Islam and Mormonism have been compared to one another since the earliest origins of the latter in the nineteenth century, sometimes by detractors of one or both religions,[1] but also at least once by Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, himself.[2] Smith was also frequently referred to as "the Modern Muhammad" by several publications of the era, notably in the New York Herald,[3] shortly after his assassination in June 1844. This epithet repeated a comparison that had been made from Smith's earliest career,[4] one that was not intended at the time to be complimentary.[citation needed]
Comparison of the Mormon and Muslim prophets still occurs today, sometimes for derogatory or polemical reasons[5] but also for more scholarly and neutral purposes.[6] Although Mormonism and Islam bear many striking similarities in theology, practice, history, and ethos, there are also significant differences between the two religions. Mormon–Muslim relations have historically been cordial;[7] recent years have seen increasing dialogue between adherents of the two faiths, and cooperation in charitable endeavors.[8]
Mormons are frequently compared to Shia[9] and Ahmadi[10] Muslims specifically, with many noting distinct similarities in both groups' doctrine, history, culture, approach to missionary work, and general lack of acceptance from mainstream Christianity and Islam, respectively.[11]
