Could someone please tell me the differences between Islam and Christianity?

Answer 1

WOW there are a lot. The most important difference, I think, is that Muslims view Jesus Christ as merely a prophet of God, and Christians view Jesus as the Son of God.

Answer 2

Islam affirms these simple beliefs as the basis of the decent, civilized society for which it strives. Its vision of society is, in essence, no different from that upheld by all monotheistic religions. This is particularly true of Judaism and Christianity which share with Islam the direct spiritual lineage of the Prophet Abraham. Islam affirms the divinely-ordained missions of the Prophet Moses, through whom God revealed the sacred scripture called the Torah, and of the Prophet Jesus, through whom God revealed the scripture known as the Gospel. The message of Islam is in essence the same as that which God revealed to all his prophets and messengers. The Prophet Muhammad (the peace and blessing of God be upon him) was commanded to recite in the Holy Qur'an:

"Say: we believe in God, and that which was revealed unto us, and that which was revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which was vouchsafed unto Moses and Jesus and the prophets from their Lord; We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered. "
(The Holy Qur'an 3:84)
"He will live in hostility towards all his brothers" is a reference to the enmity that has historically existed among the Arabs and between the Arabs and the other sons of Abraham.

Answer 3

This is a loaded question and I am sure your going to get bigot answers... I have a few Christian sites you can visit, they have reference to Islam but they are sometimes bigot and I would recommend finding a site that gives you information of Islam from an Islamic point of view.

Answer 4

Allah (God) tells Muslims in the Qur'an that Jesus Christ's creation was similar to Adam's creation, and that even though Jesus (PBUH) performed miracles with God's permission, he was neither His son, nor God himself. Nor was he crucified on the cross. God raised him before the Crucifixion. Yes, someone was crucified that day, but it was not Jesus (PBUH).

That's one of the major differences between the two. Others inlcude...

There is no centralized power in Islam. There are no saints, or anyone who can control your fate, only God has the power to decide what will happen to you in the hereafter.

Answer 5

Christians believe Jesus has paid the price for sin and Bought them salvation. Muslims believe they must follow many laws and rules in the hope of Allah's mercy but several have told me they have never sinned. that is not possible we are all sinners and it is only by accepting we need Christs salvation we can be saved

Answer 6

The fundamental difference is Christians believe in Trinity and Muslims believe in one God.

Answer 7

Christianity worships the real God, and accepts Jesus as One with God.

Islam is a false religion of hate.

Answer 8
