Compare and Contrast: Two Different Religions

Christianity and Islam

Christianity and Islam are the two largest religions in the world. Both share with Judaism a belief in one god who creates the world and cares about human beings behavior and beliefs. Christians and Muslims has continues to grow lager and bigger. Islam and Christianity believe that there is only one god, he is the creator of the universe. Christians also believe in trinity, meaning that god has three forms: (father, son, Holy Ghost and spirits). Even today there are some Christians who still accept the trinity.

Trinity is totally rejected in Islam to Muslims Jesus was a human prophet not divine. Muslims only worship one

and only god (Allah) and he is the creator and only god. Both Christians and Muslims believe that God sent prophets such as: Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Joseph, John and Jesus and both also believe that Mary the mother of Jesus was a virgin. Both believe in judgment day will occur and people will be judged there is hell and paradise.
Christianity was found C.

30 AD in Palestine, Muslims was found 622 CE in Arabian Peninsula. Christians speak Aramaic and Greek, and mostly located in Europe, North and South America and there is two billion Christians in the world today. Muslims speak Arabic and located in the Middle East and Southeast Asia and there is 1.3 billion. However Christianity is spreading faster than Islam.

Christians has the Bible and Muslim has the Quran. Christians believe in the concept of “Original Sin” which means that human beings are born as sinners. Muslim do not believe in the “Original Sin” for two reasons: in the Quran, God forgave Adam for what he has done and according to the Quran no one should be made to bear the burden of someone else’s sin or mistake because it is unfair.

Muslim prays five times a day, daily prayers are Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. These prayers are done every day as a Muslim before you pray you have to wash your hand, foot, arm, ear, nose and face. And you do these during every prayers. Christians only pray during dinner, bed time and every Sundays. Muslim pray more times a day because we believe that every time you pray you washing some of your sin away like you getting cleaner and cleaner every time you pray and getting closer to God. Christians pray got to church every Sundays and for Muslim it every

Fridays.
Christians fast once in month and it has to be on a Sunday. During the fasting for Christians they can eat snack and drink if they want but they just can’t have a heavy meals. Muslim fast once in a year for one month for 30 days straight and that is once in a year base on crescent moon, Muslim called it” RAMADAN” you get up early in the morning like 2 am eat, drink and no food or drinks for the rest of the day until like 9: 40 pm and during this time of fasting you can’t gossip, and smoke because you trying to be less sinner.

Both Christians and Muslim believe that there is after life after earth. As a Muslim you can’t eat pork. Muslim don’t eat pork because of hoe pigs are dirty, and is not in the Quran we can only eat beef, chicken, fish and etc. Muslim are very serious about their rules, there are lots of rules in Islam as Muslim that you shouldn’t do and half of these rules are for Muslim woman. Christians has rules but as much as Muslim do. I am a Muslim so I know lots of these rules I don’t fellow half of these rules even though I should. I am not saying being a Muslim suck or being a Christians I respect every religion because we have a compare and contrast.
