islam prays 5 times a day does others do the same....of course not,
They are not mandated to, they don't have to, but a good Christian prays more than that even.
muslims says the word 'syahadah', to become islam do others do, no.
No idea what this is saying. Learn better English please.
islam fast every ramadhan for 30 days does other did it, no.
I have no idea what Ramadhan is even about but there are sects throughout christendom that fast. Personally, I don't see the point in it.
islam believe in Qada' and Qadar, does others do,no. Whose fate? Doesn't matter... I don't believe in fate.
do u see the difference....? OH YEAH
now u see which one is stronger. I think both are strong....but I think by 'strong', you are thinking 'better'. In that case, then, NO.

And BTW.... your question is asked in such a way as to be extremely rude and disrespectful. Shame on you.

Hi there, I think you try to compare Islam with Cristianity. You should not do that since religion is something you believe, you can not prove it so you can not sya which is better or not. Never the less I can give you some answers to your questions. You may get a better understanding of Christianity.

Christians can pray whenever they want. Many Christians pray when they wake up in the moring, before every meal and before they go to sleep. So you could say that they pray five times a day but they do not have a fixed hour to do that or it is not compalsory.

The Christians become Christians when they get Baptized and because they usually are to young to speak their Godfather or Godmother says the apropriate words.

Christians fast too but not in the same way as the Muslims. Every day of the week has a specific kind of food that you should eat, for example in Friday is fish. There are also two fasting periods, one before Cristmasts and one before Easter. They also have to fast before they can receive the Holy Communion. The fasting period before Easter lasts for 40 days and is very strict.

As long for fate yes Cristnias believe the same. They also believe that the humans can change their fate by altering their behaviour and acts. Otherwise there would be no point to try to follow the God's teaching because He would have already desided for you if you will be going to Heaven or not.

Do you see the difference? I dont. I just see different ways of doing the same thing and different ways to persue the same goal. If you want to differentiate yourself from other humans beeings because of religion is your choice.

Take care and God bless you. (There is one God afterall)

if you're of the Islamic religion, take no offence at my words friend.

each religion on this planet, whether monotheistic (Judeism, Christianity, Islam) polythiestic (Hinduism) or a religion that doesn't believe in a Godly Being as their Deity (Buddhism, Shintoism, Animaism) you cannot compare the faith of the religious law to each other. For instance, while Islam must pray five times a day facing the Holy City, those of the Shinto never pray, but their beliefs are just as strong, and if i may say so, sometimes stronger because they are not bound by a Deity. Faith is a variable thing from one person to another, and I'm sure that there can be people of the same level of faith in every religion on this planet, that the faith level isn't something that can be limited by comparison to others, but by personal belief and action

Prayer alone does not make us strong, living with self-worth does and respect of others does.

Syahadah, or the Islamic pledge, is no different then the 'call of god' or the desire to seek a higher goodness in life.

Fasting is a key aspect of every major religion. Christians, Jews, Jains, Buddhist, Hindus, et all, fast during their religious holidays - holy days.

Qada, or "Divine predestination", is something, again, adhered to by all major world religions. Each faith has its own well-defined idea of god's will.

Your argument is weak. You have only helped to point out how much Islam is like every other religion on the planet.

Let me help you with perhaps the biggest difference: Every other world religion DOES NOT encourage/promote the death of non-believers.

I don't believe you asked a question but here it goes. Unlike some other responses I do not see what you practice as a pathetic routine but as a ritual of you chosen religion and I respect that. However, I don't believe any religion is stronger than another, but an individuals faith in that belief at that moment in time and place can be more...and still does make that person better just more focused on their path.

Islam is not so much stronger as it is so much louder. Thank God the only thing I have to do is believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and trust Him to save me. If I forget to pray a certain number of times, I'm okay, because He is constantly at the hand of The Father praying for me.

I am glad to hear that you do these things. I on the other hand do not conform to ritual and works, but as the Holy Spirit leads me. I pray all day, I study the bible in the morning and the evening, and I fast often. Is it truly stronger to follow rituals because you have to, or is it more sincere to do it out of the love for God. Do you pray any other time? Do you fast any other times?

12. "You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers."
13. "I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a damn."
14. "I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth."
15. "I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you."
16. "Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view."

Well, I believe there are Christian religions who do these types of things, but because they do them with their hearts and not by heartless ritual, they do not count them against others to test their score and make comparisons.
Those who follow Christ's principles: There is nowhere where He said to use numbers to live the Word of Love and truth, and He certainly advised against judgment and comparing.
He simply asked that we keep one day in 7 holy, and count it unto Him.
There are churches who fast at least once a month and give that money to the needy as a result, and fast other personal times as needed.
They also faithfully pay tithes every week of any income that comes in.
They are counselled to pray individually twice a day, plus family prayer - usually twice a day, and they also bless their meals!
So, how many times is that?
They also serve in their Church regularly during the week and fulfill assigned callings in the Church.
They also go and visit other assigned members each month and visit the sick and support and uplift the hands of the downtrodden.
They believe in living a 7 day religion and attend their temples [as separate from their regular Sunday church attendance] regularly for work for the Dead as well as for the Living.
A large % of them serve 2 year missions for no pay at all ... and many of those tend to do this 2 or 3 times throughout their lives.
I have been on 2 such missions myself.
They also believe in a modern day prophet of God, and follow His instructions and leadership among them.
And they also love Muslims!
In fact, my wife works for a disabled Muslim lad.
We get along great with him, and he has asked previously for me to give him a blessing!!

They are called, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!

It is not for us to judge who has the better religion. This is a very personal choice and you will not win converts by saying "mine is better than yours". You would be better off by living a good and pious life and you will glorify God that way. Perhaps then, others may be attracted to your way of life when they see a happy man, a happy family, a peaceful home and will want to know your secret. Leave the judging up to God on the Last Day.
