When people first realized they were human, they asked important questions. Who created the world? What happened before they appeared on earth and what will happen to them after? Does a person have control over his future or are human destinies predetermined from above? Does absolute evil exist, and if so, why does it exist? What are the basic norms of human behavior and what happens to those who do not receive due reward in earthly life for both good and evil? Many people draw answers to these and other questions from the sacred texts, where God’s commandments and the revelations of the prophets are written and the instructions of the saints. In this book, the most important questions of humanity are answered by the two most influential world religions - Islam and Christianity. The texts of the Gospel and the Koran have much in common. Both religions severely condemn any manifestations of evil and injustice. Both religions welcome universally recognized human values: mercy, love, patience, respect for elders. No religion preaches violence, unjust wars and misanthropy.
