The religions of the Islamic and Byzantine Empire were quite different from each other. The Islamic Empire's religion obviously Islam, and the Byzantine Empire's religion was Christianity. There are many differences between the two religions. One of them being what they think of Jesus. The Muslims believe that Jesus is only a prophet and he was not crucified on the cross. The Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God and he was crucified on the cross.
In the Qu'raan, the holy book of Islam, verse 4:156-159 states that the Christians were told that he (Jesus) was killed. However he was not killed or crucified, it only looked that way. "The son of Mary. The Messenger of Allah". From the website www.islamawerness.net Osama Abdallah collected information stating the Muslims believe that Jesus was never crucified on the cross, it was not his desire either and he was not dying for the sins of others. Verse 3:59 states that Allah considers Jesus to be a son of Adam and not Himself.
In the Bible, the holy book of Christianity, John 5:20 it says that they have known that the "Son of God" has arrived and that he has given the people knowledge that proves that "Jesus Christ" is the true son of God. In Corinthians 1:23-24 it says that they, the Christians, worship Christ's Crucifixion.
