ABRAHAM
Islam
In Islam, Prophet Ibrahim is the friend of God and the father of Prophets (Ismail or Ishmael in English and Ishaq or
Isaac and the grandfather of Prophet Yaqub or Jacob). He is also one of the ancestors of the Prophet Muhammad
(peace and blessings be upon him). Anyone who rejects Prophet Ibrahim is not a true believer in Islam. Prophet
Ibrahim plays a key role in this regard. In terms of beliefs, a Muslim must believe in all of the Prophets. This
includes not just Prophet Ibrahim, but his sons Ismail, Ishaq, his grandson Yaqub and of course his descendant
Prophet Muhammad. Abraham is called Ibrahim by Muslims. They see him as the father of the Arab people as
well as the Jewish people through his two sons, Isaac and Ishmael (Isma'il in Arabic).
The Muslim story of Ibrahim
Abraham is a very interesting figure because he is depicted in the Qur'an as somebody who, from a very early age,
had problems trying to understand God and trying to discover God; being restless, knowing that perhaps
the Pagan environment which he was in did not have the answers. That, ultimately, God was not the star or the
sun or the wind or the moon - all these forces that he saw - God was in something else.
And so from that perspective, Abraham is considered to be neither a Jewish person, nor a Christian person nor a
Muslim, but somebody who is a hernif - somebody who essentially and intrinsically knows that there is really only
one God. And he is praised for this essential and innate yearning to discover the unity of God.
There have been thousands of prophets and numbers of messengers but there are only four or five that have been
designated a specific title according to Islam: Jesus is one, Moses is one and the Prophet Muhammad is one but
also Abraham, who is known as a friend of God.
Abraham had a specific allocation given to him by God, which is that from his progeny will be all the prophets and
from them - for Muslims - comes Muhammad. But he does have a relationship with God: first of all he is baffled
as to how he has a son at such a late stage through Hagar and then through Sarah.
The tradition of God testing Abraham's devotion to him by asking him to sacrifice Ishmael is the heart of the
Abrahamic tradition and the Abrahamic stories. Abraham was the first Prophet who was asked for the ultimate
sacrifice: "I want you to sacrifice your own flesh and blood for me". And he passed the test because he was
prepared to do it, in his submission and devotion to God.
What are the stories told about Abraham in the Qur'an?
Many of the stories in the Qur'an that relate to Abraham, Hagar and Ishmael are about their flights from Sarah
and also about Abraham trying to set up another dwelling, another place with Hagar and his son Ishmael.
Much of what Islamic tradition is about - and even some of the rituals such as the Hajj - stem from the pre-Islamic
era and are translated into Islamic rituals through Abraham. Hagar looked for water and ran between two hills,
which is enacted in the Hajj ceremony as a symbolic gesture of what Hagar was doing - looking for water - and
pilgrims do that.
God says to Abraham, "I'd like you to build my house for me..." - that is a Kaaba - "...here on this mound of earth,
in this sacred place and I'd like you to erect the walls and I want you to purify this place." Part of this purification
is what we see today in the Kaaba. The Islamic tradition has restricted this purity ritual to Muslims only. However
the second ambulation that pilgrims do in praise of God is actually a legacy left from pre-Islamic days when pilgrims
also came to the Kaaba - not to worship the one God, but to worship idols.
There are various things that are part of the Abrahamic story, culminating in the ultimate sacrifice which is carried
out on the last day of Hajj. As a symbolic gesture, Muslims re-enact what Abraham was going to do with Ishmael
by sacrificing a lamb or sheep.
JUDAISM
According to A Concise Encyclopedia of Judaism by Dan Cohn-Sherbok (Oneworld Publications 1998), Prophet
Abraham is the father of Jewish people. According to Scripture, he was the son of Terah and the father of Isaac,
who was born to Sarah, and he is also the father of Ishmael, who was born to Hagar. AbrahamThe history of
the Jewish people begins in Bronze Age times in the Middle East when God promised a nomad leader called
Abram that he would be the father of a great people if he did as God told him.Jews regard Abraham (as he was
later called) as the first Patriarch of the Jewish people.Abraham was the first person to teach the idea that there
was only one God; before then, people believed in many gods.Ironically, Abraham's father, Terach, had made
his living selling idols of various gods.

CHRISTIANITY
According to Christian tradition, God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac “to prove that he was ‘worthy of
becoming the father of a mighty nation, which would be as numerous as the stars in the sky or the grains of sand
on the seashore'”

MOSES
CHRISTIANITY’’

Moses is mentioned more often in the New Testament than any other Old Testament figure. For Christians, Moses
is often a symbol of God's law, as reinforced and expounded on in the teachings of Jesus. New Testament
writers[ often compared Jesus' words and deeds with Moses' to explain Jesus' mission. In Acts 7:39–43, 51–53, for
example, the rejection of Moses by the Jews who worshiped the golden calf is likened to the rejection of Jesus by
the Jews that continued in traditional Judaism.
Moses also figures in several of Jesus' messages. When he met the Pharisee Nicodemus at night in the third
chapter of the Gospel of John, he compared Moses' lifting up of the bronze serpent in the wilderness, which any
Israelite could look at and be healed, to his own lifting up (by his death and resurrection) for the people to look at
and be healed. In the sixth chapter, Jesus responded to the people's claim that Moses provided them manna in
the wilderness by saying that it was not Moses, but God, who provided. Calling himself the "bread of life", Jesus
stated that He was provided to feed God's people
Moses, along with Elijah, is presented as meeting with Jesus in all three Gospel accounts of the Transfiguration of
Jesus in Matthew 17, Mark 9, and Luke 9, respectively. Later Christians[ found numerous other parallels between
the life of Moses and Jesus to the extent that Jesus was likened[ to a "second Moses." For instance, Jesus' escape
from the slaughter by Herod in Bethlehem is compared[ to Moses' escape from Pharaoh's designs to kill Hebrew
infants. Such parallels, unlike those mentioned above, are not pointed out in Scripture. See the article
on typology.[
His relevance to modern Christianity has not diminished. Moses is considered to be a saint by several churches;
and is commemorated as a prophet in the respective Calendars of Saints of the Eastern Orthodox Church,
the Roman Catholic Church, and the Lutheran churches on September 4. In Eastern Orthodox liturgics for
September 4, Moses is commemorated as the "Holy Prophet and God-seer Moses, on Mount Nebo". The
Orthodox Church also commemorates him on the Sunday of the Forefathers, two Sundays before the Nativity.
The Armenian Apostolic Church commemorates him as one of the Holy Forefathers in their Calendar of Saints on
July 30

Moses is mentioned more in the Quran than any other individual and his life is narrated and recounted more than
that of any other Islamic prophet. In general, Moses is described in ways which parallel the Islamic
prophet Muhammad, and "his character exhibits some of the main themes of Islamic theology," including the
"moral injunction that we are to submit ourselves to God."[
Moses is defined in the Quran as both prophet (nabi) and messenger (rasul), the latter term indicating that he was
one of those prophets who brought a scripture and law to his people.[
Huston Smith describes an account in the Quran of meetings in heaven between Moses and Muhammad, which
Huston states were "one of the crucial events in Muhammad's life," and resulted in Muslims observing 5 daily
prayers.
Moses is mentioned 502 times in the Quran; passages mentioning Moses include 2.49–61, 7.103–160, 10.75–
93, 17.101–104, 20.9–97, 26.10–66, 27.7–14, 28.3–46, 40.23–30, 43.46–55, 44.17–31, and 79.15–25. and many
others. Most of the key events in Moses' life which are narrated in the Bible are to be found dispersed through
the different Surahs of the Quran, with a story about meeting Khidr which is not found in the Bible.
In the Moses story related by the Quran, Jochebed is commanded by God to place Moses in an ark and cast him
on the waters of the Nile, thus abandoning him completely to God's protection. The Pharaoh's wife Asiya, not his
daughter, found Moses floating in the waters of the Nile. She convinced the Pharaoh to keep him as their son
because they were not blessed with any children.
The Quran's account has emphasized Moses' mission to invite the Pharaoh to accept God's divine messageas well
as give salvation to the Israelites. According to the Quran, Moses encourages the Israelites to enter Canaan, but
they are unwilling to fight the Canaanites, fearing certain defeat. Moses responds by pleading to Allah that he and
his brother Aaron be separated from the rebellious Israelites. After which the Israelites are made to wander for
40 years.
According to Islamic tradition, Moses is buried at Maqam El-Nabi Musa, Jericho.
Judaism
Main articles: Moses in Hellenistic literature and Moses in Rabbinic Literature
There is a wealth of stories and additional information about Moses in the Jewish apocrypha and in the genre
of rabbinical exegesis known as Midrash, as well as in the primary works of the Jewish oral law, the Mishnah and
3

the Talmud. Moses is also given a number of bynames in Jewish tradition. The Midrash identifies Moses as one of
seven biblical personalities who were called by various names. Moses' other names were: Jekuthiel (by his
mother), Heber (by his father), Jered (by Miriam), Avi Zanoah (by Aaron), Avi Gedor (by Kohath), Avi Soco (by his
wet-nurse), Shemaiah ben Nethanel (by people of Israel). Moses is also attributed the names Toviah (as a first
name), and Levi (as a family name) (Vayikra Rabbah 1:3), Heman, Mechoqeiq (lawgiver) and Ehl Gav Ish (Numbers
12:3).
Jewish historians who lived at Alexandria, such as Eupolemus, attributed to Moses the feat of having taught
the Phoenicians their alphabet,[93] similar to legends of Thoth. Artapanus of Alexandria explicitly identified Moses
not only with Thoth/Hermes, but also with the Greek figure Musaeus (whom he called "the teacher of Orpheus"),
and ascribed to him the division of Egypt into 36 districts, each with its own liturgy. He named the princess who
adopted Moses as Merris, wife of Pharaoh Chenephres.
Ancient sources mention an Assumption of Moses and a Testimony of Moses. A Latin text was found in Milan in
the 19th century by Antonio Ceriani who called it the Assumption of Moses, even though it does not refer to an
assumption of Moses or contain portions of the Assumption which are cited by ancient authors, and it is
apparently actually the Testimony. The incident which the ancient authors cite is also mentioned in the Epistle of
Jude.
To Orthodox Jews, Moses is called Moshe Rabbenu, `Eved HaShem, Avi haNeviim zya"a: "Our Leader Moshe,
Servant of God, Father of all the Prophets (may his merit shield us, amen)". In the orthodox view, Moses received
not only the Torah, but also the revealed (written and oral) and the hidden (the `hokhmat nistar teachings, which
gave Judaism the Zohar of the Rashbi, the Torah of the Ari haQadosh and all that is discussed in the Heavenly
Yeshiva between the Ramhal and his masters). He is also considered the greatest prophet.
Arising in part from his age, but also because 120 is elsewhere stated as the maximum age for Noah's descendants
(one interpretation of Genesis 6:3), "may you live to 120" has become a common blessing among Jews.

Christian Marian perspectives include a great deal of diversity. While some Christians such
as Catholics and Eastern Orthodox have well established Marian traditions, Protestants at large pay scant
4

attention to Mariological themes. Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Anglican,

and Lutherans venerate the Virgin Mary. This veneration especially takes the form of prayer for intercession with
her Son, Jesus Christ. Additionally it includes composing poems and songs in Mary's honor, painting icons or
carving statues of her, and conferring titles on Mary that reflect her position among the saints.
Catholic
Main articles: Roman Catholic Mariology and Veneration of Mary in Roman Catholicism
In the Catholic Church, Mary is accorded the title "Blessed" (Latin: beata, Greek: μακάρια, translit. makaria) in
recognition of her assumption to Heaven and her capacity to intercede on behalf of those who pray to her. There
is a difference between the usage of the term "blessed" as pertaining to Mary and its usage as pertaining as
pertaining to a beatified person. "Blessed" as a Marian title refers to her exalted state as being the greatest among
the saints; for a person who has been declared beatified, on the other hand, "blessed" simply indicates that they
may be venerated despite not being officially canonized. Catholic teachings make clear that Mary is not considered
divine and prayers to her are not answered by her, but rather by God through her intercession.[71] The four Catholic
dogmas regarding Mary are: her status as Theotokos, or Mother of God; her perpetual virginity; her Immaculate
Conception; and her bodily Assumption into heaven.
The Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus has a more central role in Roman Catholic teachings and beliefs than
in any other major Christian group. Not only do Roman Catholics have more theological doctrines and teachings
that relate to Mary, but they have more festivals, prayers, devotional, and venerative practices than any other
group. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "The Church's devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to
Christian worship.
For centuries, Catholics have performed acts of consecration and entrustment to Mary at personal, societal and
regional levels. These acts may be directed to the Virgin herself, to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and to
the Immaculata. In Catholic teachings, consecration to Mary does not diminish or substitute the love of God, but
enhances it, for all consecration is ultimately made to God.
Following the growth of Marian devotions in the 16th century, Catholic saints wrote books such as Glories of
Mary and True Devotion to Mary that emphasized Marian veneration and taught that "the path to Jesus is through
Mary".Marian devotions are at times linked to Christocentric devotions (e.g. the Alliance of the Hearts of Jesus
and Mary)

Islamic
Main article: Mary in Islam
The Virgin Mary holds a singularly exalted place in Islam and she is considered by the Qur'an to have been the
greatest woman in the history of humankind. The Islamic scripture recounts the Divine Promise given to Mary as
being: "Mary! God has chosen thee, and purified thee; He hath chosen thee above all the women of creation"
(3:42).
Moreover, Mary is the only woman named in the Qur'an and she is mentioned or referred to in the scripture a
total of fifty times. Mary holds a singularly distinguished and honored position among women in the Qur'an.
A Sura (chapter) in the Qur'an is titled "Maryam" (Mary), which is the only Sura in the Qur'an named after a
woman, in which the story of Mary (Maryam) and Jesus (Isa) is recounted according to the view of Jesus in Islam.
Mary is often referred to by Muslims by the honorific title "sayedetina" (our lady). She is mentioned in
the Qur'an as the daughter of Imran
She is the only woman directly named in the Qur'an; declared (uniquely along with Jesus) to be a Sign of God to
humanity; as one who "guarded her chastity";an obedient one; chosen of her mother and dedicated to Allah whilst
still in the womb; uniquely (amongst women) Accepted into service by God; cared for by (one of the prophets as
per Islam) Zakariya (Zacharias); that in her childhood she resided in the Temple and uniquely had access to Al-
Mihrab (understood to be the Holy of Holies), and was provided with heavenly "provisions" by God.
Mary is also called a Chosen One; a Purified One; a Truthful one; her child conceived through "a Word from
God";and "exalted above all women of The Worlds/Universes (the material and heavenly worlds)".
The Qur'an relates detailed narrative accounts of Maryam (Mary) in two places, Qur'an 3:35–47 and 19:16–34.
These state beliefs in both the Immaculate Conception of Mary and the Virgin birth of Jesus. The account given in
Sura 19 is nearly identical with that in the Gospel according to Luke, and both of these (Luke, Sura 19) begin with
an account of the visitation of an angel upon Zakariya (Zecharias) and Good News of the birth of Yahya (John),
followed by the account of the annunciation. It mentions how Mary was informed by an angel that she would
become the mother of Jesus through the actions of God alone.
In the Islamic tradition, Mary and Jesus were the only children who could not be touched by Satan at the moment
of their birth, for God imposed a veil between them and Satan. According to author Shabbir Akhtar, the Islamic
perspective on Mary's Immaculate Conception is compatible with the Catholic doctrine of the same topic. "O
People of the Book! Do not go beyond the bounds in your religion, and do not say anything of Allah but the truth.
5

The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was but a Messenger of God, and a Word of His (Power) which He conveyed to
Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah (as the One, Unique God), and His Messengers (including Jesus, as
Messenger); and do not say: (Allah is one of) a trinity. Give up (this assertion) – (it is) for your own good (to do so).
Allah is but One Allah ; All-Glorified He is in that He is absolutely above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is
in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allah suffices as the One to be relied on, to Whom affairs should
be referred." Quran 4/171
The Qur'an says that Jesus was the result of a virgin birth. The most detailed account of the annunciation and birth
of Jesus is provided in Suras 3 and 19 of the Qur'an, where it is written that God sent an angel to announce that
she could shortly expect to bear a son, despite being a virgin.

JESUS
CHRISTIANITY Jesus is the central figure of Christianity. Although Christian views of Jesus vary, it is possible to
summarize the key beliefs shared among major denominations, as stated in
their catechetical or confessional texts. Christian views of Jesus are derived from various sources, including the
canonical gospels and New Testament letters such as the Pauline epistles and the Johannine writings. These
documents outline the key beliefs held by Christians about Jesus, including his divinity, humanity, and earthly life,
and that he is the Christ and the Son of God. Despite their many shared beliefs, not all Christian denominations
agree on all doctrines, and both major and minor differences on teachings and beliefs have persisted throughout
Christianity for centuries.

The New Testament states that the resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of the Christian faith (1 Corinthians
15:12–20). Christians believe that through his sacrificial death and resurrection, humans can be reconciled with
God and are thereby offered salvation and the promise of eternal life. Recalling the words of John the Baptist on
the day after Jesus' baptism, these doctrines sometimes refer to Jesus as the Lamb of God, who was crucified to
fulfill his role as the servant of God. Jesus is thus seen as the new and last Adam, whose obedience contrasts
with Adam's disobedience. Christians view Jesus as a role model, whose God-focused life believers are encouraged
to imitate.
Most Christians believe that Jesus was both human and the Son of God. While there has been theological
debate over his nature. Some early Christians viewed Jesus as subordinate to the Father, and others considered
him an aspect of the Father rather than a separate person. The Church resolved the issues in ancient councils,
which established the Holy Trinity, with Jesus both fully human and fully God. Trinitarian Christians generally
believe that Jesus is the Logos, God's incarnation and God the Son, both fully divine and fully human. However,
the doctrine of the Trinity is not universally accepted among Christians. With the Protestant Reformation,
Christians such as Michael Servetus and the Socinians started questioning the ancient creeds that had established
Jesus' two natures. Nontrinitarian Christian groups include The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
Unitarians and Jehovah's Witnesses.
Christians revere not only Jesus himself, but also his name. Devotions to the Holy Name of Jesus go back to the
earliest days of Christianity. These devotions and feasts exist in both Eastern and Western Christianity.

JUDAISM
Jewish
Main article: Judaism's view of Jesus
See also: Jesus in the Talmud
Judaism rejects the idea of Jesus being God, or a mediator to God, or part of a Trinity. It holds that Jesus is not
the Messiah, arguing that he neither fulfilled the Messianic prophecies in the Tanakh nor embodied the personal
qualifications of the Messiah. In particular, Jesus did not fulfill prophesies to build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-
28), gather Jews back to Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6), bring world peace (Isaiah 2:4), and unite humanity under the God
of Israel (Zechariah 14:9). And, furthermore, by Jewish tradition, death on a cross (or "tree") signifies rejection
by God (Deuteronomy 21:23).
Furthermore, according to Jewish tradition, there were no prophets after Malachi, who delivered his prophesies
in the fifth century BC. Although currently disputed, David Flusser offers the Pharisee, Joshua B. Perahyah, as a
possible rabbi of Jesus, but likens his social outlook to that of the Essenes and his prophetic stance to that of John
the Baptist. Even though Jesus was considered a rabbi by his disciples and others, he forbade the usage of that
title among his followers.
Judaic criticism of Jesus is long-standing. The Talmud, written and compiled from the third to the fifth century AD,
includes stories that since medieval times have been considered to be defamatory accounts of Jesus. In one such
story, Yeshu HaNozri ("Jesus the Christian"), a lewd apostate, is executed by the Jewish high court for spreading
idolatry and practicing magic. The majority of contemporary historians consider that this material provides no
information on the historical Jesus. The Mishneh Torah, a late 12th-century work of Jewish law written by Moses
6

Maimonides, states that Jesus is a "stumbling block" who makes "the majority of the world to err and serve a god
other than the Lord".
Islamic
Main article: Jesus in Islam
A major figure in Islam, Jesus (commonly transliterated as ʾĪsā) is considered to be a messenger of God (Allah) and
the Messiah (al-Masih) who was sent to guide the Children of Israel (Bani Isra'il) with a new scripture, the Gospel
(referred to in Islam as Injil). Muslims regard the gospels of the New Testament as inauthentic, and believe that
Jesus' original message was lost or altered and that Muhammad came later to restore it. Belief in Jesus (and all
other messengers of God) is a requirement for being a Muslim. The Quran mentions Jesus by name 25 times—
more often than Muhammad—and emphasizes that Jesus was a mortal human who, like all other prophets, had
been divinely chosen to spread God's message. While the Qur'an acknowledges the Virgin birth of Jesus, He is
considered to be neither the incarnation nor the son of God. Islamic texts emphasize a strict notion
of monotheism (tawhid) and forbid the association of partners with God, which would be idolatry. Like
all prophets in Islam, Jesus is considered a Muslim.
The Quran describes the annunciation to Mary (Maryam) by an angel that she is to give birth to Jesus while
remaining a virgin. It calls the virgin birth a miracle that occurred by the will of God. The Quran (21:91 and 66:12)
states that God breathed his spirit into Mary while she was chaste. Jesus is called the "Spirit of God" because he
was born through the action of the Spirit, but that belief does not imply his pre-existence.
To aid in his ministry to the Jewish people, Jesus was given the ability to perform miracles, by permission of God
rather than by his own power. Through his ministry, Jesus is seen as a precursor to Muhammad. According to the
Quran, Jesus was not crucified but was merely made to appear that way to unbelievers by Allah, who physically
raised Jesus into the heavens. To Muslims, it is the ascension rather than the crucifixion that constitutes a major
event in the life of Jesus. Most Muslims believe that Jesus will return to earth at the end of time and defeat
the Antichrist (ad-Dajjal) by killing him in Lud.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has several distinct teachings about Jesus. Ahmadis believe that he was a
mortal man who survived his crucifixion and died a natural death at the age of 120 in Kashmir, India and is buried
at Roza Bal
