Christian and Islam Religions

Many religions have similar beliefs and traditions. Although they believe in the same God, there beliefs in other aspects may be different. Christian and Islamic religions have many of the same thoughts on how the world was created and how it will end. The middle may be a little different but yet the same. Christians believe that God created the heavens and the earth, God created day and night. God created all living breathing creatures. As well as created Human life. Islam religion also believes God created the world and all its creatures. The Islam religion says that God also created angels in the heavens and ordered them to earth to gather 7 handfuls of soil. From those 7 handfuls of soil God would mold and create man. Both religions believe that a woman was then created from man. Islam do not believe in worshiping Jesus they do not see him as divine but just as a human prophet. In Islam and Christianity Jesus coming back to Earth will mean the end of the world. In both religions they do believe in a heaven and a hell and that all will be prosecuted in the end. The difference in what happens after Jesus returns. Christians say that when Jesus returns he will rid the Earth of all the Evil. Muslims believe that Jesus will return and convert the world to Islam. He will kill all Jews and declare himself as a Muslim.
After someone dies Christianity say’s the human body dies but the soul will live forever in heaven if we are saved. That it leaves our body, if we are saved and going to heaven we see a beautiful tunnel of light that leads us to God. For those souls that are not saved will be sentenced to hell for eternity. An eternity spent in punishment and torture by Satan. Christians believe in Satan just as much as God. They are taught to avoid the temptations he puts in front of them. According to Islam,

    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. According to the religion’s holy books, the Bible and Qur’an,…

    Islam shares more similarities with Christianity than one might think. Both religions believe in only one god with similar traits, the men Moses and Jesus as important figures, and have roots in Judaism. However, Islam also has many differences. The primary figure of Islam is the Prophet Muhammad who received God’s final message through the Archangel Gabriel. Muhammad’s teachings and way of life are included in the Qur’an, which is the Islamic holy book. With the support of his wife and his uncle, Chief Abu Talib, Muhammad avoided persecution from the people of Mecca. After they died, he was forced to leave to the city of Medina due to pressures of polytheistic Meccan merchants that were threatened by his teachings. This move is called the…

    Many religions share a lot of similar values amounst each other. Most especially Islam and Christianity are extremely similar and are most commonly known as the Abrahamic Faiths. Abrahamic religions are religions that all view Abraham as an important person in their lineage. He is connected in both faiths although he plays different roles in the different religions. In Islam, he is considered to be a prophet. For Christians, Abraham is important because he is the father of the people of Israel and therefore a fore bearer of Christ. All of these religions are monotheistic and all their followers are all "People of the Book", believing that Gods word is revealed in their holy book. Christians and Muslims are both ethical religions. They are both concerned to ensure that their followers should lead their lives morally upright and in accordance to Gods will. Overall, there are many similarities in the foundation of Islam and Christianity like the Creed of both religions, how both faiths are encouraged to give alms and the period of fasting that both religions have.…

    There are hundreds of religions throughout the world but the two most examined seem to be Christianity and Islam. These two religions have been brought into the spotlight throughout the years but more recently so with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. People speculate on rumors of each religion but how much do we actually know? Unless you are a religious scholar, odds are you do not know any more than what the internet and television tell you.

    Christianity vs. Islam

    Two of the largest religions in the world today didn’t just get this way overnight. Both these religions emerged throughout time and spread in various ways. Christianity existed several centuries prior to the birth of Islam, and by the time Muhammad founded Islam in the Middle East, Christianity had moved its center to Europe, where it had firmly established itself as the official religion. But Christianity originally sprouted in the Middle East after Christ's resurrection in A.D. 30. During this early period, Christianity did not expand far beyond Jerusalem. Islam was founded about 550 years later, around the beginning of the seventeenth century. In 610 A.D. Muhammad claimed that he received revelations from God that called him to preach a new religion called Islam. At first he began to do so secretly, but after three years he found the courage to proclaim his new faith publicly and gained a growing number of followers. Islam's growth was limited during this time, and it did not spread far beyond Mecca. Eventually, Muhammad left Mecca and he fled to Medina. He gained many followers here as well. However, his monotheistic message was not well received by many in his polytheistic city. As a result, the early Muslim converts faced persecution, just as the early Christians had. During the first two centuries, Christians did not force their religion on others but relied on missionaries and preaching. When Islamics attacked or occupied new territory, they gave its inhabitants three options: convert to Islam, pay a special tax, or die.…

    The idea of the soul varies widely in religious tradition. While these variations exist, its basic definition is unvarying. The soul can be described as the ultimate internal principle by which we think, feel, and will, and by which our bodies are animated. The soul is seen as the core principle of life or as the essence of a being 1. Views on the permanence of the soul vary throughout religious tradition as well. While some view it as a mortal entity in flux others believe the soul is an immortal and permanent unit. These interpretations vary from time period to time period and between religions. These characteristics of the soul are interpreted differently through an Eastern or Western perspective. In general, Eastern and Western Religions, with the exception of Buddhism, consider the soul to be a permanent entity, which is either reborn or sentenced to a permanent heaven or hell.…
