here are some well-known differences between Muslims and Christians.

Muslims study the holy Quran,


do not believe Jesus was divine or that He died on the cross and do not subscribe to the Trinity concept
from the Council of Nicea. Christians do not recognize Muhammad (pbuh) as a prophet, do not celebrate
Islamic holidays, and have different days of worship than Muslims

God the Father

Muslims and Christians worship only one God and believe all are children of Him. Prophets Both
religions revere the early prophets including Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Joseph, John the Baptist and
even Jesus (Peace be upon them.). The Bible Christians are familiar with the Bible, but Muslims also
believe the Bible to be holy scripture insofar as it is translated correctly and does not contradict the
Quran. Religion Both Muslims and Christians believe that practicing their faith is good for them
personally now, creates peace and harmony among people, and brings blessings in the life after
mortality.

Commandments

People of both faiths believe in similar rules given by God for all people and obeying them keeps
humankind in a right relationship with God. Mary Both Muslims and most Christians believe Mary was a
virgin and that Jesus was born miraculously. Messiahs miracles Islam and Christianity both ascribe that
Jesus Christ was the promised Messiah and did perform miracles. Satan Both Muslims and Christians
believe Satan is real and evil and that he tries to make people follow him instead of God.

The return

The two faiths believe Jesus will return from Heaven. Antichrist The belief that there will be an
antichrist who appears before the end of the world and that Jesus will return and conquer him is
common to both theologies. Judgment Both religions believe a day of judgment will really happen and
people will be judged for the lives they lead on Earth. Hell and paradise Muslims and Christians believe
hell and paradise to be literal places.

Clothing

Muslims and some Christians may wear sacred clothing as signs of covenants made with God.
