The Prophet, Muhammad, Islam

Judaism and Christianity are key religions in the history of our world, and are still around today. Both of these religions are monotheistic, believing in only YHWH, the God of Abraham. However, if we look deeper, there are many more similarities and differences in these two religions. Some things that are comparable are their political figures, their holy works, and social beliefs.

Although Christianity and Judaism are very different religions, they are similar in their inspiration of sacred texts. While Christianity has the Bible, and Judaism has

All three of these religions started off small and a long time ago. Judaism started a long time before the birth of Jesus Christ. Christianity started after the birth of Christ but was not really known about or taught until after Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. Islam was started later on but still a long time ago. It is thought to be started in 622 A.D. by a man known as Muhammad.

As you can see even though Judaism and Christianity have the closest relationship there are many very important differences. Their different views on Jesus and God, Heaven and hell, and the notion of sin are what separate these two great but different

Since the dawn of man, millions of people around the world coming from all kinds of diverse cultures and different backgrounds have been born into a family where some sort of religion is practiced. Fortunately, in the modern day here in the United States, we are free to worship and practice any religion we please. Two of the main religions in the United States and North America in general is Judaism and Christianity. It goes without saying that these two religions do have a lot in common, which is mostly due to the fact that Judaism was the forefather of Christianity. The main base is the same for both religions, the Old Testament.

Between the religions of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, there are many similarities and differences that are dealt within each of them. Throughout these religions, we can compare and contrast different aspects of each religion such as some of the basic facts of their histories and some of the religious beliefs each of them have in common and or make them different from each other. In the country known as Palestine, the religions known as Christianity and Judaism were founded each by different men. Jesus was the man who began the creation of Christianity and a man named Moses was the founder who established the religion of Judaism. In the country of Saudi Arabia the

Out of all the religions in the world Christianity and Judaism in my opinion have the most similar rites and rituals. They also share many beliefs and flow many of the same rules. Even though some of the rituals might seem like they are completely different, when you look deeply and find the true meaning, you will see that most of the time they share the same message. But even with all of these similarities its the differences that make them unique and these differences are what splits them apart. The three main similarities in both Christianity and Judaism is the first step into adult hood, the last step into adult hood and the Shabbat and the Sabbath.

Although Christianity, Islam and Judaism are all religions that grew from the same central idea of one divine god named Abraham in the general time zone of 2500 BC, and in the holy city of Jerusalem, they are all very different from each other. Christianity, Islam and Judaism are all similar religions in some ways but are also very different from each other in other ways.

Both religions believe in one god, or are referenced as monotheistic. The only other religion like these two is the Islamic religion of the Muslims who worship their one god “Allah.” Judaism or the Jewish peoples god is named “YHWH” is known as the Tetragrammaton. The Christian’s god name is “Jesus.” On a daily basis Jewish are supposed to pray 3 times a day morning, afternoon, and evening. Christians pray whenever they want to.

Judaism originated a very long time ago, it is a part of the Bronze Age Polytheistic Ancient Semitic religions. The Jewish calendar goes back more than 5000 years, most scholars date the beginning of the religion of the Israelites to the known founder, Abraham, whose life is generally dated around 2000 to 1800 B.C.E. Abraham came to believe that the universe was the works of a single creator, and taught this to other believers. Therefore, Judaism is the first recorded religion to advocate monotheism, meaning there is only one God. Both Christianity and Islam found some of their roots in Judaism, about 2,000 years after Abraham, Jesus was born into Judaism. Then after Jesus, Muhammad could trace his ancestry back to Abraham. Judaism has three essential parts the written Torah, the recognition of Israel, which are the descendants of Abraham, as uniquely holy people chosen by God, and also it is a requirement that Israel lives in accordance with God's laws as it’s said in the Torah.

Every religion has their own goals and their own beliefs, however there are many similarities between some religions. Two religions that are similar are Judaism and Islam. Judaism was founded in Israel by Abraham around 2000 B.C when God chose Abraham to be the “Father” of the Hebrew people. Islam was founded in the Middle East by Muhammed around 600 A.D when an angel on Mount Hira revealed the existence of one god to him. Judaism and Islam have a lot in common.

Whereas, Islam was conceived in the mecca and medina era from the start. Islam was coined by Muhammad who was alive to 570 AD to 632 AD. Muhammad originated in Mecca, Saudi Arabia while the origins of Jesus Christ originated from Jerusalem, both being prophets. The Islamic manuscripts are the Quran with Allah the creator, but in contrast, The Christian manuscript is the bible and God is the universal creator.

By the time Islam emerged as the third religion of Abraham, a large Jewish population as well as a large Christian population was deeply rooted in Islam, thanks to the Roman Empire there. Roman rule in this area had recently collapsed and the nation no longer observed their state religion, therefore the land was split between Judaism, Christianity and a form of paganism. There had been wars between the Jews and Christians for years but it was quickly shadowed by the birth of Mohammed, the founder of the Islamic faith. He traveled extensively when he was young and had a lot of contact with both Jews and Christians. The fact that he did have this contact appears to have had a profound effect on Mohammed because the Islamic faith is very close in many ways to both Christianity and

A person whose character has played a major role in history and continues to influence people worldwide is the Prophet Muhammad, the last prophet in the Islamic faith. There are many misconceptions about Muhammad, but if you were to ask any Muslim living now or at his time for one fact about him, they would tell you that he was a man of character. Even before given revelation from God through Angel Gabriel, Muhammad was known through Mecca as the Truthful and the Trustworthy. He was born an orphan and was brought up by family relatives. Muhammad’s character shows his endurance through the toughest of times. As Islam spread, more and more people converted simply because they were mesmerized by Muhammad’s character. He didn’t just preach the religion, he actually lived it. Three major characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad were that he was kind, loving, and patient.

“Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets. Indeed, Allah knows about all things.” (Quran 33:40)
