I'm pointing out the order they are listed in the Koran.
Yes, by the Koran, Muslims are required to believe in those 5 things to be judged righteous in the eyes of
allah - NOT GOD.
Don't confuse the two or use them interchangeably - they are different.
And while end of time belief is prominent in the New Testament and in the life of the early church, today belief in the end of days is almost optional or generally ignored by most. Additionally, the Christian understanding is significantly different from the islamic dogma.
One example:
Did you know that
islamic jesus (Isa Al-Maseeh) is going to come back and slay all the jews AND Christians who don't convert to islam?
Little different that the Christian understanding of the second coming of Jesus Christ?
