Which makes more sense Islam or Christianity

Christians normally claim that Islam does not make Any

sense because why would God leave human kind for
thousands of years then all of the sudden send a prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him with a new message and a
book in Arabic
In fact, Islam is the most logical and comprehensive religion.
A fair, and balanced research would lead any unbiased person
to come to this conclusion. Islam is the most logical, natural
and fulfilling way of life but since the claim is from Christians
mostly, for the purpose of this article I will try to explain
logically why Islam is more logical than Christianity.

God

Islam
God is one the creator of the universe, God in Arabic is Allah.
Arab Christians also call God (Allah).
Christianity
The One God exists in Three Persons and One Substance."
God the father, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit., and
those three are one, and equal.
Although Christians say they are equal, you will never hear
them say it in any other order except father son Holy
Spirit. If they are equal can they say Holy Spirit son
father?
According to the doctrine of the Trinity, the Father and Son
are co-equal. If that is true, how can the Father be (in any
way) greater than Jesus? I am going to the Father, for the
Father is greater than I.
Is it clear who is God from the book?

Islam
It is crystal clear who is God in Islam, one God, the creators,
and no partners to associate with him in worship. The Quran
goes in length about Allah, and his attributes, and his 99
names, for example The Master of the Universe," as stated in
Verses 22-23, Chapter 26 of the Holy Quran, The Beneficent,
The Merciful, There is nothing like unto Him, and He is The
Hearer, The Seer (Al-Shoura, 42: 11), and the many

attributes of Allah.
Christianity
It is not clear from the bible about the trinity, there is no
single verse in the whole bible about the 3 gods in one. The
only verses in the whole Bible that explicitly ties God, Jesus,
and the Holy Spirit in one "Triune" being is the verse of 1
John 5:7, it has been taken out of most English translations
bible because "The text about the three heavenly witnesses
(I John 5:7 KJV) is not an authentic part of the New
Testament." [The Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible, Vol. 4,
p.711, Abingdon Press.]
If that concept was so important, why is it not in the bible
(the guidance for followers)? Leave it for interpretation based
on peoples wishes and desires? If you give the bible to
someone who never heard of trinity, and ask them to extract
this out, they will not. It is like giving someone a title of a
book, how to learn French in 10 days, you read the whole
books, and it has nothing to do with French, the same could
be said about the trinity and the bible.
Who to worship?
Islam
It is very clear from the Quran who to worship. Many verses
in the Quran ,Allah tell us to worship him, for example Say:
He is Allah, (the) One; (1)Allah, the Eternal; (2)He did not
beget (give birth) and He was not begotten (given birth to);
(3)And there has never been anyone equal to Him. (4) (112: 14). And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that

they should worship Me (Alone). [Az-Zariyat 51:56]

And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him
[Al-Isra 17:23]
Say (O Muhammad P.B.U.H): Come, I will recite what your
Lord has prohibited you from: Join not anything in worship
with Him. [Al-Anam 6:151]
Every Muslim in His Five Prayers confirms this Belief:
You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for
each and everything) [Al-Fatihah 1:5]
Christianity
Again it is not clear, there is no single verse of Jesus sayings
in the bible, which explicitly state to worship him, or that he
is one of three God/s. in fact the bible states that Jesus
peace be upon him was praying to someone God, my God,
why have you forsaken me"? (cf. Mark 15:34; Matthew 27:46)
Was he praying to himself? If so, was he complaining to
himself about why he had forsaken himself?
One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray,
and spent the night praying to God Luke 6:12 who was he
praying to? To himself?
The messengers/ prophets.

Islam

God created Adam, and then thought our father how to

repent, after he disobeyed God, and thought him who our
enemy was. Adam peace be upon him was a messenger to his
children, and he was the first messenger on Earth, the
message was the same, worship one God, and do not
associate any partners with him and follow the messenger.
Humans are not sinless but messengers are protected from
major sins but not from minor sins .
Allah has established proof against His servants by sending
the Messengers and sending down the Books. They were not
sent to one nation to the exclusion of others. Rather they
were sent to all nations, in different places and at different
times, as Allah say
Verily! We have sent you with the truth, a bearer of glad
tidings, and a warner. And there never was a nation but a
warner had passed among them. [Faatir 3524]
Muslims have to believe in all the prophets and messengers
of God, equally, without distinction. In the Holy Quran (2:136,
285, and 3:84 etc.) it is stated clearly: "We make no
distinction between them".
Indeed, We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people and he said: O my
people! Worship Allah! You have no other Ilah (God) but Him.
Certainly, I fear for you the torment of a Great Day! [Al-Araf
7: 59]

The Quran mentions the names of 25 prophets and indicates

there were others. It says:
Of some messengers We have already told you the story; of

others We have not; - and to Moses God spoke direct. (Quran

4:164)
The Names of the 25 Prophets Mentioned are as follows:
Adam
Idris (Enoch)
Nuh (Noah)
Hud (Heber)
Salih (Methusaleh)
Lut (Lot)
Ibrahim (Abraham)
Ismail (Ishmael)
Ishaq (Isaac)
Yaqub (Jacob)
Yusuf (Joseph)
Shuaib (Jethro)
Ayyub (Job)
Dhulkifl (Ezekiel)
Musa (Moses)
Harun (Aaron)
Dawud (David)
Sulayman (Solomon)
Ilias (Elias)
Alyasa (Elisha)
Yunus (Jonah)
Zakariya (Zachariah)
Yahya (John the Baptist)
Isa (Jesus)
Muhammad
So Muhammad peace be upon him did not come with a new
message, it was the same teaching of all the messengers
before him including Ibrahim, Jesus, and Moses peace be

upon them all. The message stayed the same, worship one
God without any partners.

Christianity
You would expect that major events such as the crucifixion
and the resurrection of Christ, that make up the entire case
for Christianity, to be at least prophesied by the prophets/
messengers in the old testament, without any ambiguity, and
without any deliberate mistranslations and lies. The Truth
and the sad reality for the believers in the crucifixion,
"trinity", doesn't even exist in the entire Bible.
So what were the messengers teaching before the coming of
son of God?
The same massage of Islam .. None has the right to be
worshipped but God, the One and the Only True God
(Quran 3:62)
Thou shalt have no other gods before me Exodus 20:3 =
Deuteronomy 5:7
Even Jesus peace be upon him said the same [And one of the
scribes came, and asked him, Which is the first
commandment of all? And Jesus answered him, The first of
all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is
one Lord:] (Mark 12:28-29, KJV)
[Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.] (Matthew 5:17)

In fact according to the bible the prophets prayed the way

Muslims pray
"And he (Jesus) went a little farther, and fell on his face, and
prayed (Matthew 26:39)
"And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the
earth, and worshipped." (Exodus 34:8)
And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship
(Joshua 5:14)
Conclusion
Islam is the religion, which was given to Adam peace be upon
him the first man and the first prophet of Allah, and it was the
religion of all the prophets, may Allah exalt their mention,
sent by Allah to humankind. Islam means the complete
submission and obedience to Allah (God). Therefore, all
prophets were indeed MUSLIMS because they were true
submitters to the will of ALLAH, the Creator. Prophet
Muhammad peace upon him was the seal of prophets, he was
sent to present Allah's revelation in its final form and for the
last time. This was necessary because the message
delivered by the previous Prophets and Messengers, peace
upon them all, had been corrupted or distorted by their
followers. Allah took it upon Himself to guard the last
message (i.e. the Quran) from corruption. He says in the
Quran :"Verily, it is We Who have sent down the message (i.
e., the Quran) and surely, We will be its guardian. [Quran
15:9]
In contrast the trinity in Christianity does not make any
sense, The One God exists in Three Persons and One
Substance." God the father, God the son, and God the Holy

Spirit., and those three are one, and equal. Do the scriptures
show Jesus and his Father to be co-equal? Jesus himself
answers at John 14:28, "The Father is greater than I am." Non
of the prophets taught trinity. The whole religion is based on
the dying son who will die for our sins but he does not even
mention it! so God sacrificed himself to himself so human
kind can go back to heaven as the sin of Adam made us
unholy. God does not want to forgive the sin of Adam, instead
he sends his son ( that is him too) to be humiliated, spat on,
and killed on the cross, and that the only way to forgive
human kind!! It makes perfect sense
