In Muhammad's passage I could definatly see the relationships between Islam and Christianity. One of the parts that stands out to me is how he talks about the kingdom of heaven which was Jesus's main message. He also talks about the earth being created in six days which is what Christians also believe. In class we talked about how Muhammad believed in both Christian and Jewish tradition. This passage truly shows this.
"Whoever knows himself knows God." This is one of my favorite lines in this passage and it brings me back to other religions that we have studied. You can not truly know God unless you know who you are first.
"Do not despise the world, for the world too is God." To me this means that despising the world is despising not only God but all that he created. Over all i think that Muhammad had some wonderful messages to share.
