Islam vs Christianity: What You Need to Know

Did you know Jesus is mentioned in the Quran more often by name than Muhammad? In this episode of Truth Behind the Mike, we explore one of the most fascinating questions in interfaith understanding: What do Muslims believe about Jesus? Many Christians are surprised to learn that Islam deeply honors Jesus—known in Arabic as Isa. The Quran affirms His virgin birth, His miracles, and even calls Him the Messiah. Mary—Maryam—is also highly honored in Islam and is the only woman named in the Quran. But while there is meaningful common ground, the differences between Islam and Christianity are profound. In this video, we explore: What the Quran says about Jesus Why Muslims honor Jesus but do not worship Him The meaning of Tawhid and why it is central to Islam Why Islam rejects the idea that Jesus is the Son of God What Muslims believe about the crucifixion of Jesus The major difference between Christian salvation and Islamic belief Why these differences matter for understanding God, salvation, and truth If you’ve ever wondered: •  Is Jesus in the Quran? •  Do Muslims believe Jesus was crucified? •  Do Muslims believe Jesus is God? •  What is the difference between Jesus in Islam and Jesus in Christianity? …this episode is for you. My goal in this series is to help Christians better understand what our Muslim neighbors believe, while also clearly showing where Islam and Christianity agree—and where they fundamentally part ways.
