Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Other similarities Islam and Judaism both consider the Christian doctrine of the trinity and the belief of Jesus being God as explicitly against the tenets of monotheism. Idolatry and the worship of graven images is likewise forbidden in both religions. Both have official colors (Blue in Judaism and Green in Islam).
Detailed explanation-3: -Specifically, we focus on the world’s three major monotheistic religions: Judaism, Islam and Christianity, whose adherents, who mostly live in developing countries, collectively constitute more than 55% of the world population.
Detailed explanation-4: -They both believe a powerful God who created the world and everything in it. The almighty God for Christian’s is just called God, but for Muslim’s he is called Allah. Different names but the same God. They also share the same ritual, called praying.
Detailed explanation-5: -In contrast, the fundamental tenet of Islam was monotheism-the belief in one God alone. What began as a religious movement soon took on a political dimension and Islam spread quickly throughout the Middle and Near East.
