Recommended: Comparisons between torah and quran

The Torah and the Qur’an both demonstrate of an apocalypse of fire, which shows that the way that everyone is destroyed is the same. The Qur’an tells that G-d has “prepared for them [the disbelievers] a Blaze” and that He will watch as “their faces are flipped into the Fire.” The disbelievers are destroyed by burning a fiery hell, similar to Judaism in the book of Enoch. The sinners “shall melt like wax before the flame” and will be punished for the sins in this terrible hell. The depictions of hell are alike because both religions share similar ideas of how sinners should be punished. According to the two religions, fire is the best option. Both religions may have chosen fire because burning in hell is painful for the sinners and they must

  • Compare And Contrast Christianity And Islam

    1148 Words  | 3 Pages

    Although the Christians, Jews, and Muslims had some similarities with their religion, the Jews and the Christians did not really have a status in the Islamic Middle East before 1800 C.E. Most of the Islamic Middle East was ruled by the Muslims. Islam is the religion and Muslims are the believers of Islam. In order for us to have a good understanding on the Muslims and why the Christians and the Jews were governed by them we must first have an understanding on Muhammad. Muhammad was the prophet and founder of the religion Islam, a prophet is someone who believes that he or she is spoken to by god. During the early time pre-ilasmic Arabs worshipped a variety of spirits, sometimes they were associated with nature, they were mostly polytheistic meaning they believed in many gods. Islam as well as the Christian and Jewish religion is monotheistic which means that they all believed in one god.

    Both Christianity and Islam mirror Judaism. From Judaism, Christianity and Islam took hold of the concepts of monotheism, prophecy, resurrection, and a belief in the existence of heaven and hell. Both religions also have a sacred text; Christians consider the Bible the inspired word of God, His words written and spoken through his followers. However Muslims hold the belief that the Koran is the literal spoken breath of God. Mohammed was merely transcribing the words of Allah, much as a court reporter does. With this knowledge they hold to be true Muslims hold the Koran and Islam at a higher level of truth and authenticity then the beliefs held by Christians and the Bible.

  • Essay On Heaven And Afterlife

    1007 Words  | 3 Pages

    But, the belief system differs slightly. Heaven in the Islamic faith is called Paradise, comparatively the believers of Islam consider the gateway into heaven or, paradise to be obtained by an individual’s good doings overweighing their wrong doings; just as the Christian’s hold to be true. Within the pages of the Qur’an it reads; “Allah will admit those who believe and work righteous deeds to Gardens beneath which rivers flow: they shall be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearls; and their garments there will be of silk.” Stating that people who go to Jannah will go to a place that is deemed to be of riches and desired living. People who embrace the religion of Islam refer hell as the “fire.” An excerpt from the Qur’an elaborates on the result of a person who goes against the rules of the sacred book and it reads; “Our Lord! Surely, whom You admit to the Fire, indeed You have disgraced him, and never will the wrongdoers find any helpers." (Quran 3:192) in relation to heaven and hell, Christianity and Muslim, the view to an extent is a mirrored interpretation across the faiths where heaven is not

    ...did not die’. Islam belief in human nature is also different from Christianity; but the same in Judaism, that human nature has the equal ability to do good or evil. Means of salvation in Islam is closely the same to the other Abrahamic beliefs. In addition, good and bad afterlife beliefs are closely related as well. Interestingly, Christianity views Islam as a false religion and Islam views Judaism and Christianity as ultimately having wrong beliefs and ‘only partial revelation’. Ultimately, these Abrahamic religions are the most influential religions in the world. Their impact on the world is very deep and all trace their history to Abraham in the Hebrew Bible. The brief overview of the similarities and differences of the three monotheistic faiths enables people to enrich or at least receive a concrete vision of what can possibly come with death and the afterlife.

    Every religion has its own goal, and their own path and believe to reach their goals, however there are also many similarities in believes. Although the followers of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam may see things differently, they all fundamentally hold the same values and codes. To Islam, the Prophet Mohammad’s teaching is a complete and final revelation. On the other hand, according to the bible, Christianity believes that Jesus Christ is the true lord and savior will grant you the access to heaven in the afterlife. Judaism is founded by Abraham, and it is the base from which both of the other two religions sprung. Even though the three religions differ in many areas and on many aspects, they also agree on the monotheistic, the belief in ‘One True God.’ Those religions have many similarities and a number of significant differences about God, role of women, prayer, and salvation.

  • Differences Between the Story of Joseph in the Bible and Intricacies in Sura 12 of the Qur’an

    1171 Words  | 3 Pages

    The two stories follow the same general plot, but the different interpretations give varying underlying meanings, assumingly stemming from the differences in authorship. This difference in content is the major divide between the Qur’an and the Bible. Islamic believers claim that the Qur’an was divinely inspired and physically written by the prophet Muhammad in its entirety and the Bible contains many historical manipulations due to its varied authorship. Assuming the common belief in divine inspiration is true, the single author of the Qur’an would provide less room for error than the compilation style of the Bible. However, according to biblical tradition, the Torah was completed around 1500 BCE, and the Qur’an was written during the lifetime of Muhammad from 609 to 632 CE, meaning that the Qur’an was written many centuries after the events it chronicled and leave...

  • Similarities And Differences Between Islam And Christianity

    568 Words  | 2 Pages

    What is the difference between Islam and Christianity? I chose this question because I do not know much about Islamic religion, and I believe many people are ignorant to the true teachings of the Quran and Muslim beliefs. I wanted to finally get the answer to this big question. Today these are two of the largest practiced religions in the world. They both base their religions in the belief of one God as the creator of the universe, so what makes them different? Both religions believe there is a heaven and hell, there is a judgment day and that God sent prophets (John the Baptist, Moses, Noah etc.) to spread the word, they both believe in the coming of Jesus Christ, and the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ from the Virgin Mary. With all these similarities and more it may be hard not to confuse the two.

  • Judgment Day in Two Religions

    637 Words  | 2 Pages

    First, both religions state that no man knows when judgment day will come. For example, it says in the bible, “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only” (Matthew 24:36 ). In addition, it says in the Quran, “They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival? Say, "Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lays heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly." They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, "Its knowledge is only with Allah, but most of the people do not know that its knowledge is only with Allah" (Surat Al-A’raf [7:187]). This similarity shows that both Christians and Muslims do not know when judgment day will occur. We can see that there is about the same amount of information about the arrival of judgment day, but the Quran mentioned the fact that judgment day will come “unexpectedly”, which was not mentioned in Christianity.

  • Compare And Differences Between Islam And Islamic Worldview

    1330 Words  | 3 Pages

    I chose to compare and contrast the biblical worldview with the Islamic worldview. First, I would like to give a brief history as to how the Islamic worldview started; it began when Mohammad was born in 570 AD. and in 650 AD. The Quran was created (Hindson, Caner. 277-280). The Islamic worldview is defined as the complete belief in the one and only (monotheistic) God “Allah” and they believe that the term Islam means “to surrender” and it has nothing to do with peace (Hindson, Caner. 279). The term “worldview” (from a biblical worldview) according to our text and also in my opinion is that we choose to see the world and process the information depending on our own distinct personalities (Hindson, Caner. 498-499). Everyone will have their own

  • Similarities Of Christianity And Islam

    1373 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Islamic Qur’an and the Christian Bible. During ancient times, believers basically memorized these stories. There was initially no written forms of the Qua’ran or the Gospel. The new testament was not compiled till AD 400 and the Qur’an around 600. Interestingly, the Qur’an can only be referred to as the Qur’an when it is in Arabic. All translations of the Qur’an are titled differently. Both religions believe that though written by mortal men, the texts come directly from God. The Islamic Qur’an somewhat parallels the Christian Bible. Characters found in the Bible and the Qur’an include: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and Jesus (Isa). Not found in the Bible is: Hud, Salih, Muhammed and Luqman. In the Bible God exist in three forms, God the Father, the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. Islam however understands this Trinity as father (Joseph), virgin (Mary), and child (Jesus). Islam identifies the angel Gabriel from whom the revelation to Mohammad came from as the Holy Spirit. The central message of the Gospel is that, Jesus the messiah, Son of God, was crucified and died for our sins but conquered death and was resurrected to heaven. The Qur’an’s central message is that there is only one God,Allah, and Muhammad is the last prophet and Messenger of God. Christians worship Jesus as a God while Muslims honor Mohammad as a prophet. Islam agrees that Jesus was indeed, born of a virgin, the Messiah, and a great

  • The Quran And Islam

    The Quran retains many of the similar aspects of the Christian perspective of God. Through studying the aspects of the Islamic faith years ago, and reading the book of the Muslims this present year, I have come to understand why Muslim’s believe what they believe. The Quran contains the fundamentals of the Islamic faith, which include the five pillars of faith and the six main articles of faith. Allah is eternal and all-powerful; he is claimed to be the only God. In the Quran, God is mentioned numerous times helping the reader to understand who He is. As well, humanity is an important aspect, for the Quran is directed towards humanity to follow God, for they are the most important existence on the earth.
