We are living in an era in which the world is desperately in need of peace, friendship and solidarity.
Today, ideological struggles, indeed, continue to divide the world. However, Muslims, Jews and Christians are not at the opposing pole. In fact, one pole represents people who believe in God's existence and unity, and the other pole represents the unbelievers, who believe in such anti-religious ideologies as materialism and Darwinism which reject the fact of Creation and therefore God's existence. Over the last 146 years those irreligious ideologies have caused many people to abandon their faith or fall into doubt.
There have been conflicts and disputes between the members of these three religions in the past, but those were the result of the erroneous reasoning and evil motives of certain states, nations and individuals who pursued their own economic and political benefits instead of the central beliefs of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Concerning Islam and Christianity they are close and there is a common event which will end up with unity Incha'Allah (by God's willing).
All of the information we have indicate that Jesus (PBUH) second coming is imminent. These information depict the situation of the societies before Jesus (PBUH) second coming as follows:
In the Bible:
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the Last Days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God – having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. (2 Timothy, 3:1-5)
According to the Bible when these developments are taking place Jesus (PBUH) return will be imminent (Mathew, 24.33)
In the Qur'an and the Hadiths(sayings) of the Prophet Mohammad "may Allah bless him and grant him peace" the sings of the end times are very similar to those described in the Bible, here are some of them:
•The Hour will come when violence, bloodshed, and anarchy become common.
•In the End Times, such people will appear who will trade their religion in return for worldly benefits. To appear clement, they will wrap around sheep skin; their tongues will be sweeter than candy, but their hearts will be as hard as a wolf's heart.
•Deceiving years will pass by. During those years... people will trust the traitorous person, and the honest person will be deemed traitorous.
•People will not respect the elderly or show mercy to the young ones. Adultery will become widespread... to such an extent that people will commit adultery in the middle of a street.
•Hunger and the high cost of living will become widespread.
A verse from the Noble Qur'an says:
He [Jesus] is a sign of the Hour. Have no doubt about it. But follow me. This is a straight path. (Qur'an, 43:61)
Those who pay attention to what is going on in the world can see that these sings are taking place one after the other in our own time… people troubled by corruption, injustice, conflicts in different parts of the world…etc. These events take place in our daily news.
So, we have to unite against atheism and materialism. Hence, we should stress the fact we all believe in the same creator. We all love Jesus (PBUH) and wait for his second coming. We will anyway unite when he comes because we will all listen to what he says.
Therefore, we have to leave the disputes, the differences, but to focus on the similarities and to invite people to learn God's words which are based on concepts of morality, love, compassion, tolerance, sacrifice, peace and to live by them.

The love of Jesus (PBUH) made Christians virtuous throughout history. Allah describes Christians in the following terms:
You will find the people most affectionate to those who have faith are those who say: "We are Christians." That is because some of them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant. (Qur'an, 5:82)
Another translation:
You will find the nearest in love to the believers (Muslims) those who say: "we are Christians." That is because amongst them are priests and monks, and they are not arrogant. (Qur'an, 5:82)
By Hassan (2007)
