Similarities Between Islam And Judaism by Realismailakabir: 8:39am On Oct 05, 2020
They worship the same God

Islam and Judaism are resolutely monotheistic faiths. Allah is the Arabic name for God. The Arabic name Allah has linguistic connotations that are not shared with the English term God. For instance, the word Allah cannot be made plural like the word God. Nevertheless, Allah is the same Creator, Sustainer, and Provider that Jews and Muslims worship.

Jesus

Because these two faiths are strictly monotheistic in nature, they both do not consider Jesus to be divine. They both consider it blasphemous to attribute a literal son to God. The idea that God has a son is inconsistent with the uncompromising monotheistic message found both in the Qur’ān and Torah (old testament) However, unlike Jews, Muslims believe that Jesus is a great Prophet of God who delivered the message of Oneness to the Children of Israel and that his mother Mary was one of the greatest of all women.

Prophets

Muslims and Jews share beliefs in certain Prophets. They both believe that God sent Prophets to mankind to deliver the message of monotheism. Jews believe that Moses is the greatest of all Prophets who was sent to mankind. Muslims also believe in Moses, who is in fact the Prophet most mentioned in the Qur’ān. Muslims and Jews also believe in Abraham, Noah, David, Solomon, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. Because Muslims believe in all Prophets and Messengers, they also believe in the scripture they delivered. Therefore, Muslims believe that Moses was given a book called the Torah. However, they believe this book was not preserved in its original form. For Muslims the Prophet Muhammad, God’s final Messenger to mankind who delivered the final book, the Qur’ān.

Jerusalem

Historically, many of these Prophets resided in the city of Jerusalem. Both Islam and Judaism consider Jerusalem to be a holy city. Prophet Solomon established the first Temple in Jerusalem which made it the religious center for Judaism. Jerusalem is Islam’s third holiest city after Mecca and Medina. Prophet Muhammad was taken on a miraculous journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and then ascended to the heavens.

Circumcision

Islamic law and Jewish law share many things in common. In the Bible, Abraham was commanded to undergo circumcision. This practice has been established among Abraham’s children. The Torah instructs that newborns be circumcised on the eighth day after birth. The command for circumcision is not in the Qur’ān, but the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him required it for his male followers.

Dietary Restrictions

Jews only eat kosher and Muslims only eat halal. There are many similarities between kosher and halal, and in some cases, kosher is considered halal for Muslims. Some kinds of foods, such as pork, are prohibited in both Islam and Judaism. Other kinds of foods must be prepared in a certain way for them to be permissible for consumption. The animal must be slaughtered properly, mentioning the name of God, and for Jews, the person must be Jewish. However, Muslims are allowed to consume an animal if it is slaughtered by a Muslim, Jew, or Christian.

Female Head Covering

Both religions encourage modesty and require that women cover their hair. This is not meant to detract from women’s beauty, but to channel it to her marriage where it truly belongs. Many married Jewish women wear a scarf to cover their hair. Islam instructs that women wear a headscarf (hijab) after puberty. Along with the head covering, both religions encourage women to dress modestly. This includes wearing long and loose-fitting clothing. Although they both cover in very similar ways.

In addition there many similarities in Mosaic law and Sharia, like dealing with criminality, apostate, etc. There are many reference to Jews in the Quran: check. Q.2.40, 2.83, 2.88, 3.23, 34.49, 3.67, 4.46, 5.12, 5.18 etc.


O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I have bestowed upon you and fulfill My covenant [upon you] that I will fulfill your covenant [from Me], and be afraid of [only] Me.

Your sense ought to tell you there was nothing like circumcision when Adam was created. As the first man and human being on earth, whom did you expect to circumcise him? Slave of allah, next time apply sense when talking okay Or Muhammad was the FIRST MAN on earth that has NO record of circumcision?

Abeg who circumcised Abraham? Abraham started circumcision in the Bible. So Everyone before Abraham were uncircumcised according to the Bible!

This includes Noah and Adam right? So what's the point of looking for who circumcised who?

It's no more Adam it's now Abraham, so because I told you Adam was the first human being on earth you now change it to who circumcised Abraham... I am here to address your problem as usual

The answer to your question is here:

Genesis 17:24-26


24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,

25 and his son Ishmael was thirteen.

26 They were both circumcised on the same day




Hope you won't move from Abraham to Noah again grin

So your Muhammad has NO record of circumcision, what a shame

Even ISHMAEL your father in Islam was circumcised why is Muhammad own case diff grin

The answer to your question is here.. God directed Abraham in Genesis 17:1-27 to circumcised himself and all his household including ANIMALS which he did. If Abraham could be circumcised, why is Muhammad own case different? You havn't answer my question yet. Is Muhammad above the law? Or Muhammad was a late BAST@RD being on earth?


Genesis 17:23

And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.

My boy, you don't need to give yourself stress. Firstly did you know the meaning of CIRCUMCISION? I will beseech thee to consult your dictionary..

Secondly, I asked you to show where it is written that a whole messenger of allah was circumcised rather you're jumping from pole to pole looking for an escaping route grin

You asked me who circumcised Adam, I answered and told you Adam was the first man on earth and so on, you read my response and reason with it but to tell me how your messenger was circumcised you moved your attention to Abraham in which I also answered you how he was circumcised with Biblical evidence. But to answer my own question is difficult for you and your god allah.

Shey Muhammad jumped from heaven or he was born as a b@stard child? You should know the type of person you're following completely, you should be able to defend him anywhere on any question(s) asked about him. May God save you from this damaged control allah and Muhammad has put you

Merry go round! Adam was the first man yet he had several kids! He can also do it himself like Abraham did!

Did you still have problem with what I told you about Adam? Noah was born circumcised, I repeat Noah was a righteous man before God, he was born circumcised by God

If Ishmael your father in Islam could be circumcised, why is the one and only messenger of allah, Late Muhammad was not circumcised? Circumcision started from Abraham as God commanded and practise till today. Why is your messenger Muhammad not circumcised? You'll answer this, No escaping route

Re: Similarities Between Islam And Judaism by Nobody: 8:34am On Oct 18, 2020
@OP, you outlined many similarities between Islam and Judaism without realizing the fact that Muhammad merely copied and modified stories and myths about real people (mostly pagans), which humans had been passing from one generation to another before Judaism and Islam were established.

Many of those prophets in Qur'an were Jews, pagans; some were even blacks.

But the author of the Qur'an (Muhammad) only copied and modified the parts in their stories that would suit his parochial agenda about deceiving and enslaving humanity.

That OP is deceiving himself that "God" in Islam is the same or similar to "God" in Judaism, when Yahweh is the god of Jews and Allah is the god of Muslims.

Allah and Yahweh are distinct entities with unique traits and histories.

The same thing applies to Olohun, who doesn't have anything to do with Islam or Muhammad.

The clear facts are, Muslims worship Arabian moongod called Allah; Christians and Jews worship Israeli/European god called Yahweh or Jehovah, and traditionalists in Yorubaland worship the local god called Olorun.

Religious people love distorting historical facts to suit their parochial agenda and deceit.

A religion that is deficient and false is the one that desperately looks for validation from other true religion.

Today Islam wants to validate itself by force to judiasm but have a problem accepting same God gave Jerusalem to Israel before Mohamed created islam

Mohammed also sought to validate his religion with the Baal of quaresh tribe.(alat,manat)

Can't Islam stand on its own, why is it claiming all the Jews to be it's prophet
