In Christianity, Jesus Christ is the founder, in Judaism, Moses is their prophet and in Islam, Mohammed is their prophet. The three main religions believed to have come from God are; Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
One of the similarities is that these religions are monotheistic in nature which means they believe in the oneness of God. Even though, all three religions believe in the oneness of God, “The affirmation of the oneness of God by Christians is sometimes misunderstood, because some Christians believe that the one God is triune (the Holy Trinity). However, this is not a denial of monotheism but an affirmation of the complexity of the Divine Being”. (Los Angeles Chinese Learning Center). All three religions believe in one God.

Each of the three religions believe Abraham is a member of their religion. In the Qur’an Allah says: Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to Allah (in Islam)." (Qur’an 2:136). Also, Allah says “For he was one of our believing Servants”. (Qur’an 37:111). In the bible, "It is you who are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, “and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed”. (Acts 3:25). And “he oath which He swore to Abraham our father” (Luk 1: 73).

    Our lives all begin the same. We are created through the combined DNA of our mother and father and then we are born into the human existence. Some of us will be raised in an environment of love, support and open-mindedness while others will be born into a world of judgment, hate and narrow-mindedness. If we are lucky we will be born into an environment that provides us with an opportunity to grow, receive quality education and to parents who instill knowledge of the world and cultures around us so we can experience life in a way that creates perceptions that can be used to encourage and perpetuate this existence to future generations. In America, it is a toss up as to which life you may be born into and how that life will shape your future…

    The three Abrahamic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam ¬¬¬– all have one thing in common, the nature of monotheism. Judaism innovated the idea of one God about 3000 years ago, with the Israelites. Though it was restricted to the people of Israel, this was the first time a monotheistic religion came into play. Worshipping the same God of Israel, Christians were the second monotheistic believers. The teachings of Jesus Christ of Nazareth were next to become revolutionary.…

    Islam is monotheistic its god is named Allah (the all-powerful being who created the universe and everything in it.). Unlike Christianity, Islam makes no claim to whom the founder of the religion is. During the years 570-632 B.C.E lived a man named Muhammad. Just like Abraham, Moses, and other figures of the Old Testament Muhammad was a prophet. According the the Qur’an because earlier prophets had corrupted his revelations, Allah sent his complete revelation through Muhammad (The Essential World History Pg 170-171).…

    Such as they each have just one God to worship in their own way, their own worship days, and their own prayer times. However, one of the biggest misconceptions that westerners have about the Islamic faith is that Christians want to believe that Muslims hold Muhammad as revered as they do Jesus. They believe Muslims worship Muhammad in the same manner as they worship Jesus, while I have found through the lectures and the selected readings of the Qur’an that Muhammad was only a messenger of Allah. He was only a prophet, one that was chosen to bring Allah’s word to the people. Muhammad was not to be celebrated as someone equal to Allah to dispute these western beliefs.…

    Throughout history there has been the much debated topic of whether or not Christians and Muslims worship the same God. This controversy still continues today, and both sides present very informative arguments. It is important to make clear that if one does argue that Christians and Muslims worship the same God, it does not mean they believe that both religions are the same. Many people on the side that Christians and Muslims do not worship the same God will argue that although both religions worship one God, the God they worship different vastly. While those on the other side of the argument will dispute that both their Gods are in fact the same due to their loving nature and depictions within their sacred texts.…
