Islam and Christianity – Practicing Challenges: Any person who, with all the sincerity, is in search of God, is worthy of immense respect. There are many people around the world who believe in the existence of God but their faith is based more on rituals. However, some people are always in search of the true purpose of life.
For Muslims, five-time prayers everyday is a must which requires special preparation like performing ablution every time. A muslim must fast (avoid eating or drinking from dawn to dusk) the whole month of Ramadan every year.
Forbidden Acts in Islam:
Practicing Islam in true sense, is basically all about staying away from anything that is forbidden or haram. Acts such as:
- Abandoning the obligatory prayers
- Certain food and drinks such as pork and alcohol
- Indulging in backbiting
- Arguing or fighting
- Staring at or flirting with non-mehram (relations from the opposite gender who are allowed to marry each other in Shariah law) shall also be avoided
- Cheating or lying to anyone
- Hurting any living being deliberately
Faith of Christianity:
By turning to Christianity all of this changes entirely. The Christian faith centers on beliefs regarding the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Drinking is not problematic anymore. Free mingling and interacting with the other sex is more like a social thing rather than being a taboo.
What happens to Muslims going astray ?
If Muslims are aware of such a transition undertaken by a member of their community, then things might not be that smooth for him. Starting from parents the individual will start facing rejection not because, they don’t love them anymore, but because they don’t want to be looked at differently within the Muslim community.
This documentary focuses on what makes a person decide to undergo a change or stick to his faith and what he goes through. It tries to investigate the positive and negative aspects of undertaking a change rather judging a character by comparing logics.
