Jesus,
Son of God, Lived a perfect life, Fulfilled the Old Testament and started the New Testament. Lived the perfect example of Prayer, Love, Peace, and Forgiveness. Never Married, Never Sinned. Started the Catholic/Christian Church. Never raised an army to conquer those that don't believe.
Muhammad,
Waged war, had 15 wives (9 at one time) wrote the Koran, gave Men all rights over women, wrote of Peace, Love, also Killing and War, allows Men to have 4 wives (plus servants) women that are not faithful get stoned to death.
Pretty much opposites as far as how they lived their lives.
If you are talking about the Faiths, there is more similarity, for the most part both Religions accept the Old Testament.
Peace!

I have studied Islam and Christianity only a little bit. I am an Episcopalian, but I know of one HUGE difference between Jesus and Muhammed, which causes tensions between Muslims and Christians.
Muhammed was the last prophet of God on the Earth. He was a man. A mortal, but was given information through the angel Gabriel from God (Allah, in Arabic).
Jesus, the Christians believe, was the son of God and was a mere man, but a man that never sinned.
The Muslims do not understand how Christians can believe that a man was the son of God. They also believe that the way the Christians pray to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is believing in more than one god.
Personally, I believe that Jesus and Muhammed were both men who were blessed by God to be prophets on the Earth, but that they were both simply men and therefore we should not pray to them. They were both capable of sinning.

Muslims say that Jesus was just a prophet. But if my understanding is correct, not even Muhammad was just a prophet. They were both spiritual beings that came from a higher level to assist humanity.
Interestingly, I recently learned that we are supposed to advance to a level where we take our physical body with us when we
return to spirit. It has something to do with not feeding the
destructive, (recycling), aspect of things I believe. Enoch, Elijah,
Jesus, and Muhammad all translated, or rose up to heaven with their physical bodies. Do you know of any other such examples like in India or Tibet? Ever heard of an avatar? Which is an
advanced being who not only takes their body with them into spirit, but is said to be able to return to our world at times?

jesus comes before muhamad
the 24th prophet and muhammad the last
jesus is magical, muhamad is reality
both speaks words of gods
they are messengers so both are ardent followers and they simply carried out god's messages that puzzle the world
Be it Torah,zabur,Bible or koran
they tell myths,or stories of someone,places..
some messages are true,some are false, some cannot be use at all. So its up to you, to take it as a person with godgiven brain wisely. the truth is out there.

Jesus fulfilled all of the Old Testament prophecies. Mohammed did not.

Both probably existed and both have had a fairy tale world invented after them. Mohammed's brand of delusion seems to have a bigger appeal to the psychotically deranged whereas Jesus tends to attrack the just plain loony.

As I understand it, Jesus was the first Prophet and Muhammed was the second newer prophet. Otherwise their preachings are similar, peace, spiritual.
That is all I know.
