the quran was written after the new testament hence why there's no mentions.

their belief is that muhammed was the last prophet, every prophet that's in the bible is also mentioned in the quran, including jesus.

Ngl I didn’t really want to go into this but I haven’t yet heard an unbiased answer to this.
I respect both religions, but Islam just always confused me.

It’s such a scary religion, that you suffer the most painful torturous futures for being ignorant to not believe in the “right” God.. that we couldn’t have known for certainty beforehand, in this life.
A saint who isn’t Islamic will be punished more than a thief/murderer who is.
It seems like this entire priority list where they care more about being the right religion than being the right person, was used perhaps to gain sudden rise in numbers of this religion?
Especially when paired with extreme sadistic fears of afterlife.
Fear is the most powerful motivator.

Was this used perhaps to make up for the gap that Christianity had in the 600 years?

That’s the one part where Christianity actually makes sense. Because in Christianity, being a good person matters more than believing in the right God. I would figure God would want us to be good humans. It’s unreasonable to expect everyone (or anyone) to have knowledge of absolute truth, in the fixed parameters of reality.

And then comes the physical manifestations of our futures in the afterlife. Like the idea of finding 72 virgins in Heaven.
It seems like it was a ploy at the time, 7th century, to make people relate to it, through depicting ideas of physical realities.
Most religions believe in a soul. You think in an existence that is outside this material Universe/ dimension, that it is still going to be governed by the same laws of nature? That we will still be suppressed to being fundamentally primal human beings, with the same carnal desires, rather than entities or life forms (souls).
It would likely be a more spiritually based afterlife if anything. Out of all infinite possible existences, I just feel like relating the fact that we are still going to be there with our human bodies and our human instincts (when we can feel more fulfilment getting closer with God), chasing virgins… it just seems like it was made in the 7th century to appeal to the people who at the time were controlled by their Earthly desires.

I’m just curious. I feel in the 7th century, fear of painful afterlife and potential to fulfil hedonistic yearns were specifically chosen..
It just seems so tacky, simple.. as if these ideas were purposely used to convert those around them at the highest efficiency, at the expense of everything else.
As this is something all the humans at that time could relate to, and prioritised.
