    COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

    ORIGINS:

    - The three great monotheistic religion trace their roots from patriarch
    Abraham.

    - Judaism believes that God’s covenant with Abraham has consecrated his
    tribe as God’s chosen people, and all subsequent covenants are an
    affirmation of God’s special relationship with Jewish people.

    - Christians believed that Abraham is an important figure in the history of


    salvation, as Jesus Christ is believed to have descended from his family.

    - Islam considers Abraham as one of the earliest prophets of Allah. Muslims


    trace their faith and lineage to Ishmael, Abraham’s son.

    MORALITY:

    - Jews believe that following the Torah, particularly the ten Commandments,
    and other religious guidelines will ensure an upright and moral life.

    - Christianity patterns its moral tenets on the Bible and also recognizes the
    Ten Commandments as a primary basis for morality and faith. It also
    recognizes the examples of Jesus Christ and his teachings as guidelines in
    ethical behavior.

    - Islam recognizes the commandments in the Qu’ran, as well as the Hadith,


    as bases for moral behavior. The Five Pillars are considered the primary
    obligations that must be upheld by all faithful Muslims.

    PURPOSE:

    - Jewish traditions consider man’s likeness to God in the spiritual sense – that
    humanity is imbued with understanding, discernment, and free will.

    - All three religions agree that man’s purpose is to worship and serve God,
    and abide by His commandments. Man is also considered to be part of
    God’s great plan or design, and by following the commandments, man is
    able to participate fully in God’s plan.

    DESTINY:

    - All three faiths believe that humanity is destined to follow and abide by the
    commandments of God, and will share in the rewards of the afterlife.
    Salvation is merited by the grace of God and through personal commitment
    and good works. Some Christian sects, however, believe that faith alone
    merits salvation.
