The revelations that Muhammad received are now considered to pivotal text included within the Islamic Qur’an (Islamic bible). It is important to note when trying to understand Islam, that around 631 A.D. Muhammad was able to enter into the city of Mecca and convert all the Arabic tribes to Islam. Islam and Christianity are similar in many ways, however the main difference in the religions lies in their beliefs that God is singular, Jesus was just a prophet, Jesus was not crucified, heaven can be obtained by the works of man (doing good deeds, or bad deeds), and the concept of Trinity is unconceivable. Muslims believe that Allah will judge everyone in the afterlife based on whether or not they had a good belief system, and whether they fulfilled their obligations to Islam. Muslims are obligated to do the
Shahadah: This is the belief of all Muslims that Allah is one, he is the only god, and Muhammad (PBUH) is his messenger. This meaning that Allah is a unique being and that Muhammad is Allah’s greatest prophet; 2. Salat (Prayer): This is the physical act of worship. Muslim’s are expected to pray five times a day facing towards Mecca. This depicts Muslim’s submission to Allah.
3.The Question of Meaning/Purpose-A Muslims purpose is to submit to Allah. They only believe that Allah's guidance is the only guidance as it has been told in the Holy Quran(Sura 6:71).

It also raises awareness of how practicality can affect Muslims in the way they follow their faith.

This must be performed in Arabic with the left hand on the heart and the right hand held palm upwards at the right ear. There must also be a qualified witness present. This is the first ritual a Muslim will perform and the simple statement expresses total commitment to the message of Islam.

Both claim the final prophet of God, Prophet Mohammed and Prophet Joseph Smith. Both were the long lost faith as the one true religion. Islam makes claim that Adam and Abraham were Muslims.
Both Christianity and Islam have a communitarian dimension: what the church is to Christianity the "umma" is to Islam. Muslims and Christians believe there is only one God / Allah. The basic testimony of Islam is called the 'shahada', the first clause of which states that "la ilaha illa Allah" -- "There is no god but God." This is certainly a statement that Christians would affirm. Many of the Muslim beliefs come from the Bible.
Does this mean “all truth?” Does that role pertain to the special disciples (Apostles) only, or to all believers? 16:13-15. Bruce, p. 320. Jesus had already introduced the disciples to the truth, and the Spirit would only guide them along the way of the truth. Jesus also insists that the spirit will only speak that which he hears but not on his own impulse.
Analyse how Islam through the principal beliefs, sourced form the sacred texts, guides the individual in achieving inner and world peace Islam teaches a belief in seven articles of faith, also known as the religion’s principal beliefs. These seven articles of faith are Tawhid, Angels, the Books of Allah, Rusul, last judgement, Akhira and the supremacy of Allah’s will.

Prophetical narratives that paint pictures of one, who is destined to be the savior of God’s chosen people, Israel, and all mankind.
