Worldview Vs Islam Origin
In the Islamic worldview answers the question of origin by stating that an all-powerful God created the heavens, the earth and everything within it in six days. According to the Quran, Allah created man from clay and Allah breathed into him his soul (Qur’38:71-72). The question of origin is answered in a very similar manner in the biblical worldview. Islam would also show reverence to Allah as God versus the Holy Trinity as believed in the biblical worldview.
The Islam religion does believe that Allah created mankind, however based off of some of the text in the Qur’an it can be alleged that the Islamic worldview accepts theistic evolution as part of their creation account. Muslims believe that animals can praise Allah, but not in the same fashion as mankind. Islam believes it is prohibited to abuse animals; on the other hand there is no restrictions on eating animals. In contrast to the Islam beliefs, the biblical Christian worldview believes that God alone uniquely created mankind in his likeness to rule over the animals and to take care of his earth (Genesis 5:1).

The Islamic worldview believes Judaism and Christianity had truth at a point in time and now the Bible is corrupted. Muslims believed that Allah used the Angel Gabriel to reveal Islam’s sacred text to their Prophet Muhammed. Allah’s will is for mankind to obey the teachings of the Qur’an and to know that Allah is one. In total disagreement with the Islamic worldview, Christian’s believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God. The biblical worldview believes that mankind’s purpose is to have an intimate and personal relationship with God and to glorify the Father, the Son, and the Holy

    Christianity and Islam are two of the most practiced religions in the world, and have been for centuries. These two faiths are both monotheistic, which means they worship one God, or Allah. Started over 2000 years ago, Christianity is based on the teachings and life of Jesus Christ and was spread throughout the Roman Empire. The religion of Islam began early in 600 C.E. by the prophet Muhammad, and he spread the word of Allah. These religions spread quickly in Europe and the Middle East. As they progressed, new trading routes came about in these areas. Overtime, Christianity and Islam developed opinions about the trading and businesses activity and the people who pursued it.

    Islam and Christianity share a lot of similarities and differences. One of the most important similarities that they share is that they are both universal religions. Both Islam and Christianity are monotheistic religions, believing in only one god, which is also believed by some religions researchers to be the same god, but referred with different nominatives. In the Christian religion it is referred to as "Christ" and in the Islam religion it is referred to as "Allah". They do not only share these little similarities, but much more: like the beginning of the religions. In both holy books: the Bible for Christians and the Qur'an for Muslims, it is described the creation of the earth in the very first's chapters. The Bible, as the Qur'an states that Christ created the world in six days; in the other hand the Qur'an states the same thing, but using the nominative of Allah instead than Christ. As time advanced many differences born between Christianity and Islam.…

    The biblical worldview upholds that God ceased from what He was doing and created man. All else, God declared into actuality, but with man He had taken on a more involved role, created him from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into him (Genesis 2:7 New Living Translation). Man was given rule over all earthy creation. Even though the last to be created, man is first of the earthly hierarchy. Above all, the only to be designed in His image. Being appointed to rule over creation, meant to take care of it as well, which included the animals (Genesis 1:28-31 New International…

    ANSWER: Some of the similarities between the Bible, the Qur’an and the Torah are that they are all viewed by the people in each faith to give spiritual guidance to understand the history of their faith. They also talk about God and the history of their faith. Their differences are that the Torah writes talks about the “old testament” which talks about the revelations of moses. The Bible talks about the “old testament” found in the Torah and also what the Christians call the “new testament” which talks about the history and teachings of Jesus. The Qur’an talks about what is to be considered the literal word of Allah. It also has Muhammad’s teachings.…

    Origin is a question that we all have asked ourselves and some point in life. 'Where did we come from?” or “how did it all begin?” Theism means everything that exists to include humans as a result of God, the creator God. We as Theists, believe that God exists, one God exists.(Consider, Dr. Lew Weider & Dr. Ben Gutierrez pg.55) The Bible says In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1) so this explains God is the first cause, and there is something rather than nothing. We also know that the Bible says, “Through him all things were made, without him nothing was made that has been made,” (John 1:3) which is why we as Theists also believe that God is the Creator.…
