Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. [Al-Quran 112:1-4] He is Allah, The One and Only. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him“ Even the sentenced both Prophet spoke to greet someone was same: Jesus (PBUH) himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be upon you. Shalamu A a laikum In Aramaic, the Language of Jesus (PBUH) Luke 24:36, John 20:19, John 20:21, John 20:26 Etc Muslims Greet As Taught by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Salamu Alaikum (May Peace Be Upon You) Every Year Muslims fast for 1 Month from Sun Rise to Sun Set: Christians should also fast as said in bible It is said in Bible in Matthew 4:2 New International Version (NIV) “After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.” Al-Quran says, 2:183: “O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint, Jesus (PBUH) fasted for 40 Days & 40 Nights Mathew 4:2 Fasting is Mentioned many times in Bible In both religions charging interest is not allowed: Ezekiel 18:8 New International Version (NIV) ”He does not lend to them at interest or take a profit from them. He withholds his hand from doing wrong and judges fairly between two parties”. Al- Quran 3:130 O you who have believed, do not consume usury, doubled and multiplied, but fear Allah that you may be successful. The eating of swine/pig is forbidden in both religions: Quran 16:115 He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah . But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit] - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. Leviticus 11:7-8 New International Version (NIV) And the pig, though it has a divided hoof, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you. Both Muslims and Christian’s infants should be circumcised Luke 2:21 New International Version (NIV) On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived. Muslims are circumcised Christian women should not dress men’s clothing and covered themselves with veil In bible God says that: Deuteronomy 22:5 New International Version (NIV) A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this. 1 Corinthians 11:5-6 New International Version (NIV) But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head. Similarly Quran says: "Say to the believing man that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that will make for greater purity for them; and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; and that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands..." (Quran 24:30-31) In Both religions wine is forbidden: Bible says: Proverbs 20:1 New International Version (NIV) Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise Quran says in Surah Miadah 5:90: O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful So, Today Muslims are circumcised but most Christians are not circumcised Christians have wine but Muslims does not have wine Many Muslims women especially in Arab observed veil but Christians women does not observes veil Christians have Pork/swine but Muslims does not have swine Christians charged interest but Muslims does not charge interest Muslims are more Christians then Christians themselves If Christians means the people who follow Jesus peace be upon him then we Muslims follow all his teachings as were told by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him but we don’t believe that he was god he was just a messenger of God.
