The difference between the Christian world view and the Islamic world view
In the following paragraphs I will discuss the major differences within the Christian and the Islamic world view.
Islamic World View
The Word of God and Revelation
The Quran is the Word of God (Allah) and the dominant emphasis of revelation. The Quaran was given to Muhammad by the angel Gabriel, even though Muhammad was just the receiver by whom the message or the word had been handed too. Even though Allah spoke through numerous seers (such as Moses, David, Christ etc), the Quran invalidates everything of these preceding revelations. (Muehlenberg, 2013) The Quran is the ultimate, faultless, and collective message of Allah. Scuffles concerning the Bible and the Quran are because of Christian and Jewish modifications and exploitations of the Biblical text. (Muehlenberg, 2013)

(Muehlenberg, 2013) The Islamic world view does not acknowledge the Holy Spirit and Muhammad is regarded by some Muslims as the consoler or counsellor, which Isa promised in the Bible book of John 14:16.Therefore it is clear that the Islamic faith does not recognize the Trinity like the Christian world view. They believe that Allah is one and to worship any person other than Allah is godless, infidel’s, irreligious and unjustifiable. (Muehlenberg, 2013) The Christian world view or faith worship God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ. (The Islamic faith incorrectly comprehends Christianity’s view by the doctrine of the Trinity: God the Father, The Holy Spirit, and Jesus the Son.) The term “Son of God” is also blasphemous to the Islamic Faith, for they believe that God did not take a wife or woman and in the flesh produced a child. (Muehlenberg,

    The defining message of this new prophetic career was that there is only one god (17.18). This was unique and nearly controversial at the time in the Arab world as different tribes and people would worship many different gods separately, and this message meant that all of the Arab people of these beliefs had to unite and worship a single indivisible god. These events shaped the Old Wisdom of the original Muslims who promoted the faith amongst their neighbors, and laid the groundwork for the later structure of the Islamic Empire (Wade, The Rise of Pastoralist Empires, February 26, 2023). These few events have served as the basis and catalyst for a now worldwide religion. The founding of this religion is similar to the founding of Christianity, which began with an angelic revelation as well, but differs from it in that Mohammed only claimed to be a teacher, and not God

  • The Qur A Broad Overview

    Many believe that it is inerrant and infallible and has remained completely the same since the first official, or Uthmani, Quran was completed over 1300 years ago. It is important to note that in the 7th century in Arabia few people were literate and much of their history and stories were passed down through oral traditions. This is why it is quite astounding that a singular form of the Quran that we have today was able to be formed and widely distributed within 50 years after Muhammad’s death. This is yet another stark difference between the Quran and many other religious texts which were formed over hundreds of years during many different times and in many different geographical locations. I believe that because of this, there has been much less discussion and debate about the formation of the Quran when compared to the sacred-texts of other religions.
