How is Islam related to Judaism and Christianity

Posted on 08/08/2016 I by: AstroSaathi

Judaism, Christianity and Islam are Abrahamic religions and they all trace their roots to Prophet Abraham. Muslims believe their faith has always existed in the forms of Judaism and Christianity and they worship the same deity as the other two.

Islam has sheer respect for Christianity and Judaism. They believe God communicated the final and most authentic form of the religion to the Prophet Muhammad while he was meditating in a cave near Mecca and wrote the messages in the Quran.

Muslims believe God contacted Muhammad to correct errors in previous renditions of the faith.

Allah means `God` in Arabic and therefore they see no difference between the deity they worship and the one in the Jewish and Christian traditions.

They only reject the notion of the three-part God in Christianity. They believe God exists in only one form and He is the one who created the universe and human life.

Muslims see Prophet Abraham as the patriarch of the Jewish and Arabs. They revere Moses as a prophet like the Jewish and Christian beliefs who liberated the Israelites by leading them out of Egypt.

Jesus is the second most revered prophet in Islam who announced the arrival of the most revered prophet in the faith, Muhammad.
