Christianity and IslamIntroduction: Belief in God as the creator and sustainer of the universe is at the heart of the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic religions. These religions are historically linked. This essay will focus on how Christianity and Islam are similar and different from each other. Christianity and Islam are very similar in that they both have rules, rituals and traditions, sacred texts and laws that influence how they view God. Sacred texts and what they say about the nature of God are an important part of every religion. The Christian Bible is a book composed of two parts. The Old and New Testaments are a text composed of two books, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Bible is believed to have been written around 1,500 years ago. Since around 1400 BC, since Moses around 100 AD, Muslims have also followed a religious text called the Quran. The Quran has 114 chapters or surahs. Muslims believe that the Quran is a revelation from God. The Quran is a book that Muslims believe gives them guidance in all aspects of their lives. The Quran was a book revealed by God himself to the Prophet Muhammad. The similarities and differences are clearly visible. Both religions believe in a sacred text (the Bible and the Koran) emanating from God. Christians and Muslims must learn to obey and practice the message contained in the books – the Bible or the Quran. The main difference between Christianity and Islam is that Christians believe that the Bible was a book written by the disciples when Jesus was preaching. Muslims also believe that the Quran is literally the word of God but received by Muhammad. Christianity and Islam have rituals and traditions. that they must accomplish throughout their lives. Christians believe there is only middle of paper. The Bible clearly states that there is no God but God. This is a statement on which Muslims and Christians strongly agree. Both Christians and Muslims are monotheists. But Muslims believe and maintain that Christians are polytheists, because they believe in the Trinity. Both Christianity and Islam share common beliefs. These religions arose long ago from a root of Abraham. They believe in prophecies, apostles of gods, revelation, texts, scriptures, resurrection from death and the center of religious community. Christianity and Islam are the two largest religions on earth and have many differences and many similarities. There is a lot of tension between these two religions; and that is why there are many constant fights. It is unfortunate that two religions that have so much in common cannot live together in peace as God/Allah would hope..
