Religion is one of the most important aspects of the lives of millions of people around the world. In this article, we will talk about two of the most important founders of the main monotheistic religions: Muhammad and Jesus.

The revelation
According to Islamic tradition, Muhammad received a divine revelation from the angel Gabriel when he was 40 years old. This revelation became the Quran, the holy book of Muslims, containing the teachings and precepts of the Islamic religion. Muhammad is considered the last prophet sent by God to humanity to transmit his message and guide the faithful along the right path.
Teaching
Islam is based on the five pillars: profession of faith, prayer, charity, fasting and the pilgrimage to Mecca. In Islamic teaching, the importance of submission to the will of God and belief in the final judgment is emphasized. In addition, integrity, generosity and justice are valued, and usury, alcohol consumption and unjustified violence are prohibited.

He also presents the idea of the kingdom of God as the form of salvation and redemption, and the resurrection from the dead as the promise of eternal life.
The sacrifice
For Christians, Jesus' death on the cross is the definitive sacrifice that allows salvation and forgiveness of sins. Jesus becomes in El Salvador of humanity by giving his life for it.
