Two of the biggest religions in the world Islam and Christianity and have similarities yet. They're incredibly different and in this episode FTD facts
I'm gonna be focusing on ten similarities between Islam and Christianity
My name is Leroy Kenton and welcome back to another episode of FTD facts
Okay, so let's jump right into it starting at number ten here
We have the belief in God Father. Although there's a lot of debate about how Christians and Muslims relate to God
There's no denying the claim of worshipping only one God both Muslims and Christians
Worship one God and believe that we were all created by him how Muslims and Christians referred to this
God is also similar using the pronoun
He God is not bound by time and space God is all-knowing all present all-powerful
There are no other gods besides God another line. We have the return of Jesus. I know this one was like super surprising
But yeah, it's true Islam and Christianity have a similar belief that Jesus is gonna be returning from heaven
The difference is in when how and why that will happen according to Islam
Jesus will return during wars fought by the Mahdi who is the Redeemer of Islam against the masih
Dajjal or the false messiah
the false messiah is synonymous with the
Antichrist mentioned in the Bible and Jesus will join the Mahdi in his war against the Joel and of course in
Christianity Jesus's return is a central focal point in the faith where Jesus returns. He judges the world the righteous people are saved
So yeah, it's surprising to see that. This is a similar belief
Also, the belief in the Judgment Day is similar to number nine in both Islam and Christianity
There is the belief in the Judgment Day
The last day is portrayed differently in Islam and Christianity
But the end result is pretty much the same but islam and christianity preached that when the Judgment Day comes
everyone will be judged for how they lived their lives on earth in both the Bible and the Koran the world is
Destroyed people will be raised from the dead to be judged for their actions and sent to either hell to be destroyed or to heaven
Or paradise to live forever. Of course, the similarity is that they are both
Abrahamic religions run only Abrahamic religion monotheistic religions
This means that they both share the belief in only one true existing God
of course God is a
Transcendent being and the source of moral law and both these religions can trace themselves back to the Prophet Abraham
The devil is also in Islam and Christianity
Satan or the devil exists both in the Quran and the Bible and both Muslims and Christians believe that he is completely
evil in Christianity
the devil is viewed as a fallen angel who were belt against God and
Islam Satan is the one who refused to bow before Adam Satan persuades people to commit all types of evil
Through his deceptions. Do you know that there's also similarities in the commandments while in reality?
They are much more than the universal Ten Commandments that people know of the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran both feature the ten
commandments that God gave to Moses on Mount Sinai
there's also similarities in the belief in the prophets both Islam and Christianity show high reverence to the early prophets as far back as
Adam and the following prophets like Noah Abraham Moses David
And John the Baptist the Bible in the Quran may have differing details in the stories and the accounts involving these prophets
But they acknowledge the same set of people as being holy servants of God at number three. We have the Messiah's
Miracles the Bible emphasizes many times that Jesus Christ is the promised one and really emphasizes the miracles that he worked
Jesus is also recognized in Islam. And Jesus is a prophet and of course his miracles are recognized as well
However, and he's viewed to be a fellow prophet along with other prophets like Moses Muhammad Abraham and Noah Christianity
Of course has a much different view of Jesus believing him to be the Son of God
Now this one it was very surprising to me when I found this out that Islam and Christianity
They shared the same belief in the virgin birth of Jesus
They believed in the Virgin Mary as a matter of fact in the Quran. There is one whole chapter called Mary Virgin
Mary is the only woman mentioned
By name in the Quran and the Quran also states that Jesus was a result of a virgin birth
However in the Koran neither married nor her son Jesus are considered to be divine in Christianity
however
The main belief is that Jesus is divine the Word of God who became human?
So although the two religions vary in this way
they both acknowledge the virgin birth of Jesus and finally the last similarity I want to take a look at is the
Bible Christians may consider the Bible to be the holiest book
But did you know that Muslims also consider the Bible to be a holy scripture so contrary to what many people believe?
Just because Muslims consider the Quran to be their holy book
It does not mean that they would completely dismiss the Bible and not believe in its existence
According to Islam some parts of the Bible are of revelation from God directly
Islam identifies three sets of books from the Bible as divine revelations. There's a Torah given to Moses
then there's a Book of Psalms given to David and then there's some other people that
Contributed to the Book of Psalms and finally there's a injeel or the gospels. Alright guys, so that is it
