Islam vs Christianity? Imam Rashad Explains Why We MUST Unite | Inside the Vault

“No Christian can point to any verse where Jesus says, ‘I am God.’” That one statement from Imam Rashad Abdul sets the tone for one of the most important, necessary, and misunderstood conversations in Black America. In this episode of Inside the Vault with Ash Cash, we unpack religion, identity, economics, unity, and the shared struggle that connects Black Christians and Black Muslims more than it divides them. Imam Rashad is a scholar of Quranic Arabic, comparative religion, philosophy, and a leading voice in helping African Americans reconnect with faith, history, and economic power. Together, we explore: 🔥 The REAL relationship between Christianity & Islam 🔥 Why 20–40% of enslaved West Africans were Muslim 🔥 The role of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in forming the Western world 🔥 How theology was shaped after Jesus — and why that matters 🔥 Why Black Christians & Black Muslims MUST unite today 🔥 The psychology created by slavery, separation, and miseducation 🔥 How Islam teaches money, wealth, stewardship, and economic empowerment 🔥 The need for a NEW religious language for Black America 🔥 The rise of Islam in the U.S. and what it means for our community 🔥 Why both faiths share the SAME mission for liberation This is not a debate. This is a roadmap for spiritual clarity, historical truth, and community unification. 🕋 Follow Imam Rashad Abdul: Instagram: @rashadabdul_ YouTube: The Quran & Society Podcast 📘 Get the book: Islam for New Muslims — A guide for new Muslims, reverts, Christians seeking clarity, and anyone exploring faith. 🔥 Follow Inside the Vault: @InsideTheVault 🔥 Follow Ash Cash: @IAmAshCash 👇 Comment “INSIDE” if you believe faith should unite us, not divide us.
