Abraham and Moses are central prophets in all three religions. Jesus is revered by Christians (who believe he was divine) and by Muslims. Muhammad was the final prophet of God according to Islamic thought. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are the ‘Abrahamic religions’ because Abraham is central in all.

Aside from being monotheistic belief systems that arose in the Middle East, Christianity, Judaism and Islam have a great deal in common. There are notable similarities in notions of sacrifice, good works, hospitality, peace, justice, pilgrimage, an afterlife and loving God with all one’s heart and soul.

The three religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam readily fit the definition of monotheism, which is to worship one god while denying the existence of other gods. But, the relationship of the three religions is closer than that: They claim to worship the same god.

Because Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all recognize Abraham as their first prophet, they are also called the Abrahamic religions.

In this way the Hebrew Bible, the Christian Bible and the Qur’an form one linked textual tradition. Muslims refer to followers of all three religions as ‘People of the Book’. The Hebrew Bible, known to the Jews as Tanakh, comprises three sections: Torah (the Law), Nevi’im (the Prophets) and Ketuvim (Writings).
