Radical differences between Islam and Christianity Host: Are there any radical differences between Islam and Christianity, and would you please elaborate on these differences? (5:18) Answer Dr. Labib: Well, there are a lot of differences between Christianity and Islam. I will mention them in very clear words. First, and foremost, the two different books, the Quran and the Bible. Second, the two different founders, Mohammed and Jesus Christ. Third, the two different deities, the God of the Bible, and Allah of Islam. Fourth, the two different ways of salvation. The way of Cain, which is salvation by works, and the way of God, which is salvation by grace alone. Then, I would say, fifthly, that the two different standards of life. You know youll go to the Quran, and youll see a big difference between the standard of life in the Bible and in the Quran, concerning marriage and divorce; concerning dealing with the wife. You go to the Quran and youll see in reference to the wife, that the Quran permits the Muslim to beat his wife. In the Bible we see love your wife as Christ loves the church. This is a very big difference. Then concerning kindness to all mankind, the Quran declares once and again, that the Muslims should go to war against Jews and Christians, and kill them. Then, concerning peace and war. Jesus Christ told Peter, Put your sword away. Those who will take the sword will die by the sword. Mohammed told his followers, Go and fight! Then sixthly, the two different declarations. In clear words, the Quran denies the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ. And the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is the focal point of the Bible. Take the cross from the Bible, and the Bible is a dead book. thespiritofislam/islam-christianity/2-radical-differences-between-islam-and-christianity.html Who exactly was Mohammed? Was he a prophet? (5:00) Answer Dr. Labib: Mohammed was not a true prophet. And I say that because, you see, the true prophet must receive a direct call from God, especially if he will be the founder of a religion. Mohammed is the founder of Islam. Moses received a direct call from God. Mohammed didnt receive a direct call from God. The story is very interesting. He was in the cave of Hira, outside of Mecca, and there, a spirit appeared to Mohammed. And then, the spirit squeezed Mohammed very tightly, that he thought that he was going to die. And the spirit said to Mohammed, Read. Mohammed was illiterate, he could not read. And he said, I cannot read. Then the spirit squeezed him more tightly that he thought he was going to die. And the spirit said to him, Read! I cannot read, Mohammed answered. Then the spirit squeezed him more tightly. He was afraid that he was going to die. And he said, Read! He said, What shall I read? The words should be recited because he could not read. How could you command someone who doesnt know how to read, read? You say to him, Recite! And then he said, What shall I read? And he said, Read, in the name of thy Lord, who created man from the clot, etc, etc. So the Quran is not the invention of Mohammed. The Quran was given to him by that spirit who appeared to him at the cave of Hira. The Muslims say, that the spirit was Gabriel the angel. They say the angel Gabriel is the spirit who appeared to Mohammed at the cave of Hira , and he squeezed him tightly. thespiritofislam/mohammed-jesus/28-was-muhammad-a-true-prophet.html youtu.be/BOEVRzJNn7s
