What teachings or beliefs does Islam share with Judaism and Christianity?

Answer 1

Although the specifics vary greatly between and even within these three faiths, some basic principles apply:

The same singular omniscient and omnipotent God (called Allah in Arabic, Elohim in Hebrew and something else in all the languages of the world) created the universe.

God has at times communicated to people through messengers (angels) and prophets.

God has expectations about how people are to live, expressed as commandments or laws.

God listens to prayer.

God entered into a covenant with Moses and led the nation of Israel out of bondage in Egypt. Certain other stories from the Hebrew Bible are also found in all three religions, but not all. The Holy Qu'ran tells the story of Abraham's binding of his son Ishmael, but Christians and Jews believe it was his son Isaac, for example.

Humans have a soul that survives in some form after death, although the specifics vary greatly.

Answer 4

• The three religions are from the same God, the one and only one God. Christianity is the religion per God revelation of The Bible to prophet Jesus while Islam religion is that religion per God revelation of the Quran to prophet Muhammad

• The three religions believe in God and his Angels, the second eternal life, the Day of Judgment, the Paradise and the Hell (The Jews don't believe in the Hell).

• The three religions are sharing the main morals and conducts that are for the benefit of humanity and nature.

• Although some Christians believe that Jesus is God or son of God while Muslims believe that Jesus is human and born by God miracle from the virgin Mary (Mariam), the three religions believe in the same God (the Creator).

• The three religions are similar in practicing mutual respect to their believers. Quran

Quran says (meaning English translation):

".... You will find the nearest in love to Muslims those who say 'we are Christians'. That is because amongst them are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world and they are not arrogant. And when they listen to the Quran revelation received by the Messenger (Muhammad), you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of the truth they have recognized. ... So because of what they said, Allah (God) rewarded them ...."

[Quran, chapter 5, verses 82-86]

Answer 5

In reality, there really is no similarity to best describe the Judeo-Christian
beliefs of God to the Muslim Islamic belief.

Judaism and Christianity have the Old Testament in common. Islam believes both
OT and NT have been partially corrupted in transmission while the Koran is
believed by Muslims to be the final and infallible revelation of God's will.

Though Muslims believe in God which they call Allah, Islam teaches that Allah
is all-powerful, sovereign and 'unknowable' while Judaism and Christianity both
teach the Creator God to be revealed as merciful, compassionate and knowable
(see Jeremiah 9:24 and John 17:3).

The Christian text teaches the God of the Old Testament was the Word and it was
He who Abraham and the other patriarchs and prophets worshiped. Islam teaches
the Word, aka Jesus 'as one of perhaps 124,000 messengers of prophets Allah has
sent and is one of the 25 listed in the Koran - but He is not the redeemer'
(Marvin Olasky, "Islam vs. Liberty," World, Sept 10, 2011).

Lastly, the Judeo-Christian God offers unconditional love to all sinners (see John 3:16-17). The Koran or Hadith never teach this about the love of God.

All in all, there are more differences and conflicts between the
Judeo-Christian texts and the Muslim text, as well as the Koran conflicts with
secular history.
