Christianity and Islam are the two largest Abrahamic, monotheistic faiths and share common historical roots, prophets (like Abraham, Moses, and Jesus), and belief in a judgment day. However, they are fundamentally and irreconcilably different on the central issues of God's nature (Trinity vs. absolute unity), the identity of Jesus Christ (Son of God vs. a human prophet), and the means of salvation (grace through faith vs. submission through works). These differences affect every major doctrine, making the faiths distinct paths.

The Bible does not offer a single comprehensive teaching on suicide, but it affirms the sanctity of life as a gift from God (Genesis 9:6) and condemns the taking of any human life, including one’s own. While the act is a tragic sin, the Bible’s core message is one of mercy. A Christian who dies by suicide does not lose their salvation, as salvation is based solely on the finished work of Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9), not on the manner of one's death.
