What is the difference between a church and mosque?

Answer 1

Church

• worship place for christians

Mosque

• Worship place for Muslims

okay since that is said, since i am Muslim, i will say some of the less obvious differences

mosque is the English word for where a Muslim worships, most, if not all, Muslims call it a Masjid. This is an Arabic word that means a place where prostration (you know when ur touching your head on the floor) takes place. This is one thing that is different, i have never heard of people in a church prostrating, and i don't know what other kinds of differences you are looking for but these are very basic things

In addition to the above, that I fully agree upon:

The mosque (or masjid) does not include any icons or prophet pictures or statues as the church.

Answer 2

The church religion is Christianity and the Mosque religion is Islam. Followers of Christianity are called Christians and followers of Islam are called Muslims.The main differences between Islam (or Muslims) and Christianity (or Christians) are:

• Islam is God religion per Quran revelation to Prophet Muhammad. Christianity is God's religion according to the revelations throughout The Bible.

• Muslims believe that Jesus is one of the greatest prophets and messengers. Some Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God; some others believe that Jesus is himself divine. Some other Christians believe he is human and neither God nor son of God.

• Muslims believe in all prophets including prophet Muhammad and Jesus. Christians do not believe in the Prophet Muhammad.

• Muslims believe in all God holy books including Quran and the Bible, but they do not accept the authority of the Bible. Christians do not believe in the Quran as inspired scripture.

• Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified and just his likeness was thrown by God on another one who was crucified. Christians believe that Jesus was crucified as described in the Bible.

• Muslims believe that every one is responsible for his deeds (good or sinful) in front of God in the Day of Judgment and that those made net good deeds will be rewarded, by God mercy, with entering the Paradise while those who made net bad deeds, unless forgiven by God, will be punished by being pushed in Hell fire. Christians believe that all men and women are responsible for their sins and all deserve eternal damnation. Jesus' sacrifice made it possible for some to enter heaven through God's mercy, and not based on their own merit.

Hint: the above shows that both religions are different only in some faith issues that are regarding the relationship between yourself and your God which is a matter to be resolved by God on the Day of Judgment. However, both religions are quite similar in all issues regarding relationships among all people. In reality, there are no differences between the two religions regarding the way that people of different religions should treat each other. This, logically and spiritually, calls all people to live together in love, peace, and harmony regardless their different religions or beliefs.
