In your view, what are the similarities between the three Abrahamic Faiths?

You may talk about differences as well: (what are the differences of these three faiths?)

Thank you for that , islander.


On differences:

1. Judaism is strict observance of the Law, namely the Talmudic Laws. Judaism believes that it is in the works, and in devout prayer that one can receive salvation from YWEH. Judaism upholds sacrifice and repentance to YWEH by striving after righteousness and sacrifice.
"Rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy, and repenteth him of the evil" (Joel 2:13).


2. In Christianity, Salvation is in Jesus Christ. There is no salvation in no other. Christ is considered the Son of God (The Word Made Flesh) and that his communion with the Father and the Holy Spirit makes up the core Christian tenent of Trinitarian Unity. Or "Divine Triumvirate".
Christ came down from Heaven, was crucified for our sins and was raised in Glory. So that those who believe in Him will see Life and not be subject to the Law.


3. In Islam, the Prophet Muhammad is considered the last prophet, they consider Jesus Christ as a prophet and not the son of God. Muslims are precarious in that they, too, observe some aspects of the Laws proposed in Judaism. Manner of actions and how one behaves is mandated by the Shariah, the life of the Prophet. Salvation in Islam is in no man, but in works, prayer. Salvation in Islam is the personal recognition and worship of the "Allah".

In Judaism, it is forbidden to eat the flesh of swine/pigs for they are considered dirty and lowest of all animals. Islam also forbids the eating of pork and such. The way these two faiths prepare meat is also meticulous. Strict Conservative Jews (Orthodox) will eat only Kosher meats, while conservative and practicing muslims will prefer to eat Halal.

Christians , in general, do not practice this restriction. Only because of one statement that Jesus Christ of Nazareth told us in Mark Chapter 7 verses 18-23.

And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, [it] cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. or from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man

The only one thing that I find interesting about Islam is that when one reads the Q'uran, there is a deep-rooted hostility between the muslims and the Al-Qitab (people of the book; particularly the Jews and the Christians).

There is a verse in the Q'uran where even nature tells a muslim to kill the Jew. It is rather interesting and one that was subject to my debate and discussion when I took Islam 2 during college. My instructor, Prof Suleiman, did not have an answer that satisfied my query.

The verse:

The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him.
Hadith Sahih Muslim [41:6985]

Ito po'y sa palagay ko lang.

1.  ANG PAGTULI MAOY USA SA SIMILARITY. (LUCAS 2:21)


2.  Lumang Tipan: (Moises) - Judaism.

Si Moises ay Nagsabi:
DEUTERONOMY:  6:5   Pakinggan mo O Israel, Ang Panginoong Dyos ay Isang Panginoon, "At iyong mahalin ang iyong Panginoon ng buong puso, ng buong kaluluwa at buong lakas.


Bagong Tipan:  (Hesus)  - Christianity
Si Hesus ay nagbigay ng aral din at nagwikang:
MARKUS 12:29   "Pakinggan mo O Israel, Ang Panginoon nating Dyos ay Isang Panginoon. " At iyong mahalin ang iyong Panginonon Dyos ng buong puso, buong kaluluwa, ng buong ISIP, at buong lakas.

Quran:  (Mohammad)  - Islam
Quran :  39: 11-12  " Ipahayag: ako'y napagutosang maglingkod sa Dyos ng tapat na Panalaangin. At ako'y napagutosang maging isa sa mga sumusuko ng buong sarili sa Dyos.

Sya ang Dyos (Allah), ang tanging isang Dyos (Allah), walang hanggan, ang kaganapan.
Walang Anak o di pinanganak At sa kanya ay walang Makakatulad.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ang Pagdarasal Ni Hesus:
MATEO 26:39   ...... at siya'y nagpatipa at nanalangin"

Kung si Hesus ay Dyos na nagkakatawang tao, kanino sya nagdarasal? At dahil nga si Hesus ay nagsasagawa ng dasal, ito ay nangangahulugan na sya ay may KINIKILALANG Dyos na kanyang sinasamba.

MATEO 27:46    "at nang malapit na nag oras na ika-siyam ay sumigaw si Hesus ng Malakas na tinig, na sinabi: ELI, ELI, lama sabachthani ? sa makatuwid , DYOS KO, DYOS KO, bakit mo ako pinabayaan?

"KARON, bahala namo nga mosabot niini."

all believes that there's one supreme being

Yes.

All three claim Abraham {Ibrahim, for the muslims} as their patriarch.

Difference:
1. Jews and Christians believe that Abraham's rightful heir was Isaac (son of Sarah).
2. Muslims believe that Ibrahim's rightful heir was Ismael , not Isaac.

--

Something that is worthy of consideration is that in the Q'uran, it does not specifically name the child that was to be sacrificed by Ibrahim before the Almighty One. Muslims believe that it was Ismail, however, the Q'uran does not say the name of the child. The Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) of the Holy Bible explicitly names the child; It was Isaac, not Ismael.

From the Q'uran:

"So when they had both submitted their wills (to God), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice), we called out to him, ‘O Ibrahim! Thou hast already fulfilled thy vision’ - thus indeed do we reward those who do right. For this was obviously a trial - And we ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice ..."
(Surah 37:99-106).


However, in the Old Testament Bible (Talmud), the child was Isaac.


From The Bible

"When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. Then Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of The Lord called to him from heaven, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!"
"Here I am," Abraham replied.
"Do not lay a hand on the boy," he said. "Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son."

(Genesis 22: 9-12)
