The Big Three

Islam is a continuation and renewal of Judaism and Christianity, and it encourages humankind to unite in finding the common ground.

Muslims express love and respect for all the prophets mentioned in the Jewish and Christian scriptures, who are also mentioned in the Quran. Muslims believe in Moses and Jesus, however they do not believe that Jesus was the son of God. Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet born in a miracle birth to Mary. The Quran mentions Mary more often than the Bible, and mentions the story of Moses more than any other prophet, demonstrating the high-regard that Judeo-Christian figures have in Islam.

Prophet Muhammad advised the early Muslims to treat everyone with respect, whatever their faith or background.

He established a seventh century model for pluralism known as the Charter of Medina, an agreement with the Jews and pagans of the Arabian city of Medina which ensured security, protection of rights and respect for different beliefs.

It referred to the Jews, pagans, and Muslim inhabitants of Medina as belonging to ‘one community’. When a group of Christians later arrived in the city, Prophet Muhammad arranged for them to stay in the mosque where they held their own religious services.

Even on his deathbed, the Prophet encouraged protection for the Abrahamic faiths, stating: “I place in your trust the People of the Book, the Christians and Jews”.
