Two
of the major religions of the world are Christianity and Islam. Although
seemingly different, the two faiths share several fundamental beliefs and
practices. Both worship the same deity, whom the Christians term God and the
Muslims call Allah. For knowledge of its faith and its inspiration, the
Christian turns to its holy book, the Bible. The Muslim, too, has a holy book,
the Koran which guides his prayers and gives the meaning to his life. The Ten
Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount provide a code of ethics for the lives
of the Christians. Similarly, all Muslims subscribe to the Hadith and the Five
Pillars of Faith for daily guidance. Such basic similarities in code and
conduct illustrate the shared heritage of Christianity and Islam.
