Document on Jesus and MuhammadIntroductionFew men have impacted the world as Jesus and Muhammad did. They are the two prominent names in Christianity and Islam. These men were born in separate times. However, during their lifetimes they served very similar purposes. Together, they have influenced the lives of more people than anyone else over the past two thousand years. Both are considered the main pillars of their respective religions and are highly regarded figures by their followers. Jesus was responsible for promoting Christianity, while Muhammad helped spread the word of Islam. Both Jesus and Muhammad became known for the roles they played in founding and strengthening each religion, and their messages are carried forward today. The Life of Jesus It is not known exactly when Jesus, the son of God, was born to the Virgin Mary and Joseph. It is believed that Jesus was conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit. Joseph, her fiancé at the time, was instructed by an angel of God to carry out his plans to marry her. Shortly after the wedding, Mary and Joseph had to travel to their ancestral city of Bethlehem for a census carried out by the ruling Roman Empire. It is said that Jesus was born in a stable among animals, because there was no room in the inn for Mary and Joseph when they arrived in Bethlehem. Some stories tell of Shepard's journey to see Jesus to pay homage after God's angels had come to tell them that a Savior had been born. Others tell of three wise men... in the center of the card... the fastest growing religion in the United States and may now be the second largest religion in the country. (Fisher, 2005) Both men lived and professed moral lives. They taught love, humility, acceptance, compassion, and forgiveness for all people, regardless of race or social status. They taught people the importance of moral values ​​and living by God's rules. Many stories are still told about the lives and teachings of Jesus and Muhammad, and their kindness and compassion are still recognized. Both of their followers continue to spread their message and practice the Christian and Islamic faith, and make every effort to live a life like that of their prophet; whether it is Jesus or Muhammad.
