This paper delves into the lives and historic accomplishments of Mohammed, considered by many to be the greatest prophet
of all times and Jesus, regarded by his
followers as the son of God. This paper details the various similarities between the two men including the fact that both were known to spend much time in solitary contemplation and spiritual thought. Both Jesus and Mohammed preached the belief in one God. This paper also examines the dramatic
differences between the two which centered around divinity. While Mohammed is seen as the most important prophet to the followers of Islam he is not regarded as a deity. On the other hand a large portion of Christians believe that Jesus is the true son of God and the cornerstone of their faith. This paper also discusses the similarities and differences in Islam and Christianity. The writer contends that followers of both Islam and Christianity feel it is their duty to spread the word about their religion in an attempt to convert others.
