Recommended: The differences between the important beliefs of the monotheistic faiths

What is your perspective or feelings about the other monotheistic faiths?
Moses: If it is what people want to believe, then let them believe in it. Everyone has a different opinion on religion.
Jesus: I agree with Moses because it is your faith. You are your own person and you should be able to believe in whatever you want.
Muhammad: I think that everyone has a right to believe in whatever they want, but sometimes they are growing up into a household that already has their religion picked out for them.

Jesus: In Christianity, we have Sacraments. It is a ceremony of the church that basically celebrates Jesus and the life he gave.
Muhammad: In Islam, I am considered a prophet of God. Like i came from God to help out and things of that nature. How are the basic beliefs of your faith similar to the other monotheistic faiths?

Muhammad: One main reason we are all similar is because all of our religions are monotheistic. You have other faiths that believe in multiple gods or beings. But us, we are happy with just one God. How do you see the leaders of the other religions?
Moses: I think that they are just like myself. Leading in the religion they believe

The Arabic word for God is Allah; therefore Islam describes and attitude: the attitude of total submission to the will of Allah. Essentially, a Muslim is anyone who submits to the will of Allah. Islam teaches that everything in creation – plants, animals, mountains, hills, rivers, deserts, streams, oceans and people were created “Muslim”.
