~Law #3~

Islamic and Christian law seem the same but they are very different. It is easy to glace at the two and say "Oh! They are the same!" but they are most defiantly not. When you take a deeper look and actually look into the laws, you will find that they are completely different.

First of all, Islamic people believe in the Shari'ah law. Shari'ah law is the code of law derived from the Koran. On the other hand, Christians believe in Divine law which is the law that is believed to come directly from God. The Islamic view of law involves politics, economics, banking, business, contracts, social issues, and much more. This is so that the law is involved in every part of everyone’s life. Not following the Islamic laws in an Islamic society would get you punished or worse killed. While the Christian view comes directly from the bible and leaves worldly stuff outside of it unlike Islamic law.

Seconed, Shari'ah law is extremely binding. These laws seem to put punishment at the top and that's rather unfair. The christian law is the complete opposite, it's all about forgiveness and freedom and the like. When you look at Islamic and Christian laws you can see that, to an Muslim your good deeds are all that matter, one screw up and for lack of a better word, your screwed. But a Christian knows that we can repent, we become redeemed and we all can end up in heaven if we only accept Jesus into our heart.

Last of all, Islamic law doesn't have any personal relationship what so ever with Allah. On the other hand, Christians do have a personal relationship. Our God knows and understands us. He offers us his hand when we fall and helps put us on he right track again unlike Allah then Islamic equivalent of Jesus/God.
