Christianity and Islam are two of the most significant religions since their creation. Both religions are very similar and only some beliefs and teachings are different. They also give separate messages to strangers about what their religion stands for. Both religions are monotheistic with a sacred transcript and both strive to defeat evil. Islam has a set of rules, the Five Pillars of Islam, set out to achieve enlightenment, while Christians basically simply sin, repent, and then are forgiven for their sins. The words and teachings of Jesus uttered were transcribed through others and inserted into their own words. For example, John, Matthew, and Abraham were three of many who took the lessons of Jesus, the life, afterlife, and teachings of God and put them on paper. Muhammad's words were put on paper exactly as he had said them. Muhammad had a vision when the angel Gabriel came to him telling him that he should be a "prophet of Allah". Muhammad continued to have these visions, in which he blurted out “ethereal statements” that later made up the Quran. New interpretations have created religious differences between Christians and Muslims and between their religions. Christians follow the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule according to which they are not allowed to commit murder or adultery. In the Old Testament, adultery was punishable by death. The New Testament is much less violent and harsh; for example, "concerning a woman caught in adultery, Jesus said let anyone who is without sin cast the first stone." Christianity is based on the belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that he came to earth to free people from their sins. Jesus is seen as the savior who sacrificed himself in place of those who followed him and believed in him. This sacrifice is said to give followers of Christ eternal life. Christians see Jesus as the savior and feel that, through their faith in him, they will have eternal life. Muslims consider Muhammad the father of their religion. They believe that Muhammad was a prophet who received the word of God from Gabriel, an archangel, but they do not consider him divine. Islam and Christianity each have their own unique set of doctrines, rituals, and practices.
