No, they are not. "Judaism", as it were dates back to Abraham, as does Christianity in a way. Both are based on a promise to Abraham made by God that he would be the father of many nations because of his willingness to offer Isaac out of obedience. The natural physical line runs through his son Isaac, not ishmael, and so on down to the present jewish community. The spiritual aspect of redemption for all mankind through the sacrifice of a son goes on into the Christian/Messianic community. Christianity has its roots in Judaism.
Islam is different. The islamic god actually is named for the old Beduoin sungod, which came out of Egypt, probably with Hagar. Ishmael is the father of the Arab, but was not given the covenant promise of Abraham. Actually, he was disowned because disrespected Sarah, Abraham's true wife, and, in the old traditions, the first and true wife determined the legitimacy of the heirs. Mohammed was trying to do what Akenaten in Egypt was doing earlier, establish monotheism in a polytheistic culture. His doctrine is not based on a Messiah promised as the othe two religions. Furthermore, when he cleaned out the Kaaba, he left the "reverencing" of the black rock. When you 'reverence' something, you worship it. THerefore, Islam has no legitimate claim to worshipping the God of Abraham and is a totally separate religion derived on its own.

I'm not sure about Islam,but it is in Judaism and Christianity.The Jews and the Christians use the same 39 books called the Torah by the jews and The Old Testament by the Christians,word for word.Then we have 27 other books called The New Testament.4 of which tell the life mission of Jesus,one tells the history of the beginning of the Christians ,from about 33 A.D.to 68 A.D(about the time of Paul's death)the next 14 are letters(epistles)written by Paul (Rabbi Saul of Tarsus)then one by James the 1/2 brother of Jesus who didn't believe in Him until after he saw him resurrected,he then ran the church at Jerusalem.Then two by Peter(Simon Peter the apostle)three by John(also the apostle)one by Jude another 1/2 brother of the Lord Jesus,and finally when John was exiled to the island of Patmos,around 90 yrs old he wrote'The Revelation of Jesus Christ to John'
Islam founded in 600A.D. takes both religions,takes what it want,changes what it wants and gets rid of the rest.So,Jehovah(YHWH) is God the Father to the Jews and Christians ,and El Allah,the moon god is the god of Islam,I understand the prophets family were priests of El Allah,I'm not sure(with all respect).

Not quite, although a lot of the same characters - Moses, Abraham, Noah, etc. - are in all 3 religions.
But, for example, the Muslims don't believe in "Original Sin" and neither does the Jewish faith.

Differences in the names and concepts. Adam is the first "prohet". They do NOT use the Hebrew scrolls. that Chritianity bastardized for our Old Testament.

They are quite similar (with small interpretation differences and customs within each religion) with the exception of Sarah and her son Yes, they are very similar morally and scriptural.

Supposedly, yes, but there are some deferences between the scriptures in the telling

yes, it is when Abraham sleeps with Hagar and they have their son, Ishmael, and he is the son that started the Islamic religion.
