Common Questions About Islam

Islam and Christianity are two of the world’s largest and most widespread religions. There are multiple key differences between Islam and Christianity. One major difference is their concept of God: Christians believe in the Holy Trinity, the idea that God exists as three persons in one (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), while Muslims are strictly monotheistic, believing that there is only one God (Allah).

  Another fundamental difference lies in their holy texts: Christians follow the Bible, the inspired word of Allah; whereas Muslims follow the Quran, which was revealed to Muhammad by Allah. Similarly, Islam teaches that all prophets from Adam to Jesus were sent by Allah and considers Muhammad as the final prophet; while Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God and part of the Holy Trinity. Overall, these varied beliefs result in different practices for religious rituals, moral codes, and social customs.
