Christianity vs. Islam

Christianity and Islam are two of the world’s most populous religions. Both are different in today’s beliefs but similar in origin.

Like every other religion or philosophy, Islam also claims to be the one and only true way to God. The religion of Islam teaches that in order to achieve true peace of mind and surety of heart, one must submit to God or “Allah” and live according to His Divinely revealed Law. Being a Muslim requires willful submission and active obedience to God and living in accordance with His message. Muslims believe all of God’s prophets, who include Abraham, Noah, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad brought the same message of Pure Monotheism.

For example, both books testify that Jesus is ‘The Word sent by God’, was born from the Virgin Mary, and is sinless. The Qur’an also acknowledges the Torah (the Law of Moses), Psalms of David, the writings of the Old Testament prophets, and the Injil (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) as inspired Holy Scriptures from God in which we should follow as does the Bible.
