I've always wanted to know why the God of Islam (Allah) imposes so many rules and punishments on humans based on the Quran, and requires so many prayings per day while Christianity is more about a God of love and mercy who is trying to draw closer to the human race and is even willing to save the world through His Son Jesus Christ, and it is basically up to you how many times you want to pray per day? Hope it's not too hard to answer.....

Jesus(pbuh) has already warned in the Bible that you shall by no means enter the kingdom of heaven until your better than the Jews that is we should fast as the Jews fast but on a higher level(during ramadan), pray as the Jews pray but on a higher level, give charity as the Jews do, but on a higher level etc. We are imposed so many laws to stay close to God, to remember him each day, to remember him every moment, often in lives we get busy with ourselves and we hardly take time to Go to church for one day that is Sunday, does it make you closer to God?Every surah in the Quran starts with the sentence'
Bismillah Ir-rahman Nir-Rahim
Translation: In the name of Allah, the Most gracious, the most merciful.
Allah means One God, we believe that there is only one God and he has no sons and daughers.
Punishment is when you ascribe partners unto God and reject his laws. And Allah is warning the disbelievers as well believers to follow the straight path again and again.

Based on what I know about Christianity, Jesus Christ is actually God coming to earth in the form of human flesh so God doesn't really have a "son". Besides, I don't think God has a wife to be able to give birth to a son, isn't it? =P

God coming to earth? I believe Christians believe that Jesus is the one and only begotten son of God.
Perhaps you may be interested in seeing this Gospel which the churches conceal because of passages as this
"AT this time we with Jesus, by the word of the Holy angel , were gone to Mount sinai. And there Jesus with his disciples kept the forty days. WHen this was past , Jesus drew nigh to the river Jordan,to go to Jerusalem. Ane he was seen by one of them who believed Jesus to be God. Whereupon, with greatest gladness crying ever.. Our Lord Cometh!' having reached the city he moved the whole city saying Our Lord cometh, O Jerusalem; perpare thee to receive him!' And he testified that he had seen Jesus near to Jordan.
Then went out from the city every one, small and great, to see Jesus, insomuch that the city was left empty, for the women bare their children in their arms, and insomuch that they forgot to take food to eat.
When they perceived this, the governor and the high preist rode forth and sent a messenger to Herod, who in like manner rode forth to find Jesus, in order
that the sedition of the people might be quieted. Whereupon for two days they sought him in the wilderness near to Jordan, and the third day, they found him, near the hour of midday, when he with his disciples was purifying himself for prayer, according to the book of Moses.
Jesus marvelled greatly seeing the multitude which covered the ground with people, and said to his disciples : Perchance Satan hath raised sedition in Judaea. May it please God to take away from Satan the dominion which he hath over sinners.'
And When he said this the crowd drew nigh, and when they knew him they began to cry out:.. Welcome to thee, O our God!'
and they began to do him reverence, as unto God. Whereupon Jesus gave a great groan and said: ..Get ye from before me, O madmen, for i fear lest the earth should open and devour me with you for your abominable words! 'Whereupon the people were filled with terror and began to weep.
Then Jesus , having lifted his hand in token in silence, said: ... Verily ye have erred greatly , O Isrealites, in calling me, a man , your God. And i fear that God may for this give heavy plague upon the holy city, handing it over in servitude to strangers. O thousand a times accursed Satan, that hath moved you to this!'
And having said this, Jesus smote his face with both his hands whereupon arose such a noise of weeping that none could hear was Jesus was saying. Whereupon once more he lifted his hand in token of silence and the people being quieted from their weeping, he spake once more:.. I confess before heaven , and i call to witness everything that dwelleth upon earth, that i am a stranger to all that ye have said; seeing that i am man, born to a mortal woman, subject to the Judgement of God, suffering the miseries of eating and sleeping, of cold and heat, like other men. Wherefore when God shall come to Judge, my words like a sword shall pierce each one [of them] that believe me to be more than man'.."
