims typically make up the majority of all Muslims throughout the
world. The Shia Muslim's believe that the leadership position should be passed down to his relative specifically his cousin or Son–in–law. They do not

Muhammad. Shia Muslims can mostly be found in Iran and Iraq and other large

Comparing Islam And Abrahamic Religions : Christianity And...
Religion has had an enormous impact on the lives of every human being. In its wake, religion has provided a code of morals for people to live by,
given inspiration to many of the world's most gifted artists, and has united civilization under common beliefs. Above all else, religion helps answer
the age old question of what is our purpose on Earth. Although it has allowed civilizations to prosper and rise to unimaginable heights, religion has
also been divisive and has created great rifts between cultures. Two of the greatest religions of the modern era are that of Christianity and Islam. Both
have the same origins and similar messages of peace, yet their differences have caused events such as war, genocide, and other atrocities. Although
Christianity and Islam share many of the same lessons of tranquility and love, they have also been used by many to justify unspeakable acts of
violence against each other. Islam and Christianity are inherently violent, not because of the message they preach, but because of the unique
interpretations by some of their followers. Christianity and Islam are known as "Abrahamic Religions," because they originated from the first prophet
Abraham, yet they are very different. Christianity began as a following of the "Messiah," or savior, Jesus Christ. Common belief is that Jesus was sent
to Earth by God to suffer for the sins of man–kind. The holy book for Christians is the Bible. There are many versions of the Bible, but all describe

Comparing Adam And Eve In Islam And Christianity
Adam and Eve in Islam and Christianity The Bible and the Quran tell the story of the creation of the first man, Adam and first women Eve or in
Arabic Hawa. The background behind Adam And Eve are similar but different in Islam and Christianity. It begins by telling the people how the
world started and how we as humans were created. Christians believe that Adam was made from dust, Muslims believe that Adam was made from
Soil. In the Bible, the creation of Eve says she was the only woman created from a man. The Qur'an does not say that Eve was created from Adam's
rib, but says that she was created from "of like nature." The creation of Eve is not described in the Quran. The Quran says that Eve was created for
Adam to have a "mate" and that she was also made from the same nature and soul. Direct quote from the Quran about woman "Treat women kindly.
Woman has been created from a rib and the most curved part of the rib is the uppermost. If you try to straighten it, you will break it and if you leave it
alone, it will remain curved. So, treat women kindly" (Al–Bukhari and Muslim). The rib reflects that all women differed from Adam and was unique.
The bible describes Eve made from Adams rib to be Adams companion. Directly quoted from the bible "And the rib that the LordGod had taken from
the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man" (Genesis 2:22). They were both made to fulfill each other and to not be alone on earth.

Comparing The Five Pillars Of Islam
The pillars of Islam are based off the prophets, and they all build the fundamentals to being a Muslim. The five pillars of Islam include Faith
(Shahada), Prayer (Salat), Charity (Zakat), Fasting (Sawm), and Pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj), the five pillars are the framework of the entire faith
(Ayoub 2017). Muslims believe that the pillars came to be at the time of the prophet, what bestowed the religion to them, and the five pillars helped
the religion succeed after the prophet's death (Ayoub 2017). These pillars symbolized attribution to the prophets in the orthodox faith and to others a
person's admission into the Muslim community. The pillars were created for acts of devotion and practices for the Muslim faith (Ayoub 2017).
Although the pillars are based on the Muslim faith, some beliefs relating to the pillars show in other religions. Faith, prayer and fasting are a few of
the pillars of Islam but they are not exclusive to only Muslims, they are also present within Christian beliefs and practices.
The first pillar of Islam is Shahada, also known as faith, which in the Arabic language means testimony. Shahada holds two key parts, one being that
nothing deserves to be worshiped except Allah, and the second being that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah (Mufti 2006). These two key parts are
the testimony to the Muslim faith, and every Muslim must make that declaration before joining the community (Mufti 2006). When talking about faith

The founder of Islam is known to be prophet Mohammad. Muhammad was born a member of the tribe of Quraysh with of humble origin. Muhammad
was born in 570, unfortunately the people he was in care died before his teenage years. When Muhammad turned twenty–five, the year 610 was the
most remarkable day of his life, in a cave in Mount Hira, he had a vision in which God spoke through angel Gabriel, commanding Muhammad to
become the prophet of a new and true religion. As from then on, Muhammad began to receive a lifetime of religious visions, which he and other
prophets compiled together that later became the framework of the Quran. As a result of his revelations from God, Muhammad had gathered a
significant number of converts in Mecca. However, Mecca was known for its investment in preserving its paganism. Due to the increase in conversion,
officials in Mecca plotted Muhammad's assassination, subsequently causing him to flee to another city Medina. Fortunately, when he arrived at Medina

heritage was starting to split. During this times Christianity, a branch of Judaism, was founded by Jesus. People who believed Jesus was the messiah,

religions believe in the same God, but Christians believe that God is part of the holy trinity. Muslims do not accept this as part of their faith. Despite
how similar these two religions are, Muslims and Christians continue to argue about their beliefs. Christians believe that Jesus was the son of God,
given birth from the virgin Mary, and was sent to save us from our sins. Part of the Christian faith is after Jesus spread his message and performed
various miracles, he was crucified, died, and then was resurrected three days later. This belief creates the Christian religion in a sense, because without

Comparing Islam And Christianity And Islam

  • 1. Comparing Islam And Christianity And Islam Every religion consists of separate beliefs that determine how they view the world and how they approach situations. Although some beliefs may overlap, there are still details that will be different due to preconceptions and fundamental beliefs. Comparing and contrasting Islam and Christianity, is a wonderful example of these differences based on fundamental beliefs. This concept is explored in the rest of this work through critically accessing Christian and Muslim views on the question of origin, identity, meaning and purpose, morality, and destiny.Islam and Christianity are in agreement that the origin of both living things and man were created by God himself. The Qu 'ran states that Allah (God) created the heavens and earth in six ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This means that man is above animals, but they are meant to respect and care for them. Muslims are taught that animals should be respected and they should only slaughter them in a proper Islamic manner (Abdul–Rahman, 2004). It is also explained to them that they may only bring harm to animals that may be eaten, or else they must seek forgiveness from Allah (Abdul–Rahman, 2004). In the bible, it is explained that man was created above the earth and animals, but it is importance that man appreciates his creations (Gutierrez, 2014). It is inferred that Christians should be activists for animal rights, but it is not clearly stated (Weider & Gutierrez, 2014). Although Christians are meant to do good and treat Gods creations well, they believe they are destined to stray from this because of the "original sin" of man (Nigosian, 2004;2003). Therefore, many Christians explain that being human means that you are an imperfect sinner. Muslims do not share this idea. Islam explains that sin is not innate and that individuals have the ability to either do good or bad and that it is their responsibility to make the right decision (Nigosian, 2004;2003). Their ideas of predestined sin, lead to many fundamental differences in beliefs. Although both religions state that humans were created to be rulers of earth, they have differing beliefs on man's capability of doing good and different expectations. Allah accepts a ...

  • 2. Comparing Religions And Beliefs Of Christianity And Islam Christianity and Islam have a lot in common. One of the many is they are both monotheistic religions. Both religions teach the same things like respect and tolerance. "Muslims and Christians have much in common in our mutual interests in governing families and in educating children in virtue and in knowledge of the good, and in these areas, we have the basis for a building block of harmony between us (Kleven, 2013)." Followers of Christianity are called Christians. Christians believe that the son of God, Christ, walked the earth as an incarnate of God. Christians believe at the end of the world that Christ will return. We also believe in the deity of Jesus. Christian worship: The father, son and holy spirit. Scripture comes from The Holy Bible. Christians worship in personal dwellings, churches, chapels, cathedrals. It was originated in Judea, a roman province. Christians believe original sin was created by Adam. Mankind needs forgiveness for this inherited sin. Christians choose their actions by knowing what's right and what's wrong. Christians believe that we are in need of salvation and should be repaired by God. Practice such as: prayer, communion, sacraments, worship in church, reading of the bible and acts of charity. Christian clergies consist of: nuns, ministers, monks, bishops and priest. They believe it is life after death. You will spend eternity in Heaven or eternity in Hell. Marriage is a holy sacrament for Christians. Mary is the mother of God. Abraham is ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Comparing Islam And Baha ' I And Islam It's incredible how two religions can be so different yet so similar. Whether it be the various branches of Christianity, the Chinese religions, or even Judaism and Islam, they have so much in common when you work down to the roots of the religions. For starters, I will be comparing Islam and Baha'i. Part of the reason that Baha'i and Islam are so similar is because Baha'i gets its start from some of the base beliefs of Islam. Some of the similarities between the two are the fact that both have obligatory prayers. With Islam, a believer would pray five times a day. They pray at daybreak, noon, mid–afternoon, sunset, and evening. When Muslims do their prayers, there are specific movements and gestures involved. Also they must face Mecca, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The Islamic faith has taken a firm stance on their belief of Baha'i. They take the teachings of the Baha'i religion as the teachings of heretics. Muslims have ridiculed, persecuted, and executed followers of this faith since 1850, when they executed the Bab. The similarities of these two religions are uncanny. They are so closely related, and the differences seem so miniscule, at least to the eye of an outsider looking in. When it come to the prayer life of members of the two religions, they are almost identical. They both pray multiple times a day, prayer is obligatory for both, there are movements and gestures to go along with the prayers, the prayers are done facing a certain location, either Mecca or Qiblih, and they are both rooted from the same region in the world. In all reality the only major difference causing these two religions to tear each other apart, is what they believe about the manifestation of Allah. Other than that they are both monotheistic, follow teachings from the prophet Mohammad, and have a regulated form of prayer for members of the religion to follow. So like I said at the start, like any religion and/or its branches, they can be practically identical, but so very different at the same time. There are three major monotheistic religions still in practice today. They are Islam, Judaism, and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Comparing Christianity And Islam Christianity and Islam are both well–known and respected religions, whose teachings share many similarities as well as many differences. First we are going to discuss Christianity and their beliefs. The word Christians is defined as a follower or disciples of Jesus Christ. According to The Bible, Jesus Christ was born from Marry, who was a virgin, this was only made possible by the Holy Spirit. Therefore he was not just man, but he was also God at once. In The Bible it is written in Matthew 1:23, "The virgin will be pregnant. She will have a son, and they will name him Immanuel", which means, "God is with us." Jesus Christ, God and the Holy Spirit are three in one, known as the trinity. Christians believe that God sent Jesus Christ to save ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Angels, which are defined as unseen beings who carry out Gods orders throughout the universe. Gabriel the angel who came to visit Muhammad is a key figure in Christianity and Islam. We can go all the way to the beginning, when sin was first developed, when Adam disobeyed God and cursed all of man with death. Christians and Muslims believe that starting with Adam, God appointed messengers, or prophets, throughout history to spread God's word and to teach the world about him. Another thing they agree upon is judgement day and the hereafter life. They believe that when judgment day comes that God will come back and Judge everyone, humans will be judged for their actions on earth and be held accountable and those who rejected him will be sent to hell, which brings me to the Ten Commandments, which are ten moral laws. Though the Ten Commandments are not specified in the Quran, nine of the Ten Commandments are quoted throughout the Quran. For example, the first pillar and the first commandment start with "there is only one, God, only worship that God." Another important thing that they have in common is they both worship the God of Abraham. They both believe in Satan. Though their beliefs share similarities, they also have differences as ...

  • 5. Comparing Christianity and Islam Essay Comparing Christianity and Islam Christianity and Islam are two of the fastest growing religions, and they both have a lot in common. In this essay I will explain their differences and similarities, their messages, how they treat their believers and other religions, their historical relationship, and other topics along these lines. I will start this essay by explaining Christianity, and many things about it. The word "Christianity" itself, means "Believer in Christ." If you are a believer in this religion, you are called a "Christian". There are many different denominations of this religion, and the things they share are the belief that the Bible is the Word of God, and that Jesus Christ was the savior sent by God through ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Usually, Christians go to a church, usually one that corresponds with what they personally believe, or one their family is associated with. Church is where they worship God, and learn and associate with other believers. Many go to church on Sunday, but usually there are other gatherings throughout the week, based on the church and the denominations beliefs on how much church a follower should get. Christians usually separate church and state, because they are supposed to. The church is considered "holy" and the state is considered "secular." Most Christians celebrate Christmas as the birth of Christ, and Easter as the resurrection of Jesus, and they also celebrate other holidays. In most denominations, women are considered equal as men, knowing that God created all men equal. The rules on marriage are different according to the denomination. Some believe you should only marry someone from your own church, and some are okay with just marrying the person you love, whether or not he or she is in the church. Christians are also usually not racist, because, again, they believe God created all men equal. Sometimes, a person will leave their church for certain reasons, and there are many different reactions to a person leaving, all according to the denomination/church. In some religions you are shunned, and the remaining members are not allowed to talk to you without getting any of their own consequences. Christian believers usually go to ...

After four years he began to preach openly in his native city of Mecca. Ridiculed by the Meccans, he went to Medina in 622. At his death in 632, Muhammad was the leader of an Arab state growing rapidly in power. The third duty of a Muslim is to pay zakat. This tax was originally levied by Muhammad ,and later by Muslim states, on the wealthy members of the community, primarily to help the poor. The fourth duty is the fast of the month of Ramadan. During the fasting month, one must refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, and sexual intercourse from dawn until sunset. The fifth duty is the pilgrimage to Mecca. Every adult Muslim who is physically and economically able to do so must make this pilgrimage at least once in his or her lifetime. Unlike the other two major religions Judaism evolved form the Israelites who didn't deny the existence of other gods for other nations, though they only worshipped one deity. Its deity was Yahweh, the god of the patriarchs, who was worshipped in a sacrificial cult centered in Jerusalem and later at sanctuaries in the north, where a rival Jewish kingdom was formed. Prophets who warned against the people's reliance on these temple cults saw themselves vindicated when both the northern and southern kingdoms were destroyed by foreign conquerors. The exile of the Judeans to Babylonia in 586 BC was a major turning point in Israelite religion. The prior history of Israel now was reinterpreted ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. Comparing Christianity and Islam Peace, a state of tranquility and harmony both within one's self and the world, is more than just an absence of war but rather the creation of a harmonious relationship between the individual, God and their neighbours. Christianity and Islam are both religious traditions that have their sacred texts, the Bible and the Quran and Hadith respectively, as the foundation stones to guiding its adherents to a life of inner–peace. This is achieved through following the principal teachings and taking part in the significant practices whilst following a comprehensive ethical structure as stated in their sacred texts. Both Christianity and Islam strive to emphasise the achievement of inner–peace within their adherents and thus to achieve world peace. In Christianity, the New Testament of the Bible refer to the Greek word for peace, 'Eirene', meaning 'to be in harmony with one another' in every one of its books except for the First Letter of John. In Islam, the adherent must live in peace with God and His creation in order to submit to the will of Allah. Thus, living a life of peace is essential in Christianity and Islam as the sacred texts and principal teachings provide guidance for adherents. Christian adherents view peace as the result from forming right relationships between the individual, God and their neighbours. Living virtuously and maintaining a real relationship with God achieves inner–peace. Christians believe that through the teachings of the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3–10), ...

  • 8. Comparing Christianity And Islam : Christianity Vs. Islam The world consists of many different faiths and religions. Two that dominate the earth are Christianity and Islam. In the early life of each religion, there was major conflict between the two. Throughout the nearly fifteen centuries of Muslim–Christian encounter, individual adherents of both traditions often have lived peaceably with each other. At the same time, Muslim expansion into Christian territories and Christian imperialism in Muslims lands have fostered fear and ill–will on both sides. Repercussions from the Crusades continue to resound in the contemporary rhetoric employed by defenders of both faiths. In recent years relations between Muslims and Christians across the globe have become increasingly polarized, fanned by anti–Islamic rhetoric and fearmongering. While several verses in the Qur'an call for treating Christians and Jews with respect as recipients of God's divine message, in reality many Muslims have found it difficult not to see Christians as polytheists because of their doctrine of the Trinity. Christians, for their part, traditionally have viewed the Qur'an as fraudulent and Muhammad as an imposter. (smith). Each of these faiths will continue to spread throughout earth. Although Christianity and Islam differ from one another, they share many similarities. One similarity that Islam and Christianity share is the place of worship. In the Islamic faith, Muslims go to the Mosque to conduct their daily prayer routine. A mosque may be in a clean area. On ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 9. Comparing Judaism, Islam, And Christianity Throughout the course we have established that all religions are not one and the same. Major religions such as Judaism, Islam, and Christianity share some similarities. All three religions believe in God, have a Holy book, and each have a central prayer. Judaism has the Shema, Islam has the Shahada, and Christianity has the "Lord's Prayer". Ultimately, each prayer is a reaffirmation of faith and the fundamental values of their religion. The first paragraph of the Shema states: You shall love the L–rd your G–d with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I command you today shall be upon your heart. You shall teach them thoroughly to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road, when you lie down and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for a reminder between your eyes. And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates. (Deuteronomy 6: 5–9). Traditionally, Jews are required to recite the Shema first thing in the morning and at night. The very first verse is recited out loud with covered eyes in order to block out any distractions. By doing so, they are ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

  • 10. Comparing Judaism, Islam, And Christianity Muhammad Ali, the famous boxer and a renown activist for religious freedom, stated these words: "Rivers, ponds, lakes, and streams– they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do– they all contain truths." There are many different religions. Christianity holds about 2.1 billion followers. Islam has about 1.3 billion members, and Judaism has about 14 million followers. That means about 54 percent of people in the world believe one of these three religions.These three religions' followers are looking for the truth. Since they start out very similar, some people think all those religions are variations of the truth. Judaism, Islam, and Christianity come from the same history; however, they branch out into three different beliefs. Even though these three views received the same founding truth, two of these belief systems fall short of following out the truth handed to them. Only Christianity is the actual truth. The Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities believe ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... They do not believe that Jesus was the Messiah they had been waiting for or God. Their holy book is the Torah, also known as the Pentateuch. These were the five books of the law written by Moses. They talk about the creation until before the Israelites crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land. They believe in the many commandments and traditions found in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Some include being ceremonially unclean, sacrifices, and much more. Also, Jews believe that breaking these laws is a sin. To be forgiven of their sins, they must repent and prayer to God to forgive them of their sins.

  • 11. Comparing Judaism, Christianity And Islam Rui Lu Professor Jennifer Dournaux HUM2210 01 October 2016 Compare and Contrast of Judaism, Christianity and Islam There have been a variety of conflicts in the world since the beginning of the human civilization, many of which get their roots from the beliefs of their different religions. In order to understand and eliminate the conflicts originated from different religions, it is important to take a look at the similarities and differences among Judaism, Christianity and Islam. As the largest three monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam all believe in one God and the uniqueness of that God. At the same time, there are some differences among their beliefs in God. According to 1 John 5:7 – For there are three that bear record ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In Christianity, Jesus is considered to be the Word of God whose word should be worshipped and followed without question. As the founder of Christianity and the second entity of the Trinity, Jesus acts as the leader of The Christian Faith. In Sermon on the Mount, Jesus delivered the doctrine to the people, to tell them what to do and what not to do. In Nicene Creed, "...For our sake he was crucified...he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again...he ascended into heaven..." As the medium between God and human beings, Jesus does not only deliver Word of God, but also sacrificed himself for all the sins of mankind. He fulfilled his mission to reconcile man to God. Unlike Christianity, Judaism and Islam do not think Jesus is god. Muslims take Jesus, called Isa in The Quran, as the most important prophet who was sent by Allah and born of the Virgin Mary, but not divine. He was sent to proclaim the gospel that has been corrupted over time by human additions and alterations. After Jesus fulfilled his mission, he was was raised to Heaven by Allah.

You have to do the will of God in order to get to heaven. In the law of Karma, the Hindu faith believes when you do well on earth that you can be reincarnated into something better than when you were here on earth.

Muslims hold a more worldly belief of heaven; a state of perpetual bliss, rewarding Muslims who have lived righteous lives. This blissful heaven fulfils its occupants' earthly desires, including rewards such as dozens of virgins awaiting martyrs of Islam. The key difference between these two views of heaven is the nature of their rewards; while Islam provides earthly gifts to deserving Muslims, the Christian heaven provides spiritual satisfaction to those Christians who have maintained the faith.

Above all else, religion helps answer the age old question of what is our purpose on Earth. Although it has allowed civilizations to prosper and rise to unimaginable heights, religion has also been divisive and has created great rifts between cultures. Two of the greatest religions of the modern era are that of Christianity and Islam.

So, treat women kindly" (Al–Bukhari and Muslim). The rib reflects that all women differed from Adam and was unique. The bible describes Eve made from Adams rib to be Adams companion.

Muslims believe that the pillars came to be at the time of the prophet, what bestowed the religion to them, and the five pillars helped the religion succeed after the prophet's death (Ayoub 2017). These pillars symbolized attribution to the prophets in the orthodox faith and to others a person's admission into the Muslim community.

Faith, prayer and fasting are a few of the pillars of Islam but they are not exclusive to only Muslims, they are also present within Christian beliefs and practices.

Although the two religions accept this, their view points are quite different. Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet, while Christians believe Jesus was not only the son of God, but also the messiah. Both religions believe in the same God, but Christians believe that God is part of the holy trinity. Muslims do not accept this as part of their faith. Despite how similar these two religions are, Muslims and Christians continue to argue about their beliefs. Christians believe that Jesus was the son of God, given birth from the virgin Mary, and was sent to save us from our sins. Part of the Christian faith is after Jesus spread his message and performed various miracles, he was crucified, died, and then was resurrected three days later. This belief creates the Christian religion in a sense, because without Jesus resurrecting with fulfillment of the scriptures, he could not come back to his disciples and more thoroughly prove that he is the son of God.

This directly goes against the Christian belief of God being part of the holy trinity, where God shares his divinity with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Jesus plays an important role in both religions. In Islam, Jesus is a crucial prophet who performs miracles and delivers God's message, while Christians believe Jesus was the messiah. As the messiah, Christians believe Jesus freed them of their sins by dying on the cross.

  • 37. Comparing The Five Pillars Of Islam The core practices of the Islamic faith, the Five Pillars of Islam, correlate in many ways with Christian practices, but also lend to adaptation requirements for many Muslims living in the United States. These pillars are faith, prayer, giving of alms, fasting, and a pilgrimage to Mecca. Each of these pillars are built around strengthening a person's journey through religious Islamic life. As much tension as there is at times between Christians and Muslims, many of the fundamental religious practices are quite similar. One of the similarities between Christians and Muslims is the practice of faith. Both developed creeds summarizing theological beliefs in God, forming the central foundation of religious life. Building on this foundation, is a lifestyle of prayer central in communicating with God. Though the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... One example is the Muslim prayer life. "Prayer times may conflict with work times, and there may not always be an appropriate place to pray in the workplace. Employers may not always want to make the slight accommodation necessary to allow time for prayers" (Corbett–Hemeyer, p. 208). The five required prayer times do not always fit in with work break schedules, and many Muslims must adapt the time of day that they pray. However, some employers do accommodate these religious practices. While working on a remodel project, I saw how one well known business in Columbus, OH has done a few things to allow Muslims to practice prayer time. First, when remolding restrooms that are used by many Islam followers, the company installed foot washing stations after they learned many employees would try to use the sinks or toilets to wash for prayer. Second, in remolding the break room associated with the restroom remodel, a privacy section was added with several rugs to allow space for private ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

God commands Adam not to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but Eve persuades him to and the act of disobeying God is the original sin. Status of Women/ Gender Equality: The Bible is controversial on the matter of gender equality. There are numerous contradictions about the status of women in Christian society. Historically, the most prominent interpretation has been rather negative toward women. The Christian Church, with principally male authority, emphasizes the idea that women are inferior to man. They focus on Eve's sin leading to a punishment that "her husband will have authority over her." (Drury, 34) Until recently, women were not allowed to preach or even speak in the Christian Church, but in modern times women are beginning to play a more significant.

Followers of the Christian tradition believe that one must believe in God, have faith in Jesus Christ and live good holy lives to be granted the entrance to Heaven. In the bible it states that "by grace through faith in Jesus Christ". (Ephesians 2:8–9) Much like the followers of the Islamic tradition, Christians also believe that those who are unrighteous and reject God and Jesus Christ will be placed in Hell after death. In the Bible it states that Hell is "a place of everlasting punishment for the unrighteous. There is no crossover between Heaven and Hell. (Matthew 25:46).
