Bible: Jesus = Son of God, the very nature of God, and the Word of God.
Koran: Jesus = son of Mary (only) and it is an unforgiveable sin (shirk) to call him equal with God, or God's son.
Bible: Jesus voluntarily died for mankind and was risen on the third day.
Koran: Jesus wasn't crucified and therefore not resurrected.
Bible: Jesus will come back to judge the world and take with Him all who accept Him as their Lord and Saviour.
Koran/Hadith: Jesus will return to convert people to Islam and break all crosses, judge people by Koran, get married and have 7 sons, be buried next to Muhammad's grave.
Bible: Salvation is only possible through faith in the Jesus Christ and the substitutionary atonement of the Cross. It is forgiveness of sins, and reconciliation with God.
Koran: Salvation is possible through good works and not guaranteed- it is up to Allah whether you will be saved or not. It is not so much forgiveness as escape from hell.
