Islam

Answer 1

Salam Alaykom

The prophets who started these religions all had 1 thing in common: They were Muslim.

After the holy books from the other two became corrupted, Allah-swt- sent prophet Muhammed-pbuh- to revive true Islam mostly through the Quran.

From 1,300+ years ago to this day, the Quran remains uncorrupted. (MashaAllah)

Answer 2

There is really not much in common between the early followers of Judaism, Christianity and Islam since the the early followers of all three, as defined by the the codification of the religion all started in very different places.

Judaism was first defined by a wandering tribe of people who were beginning to settle and cultivate a new piece of land. They became vigorous defenders of that land when necessary, but were primarily farmers. Their United Kingdom (the Davidic Kingdom), was a regional secondary power at its height before breaking up and becoming vassals or occupied by larger powers.

Christianity was born in a time of persecution and repression of non-pagan faiths in the Roman Empire. The early history of Christendom was defined by a profound statelessness and fear of being found to be a Christian. Major Christian cities are dotted with underground catacombs where Christians lived to avoid this persecution. This need to continue hiding created numerous heterodoxical Churchs as communication between all Christians was minimal. When Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity in 314 C.E. a paradigm shift occurred. Christians were able to organize and attach themselves to the State Structure, which Christianity then used to bolster its own power and regional influence. It also began state-supported proselytization and expansion.

Islam was born to Arab tribal merchant families who were more prone to warfare than most sedentary tribes and plagued with disunity. Islam served to unite the Arab tribes (after much conflict) under one banner. Arabia had been, for much of history, up to that point, undesirable barbarian territory and when the Arabs were actually united under one banner, it took the world by surprise. Since Islam was the foundation of the new Arab regime, Islam enjoyed a native state structure and theocratic power. The Arabs were also able, in a very short period of time, to conquer vast swathes of territory and convert large numbers of people in that period.

Many attributes make Islam unique. Some of them are:

• Islam is an Arabic word that means submission. The Arabic root of Islam is 'salem' that means 'be in peace'. In other words, Islam, in its universal sense, is the religion of submission to God, the Creator, and by submission to God, the only one God, you achieve peace between yourself and the whole universe that are part of. This explains that Islam is the religion and call of all God prophets since start of mankind. However,
  • Islam per God revelation of Torah to prophet Moses is called Judaism,
  • Islam per God revelation of the Bible to prophet Jesus is called Christianity, and
  • Islam per God revelation of the Quran to prophet Muhammad is called the very name Islam.
• The Islam religion holy book Quran, Muslims holy book, is the only holy book that remains without single letter alteration. The only holy book that reflects God real words with the same God revelation language that is still live language. Quran is the only holy book that is memorized by heart by millions of people from east to west. In addition, Quran is the last holy book. Quran is the only holy book with scientific miracles that was possible to be proved only with current advances in science and technology to add proofs to Quran authenticity as God revelation.
• Prophet Muhammad, who is the God messenger to call for Islam per God revelation of Quran to him, is the last God prophet. Accordingly, he is the only prophet who is really adopted by all people, Muslims and non Muslims, as the true mankind model of good morals in life, dealing with people, marriage, ruling, etc.. He is the only prophet with all his sayings and practices are fully recorded for follow up and adoption.
• Islam is the only religion that believes in all God prophets and in all God holy books.
• Islam is the religion of pure truth and logistics and calls all people to the scientific approach of thinking.
• Islam is the only religion that provides rules for all your life aspects and in balance between normal life requirements and the second eternal good life requirements and balance between ritual worship and work for humankind benefit.

What makes this religion so unique is that is very peaceful and that they only follow what they believe is right.

----------------------

Every religion is in some way unique. And the followers of every religion believe that they only follow what they believe is right. The uniqueness of Islam is more than this.

It is true that the decision of the Islamic government of Sudan, to allow the southern Christian and animist people of the nation the free choice whether to form a new country, is evidence that Muslims can be a peaceful people, and this is a credit to the followers of Islam. But against this there are always examples to the contrary, such as the wanton shooting of a Pakistani governor merely for speaking out for a woman accused of blasphemy. There are not enough peaceful Muslims in the world, just as there are not enough peaceful Christians in the world.

Islam can certainly claim to be unique because it is said that the angel Gabriel taught the Koran to the Prophet Muhammad. Unfortunately for this premise, Christianity will say that there is no real evidence that this happened.

Muslims will say that Muhammad was the last prophet of God. But Baha'i, Sikhism and Mormonism all offer more recent prophets of God.

Perhaps it is enough just to say that all religions are unique, each in its own way, all religions offer their followers spiritual fulfilment, and all religions should be treated with due respect and admiration.

The five pillars of Islam help in unifying all Muslims all over the world.

The first pillar (testimony of the oneness of God and that Muhammad is his messenger and prophet) unifies the Muslims on the worship of one and only one God.

The second pillar (praying or Salat) unifies Muslims especially during the ritual praying in a gathering in Mosque (daily, on Fridays, on the feasts, in Ramadan during praying in a gathering for what is called Taraweah)

The third pillar (Alms giving or Zakat) unifies Muslims when they feel that the rich is feeling with the poor and gives him from his money or property.

The fourth pillar (fasting Ramadan) unifies Muslims when they all are fasting for the same period.

The fifth pillar (pilgrimage or hajj) is the strongest demonstration of Muslim and Islam unity when Muslims from all over the world come together in the annual world biggest gathering in response to God call for Hajj.

Answer 1

The main difference between the three Abrahamic religions is that most Christians believe in the Holy Trinity, that God is composed of three parts (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), but in Islam and Judaism there is only one god (similar to the 'Father') with no partner, son or equal. Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet, but not God nor the son of God. In Judaism, Jesus is considered a false messiah and Jews do not believe in him. Some Christians do not believe in the Holy Trinity.

All three stemmed from Abraham:

• Judaism was called for by Moses with the God revelation of the Torah
• Christianity was called for by Jesus with the God revelation of the Bible
• Islam was called for by Muhammad with the God revelation of Qur'an

The Bible's Old Testament originates from the Torah, and is also considered holy by Muslims (apart from some details), and there are similar stories in all three but a large amount is different in each. There are many versions of the Bible, but only one version of the Qur'an (unless translations are counted). Muslims believe the Torah and Bible have been corrupted by time and translation, so the Qur'an is distributed in its original Arabic God revelation language; an old Arabic language. (like how Old English differs to modern English)

Commentary on Answer 1

1. In Islam and Judaism they believe in God as the one and only God. He is the same God considered by most Christians as manifested in three (Trinity) as father, son, and spirit.

2. The religions are developed by God and not Moses, Jesus, or Muhammad.

3. The Qur'an is revealed in Arabic language that is still the live language (not old language). We speak the same language currently at no change in neither words nor grammar.

Answer 2

Christianity is also monotheistic, though Christians distinguish there to be Three Persons in God: the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. The Son, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, is Jesus Christ, Whose claims to divinity is believed and celebrated in the mainstream Christian religions.

Islam is monotheistic, but again differs from the above in the identity of God. Muslims call God, Allah and believe that Jesus Christ was one of the great prophets of Allah but certainly he was neither God nor divine.

Jesus Christ is therefore the proverbial stumbling-block between these three religions.

Answer 3

From the point of view of Judaism, if Jesus Christ is not God, then those of the Jewish Faith are quite right to regard Christianity as a heretical offshoot from Judaism, and Islam in its turn would then become a heresy cobbled together from both Judaism and Christianity.

From the perspective of the Christian, Judaism rejected its own Messiah and is no longer within the covenant promised by God, for that covenant was fulfilled in Christ. Christianity is therefore the Old covenant fulfilled in the New and followers of Judaism are being stubborn and blind by following a dead religion. Christianity views Islam as a Judeo-Christian heresy.

For those worshipers of Islam, both Judaism and Christianity are corrupted religions who unwittingly hold fragments of the truth, but which yet disseminate lies against Allah and all justice. Islam was Allah's gift of truth to man after so much corruption and to Allah all peoples must submit through Islam.

Commentary on Answer 3

1. There are no worshipers of Islam. All Islamic religion followers are worshipers to God as the one and only one God with no partner.

2. Muslims never considered Christianity or Judaism are corrupted religions. They just consider that some alterations were introduced into the written texts of the Bible and Torah. In principle Muslims consider Jews and Christians peoples of the Book as they are holders of the holy books the Bible and the Torah that Muslims believe in as God holy books.

3. Islam is an authentic religion from Allah and not extractions from Christianity and/or Judaism. Otherwise how was God's holy book, the Quran correct for the alterations introduced into the Torah and Bible.

Answer 4

Judaism, Christianity and Islam are the world's three major monotheistic religions, and fittingly, they all share many similar characteristics. But they have many key differences as well. Judaism is the oldest of the three, with its beginnings coming about 3,500 years ago.

The other two came from Judaism later on. The holy book of the Jewish people is the Tanach, which contains the Torah (also known as the Five Books of Moses), Nevi'im (Prophets), and K'tuvim (Writings). Moses was the prophet whom Jews consider to be the greatest of all. The largest Jewish population in the world is located in Israel, with large concentrations across the United States, especially in New York.

Christianity came about approximately 2,000 years ago, and holds to the belief that Jesus is the son of God and will come to Earth again someday. The main sects of Christianity are Catholicism and Protestantism, which both have many sects within themselves. The Holy Bible contains both the Old Testament (which was based on the Tanach) and the New Testament.

Islam was founded by the prophet Muhammad about 600 years after the birth of Christianity. The highest concentration of Muslims is in the Middle East and in Southwest Asia. The book of Islam is the Koran. Muslim's claim to believe in the Torah, but when it comes to the Holy Bible, they consider it corrupted.

Commentary on Answer 4

1. The oldest religion is Islam in its general sense as full submission to God (the Creator). In this understanding, it was the call of all prophets since Adam, ..., Noah, ..., Abraham, Isaac, Ismael, ..., Moses,..., Jesus, and Muhammad (Peace be upon them).

2. Under this umbrella of Islam, the religion per Torah revelation to Moses is called Judaism; per revelation of the Bible to Jesus is called Christianity; and per Quran revelation to Muhammad is called the same name Islam as it was the last religion from God.

3. Islam per God's Quran revelation to Muhammad is founded by God (or Allah) not by Muhammad. Muhammad, as all other prophets, was merely God's Messenger to convey God message per Quran, to mankind.

4. Muslims are spread allover the world. The highest majority are in Asia; in particular in south east Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India,...) and Middle East (Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Algeria,...).

Answer 5

Judaism practices many of the customs and honors the holy days that the Christian church has forgotten, such as Sukkot, Pesach (Passover), Hannukah, etc.

Christianity has the fundamental belief that Jesus was sent by God to save us from our sins and that he is our savior.

Islam welcomes the message of Jesus, but doesn't accept that he is divine, or should be called the Son of God.

Answer 6

Christianity = We have a loving God who forgives who has mercy. Jesus was sent to the earth to die on the cross for our sins.We have the only God who has risen from the dead.

Judaism = believes that man is born innocent and good and that no one can atone for the mistakes of others or for mistakes not yet made. Judaism also believes that human sacrifice is an abomination.

Answer 7

Judaism :

There is only One, Unique God who does not have any offspring and does not come to Earth in the form of a man, and who gave the Jews a Law to follow. God gave the Law only for the Jews. Only Isaac was included in the Covenant with Abraham.

Christianity: (what Paul taught, as opposed to what Jesus taught)

God came to Earth in the form of a man. The Laws of Judaism became unnecessary and were replaced by belief in Jesus as being the "Son of God" and, at the same time, God Himself. Religion became universal - for all the people. Jesus eventually returns as "God" or "Son of God".

Islam:

There is only One, Unique God who does not have any offspring and does not come to earth in the form of a man. God gave the Jews a Law to follow but they did not do what He commanded them to do. So God sent Jesus as the Messiah (but not as a "son" of God). Jesus said that God would now take His Law that He gave to the Children of Israel, and give it to a "new nation". In other words, he foretold the coming of the Last prophet - Muhammad. Jesus returns as the Messiah - and declares that: 1) he never told people to worship him as a god, 2) he insisted that people follow the Law of Moses as the way to salvation, and, 3) he foretold the coming of Muhammad as the bringer of the Kingdom of God on Earth. Jesus then unites all the people under the Final Law of God.

Answer 8

All three religions stem from the same Prophet Abraham. Jews accept all the Prophets of the Torah but stop at Jesus. Christians accept all the Prophets of the Torah and accept Jesus but stop at Muhammad. Muslims accept all prophets of all religions and consider Muhammad to be the last Prophet of God. Islam teaches that Prophets can still come, but they must be subordinate and within the line of Islam. However, Islam is a universal religion for all people of all times. The Qur'an is a perfect book that has no doubt and no contradictions. It has been kept in the original form when it was revealed 1400 years ago.

Answer 9

Islam is different than Christianity and Judaism as follows:

• Muslims believe that God is One while most Christians believe that God is three persons in one and most Jews believe that Aliazer is son of God.
• Muslims believe that Muhammad is God's prophet and messenger while Christians and Jews don't believe Muhammad is God's prophet or messenger.
• Muslims believe that Jesus (peace be upon him) is God's prophet and messenger while most Christians believe that Jesus is God and the Savior of humanity while Jews don;t believe that Jesus is prophet or son of God, or God.
• Muslims believe that Jesus was lifted bodily to the heavens by God's miracle and was not crucified while Christians believe that Jesus was crucified. Jews don't believe in Jesus at all.
• Muslims believe that Adam and Eve were forgiven by God (the Creator) while many Christians believe in the concept of original sin and its transfer to all generations. Jews have same belief as Christians in this regards.
• Muslims believe that every one is responsible of his deeds in front of God in the Last Day of Judgment while Christians believe that the Christ will save them from their sins. Jews believe that they are forgiven by God from any sins they do.
• Muslims believe in the Torah, Bible and the Qur'an as God's holy books (in addition to other holy scriptures revealed to Abraham, David, and other prophets) while Christians believe in the Torah and the Bible only and don't believe in the Qur'an. Jews don't believe in Quran or the Bible
• Muslims weekly religious holiday is Friday and is allowed to work on Fridays, per their choice, while Christians have Sunday as their weekly religious holiday and they are not recommended to work on Sundays. Jews have Saturday as their weekly religious holiday and they are not recommended to work on Saturdays.
• Muslims don't believe that God took rest on the 7th day after universe creation in 6 days (as God creation of anything is by just 'be' then 'it is' and God never feel tired) while Christians and Jews believe that on the 7th day, after universe creation in 6 days, God took rest.

It is to be highlighted that the three religions are different only in some faith issues that are regarding the relationship between yourself and your God. This is a matter to be resolved by God on the Day of Judgment. However, both religions are quite similar in all issues regarding relationships among all people. In reality, there are no differences between the three religions regarding the way that people of different religions should treat each other and deal with each other. This, logically and spiritually, calls all people to live together in love, peace, and harmony regardless their different religions or beliefs.

The followers of the three religions worship same God (Allah in Arabic). The followers of the three religions believe in prophets Noah, Abraham, and Moses.

Another View:

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).

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.
