Episode 14. Salvation. Words in scriptures and commentaries of those scriptures can be bandied and intertwined; the sense of the word is understood, but do we exactly understand the concept of salvation?  What do the Islam and Christianity have to say on the subject? And how do we achieve this? On reading, it appears that you cannot have salvation without sin. The Christian idea of “original sin” says that they are saved by the “blood of Jesus” who died to deliver them from their sin. What about Muslims? Can we be saved from repentance of all the bad we have done?
