Comparison Study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam

Religion

Abrahamic Faith consists of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. These religions


have something in common such as the belief of Adam is the first man created
and the
ancestor of all human beings, Abraham as a prophet, and the Torat as a
revelation of God. Nevertheless there are also some significance differences
among them.

Judaism is a tribal religion that can only confessed by a Jew tribe. This religion
could not be spread to Non Jew. That is why the number of its follower is only a
few. Around 14 million people in the world. Meanwhile the Christianity and
Islam are spreading to
all people in the world and confessed by billions of people.

About God

Judaism and Islam regard there is only one God. The Jews call the God as
Yahweh which is third singular person means “He who is.” Muslims call God as
Allah
which is singular form and genderless from ilah (God). In the Quran, chapter Al
Ikhlas stated the unity of God:

Say: He is Allah, the One!


Allah, the eternally Besought of all!
He begetteth not nor was begotten.
And there is none comparable unto Him.

Actually in the Bible the Unity of God also stated in the Ten Commandments of
God in Exodus 20:20:1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the
LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the
house of bondage.3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. [Exodus 20:1-3]

Though in Judaism and Islam the Monotheism of God is absolute including of


God’s essence, in Christianity there is a doctrine named Trinity that says God
exists
as 3 persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who are united in one substance or
being. The trinity consists of 2 words: Three and Unity. Three is One and One is
three.

This concept is contradicted to Al Quran in Chapter Al Ikhlas that says God has
no Father or Son. The Bible says:

“The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore,
knoweth that I lie not.”[2 Corinthian 11:31]
“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
mercies, and the God of all comfort” [2 Corinthian 1:3]

The Bible verses above clearly said that God is the Father of Lord Jesus Christ.
On the other hand, in Islam strictly stated the Oneness of God, that God is one,
God has no Father or Son as follows:

“And say: Praise be to Allah, Who hath not taken unto Himself a son, and Who
hath no partner in the Sovereignty,nor hath He any protecting friend through
dependence. And magnify Him with all magnificence.” [Al Israa’:111]

Allah has no Son or Partner:

“Allah hath not chosen any son, nor is there any God along with Him; else
would each God have assuredly championed that which he created, and some of
them
would assuredly have overcome others. Glorified be Allah above all that they
allege.” [Al Mu’minuun:91]

About Jesus
The Jews not only deny Jesus as a God or a prophet, but they also tried to kill
Jesus as a pervert.

On the contrary, the Christians regard Jesus as a God:

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of
the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.” [2 Corinthian 13:14]

Islam regards Jesus not as a God, but only a human being that became a
messenger of God:

“And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say my mother for two
gods beside Allah? He saith: Be glorified to which I had no right. If I used
to say it, then Thou my mind, and I know not what is in Thy mind. Lo! Thou,
only Things Hidden.” [Al Maa’idah:116]

According to Islam, Jesus only a prophet to call people to worship only one God
as God order in the Ten Commandments:

“I spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, and your Lord. I
was a witness of them while I dwelt tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over
them. Thou
art” [Al Maa’idah:117]

About Jesus Parent

As the Bible verses above, the Christianity regards Jesus as the Son of God:

“The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God” [Mark 1:1]
“He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God
shall give unto him the throne of his father David” [Luke 1:32]

Nonetheless, on Matthew 1:16-18 said that Jesus’ father is Joseph though Jesus
was born from virgin Mary before Mary married to Joseph or having sex with
him:

“1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus,
who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are
fourteen
generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen
generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen
generations. 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his
mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found
with
child of the Holy Ghost.” [Matthew 1:16-18]

Jesus’ family tree at last follows Joseph’s instead of Mary’s.

On another verse described Jesus as the son of David, the son of Abraham.

The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of


David, the son of Abraham.” [Matthew 1:1]

Jesus the Son of Man:

“For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.” [Matthew 12:8]

According to Islam Jesus is the Son of Mary. Not the Son of God or Joseph:

“The Messiah, son of Mary, was no other than a messenger, whom had passed
away before him. And his mother was a used to eat (earthly) food. See how we
make the revelations they are turned away!” [Al Maa’idah:75]

The Power of God

In the Bible, Genesis 32:25-28 said that Jacob fought with God from night until
dawn. When God could not defeated Jacob, God touch the hollow of Jacob’s
thigh.
God named Jacob as Israel because Jacob has fought God and men and Jacob
prevailed:

“32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the
breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he
touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint,
as he wrestled with him.26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he
said,
I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.28 And he said,
Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou
power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.” [Genesis 32:24-28]

In the Gospel Matthew told how Jesus the God caught, spit, and beaten by men:

“27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus


into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole
band of soldiers.28 And they stripped him, and put on
him a scarlet robe.29 And when they had platted a
crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed
in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him,
and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and
smote him on the head.
31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the
robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and
led him away to crucify him.” [Matthew 27:27-31]

In Islam God is the Most Powerful. He cannot be beaten by any man even if
they are all join together against Him:

“If He will, He can be rid of you and bring (instead of you). That is not a hard
thing for Allah.” [Al Faathir: 16-17]

“Thy Lord is the Absolute, the Lord of Mercy. If He will, He can remove you
and can cause what He will to follow after you, even as He raised you from the
seed
of other folk.” [Al An’aam:133]

From the verses of Holy Book above, can you tell us which the Most Powerful
God is?

The Independence of God

In Gospel Matthew said how Jesus complain and cry: “My


God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama
sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
[Matthew 27:46]

Do you think such statement will come out from the Most Powerful God?

In the Al Quran said that God is not a weak man that needs help:

“And say: Praise be to Allah, Who hath not taken unto Himself a son, and Who
hath no partner in the Sovereignty, nor hath He any protecting friend through
dependence. And magnify Him with all magnificence.” [Al Israa’:111]

Whom should we worship for? The weak and need help God or the Most
Powerful God?

The Knowledge of God

In Gospel Mark 11:12-13 said that Jesus felt hungry and did not know if the Fig
tree is fruitless because it is not its season.

11:12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find
any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for
the time of figs was not yet.” [Mark 11:12-13]

In Islam God is All Knowing:

“And with Him are the keys of the invisible. None but He knoweth them. And
He knoweth what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falleth but He knoweth it.
Not
a grain amid the darkness of the earth, naught of wet or dry but it is noted in a
clear record“ [Al An’aam:59]

Is God Sleep?

In Matthew 8:24 said that Jesus was a sleep:


“And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was
covered with the waves: but he was asleep.” [Matthew 8:24]

According to Islam, God never feel weak such as sleepy or sleep:

Allah! There is no God save Him, the Alive, the


Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him.
Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth.
Who is he that intercedeth with Him save by His leave? He knoweth that which
is
in front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of
His knowledge save what He will. His throne includeth the heavens and the
earth,
and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous.”
[Al Baqarah:255]

Prohibition of Statue

In the Ten Commandments stated in Exodus 20:4-5 God forbid man to make
any statue:

20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any
thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the
water under the earth.
20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD
thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me” [Exodus 20:4-5]
However the Christians now make many statues of Jesus
and Mary and put them on the churches.

In Islam making statues is forbidden. In Hadeeth


Bukharee, Ummu Salamah and Ummu Habibah said there is a beautiful church
in Habsyi (Mary Church) with some beautiful statues. Muhammad said “When
their saint died, the Christians will build church on the grave. Then they make
many statues in the church. They are the worst creatures before God in the day
of
judgement”

The Holy Book

Though the Jews Holy Book is quoted in Bible as the Old Testament, yet there
are some significant differences between them. The Jews Holy Book mostly
written in Hebrew and a few in Aramaic. On the other the Old Testament in
Christianity the oldest one written in Greek with 7 additional books.

The New Testament consists of 27 books (including 4 gospels) and originally


written in Greek between 50-150 AD (Jesus died arount 29 AD).

The gospel consists of 4 different versions originally written in Greek namely:


Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. The Gospels written around 70-100 AD about
40
years after the death of Jesus.

For example, Luke wrote Gospel for a man called Theophilus

1:1 For as much as many have taken in hand to set


forth in order a declaration of those things which are
most surely believed among us,
2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were
eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of
all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent
Theophilus, 4 That thou mightestknow the certainty of those things, wherein
thou hast
been instructed.” [Luke 1:1-4]

Luke sometime only guesses such as Jesus about thirty years of age and use the
word “As was supposed”.

“And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was
supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli” [Luke 3:23]

Though Jesus language is Aramaic, but the New Testament original language at
least the oldest version is all in Greek.
If in Luke 3:23 Jesus’ grand father’s name is Heli,
In Matthew 1:16 Jesus’ grand father is Jacob:

“And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom


was born Jesus, who is called Christ” [Matthew 1:16]

On the other hand, there is only one version of the Al Quran which is
memorized by millions of Muslims and still in its original language: Arab, the
language of
Muhammad.

“Lo! We revealed it (Al Quran) on the Night of Power” [Al Qadr:1]

Al Quran revealed by Allah to Muhammad. And Muhammad passed it on his


followers. Some of the followers memorized Al Quran, some wrote it down on
several media (leaves, bones, leather, etc). Abu Bakar, Muhammad’s friend,
gather the Al Quran to be one. And Usman, another Muhammad’s friend, then
compiled the Quran into one book called Mushaf Usmani with punctuation mark
so the spelling complies with the Arabic language standard.

The Circumcision Obligation for Men

In Judaism and Islam, Circumcision is an obligation for men. It is complied with


Bible:

17:10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy
seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. 11 And ye
shall
circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant
betwixt me and you. 12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised
among you,
every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with
money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must
needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting
covenant.
14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not
circumcised, that soul shall be cutoff from his people; he hath broken my
covenant”
[Genesis 17:10-14]

The uncircumcised man is regarded as unclean in Isaiah 52:1:

“Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O
Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the
uncircumcised and the unclean” [Isaiah 52:1]

However though God said in Genesis 17:13 that circumcision is an everlasting


covenant, the Christians no longer doing the obligation because Paul who
claimed become apostle after Jesus died (when Jesus alive Paul is Jesus enemy)
said that
circumcision is no longer an obligation:

2:25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a
breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 26 Therefore if the
uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision
be counted for circumcision? 27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by
nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost
transgress the law?
2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision,
which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and
circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise
is not of men, but of God.
3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?”
[Romans 2:25-29 – 3:1]

The Prohibition of Eating Swine

In Judaism and Islam, eating swine is strictly forbidden. It is complied with


Leviticus 11:7-8 and Deuteronomy 14:8:

11:7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet he
cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and
their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.” [Leviticus 11:7-8]

In the Al Quran the prohibition stated:

“He hath forbidden you only carrion, and blood, and swine flesh, and that which
hath been immolated to (the name of) any other than Allah. But he who is
driven by necessity, neither craving nor transgressing, it is no sin for him. Lo!
Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” [Al Baqarah:173]

Nevertheless Swine Flesh is a common food among the Christians now.

Original Sin

In the Christianity known the Original Sin Doctrine. All human race are sinners
because of Adam committed sin by eating forbidden fruit. That is why Jesus
sent
down as the Saviour to redeem the original sin. In Exodus 20:5 God said that He
will punish the children, the third and fourth generation for the
iniquity of their fathers:

“Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy
God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;” [Exodus 20:5]

In Islam every one will only responsible for their own


sin. No one can be punished because of other people sin:
“Say: Shall I seek another than Allah for Lord, when
He is Lord of all things? Each soul earneth only on
its own account, nor doth any laden bear another's
load. Then unto your Lord is your return and He will
tell you that wherein ye differed.” [Al An’aam:164]

Slander on Lot

In the Bible, Genesis 19:30-38 said that Lot had drink wine and committed
sexual intercourse with his own daughters (incest) and had children (or
grandchildren?) from them:

19:30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two
daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he
and his two daughters.
31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a
man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:32 Come,
let
us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve
seed of our father.
33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in,
and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she
arose.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger,
Behold, I lay yester night with my father: let us make him drink wine this night
also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose,
and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37 And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the
father of the Moabites unto this day.
38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the
same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.” [Genesis 19:30-38]

In Islam stated that Lot is really a prophet and cleanfrom such a sin such as
drinking liquor or doing incest:

“And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn)” [Ash Shaafaat:133]

In the Quran stated that God has raised Lot’s degree


over people. If common people will not commit adultery
with their own daughter, then a prophet such as Lot
will not such a thing:

“And Ishmael and Elisha and Jonah and Lot. Each one of them did We prefer
above (Our) creatures” [Al An’aam:86]

Slander on David
In Bible, 2 Samuel 11:2-17 said that David (who in Matthew 1:1 described as
Jesus’ father) committed adultery with Uriah’s wife, Bathsheba. After
that,David ordered Joab to send Uriah to the front line of a battle and then
deserted him so Uriah get killed by the enemy:

11:2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed,
and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a
woman
washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
3 And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this
Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he
lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto
her house.” [2 Samuel 11:2-4]

In 2 Samuel 13:11-14 also stated that the son of David, Amnon raped his own
sister, Tamar:

13:11 And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and
said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.
12 And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing
ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.
13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as
one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for
he will not withhold me from thee.
14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she,
forced her, and lay with her.” [2 Samuel 13:11-14]

In the Al Quran, the Slander over David is denied:

“Those of the children of Israel who went astray were cursed by the tongue of
David, and of Jesus, son of Mary. That was because they rebelled and used to
transgress.” [Al Maa-idah:78]

Prohibition of Adultery / Sex Story

In the story of Adultery or prohibition of Adultery, the Bible described it very


detailed:

23:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, there
were two women, the daughters of one mother:3 And they committed
whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were
their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.

4 And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and
they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names;
Samaria is
Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.
5 And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her
lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours, 6 Which were clothed with blue,
captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon
horses.
7 Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all of them that were the
chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she
defiled herself.
8 Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt:for in her youth they lay
with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their
whoredom upon her. 9 Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her
lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
0 These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and
slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had
executed
judgment upon her.
11 And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her
inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her
whoredoms.
12 She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed
most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young
men.
13 Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,
14 And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men portrayed
upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,15 Girded
with
girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them
princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the
land of their nativity:16 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted
upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her
with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was
alienated
from them.
18 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my
mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.
19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her
youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. 20 For she doted
upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is
like the issue of horses.
21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy
teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.” [Ezekiel 23:1-21]

In Song of Solomon 7:1-8 the sexual desire described like this:

7:1 How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy
thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.
2 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an
heap of wheat set about with lilies.
3 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
4 Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by
the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh
toward
Damascus.
5 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the
king is held in the galleries.
6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
7 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
8 I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now
also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose
like apples” [Song of Solomon 7:1-8]

In the Al Quran the prohibition of Adultery described in a gentle way so it do


not arouse sexual desire of its readers. The readers will not have desire to have
sex with his wife or close friend or masturbate after reading the holy book:

“And come not near unto adultery. Lo! it is an abomination and an evil way. “
[Al Israa’:32]

Even the permission of having sex in the month of fasting described in a very
decent way:

“It is made lawful for you to go unto your wives on the night of the fast. They
are raiment for you and ye are raiment for them.” [Al Baqarah:187]

That is the Holy Book of Al Quran!

Retaliation Law

In the Old Testament, Exodus 21:11-22:19 stated the Retaliation Law, namely
death sentence for killer, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth:

“He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.” [Exodus
21:12]

“21:24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,25 Burning for
burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.” [Exodus 21:24-25]

But on the New Testament the Retaliation Law is eliminated and the Christians
no longer follow the rule.

In the Al Quran the Retaliation Law restored:

“O ye who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the


murdered; the freeman for the freeman, and the slave for the slave, and the
female
for the female...” [Al Baqarah:178]

The Retaliation Law applied so people will think twice before they kill others. If
they kill other people then they will be sentenced to death so they could no
longer kill innocent people again in the future By this way the world will be
safer for innocent people (but not for the killers):
“And there is life for you in retaliation, O men of understanding, that ye may
ward off (evil).” [Al Baqarah:179]

Evil or Serpent who Cheated Adam and Eve?

In Genesis 3:1-19 said that Serpent is the most clever among animals and could
talk so it could cheat human: Adam and Eve:

3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the
LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye
shall not eat
of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of
the garden:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God
hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:5 For God doth
know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall
be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the
fruit
thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”
[Genesis 3:1-6]

3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What isthis that thou hast done?
And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou
art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly
shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life” [Genesis 3:13-14]

In the Quran said that the cheater of Adam and Eve is Satan. Not animal like
serpent:

“But Satan caused them to deflect there from and expelled them from the
(happy) state in which they were; and We said: Fall down, one of you a foe
untothe other! There shall be for you on earth ahabitation and provision for a
tune.” [Al Baqarah:36]

If in the Christianity Adam and Eve remain as sinners and passed their sin to
their descendants as original sin, in Islam after they regretted and asked God’s
forgiveness, God forgive them. There is no original sin to pass to their
descendants.

“Then Adam received from his Lord words (of revelation), and He relented
toward him. Lo! He is the Relenting the Merciful.” [Al Baqarah:37]

The Jews regard themselves as the Chosen People while the Christians believe
there is no salvation for those who don’t believe Jesus as a God so they send
many
evangelists/missionaries all over the world to make people become Christians.
Islam said only Islam the religion that God loves:

“Lo! religion with Allah is The Surrender to His will and guidance (Islam).
Those who (formerly) received the Scripture differed only after knowledge
came unto
them, through transgression among themselves. Whoso disbelieves the
revelations of Allah (will find that) Lo! Allah is swift at reckoning.” [Ali
‘Imran:19]

“And whoso seeketh as religion other than the Surrender to Allah (Islam) it will
not be accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the Hereafter.” [Ali
‘Imran:85]

Those are some differences in Judaism, Christianity,


and Islam. Though there are many more differences, yet
Muslims are recommended to have a good social
relationship with them as long they are not hostile or
insulting Muslims or Islam.

Though there is no compulsion in religion, yet Islam


forbids Muslims to mix their religions with others.
Your religion is for you and our religion is for us.
That is the Islamic teaching.
