The similarities that I found in Islam ad christianity is the time that they take to ensure that their place of worship is a beautiful place.
I chose Christianity and Islam because they can relate in many ways. And I already had a basic understanding on Christianity because I follow it so I wanted to further my knowledge on Islamic Religion and compare my new found knowledge to each other.
I enjoyed watching both films
Islam
Various significant Islamic mosques were examined. This video started out by describing the first great masterpiece of Islamic art built in the seventh century, the Dome of the Rock. The Great Mosque of Kairouan has a amount of columns in the prayer room and it is remarkable. It was said that the intended propose of these series of columns was to create a sort of forest to block the view between those who pray and the imam. It was also dim, faintly light by countless chandeliers, in the prayer hall to help people focus on their prayers. In Islam, the relationship between people who pray and god is direct.
Christianity
In Christianity, so many events take place in the churches-- births, marriages, services, funerals, and more. I learned that a lot of these churches were created over time with a variety of inspiration and contributions. For example, the San Vitale church brought together cultural traditions of Greece and Rome. Something that I found interesting was the decor of the Durham Cathedral was described as "Romanesque". This was known as the first church in the world that had pointed arches at the top, inspiring many others.
