No. The only thing the Christian faith requires is that you accept Jesus as the Messiah or Savior, and follow his teaching, which is to Love God and neighbor. You must also be Baptized. That is all. Simple, yet not easy. The Loving your neighbor as yourself part is hard.

you have to look at the definition of "faith" and under that definition they do require the same thing. they do have different gods. But they actually have the same God but at a certain point in time their prophets began to change shape. Meaning as events took place different "prophets" arose and some followed the current christian beliefs and others began to follow the current muslim beliefs.

Supposedly they are the same god. I see similarities between the god of the Old Testament, Yahweh and the god of Islam, Allah. The god of the New Testament seems to be quite different that either of those two.

Notice too that the gods of Judaism and Islam have names, but the god of the New Testament is never called by a proper name. The Gnostics believe that the true God does not have a name, because there was no one before him to give him a name.

Muslims believe there is only ONE GOD which is Allah and Christians believe in the Trinity which is God, Jesus Son of God and The Holy Spirit.

Muslims also believe the original Christianity and Bible ***were*** correct and revealed to Prophet Jesus. But now Muslims believe the current Christianity and the Bible have been extrapolated by ***irresponsible hands of men***.

Hope that answers the question, albeit broadly.

For myself, my faith required information. basically as technology has faith in the conception of evolution, because of a existence of accrued information, so do I actually be counted on God because of a existence of accrued information. i have oftentimes used the get at the same time of sitting in a chair as an instance that. You bypass out and purchase an workplace chair that calls for a minimum of artwork to practice, including connecting the bottom/legs to the seat. the first time you're taking a seat in it, you attempt it gingerly, per chance no longer putting your finished weight on it .... in spite of everything, are you particular you said the instructions properly? lol yet provide it 6 months and also you'll basically plop on down with no 2d idea because the information that every time you've sat down in the finest 6 months that's held you up will help your human being options's idea that it will certainly carry back. you do not tip the chair over every time and examine that the screws are nevertheless in position, you do not rock the chair backward and forward some circumstances to attempt it ... you've faith in accordance to information. Such is my faith in God. by ability of ways, conception is one issue, faith is yet another. i idea on the starting up of my journey, now I actually have self assurance.

They have the same God according to the source of their origins "The Five Books of Moses" together with Jewish faith..By Jewish Tradition they have One God who have 72 names or callings, By Christian Tradition same One God with Three personalities and By Islamic Tradition same One God they call Allah with one hundred callings.
Faith is based on the traditional teachings of each religion. they have the same God but different traditions or doctrine which means One God, different faith.

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

Different God altogether, similar prophets, but they declare Jesus a high profit, while the Bible itself declares him the son of God, God in the flesh ( i am ) He declared himself the son. Muslims do not worship the God of Abraham. The Koran has instructed them to kill,maim, and murder unbelievers, christians and jews wherever they find them !! Pick up a Bible sometime and read John 1:1-3 or the whole chapter. That in itself tells you about Jesus being here as God himself. His words of I am, and many other verses points to Jesus being here even before Abraham, He openly declares, before Abraham was, I am.
In the Old testament when God sent a warning, they asked this unseen entity, who should I say sent me ? God replied, tell them I am who I am sent me. Much to the Bible in precept upon precept line upon line, it is NOT written in chronological order. It was also originally written backwards.
The Bible teaches love to others. Gives examples of past wars, reasons, atrocities, etc. Many examples of sin, love, hate, etc.

Quite different. The portrayals of god in the testaments differ significantly; the Islamic interpretation is much closer to the old testament version. I consider them all to be nonsense.

Same God...the creator of all things. Just a different interpretation. All of mankind, Christians and Muslims alike will know the truth eventually. Even me.
