I wanted to share this video because I don’t think words alone capture the stark differences between Christianity and Islam. This video was made in the United Kingdom to encourage Muslims to pray

Yeah Islam even teaches that if you believe in the Trinity or “partners” as they call it that is the one sin God will not forgive in other words you’re going to hell so in Islam God is much more vengeful and therefore he should be feared. Islam teaches Muslims to always fear the wrath of God. Doesn’t sound very loving does it?
 
This says why Allah supposedly created man; it does not say how, i.e., in his own image or some other manner.
anns82 question was “why” not “how”, however, Aydan answered that for you…
 
Muslims believe that a person’s soul enters the body 120 days after conception …
But that would be today, and it misses the question. The Islamic story of creation has man evolving from a clump of clay to a thinking being with a soul over a long period of time. At what point in this long period of time did the first human soul enter the picture?
 
As far as I can tell the soul comes in the picture 120 days after conception. But there is debate on this issue so I suspect the reason that you never gotten am answer is that this is a question that only Muslim scholars can address. I’ve given you the best answer I could I’m not a Muslim and and this is something that has not come up in my studies of Islam and Turkey.
