Chapter 2

JESUS AND MUHAMMAD

Nothing brings out the contrast between Islam and Christianity so much as a comparison between the Islamic attitude towards Jesus (pbuh) and the Christian attitude towards Muhammad (pbuh). For, while Muslims believe in Jesus as a great prophet of God and love and respect him as the Prophet Muhammad, the Christians not only reject Muhammad, but are never tired of speaking of him in the most disparaging manner.

An impartial study of their lives will, however, show that the prophets of Islam and Christianity were both godly men, completely dedicated to the task of preaching God's Religion, of delivering men from error and sin and making the Will of God prevail in the world.
