Islam, and Judaism and Christianity - shortcut
Judaism had a huge impact on Islam. For example, in the Koran, Moses is mentioned more than 100 times, and Jerusalem was the original direction of Muslim prayers. Initially, the Muslim attitude towards Judaism was very positive, but the rejection of Muhammad as a prophet by the Jews changed the situation and the Jews fell, as it were, from grace. After all, Jews and Christians belong to the "People of the Book" (أهل الكتاب) - they profess the Bible and Tore, which Muslims also believe in, but at the same time believe that the final message of these books has been changed and is not true.

The attitude of Muslims to Christians is indifferent. In Christianity, Jesus is the son of God who dies on the cross for people's sins to save the world, and in Islam he is "only" a prophet. Muslims believe that God does not need any helpers and children - He can handle everything by Himself. Additionally, Muslims claim that someone else died on the cross instead of Jesus.

The relationship of these religions can be seen, for example, in Jerusalem (a place of worship of three religions), in marriages (a Muslim can marry a woman from the religion of the People of the Book, but a Muslim woman can only marry a Muslim - she inherits her father's religion) and in the prophets (Moses, Abraham, Isaac and others) .
