Question

World Religion

Islam rejects Christian teaching that all humans are born sinners. Rather, each person freely chooses to follow God and do good or not. For Islam, the Christian doctrine of original sin removes personal responsibility. The idea that Jesus died for others is judged to be unfair and against God’s justice. Each individual alone, is responsible for their eternal destiny.

Does the Christian or Muslim view of the human person and the role in their salvation make more sense? Why?

Answer 1

Islam and Christianity are the most important and great Ibrahim region with the largest number of devotees across the globe.

All of them believes in one God but Islam is a strict, simple monotheistic religion. It believes in one and only one God and there no other God beside him. Every human has free will and he can do both good and bad according to his will but if he does his action against will of God he will punish in the judgement day according to his sin but is f he submits his will to god and do good in this world he will rewarded and go to the Jannat or heaven.

The concept of an afterlife is clear in Islam. In Islam, people will go to the Jannat(heaven) or Jahannam(hell) according to their deeds(good or bad) after judgement day.

On the other hand, Christianity is not a true monotheistic religion because in Christianity Jesus Christ is believes as a son of God. Jesus Christ sacrificed his life for the sake of humanity because humans are mortal and only divine or holy can clean the sins of human. Jesus was both holy and human form. Therefore he sacrificed his life in order to save humanity. In the Christianity every human is born sinner.

In Islam Jesus Christ is one of the greatest messenger of God but only a servant of God not the son of God. on the other hand, Jesus is the son of God in Christianity.
