This religion believed originally that when people died they went to a dark place under the earth called Sheol. Later, Jews began to believe that they might share some sort of eternal life with God after death.

Muhammad as Arabs and believers of Islam are considered descendants of Ishmael (Bowker, 2008). These religions share common origins and beliefs. The religion and belief in Christianity began as a sect of Judaism, and also shares the recognition of Jesus Christ as a prophet with individuals who believe in Islam (Bowker, 2008).
