I recently read part of a book called Studies on the Civilization of Islam that I found in my house about the similarities and differences between Christians and Muslim's culture. The main similarity I found was that they both believe in the divinity of Jesus. Some differences include that Muslims believe God is indivisible, while Christians believe in the Trinity. Christians believe that as a member of the Trinity, Jesus is the son of God. Muslims believe that Jesus was conceived by an act of God and though not the son of God, is like Muhammad, a highly respected Prophet. Christians believe that right after we die, we go straight up to heaven or straight down to hell, but Muslims believe Barzakh, which is somewhat like an afterlife. Christians have a more relaxed view about what foods may be eaten. Muslims, being conscious that God created man, consider it wrong to defile such a creation with a certain food and drink. Muslims are forbidden to eat pork or drink alcohol. These are many of the similarities and differences between the two religions, yet there are many differences the Christian religion is very similar to the Islamic religion.
