Compare the Quran’s
teachings on the relationship between Allah and human beings with the views of
Zoroastrians, Jews, and Christians discussed in earlier chapters.
The Quran sets some guidelines that establish it from other
religions; there is a clear subservience to God. Both Islam and Zoroastrianism share the idea
that one has to please their God, but they different in the degree of their
devotion. Zoroastrianism is a more
relaxed and moderate and allows indulgence in pleasures in moderation. Islam is a lot more strict and intense; they
have to fast during the daylight hours of Ramadan is one example. Then there’s the whole “mean and women who
guard their private parts.” Islam is
similar to Judaism in that both are monotheistic and have an all-powerful
God. The five pillars of Islam is similar
to the Ten Commandments Present in Judaism and Christianity. The Quran encourages people to be charitable
to those less fortunate just like what Christianity encouraged.
