Answer Continuation: Christians have as part of their scripture the writings of Judaism (called the Old Testament in the christian Bible).

Break: Christians accept Jesus as the Messiah, while Jews believe the Messiah has not come yet.

Answer Christianity is a continuation of Judaism because Christians worship the same God and use the Jewish scriptures as its Old Testament.

Christianity is a break from Judaism because it rejects many of the principles of Judaism, creates a Holy Trinity in contrast to the strict monotheism of Judaism, introduces many new beliefs such Satan as the evil adversary of God, and hell; and radically reinterprets the Hebrew scriptures to suit a New Testament agenda.

It was, in fact, not a break from the past. Jerusalem is still a sacred city for the Muslims. Islam is the continuation of Judaism and Christianity.

His wish was granted by Almighty Allah.
