Why How are Judaism Christianity and Islam similar?

Answer 1

A:Muslims would say there Islam has similarities to Judaism and Christianity because all three religions worship a true God, who revealed himself to the prophets. Others would say the similarities exist because Muhammad already knew a good deal about Judaism and Christianity before he began to preach Islam.

Another View:

When Muhammad came, he came to correct the changes made to the Jewish and Christian scriptures. He was sent with a message that would not be lost, or changed - the Qur'an. This message is the original message of both Moses and Jesus, though the Jews and the Christians have deviated from it. The true message of Moses and Jesus - and, in fact, every Prophet - was that God is One God. The Only God. The way to salvation is by OBEDIENCE to Him. There is no special, "chosen" race; there is no "son" of God through whom salvation comes by belief alone. Nope. God is the King of everyone - and will judge everyone. That is the true and original religion of Abraham, Moses and Jesus. Soon the world will all gather together to kill the Muslims. The Anti-Christ will fool many people into following him and waging war against Islam. But Islam will win - and Jesus will return to declare to the whole world that Muhammad is the final Messenger of God. Want proof? Google the words: "Muhammad in The Bible" and read the articles which show that Muhammad is the long-awaited Messenger of the Covenant mentioned in the Bible. When Jesus returns the world will finally know peace. That is because the Law of God - as it is in the Qur'an - will be applied. There will be justice and peace because no one other than God will be worshipped. There will be no war, no poverty and no injustice. Everyone will finally follow the message of God's Last messenger.

Answer 2

The three religions are monotheistic religions that founded by same God; the Creator; the one and only one God. The three religions call for full submission to God (that means in Arabic Islam). They call for the same morals and conduct (for example don't lie, don't commit adultery; don't steal; help the poor; ... etc). The three religions have same ritual worships (praying, fasting, almsgiving, ... ) but done differently. Refer to related question below.

Answer 3

Islamic Perspective

Why the similarities? Because Judaism and Christianity originally stemmed from the true religion of Allah (God), which was Islam. Islam means submission to Allah (God). Therefore, humanity's religion was Islam from the time Adam (pbuh) was created.

Why the differences? Judaism and Christianity became what they are now when they differed and changed the consistent and original true teachings of all the prophets; i.e., Islam. Those original true teachings did not suit the desires of the people at the time, so they changed the teachings in order to have a better life in this world.

Jewish Perspective:

Why the similarities? Because Christianity and Islam originally stemmed from Jewish traditions. Christianity cited the purpose of Jesus Christ as being the fulfillment of Jewish Scriptures. Islam cited the purpose of Mohammed's prophecy to be the seal of the Judeo-Christian prophetic tradition.

Why the differences? Christianity was altered by the creation of a New Testament wherein Jesus and the members of the early church introduced new doctrines that abrogated several major Jewish beliefs and instituted new central beliefs that contradicted earlier Jewish tradition. Islam was developed using mismatched Old Testament, New Testament, Rabbinic Jewish, and Arab Henotheist religious concepts and societal norms. The mixture of non-Jewish source material, especially as concerns Arab customs and traditions serve to alter Islam from its partial Jewish basis.

Following are the beliefs that show that these three religions are almost similar.

Beliefs of the Muslims, the Jews and the Christians

(Islam, Christianity and Judaism):

1. Belief in Almighty Allah (God): God- Allah is ONE Allah. There is no god but He. He and He alone deserves worship. He is All-Knowing, All-Seeing. All power lies in His Hands. He will punish the sinners and reward the Good. He is Eternal, Unique, and incorporeal. There is nothing like Him.

2. Belief in Angels Created by Almighty God- Allah Karim from light. They are obedient to Allah Karim. Carry out His commands. The Jews and Christians also believe in the Angels.

3. The Muslims believe in all heavenly books, including Tora, Zaboor, the Bible, the last one being the Qur'an. The Jews believe in Torah being the heavenly book given to Hazrat Moses (AS). The Christians believe in the Bible.

4. The Muslims believe in all the Messengers (Prophets May peace be upon them all) of Almighty Allah- No distinction among them. Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) being the last Prophet of Islam. NO Prophet after him.

The Jews consider Hazrat Moses (AS) the Greatest Prophet. The Muslims also consider Hazrat Moses (AS) one of the Greatest prophets. The holy Qur'an mentions him the most. The holy Qur'an mention Hazrat Marry (AS) and Hazrat Jesus Christ (AS) in many verses with great respect and honor. Hazrat Marry (AS) was Virgin, got pregnant miraculously and gave birth to Jesus Christ AS.

5. The Muslims The Christians and the Jews believe in the life after death, resurrection and the Day of Judgment. Almighty Allah Karim is the Sole Ruler/Master of that Day. He enjoys the absolute authority to send people to Heaven or Hell. The Christians believe that Hazrat Jesus Christ (A) will save them.

6. The Muslims and the Jews believe that good and bad Destiny being in the Hands of Almighty Allah. No One can change his destiny.

7. Life hereafter: All the dead will be raised again and judged according to their good or bad deeds. There will be no death to them.

8. Hell and Heaven (Paradise)

9. The Muslims and the Jews believe that Nobody can take the responsibility of some other person's deeds.

10. All the power of decision making is in the Hands of Almighty Allah, and none else.

The Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. The Jews and the Muslims believe that attributing a Son, or Parents to God is the Greatest and Unpardonable sin.

The Jews believe that they successfully had Jesus crucified. The Christians also believe that Jesus was crucified and raised again.

The Muslims believe that the Jews tried to get Jesus (AS) crucified. The stakes were ready but Almighty God raised him alive to heavens and the person who got into the cell to take Jesus out was given the shape and form like Jesus and he was crucified. So the Jews and Christians are in doubt.

The Muslims believe that Jesus will come down from heavens before the last day. The Jews also wait for Messiah.
