Relation:

1. Both have a prophet (whether they consider him a part or God or not) that they believe and trust to have a revelation from God
2. Both believe the scripture is divine and from the Almighty Creator that originated all of existence that isn't Himself
3. Both consider salvation to be based on the teachings in their respectuve scripture
4. Both consider their scriptures to contain truth
5. Both consider their scriptures to contain prophecies that are to come true, since the revelation is with divine knowledge that should be able to clearly see the future


Of course there are differences as well

I don't quite understand your wording. Could you clarify that or expand on that please?

@LadyGrace yes.

Muslims believe in an Almighty Creator, Allah is the name in Arabic, God is the name in English

Christians, be them trinitarian or not (trinitarian as believing in a triune God), they also believe God Almighty originated everything that is not Himself and that everything else is created by God, the Creator

Basically, both believe in one God that created everything. A divine Creator
@Iwantyourhotwife No, their beliefs are very different from Christians. The whole truth is.... you only told part of it. Yes, Muslims believe in the Almighty Creator, but they do not recognize Jesus as Savior nor to be the Son of God. Did you know that Jesus is the second person of the trinity as stated in Scripture and that He also took part in the creation of this world?

The Apostle Paul puts it a lot more succinctly: “For all things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, . . . were created in Him ['God's beloved Son']. [Which is to say that] all things exist as created through Him and for Him” (Colossians 1:16).

Is the Lord the Creator of all things?

Genesis 1:1, the first chapter and the first verse in the Bible show us who our God is. He is CREATOR. He is not “a” creator or someone who simply “creates,” He is THE Creator, because “Through Him all things were made; without Him, nothing was made that has been made” (John 1:3).

@LadyGrace yes. I know that in Christianity, Jesus is the second person of the holy trinity and the Holy Spirit is the third. The first is the Father. This is what I was mentioning by mentioning the triune Godhead/God concept in Christian teachings (The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).

I did not know that Christianity teaches that Jesus helped create the world. I thank you for sharing that with me.

So yeah, considering that, I think we are on the same page here
@Iwantyourhotwife it's not just Christianity that teaches that Jesus helped create the world. It's what the Bible teaches.
