can Islam and Christianity co-exist ?

Answer 1

yes
The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values


However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.


The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.


This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.


There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an. However, in the case of the Bible, even the most ancient manuscripts conflict with one another so that no two are identical. Footnotes in all modern versions of the Bible prove this fact.


These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect



It was only natural for Almighty God to preserve the scripture revealed to Prophet Muhammad, because he was the last Prophet and Final Messenger of God.


Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.in Islam there are no priests or clergy -- each worshipper, man or woman, has a direct relationship with their Merciful Creator -- Almighty God. Since God is the Owner and Sustainer of everything, as well as the only one who can provide true and complete forgiveness, it is completely futile to try to approach Him through anyone else.


The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.


As the Qur'an is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good" (3:86).


The Final Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven."


you can do that now as you are reading these lines is to pronounce the two confirmations and attestations of faith, here it is




I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH ( ARABIC WORD MEANS ONE GOD-THE CREATOR). AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER.



The right picture of lslam is conveyed in the Qur'an, which is exemplified by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The reality is that it is not fair to judge a religion by the actions of its followers alone because there are good and bad followers in every religion. The correct thing to do is to judge a religion by its documented revelation from God and the prophet who brought that revelation.

I encourage Christians and other religions to learn about Islam from Muslim sources and The Basis Of The Muslim Belief and not rely on second hand information which in many cases is distorted or contains a deep seated anti Muslim agenda. This is indeed a more scholarly approach

Answer 2

Yes, If there are only reasonable people on each side. This same question was asked about the protestant and catholic religions. The problem today is there are too few educated people who follow Islam. In the middle east the place where one goes to get an education if you live in a rural area is the nearest monestary. Well what are they going to preach.

We are the best...We are the best..We are the best

If the citizens where able to go to an unbiased, school then much of this fighting would never have happened.

Also another reason for this war is the fact that we took the Ottoman Turks empire several hundred years ago. They want they want that back and they have never forgiven us for winning the war against them.

Answer 3

I thought they already do.. if they don't Why are there Churches in Muslim Countries like Egypt, Libya, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunis, Emirates, Bahrain and Turkey and many more, if most of all Muslim Countries have Churches. Why can't Muslims Build Mosques in Christian Countries? because Christens are selfish.... Simple as that.

But they do co-exist, you should travel around the world and see for yourself..

Answer 4

They are both "revealed" religions who claim to be the one true religion with the exclusive path to heaven.
Doesn't sound like a recipe for peaceful co-existence, does it?

Answer 5

i think of that there are a number of extremist Muslims accessible and that in the event that they proceed to advance, then no Muslims and Christians does no longer be waiting to stay mutually peacefully. even nevertheless there are categories of muslims like the religious ones the Sufi ones and that they do no longer behave like that. So is it basically the Sunni and Shia Muslims who become extremists? if it rather is so why?

Answer 6

No wise man in the history of the world has been 100 percent thorough regarding his explanation of truth, but all were close enough.

Answer 7

They do co-exist in our world right now. Any number of religions (organized institution of faith) can exist at the same time. If you are referring to whether or not they can both be correct, then I would say no.

Answer 8

Sure--they can be neighbors, baby sit each others children, go to parent-teacher conferences together, even go out socially together. What they should do, is keep their traps shut about their religions when together--live and let live!!!

Answer 9

Not as long as one or the other wants to rule the world.

Answer 10

Yes co-exist possibly. But Truth by definition is EXclusive, meaning there can only be one way. I belive Jesus died on the cross, died and rose again on the 3rd day because of all the extra-Biblical material (Josephus, Tacitus etc)

The Muslim will say in surah 4:157 "they killed him not but only apprared to them that way"......... here are 2 claims. only one is true.
