IS IT TRUE THAT ALL THREE CONTAIN THE "OLD TESTAMENT"?

On the basis of all Holly books,the differences between the three big religions are not more than the differences between the sects of any of them.you can find it out on any relevant web-site.
I think it is because all of them originated in the Middle-East and they all derived a lot from the same legends and epics which had been passed on to the people at the time;for instance, the verses about The Flood in three holly books were taken from the Sumer epic Gılgamesh(I am not sure about the spelling).The Creation is almost the same in three books,as well.As for practices,
I don't know much about Christianism,but Islam and Jewish religion have a lot in common,such as circumcision,not eating pork,crustaceans and rabbit(unique to Shiite sect) and many more.
People of three religions believe in the same God,but worship in three different ways.

complicated yet exciting q i'll purpose to respond to so a techniques as i'm waiting to. The Quran consists of an stunning kind of comments taken from the Bible, or a minimum of, taken from the techniques circulating indoors the close to to East at that factor. (yet, NB, a Moslem can no longer have faith this - to a Moslem, the Quran is the transcript of an unique saved in heaven, and can't have any human precursors) The Quran is an unsystematic expounding of an fairly systematic faith. the multiple suras are arranged in descending order of length (apparently, approximately diverse order from that wherein they have been composed). in assessment, the Bible has a commencing up up, center and end. Of the Talmud, enable a Jew answer. i don't be attentive to.

Difficult but interesting q I'll try to answer as far as I can.
The Quran includes a lot of stories taken from the Bible, or at least, taken from the stories circulating in the Near East at that time. (But, NB, a Moslem cannot believe this - to a Moslem, the Quran is the transcript of an original kept in heaven, and can't have any human precursors)
The Quran is an unsystematic expounding of a very systematic religion. The various suras are arranged in descending order of length (curiously, approximately the opposite order from that in which they were composed). In contrast, the Bible has a beginning, middle and end.
Of the Talmud, let a Jew answer. I don't know.

The three Books belong to three major religions that believe in a One Divine Creator - (There are some differences in how He reveals Himself to his followers and it is a major issue in the debate between Christians and Muslims) - Yet, all three books advocate peace, love and mercy. They all encourage ethics, morals, and cooperative social life based on understanding and banning discrimination. Even if someone belongs to another religion its advised to treat him as an equal as long as he is not leading any sort of aggression.
The similarities include banning the major human misconducts: Murder, Adultery, Theft...etc.
They all talk about the history of man kind and prophets' lives yet stories have slight differences in details and time sequence.
All three books are rich in language and have much of preaching, instructions, and a demonstration of punishments and rewards for behavior. They all promise heaven for followers and hell for disbelievers. (Description of Heaven and Hell varies)..
Guess thats pretty much all in brief. Further discussions are most welcomed.

If I ask that how similar are we both?
what will be your answer?
Holy Quran, bible and other 2 Books were came from God as a Guideline for specific time. All books came in series, no doubt they have link but not similar. In Holy Quran all the details regarding past, present and future mentioned. but as by reading the science book my own, i can't be a doctor. it's also applied to all books u can't understand it without a Guider.
All holy books are linked together as a Chain but not similar.
Thanks

I would bet that they all relate to each other. As I guess that they all belong to the same family.
