Answer 1

This is a really broad question. There are hundreds of similarities and differences.
Some stuff that's the same:
-many of the stories found in the Old Testament/Torah are found in Islam
-the archangel Gabriel is around
-they all three have a seperateness from the world. They shun a lot of the worldy ideas and desires.
-They believe in serving a purpose higher than themselves
-They are monotheists
-Do not be tempted to say "it's the same guy". The God in Islam (Allah) may share a part in some of the stories, but his nature, personality, essence, and relationship to humans are totally different. If they came to you as people, they would be totally different to know and be around.
-Abraham is the "father" of all of them
-much of the morality is the same. Not all, but some. But then again, most religions have the same basic morality with a few minor differences. Like most reject murder and theft for example.

Answer 2

There are more similarities between Judaism and Islam, then between Judaism and Christianity.

Comparing Judaism and Islam: of course, the founder of both was Abraham. His son Ishmael, his firstborn, is thought to be the father of the Arab nation. His second son, by his wife Sarah, (Ishael was son of Hagar, servant girl) was Isaac.

Jews eat kosher meat, Muslims eat halal meat. In both cases, the animals are killed in a way to minimise pain. Kosher is more strict; so religious Jews won't eat halal, but Muslims can and do eat kosher.

Neither Jews nor Muslims eat pork.

Religious Jews pray three times a day; Muslims, five times a day.

Religious Jewish women cover their heads just as Muslim women do also.

There are other similarities.

To contrast Judaism and Christianity:

Jews do not believe Jesus was the messiah; he was just a young Jewish man, a radical, one among many.

Christians do believe that Jesus was the messiah.

This is one of the main differences.

Christians also believe that Jesus was partly G-d made flesh.

Jews do not believe this can ever be: G-d never takes corporeal form.

Judaism was the first monotheistic faith, then Christianity, and then Islam. The first Christians were Jews.

Answer 3

Islam and Christianity, and Judaism are very relevant to each other. these 3 religions are the top 3 in the world.

the three of them branch from one founder father, Abraham, so they all have the same basic roots. They all have there own traditions and beliefs though.

they all worship the same God.
- just that each religion sees god differently with different characteristics, but we all worship the same God.

Christians believe that Jesus Christ is God, that he resurrected from the dead (and is therefore alive today) and was born of a virgin (indicating his sinless nature). Both Judaism and Islam reject this belief. personally, i don't believe this because God is all powerful, and i don't see how he can ever die. He is the one and only immortal and all powerful Creator of the universe, and i just don't understand how Christan's can ever believe God as powerful as he is can 'die'. its just not true.


Judaism came first
Christianity came second
Islam third

All three are "Abrahamic" religions

All three are monotheistic (the belife in one God)

Adam, Noah, and Moses are common to all three religions

Answer 4

Judaism was the initial Abrahamic religion.
Christianity is a corruption of Judaism.
Islam is a corruption of Christianity.
There are now in excess of 38,000 Christian sects.
There is obviously a lot of inconsistency here.

If religion was a used car dealer, would you buy a car?

Answer 5

There is no comparison. Jesus is the Savior of the world and heaven is gained only through accepting His sacrifice on the cross.

Judaism was the precursor to Christianity and there are lots of prophetic verses in the old testament which speak of Christ. These 2 are the closest but Islam is an off shoot of a rebellious sect of Jews who did not follow the laws of God

Answer 6

Islam-Abraham is one of Gods diciples and wanted to help god spread the message of good the followers of Abraham are called muslims, muslims worship gods

Judaism-Jews have strict rules but not as strict as Christianity Jews cannot eat pork

Christianity-This one deals with the ten commandments that all christians follow

All of these religions started in South West Asia

Answer 8

OK this is super simplistic answer but we all, Jews, Christians and Muslims come from Adam and Eve- All three religions are Abrahamic faiths.
The Jews distorted God's word so he sent Jesus to rectify things. Then man twisted God's message again and left things out and changed things and misinterpreted to the people so God came to mohammad and dictated very clearly word for word what the true message was to be so it could never be changed.
The crazies you hear about who kill in the name of Allah sometimes get what is called fatwah ( an adendum to God's word, written by so called "clerics" who are also nuts) giving them permission to commit atrocities. Which seems to me to be the same as trying to distort God's message to suit your needs once again....

Answer 9

True Christians believe that Jesus Christ is God, that he resurrected from the dead (and is therefore alive today) and was born of a virgin (indicating his sinless nature). Both Judaism and Islam reject this belief.

Answer 10

Islam teaches that one has to work toward their salvation, which is an impossibility.

Christianity provides a Savior

Judaism has yet to recognize the Savior.
