Answer 2

Islam, the religion based on Qur'anic Revelation, was founded most recently.

Archaeologists typically see Judaism as a younger religion than the date given by the Moses' revelation (1290 BCE). Some date it to around 800 B.C.E. when Josiah proclaimed Jewish Monotheism and other date it to Priestly Biblical source in 550 B.C.E. Regardless, Judaism would still be over 500 years older than Christianity and 1100 years older than Islam.

Answer 1

Islam is similar to Christianity. But not to Judaism.

Answer 2

Islam is much more similar to Judaism than to Christianity. Both reject the Trinity as the Godhead, are based in orthopraxis (doing over believing), have a form of religious jurisprudence based on their holy books, have dietary restrictions, and they pray in distinct holy languages at set intervals during the day. Christianity shares none of these things with Islam. The only things the Christianity shares with Islam that Judaism does not are the Devil, the End of Days, and Jesus although the interpretations of all three are rather different between the two religions.

Both Islam and Christianity have their roots in Biblical Judaism. It's just a matter of opinion as to which is "closer."
