Abstract

God has given us two kinds of commandments "al-awaamir wan-nawaahi" i.e. biddings and forbiddings whose violation is called "sin”. Christianity and Islam both are divine religions and their teachings are God-gifted. Their followers are required to lead their lives according to the commandments of God in order to succeed.But with the passage of time, Christians started distortions within their law. They, therefore, promoted the belief that every man is a sinner by birth.Christians believe that Adam (PBUH) committed sin. Islam teaches that every child is innocent by birth. The holy Prophet (BPBUM) said: “Every child is born on Islamic nature and his parents cause him to be Christian, Jew or Magian".Despite being distorted, Christianity does possess yet such teachings that resemble Islamic teachings. If these teachings are followed the mankind can be reformed though these teachings have its limitations. Islam is a final and ultimate religion and its teachings are, valid up to the day of resurrection. Also, these teachings have not been distorted. Islam has described each and every sin in detail more than the Christianity. If one follows Islamic teachings be can achieve success and salvation.
