From an Islamic perspective, the ten commandments were given to Moses by an angel, and not divinely inspired or written by any other man.
Does this idea find any parallels in Judaism and Christianity?

The Ten Commandments, or Decalogue, are a list of religious and moral imperatives which, according to Biblical tradition, were written by God and given to Moses on Mount Sinai in the form of two stone tablets. They feature prominently in Judaism and Christianity. The phrase "Ten Commandments" generally refers to the very similar passages in Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21, but is used by some to refer to the so-called "Ritual Decalogue" from Exodus 34

Ideas and perspectives are not the same thing as Biblical facts.
The 10 commandments were given to Moses by God and written with the finger of God.
Exodus 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

In Christianity Moses was given the 10 commandments directly from God.

Law vs Grace are compared as Lie vs Truth
The law (and lie) was given by Moses,
but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Furthermore, salvation is through Jesus->Christ.
It's all "allegory" and "mystery" as defined therein.
As for ten commandments, written in "stone",
let him without sin cast the first "stone". Hello!
It's not about muslim, judaism, or christianity.
It's all about Law vs Grace being allegorized.
The end of the God shew is already written.
So think from the end that's notably already written;
for it's the end that God declared from the beginning.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

The Christian Bible says that God himself wrote the ten commandments on tablets of stone with his own finger, if I remember the story correctly.

Islam came hundreds of years later than Judism.
They just copied.
