criptures used by Christian are The Old and New Testament. The Old Testament tells about God's relationship with His people before Jesus' time whereas the New Testament consists primarily of Jesus' life stories and his teachings.
             The heart of Islam is not a person but the revelations, called Qur'an which literally means "reading" or "reciting". The revelation was received by Muhammad in the seventh century. He claimed no divine power nor extraordinary knowledge, merely a man chosen by God or Allah to serve as His messenger. The word Islam means submission to the will of Allah. A Muslim is one who surrenders to Allah. Central to Islam is its confession of God as Creator and the only God. The oneness and unity of God is indisputable. Qur'an is believed to have such lyrical beauty and power unsurpassed that it cannot and should not be translated. Allah had spoken to ancient prophets to convey messages and warning to humans who had rebelled against Him. Those earlier revelations, however, had been incomplete, and they had been obscured and confused in their passage through time. Muhammad was to be the last and the greatest of all prophets, the Seal of Prophets, and the message he received was the final and complete reminder to all people. If Christianity supercedes Judaism, then Islam supercedes both of them and Qur'an was the final corrective in the monotheistic tradition. With the second largest number of followers in the world, the influence of Islam certainly cannot be underestimated too.
             Salvation is the ultimate goal of Christians as well as Muslims. Salvation essentially means freedom and the quest for freedom has always been the primary theme of humans' history. That is why it is tremendously important for both believers. Salvation plays a critical role in both religions and it has long been one of the major stage set of pros and cons between Muslims and Christians.
