1. Belief in God.
2. Belief in Angels.
3. Belief in Scripture.
4. Belief in Prophets.
5. Belief in Judgment Day.

3. Quran
Islam teaches:
1) There is one God: Allah.
2) Angels are active in the world.
3) Scripture, the Quran, is the voice of God.
4) God used prophets to deliver His words.
5) On Judgment Day, all will be judged.

4. Holy Bible
The Holy Bible says:
1) There is one God, Creator of all: Jesus.
2) God created and uses angels.
3) Scripture is the Bible’s 66 inspired books.
4) God uses prophets to speak His words.
5) On Judgment Day, all will be judged.

5. The Quran: Belief in God
There is one God: Allah. The Quran
repeats the critical concept that
God is absolutely, individually one,
and nothing created can be
compared to him, including Jesus.
Allah is all-knowing and all-
powerful. His will must be obeyed.

6. The Holy Bible: Belief in God
There is one God, the Creator of
everything. In the Beginning was the
Word. The Word was God. The Word
became flesh as Jesus.

7. The Quran: Belief in Angels
Angels are active in the lives of people.
In the past, they delivered messages to
prophets, like Abraham, Joseph,
Daniel, and Muhammad. Today, a pair
of little angels stay with each person,
recording the actions of their life: One
angel records good deeds, and the
other records bad deeds.

8. The Holy Bible: Belief in Angels
God created angels. One-third of them
were led by Lucifer (Satan) to rebel
against God. The became demons, and
God cast them out of Heaven. God has
used angels to deliver special messages
to people.

9. The Quran: Belief in Scripture
Scripture is the voice of God, as
delivered by Gabriel to
Muhammad and assembled into
the Quran. It was spoken and
written in Arabic, and remains
unchanged to this day.

10. The Holy Bible: Belief in Scripture
Scripture is the printed message of
God, 66 books written by men inspired
by God's Holy Spirit, some before Jesus
and some after Jesus. God protects
the message, and it cannot change.

11. The Quran: Belief in Prophets
God anointed prophets to deliver
His words. Throughout history,
starting with Adam, there have
been many prophets. Jesus was an
important prophet, born of the
virgin Mary. Muhammad is the last
prophet, and the example of the
perfect man.

12. The Holy Bible: Belief in Prophets
Throughout history God has set aside
special people to speak to and work
through. After Jesus returned to
Heaven, He sent His Holy Spirit to fill
and anoint people as His prophets to
speak His words. Even today, the Holy
Spirit is active in people to prophesy.

13. The Quran: Belief in Judgment Day
Judgment Day is coming for all people.
Each person will have their good and bad
deeds, as recorded by the angels,
weighed on a scale. The eternal destiny
of that person is determined by which
deeds weigh the most. Some good deeds,
like martyrdom, reciting all of the
beautiful names of Allah, and memorizing
the Quran are heavier than others.

14. The Holy Bible: Belief in Judgment Day
On Judgment Day, Jesus taught,
everyone who ever lived will stand
before God and be separated, like a
shepherd separates sheep and goats.
The sheep are the ones who showed
material love to the needy, and are
welcomed into Heaven. The goats are
the ones who ignored the needy, and
they are sent to eternal punishment.
