Christianity says that accept Jesus and you will be saved by the deeds and sacrifices of Jesus.
Once saved, forever saved and there is no doubt you will enter Heaven by accepting this.
Islam says nobody will enter Paradise based on their faith or deeds.
A Muslim shall enter into Paradise SOLEY based on the Mercy of God.
God will choose to have mercy on those whom he wills and he will favor those who had the correct faith and good works.
Islam teaches that nobody can say they are guaranteed anything in the hereafter because only God can decide and judge that. Therefore, even until the last breath a believer must continue to strive to be faithful and obediant.
Islam rests all its hopes on the Mercy of God and guides mankind on how to receive that mercy through faith and obediance.
If that Mercy did not have a requirement of faith and good deeds then there would not be a hellfire.
Which is more closer to the message of all the Abrahamic Prophets ?
