Islam and Christianity

   Religion is a principle of trust to God that has to be had by everyone. Everyone  can know their self and their God by having religion and they also know their rights and obligations as the creatures that were created by God. We know many religions in Indonesia, they are Islam, Christianity, Hindu, Budha, and Kong Hu Cu. Now, we are going to know about the similarities and the differences between Islam and Christianity.

     Basically, all of religions are same. They ask for doing goodness and prohibit for doing badness. Islam and Christianity have some similarities, in Al-Qur’an was told about all of prophets from Adam to Muhammad and in Christian’s holy book also told that. Islam  and Christianity believe that take a pray can reduce their sins. Both said that Maryam, Isa’s mother, is a sacred woman.

     There are some differences of them. Muslims take a pray in Mosque but Christian in Church. Muslim’s God is Allah and Christian’s God is Yesus. They also have difference in holy book, Muslim use Al-Qur’an, Christian use Bible. Muslim’s big days are Muharram, Asyura, Maulud Nabi, Isra’ Mi’raj, Nuzulul Qur’an, Idul Fitri, Idul Adha, and Hijriah New Year. Whilst, Christian’s big days are Natal, Jumat Agung, Paskah, Kenaikan Isa Al-Masih, and Pantekosta.

     In conclusion, all religions are good because they ask for the goodness. Islam is the truest religion because Allah said that in Al-Qur’an. In my mind, Islam extremely is a true religion because Islam never disturbs the peace of other people or other religion. It always asks to respect to other religion.
