A:

One connection is in art. You will notice that Christian and Buddhist portraits often have halos around the head of the person depicted. Religious portraiture is less common in Islam, especially Sunni Islam, but the prophet Muhammad has been depicted with a halo. The origin of the halo is with the sun god, Apollo, whom Alexander brought to the East.

Of course, we know that Islam arose in southern Arabia, where Judaism and Christianity had both made substantial incursions into ancient beliefs. Much of Islamic belief originates with the Christian beliefs of the time, particularly Nestorian Christianity.

Christianity has an indirect link back through Judaism to the Persian Zoroastrian religion, which is believed to have originated amongst the Aryan people of southern Russia, the same region in which the Hindu religion originated. Many centuries after Hinduism and Zoroastrianism had both migrated south out of the Aryan homeland, the Jews made contact with Zoroastrianism during the Babylonian Exile, and the Buddha founded a new faith in the Hindu milieu. There will be a connection here, to the extent that Zoroastrianism and Hinduism shared some ancient beliefs.

Christian missionaries and Buddhist missionaries began to enter China around the same time, in the sixth century. The Buddhist missionaries could not translate their sacred documents into Chinese, and so approached the Christian bishop of Xi'an for help, which he generously provided. No matter how careful the Christians might have been in not colouring the translations with elements of their own beliefs, it is possible that some inadvertent adaptation occurred.
