Contrary to this, Jesus as part of the Holy Trinity, and thus He is same as God according to Christianity (Robinson, 2010). On morals, the Islam religion, takes law and morality as one thing, and that whatever becomes legal according to Islamic region, it binds also the morals and if it is not a law, then it is not moral. This then indicates that Islamic law has control over morality and this remains unchanged irrespective of people or culture. According to Christianity, the laws that govern secular activities are different from morality (Gaudet, Mills, & Ali, n.d.). For example, abortion can be legalized by certain country constitutions, with support from the protestant faith, but when it comes to catholic community, they condemn it. The consideration of morality has definitely changed over time and is subject to location and culture. In addition, Muslim believers do not take pork while Christians do and Alcohol is unacceptable to Islamic religion while Christians condemn its excess consumption. Moreover, Islam do not value the external establish of governance and it acknowledges that human satisfaction should exist in both the visible and the invisible worlds where the Supreme law applies. The secular laws thus if separated from the religion, are not primary. Contrary, the Christian Secularism has a modern interpretation. Initially, the Biblical teachings did not differentiate Church from the secular governance and thus secular law should not govern Christian scriptures but because of the flexibility in the religion, man has influenced to govern the scriptures (Gaudet, Mills, & Ali, n.d.).

In conclusion, the power of the Christian and Jewish teachings, is not superior to the Muslim teachings and what Christianity and Jewish teach, is a belief in gods or god, not necessary according to order of occurrences, but preliminary perspective to Islam. From the Islamic Surah Fateha to the Lord's prayer, the message of adoration, submission and supplications are similar, only the use of different languages. Through the respective teachings on the right practices, morals and beliefs, it is possible to establish the similarities and the differences on the two religions. As these vary across the world, they dictate how the teachings manifest themselves. The Islamic religion is strict on its teachings irrespective of location where else Christianity may lag on some issues as the respective cultures may determine. Thus, Islamic region is supreme in its teachings and does not compromise the message, unlike Christianity.

1997). It should be clear that the basic underlying concepts of both Christianity and Islam are remarkably similar. Yet despite these similarities, different interpretations of the two religions' theologies concerning the ethos and telos have created many conflicts over the centuries. Oddly, it is similar interpretations of these theological imperatives that has led to the misunderstandings between the people of these religions.

" (Koran, 2:36) A punishment dealt herein concerns man's occupation of earth as a home, with God endowing it only a finite capacity to host mortal life. Again, the contrast between the implications to man's punishment for Original Sin in the two texts can be traced to the contrast in man's assumed composition.
