Comparative Religion:
Similarities between Jesus and Muhammad
Before
we look at the differences between Jesus and Muhammad, let’s
identify a few of their similarities.
Great religious leaders
Jesus
and Muhammad established the world’s two largest religions,
Christianity with 2.1 billion, and Islam with 1.8 billion people,
together half of the world’s population.
Monotheism
Although
their views of God’s nature were different, both men believed in
and taught about one true God who is sovereign, infinite, all
powerful, all-knowing, and the ultimate judge of all mankind.
Old Testament Scriptures
Both
men accepted the Old Testament as God’s Word, and acknowledged
Abraham, as the one through whom God would make a great people. Jews
and Christians believe God’s promise is through Abraham’s son,
Isaac, while Muslims believe it is through Abraham’s other son,
Ishmael.
