    Two religions, Islam and Christianity, were both founded by Abraham and his sons. Even with the same family founding them they have very diverse similarities and differences.

Although they describe a similar praise to their God, dictions and phrases from Sura 93 expressed through rhetorical questions change the passage into something with an accusable tone. Each passage shows a similar message of showing praise for their God because of all the things he’s provided the reader.…

    2. In the early 1600s, William Bradford, a Puritan pilgrim from England, wrote a journal [Sovereignty and the], recording all his experiences regarding his pilgrimage. When this text was written, the Church of England had started to persecute all those who did not follow their religion, which included the Puritans, who had to move to Leiden, Holland.

In the quote shown, William Bradford gratefully comments on how the pilgrims survived obstacles through their journey to the New World, in order to provide his religious insight on how God helped them out in times of need.…

    The individual is herein shown as lord and master of the world, of his own and unique world. A world that is at his disposal even until the final moment. The last verse, «I bequeath nothingness to no one», which works as testament (not from that who runs, not from that who abandons, but from that who destroys), goes beyond all of this, maximizing –or even better–making the coherence explicit: If he achieves his aim, there would not be nothing to be bequeathed nor anybody whom to bequeath. Because, in line with the metaphysics of the first person singular, for this individual and his world there have not ever been other than himself.…

When I read this chapter its message seems to travel to the depths of my soul.…

Repentance is also a topic that will be noted in regard to sanctification.…
