This is not valid in Islam. No one; per Islam teachings; is holy or is having fire or light around his/her head.

Does Islam draw from both Judaism and Christianity?

Yes. Some aspects of Islam can be traced back to Orthodox Christianity and Judaism, while others come from Gnostic Christianity and Nestorianism.Answer 2Yes. According to the Muslim belief, Islam is the continuation of Judaism and Christianity. The Muslims believe in all the Prophets (May peace be upon them all). Islam and Judaism both spring from Hazrat Abraham (AS) and his descendant Prophets. The Jews don't believe Jesus Christ (AS) to be a Prophet but the Muslims believe that he was a true Prophet of Almighty God. The Jews and Christians don't believe in the last Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) but the Muslims believe in all the Prophets the Jews believe in.Answer 3There is no question that Islam was heavily influenced by Judaism and Christianity, directly and indirectly. Very many concepts and quotes in the Qur'an (the book of Islam) are taken verbatim from the Torah, the Hebrew prophets, and Talmud narratives. The Talmud was already recorded in writing by no later than 500 CE*, before the time of Muhammad, making it a simple matter to quote from it too.*(Footnote: as stated in the Encyclopedia Britannica, under "Talmud and Midrash.")Examples:1) Qur'an:"...Whoever killed a human being, except as punishment for murder or other villainy, shall be deemed as though he had killed all mankind; and whoever saved a human life shall be deemed as though he had saved all mankind."Judaism:"Whoever kills a single individual it is considered that he has slain the entire world, but he who preserves the life of a single individual it is counted as if he has preserved the whole world." Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5.2) Qur'an: The famous narrative of how the young Abraham smashed his father's idols -Judaism: - is taken from the Jewish midrash (Genesis Rabbah 38:11-13).3) The following Hebrew-Bible characters are found in parallel Qur'an-narratives:Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Lot, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Jethro, David, Solomon, Elijah, Elisha, Jonah, Zachariah, and Job.4) Arthur Jeffery writes in "The Foreign Vocabulary of the Quran", in page 1 of the introduction:"One of the distinct impressions gleaned from a first perusal of the Quran, is that of the amount of material which is borrowed from the religions that were active in Arabia at the time when the Quran was in process of formation. It is plain that Muhammad drew his inspiration not from the religious life and experiences of his own land and his own people, but from the great monotheistic religions which were pressing down into Arabia in his day."5) Charles Torrey in "The Jewish Foundation of Islam", writes on page 43: "It was at home, not abroad, that the Muhammad received the Biblical and Haggadic narratives which occupy so large a part of the Koran."

Which religion doesn't draw God?

Buddhism does not specifically focus on the concept of a singular, omnipotent god figure. Instead, it emphasizes the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) on achieving enlightenment and understanding the nature of suffering.

What came first Buddhism or Christianity?

Buddhism came before Christianity, it was founded around the fifth century BC in India. Christianity began at 1st century AD in Jerusalem.Addition to above:Whilst Jesus actually walked on the earth 2000 years ago, Christians believe that he was prophesised many hundreds of years before by Old testament prophets, and in John's Gospel, he begins with the proclamation that Jesus was present as God at Creation (or as we would call it now, the 'Big Bang'). This reflects the similar verses at the start of the Old Testament where God is placed at the beginning of Creation as the Creator (the Father) who gave the Word (the Son), through his Spirit that spread over the newly created world (the Holy Spirit) - hence the Trinity was present - Jesus being just one part - at the moment of Creation. So in theological terms it could be argued that Christ, the founder of Christianity, predated Buddhism by many many hundreds, if not thousands or millions of years. However, many Buddhists, going off of the Aṣṭasāhasrikā prajñā-pāramitā, have a similar concept called Dharmakaya, the essence of existence and the universe, to which the Buddhas are Nirmanakayas of, and thus these Buddhists can make the same such claims, making Buddhism, in theological terms, thousands of millions of years older than Christianity.Answer:Buddhism by 500 years.However, if you consider that Buddhism and Christianity draw fundamentals from two different sources, Christianity from traditions common to Judaism and Buddhism from Hinduism. The base religions were founded in 3000 BCE for Hinduism and 1500 BCE for Judaism (both estimates)Therefore in some ways Buddhist roots go back 1500 years further than Christianity's roots or 3000 years earlier if Christianity is considered a stand alone faith founded in 1 CE.Buddhism is much 500 years older than Christianity. It was established by Siddhartha Gautama sometime between the sixth and fourth century BCE. Siddharth was a prince who became concerned with the suffering of the world and gave up all of his worldly goods and desires to seek enlightenment (nirvana). Once he attained this he taught his followers how they too could attain this state. One who has attained enlightenment is a "buddha". Buddhism is thought to have influenced some thinking in the early Christian Church.
