Historically, the roots of Islam and Christianity grow from similar philosophical, theological, cultural, and geographical underpinnings. Both Christianity and Islamic sacred scriptures (Holy Bible and Quran or Alcoran) note that creation of mankind and the origin of the universe was the action of one God. Whatever Christianity and Islamic faith differences are, these two major world religions have sacred documents that in essence recapitulate on a number of different subjects. However, Islam and Christianity are always used to describe very diverse groups of people and certainly very diverse theologies.…
These similarities and differences between the religious basics of the Islamic and Christian faith affected the impact and spread of the religions. The start of both religions started in a time when other religions were popular. This affected how it spread. People (missionaries) had to go out and spread the religion so that people would convert and the religion would stay alive. This caused cultural diffusion, so there are many different types (versions) of each religion.…
The major religions of the Western world share similarities as a result of their shared heritage, but are also very different due to their divergence from that heritage. All three started with the same stories that are found in the Judaic Torah. Adam, Eve, Abraham, and Noah all exist in the culture of all of these religions.

Christianity and Islam are very unique in their own way. Christians believed the Jesus Christ is God and the Savior; they believe that He was God as man. One the other hand Islam believed in the Prophet Muhammad, they did not think he was a God but just a prophet hence his name Prophet.

The Tanach was written in Hebrew, The Qur’an in Arabic and The New Testament in Greek. The content in each of these texts are quite similar, with similar stories and characters.…
Well honestly there are differences but there are also similarities. Islam has one god just like the Christian religion. The Islamic God, Allah, is believed to be the Creator of all creatures and mankind, similar to the beliefs that Christianity has about God. However, unlike Christianity there is only Allah, there is no Jesus per say. “And Allah makes none to share in His decisions and His rule.” (Holy Quran 18:26). Also unlike the Christian God, it is believed that Allah does not sleep or get tired but like the Christian god he has no weakness nor weariness. In the Bible it says that God rested after the final day of creating the Heaven’s and the Earth, meaning he can get weary. Although there are differences in these two religions it is believed that they both worship the same God. (The Islamic Bulletin, n.d.)…

(Second) you better not say God's name in vain, don’t do it , abstain. (Third) put your parents on a pedestal, what they do for you is unforgettable. (Fourth) do NOT murder, God is not a supporter. (Fifth) you must do without, the Five-Finger discount and the last (sixth) difference is that the truth must be told, or your nose will grow like Pinocchio; in contrast the differences from Islam is: Going to Makkah is something you can’t dodge to take a trip and go to the…
