The Old Testament is common for Jews and Christians and not Muslims. However, Torah that is part of the old testament is common to Muslims.
What Christians call the Old Testament is (with a change in the order of the books) the entire Hebrew Bible, the central holy book of Judaism. Islam accepts this text as a sacred text, although where the Koran disagrees with the Hebrew text, Islam holds that the Koran is correct and that errors have crept into the Jewish and Christian tradition.
Judaism has that Tanakh [comprised of the Torah (Law), Prophets, and Writings] Islam has the Qur'an. The Hebrew Bible, or Tanakh in Judaism, is holy to both Jews and Muslims as well as Christians. In addition the Qur'an is the chief holy book of Islam, similar to the New Testament's role in Christianity. However, Muslims believe that the Tanakh as the Jews have it is incomplete (no New Testament) and is corrupted (no Ishmael sacrifice). Please read more at the Related Questions.
Judaism does not feel that Jesus fulfilled any part of the role of the Jewish Messiah. It is Christianity and Islam that assert that he did.
Judaism plays a role much like Christianity, Islam, or Hinduism as a religion.Judaism isn't practiced as widely as Christianity, I guess because there wasn't as much spreading, and I guess the crusades helped Christianity spread a lot faster.A number of people practice Judaism in the United States, but it is a minority compared to Christianity.But, unless you want more elaboration such as the subject of Israel, the main role Judaism plays in society today is that of a practiced religion.Jewish Answer:One of the main roles that Judaism plays in society is to make the world a better place. This concept is called Tikkun Olam.
A:Islam accepts the prophets of Judaism, as well as Christianity's John the Baptist. Of course, only Islam teaches that Muhammad was the last prophet of God. Early Muslims accepted the Old Testament view that Abraham was told to sacrifice Isaac, but the consensus of later Islamic scholars is that it must have been Ishmael whom Abraham was to kill. This encouraged suspicion among Muslims that the Jews altered their own holy books to glorify Judaism. In most ways, Islam is more similar to Christianity than to Judaism. For example, Islam shares with Christianity a belief in hell and a belief that Satan is the evil adversary of God.Islam believes that Jesus had a divine role. Although not divine himself, Jesus was one of the great prophets, a view not shared by Judaism. The consequence of this belief is that Islam is closer to Judaism in one respect - they are both more strongly monotheistic than Christianity because of Christianity's belief in the divinity of Jesus (and of the Holy Spirit).Unique to Islam among the Abraham religions is belief in jinn. These were pre-Islamic spirits that are mostly evil but can be good.
Judaism makes no comment on Jesus as he is a part of Christianity and plays no role in Judaism.
Judaism: Jesus plays no role and is not discussed, people are born innocent and good, there is no devil, no hell, no damnation. Christianity: Christ was God reincarnated in order to die for sins Islam: Jesus is one of the 5 greatest prophets; namely Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them). They all believe in the same God.
Although the Christian Old Testament was based on the Tanach, it is not considered a valid religios text within Judaism, therefore it has no role in Judaism.Judaism is the one religion based exclusively on the Tanach (Jewish Bible). The Christian Old Testament was based on the Tanach but is not seen as a valid religious text in Judsaism as the OT was altered to support the teachings of Christianity.
Wine is considered a ritual drink in Christianity as it is a reflection of the blood sacrifice of the Christ. Since there is no blood sacrifice in Islam and alcohol is forbidden, wine has no role in Islam.
I wouldn't call it the birthplace of religion, but Jerusalem has played an important role in 3 major religions, which are (in chronological order) Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. None of these religions actually were born in Jerusalem.
In what three ways are Judaism and Christianity the similar
According to the teachings of Islam:The three prophets called for full submission (Islam in Arabic) to God, the one and only one God with no partner, no associate, no son, no companion, and no resemblance.Moreover, Islam is an Arabic word that means submission and surrender to God. The root of the word Islam is 'salem' that means being in peace. So, Islam means submission and surrender to Allah (God, the Creator) and hence fulfilling peace.In this sense Islam began by the universe creation where all God creatures were created with full submission (Islam) to God. Upon start of mankind, people were taught through God prophets to be on full submission (Islam) to God. All prophet missions; including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, were assigned to call people for and teach them to hold submission (Islam) to the one and only one God, the Creator, with no partner, no son, no associate, no companion, and no resemblance.According to the teachings of Judaism:Unlike both Christianity and Islam, Judaism is not based on the revelation of HaShem (The Creator) to a single person. This means that Judaism is based on national revelation. As such, the role of Moshe (Moses) in Judaism is very different from that of Jesus in Christianity and Muhammad in Islam. Although Moshe is considered to be the greatest prophet in Judaism, he was one of thousands of prophets. And although he was a strong leader, there were many other strong leaders after him.Moshe was also a strong example that we are not to blindly follow HaShem but rather, we are to question everything, including HaShem.
Mohammad plays no role in Judaism or Christianity.
