[Free] Islam, Christianity, Judaism: Similarities and Differences

Have you ever wondered why Islam, Christianity, and Judaism share so many prophets, stories, moral teachings, and ideas — yet differ on some of the biggest theological questions?

This beginner-friendly course explains these similarities and differences through the Islamic perspective using simple, clear English.

The central idea of the course is:

One God. One fundamental religion. Many prophets. Different Sharia. One continuing message.

We begin by exploring what the word Islam actually means and why Muslims believe submission to God did not begin with Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.

You will then follow the prophetic story from Prophet Adam, peace and blessings be upon him, through Prophet Noah, Prophet Abraham, Prophet Moses, Prophet Jesus, and finally Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.

Throughout the course, you will learn the important difference between the fundamental religion of submission to God and Sharia — the detailed practical laws that could differ between prophets and communities.

We will explore:

• Tawhid and the Islamic understanding of the absolute oneness of God
• Why prophets could receive different laws while teaching the same fundamental message
• Prayer, fasting, charity, repentance, and moral life
• The Tawrah, Zabur, Injil, Bible, and Quran
• The Islamic understanding of Prophet Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him
• The major difference between Tawhid and the mainstream Christian doctrine of the Trinity
• Why religious beliefs and interpretations developed differently over time
• Why Muslims believe the Quran is the final revelation

This course does not assume that you already know Islamic terminology or comparative religion.

Important concepts are explained step by step in accessible English, making the course suitable for beginners and non-native English speakers.

The course presents the Islamic perspective clearly while describing mainstream Christian beliefs respectfully and accurately where comparisons are necessary.

Whether you are Muslim, Christian, Jewish, from another background, or simply curious about religion, this course will give you a structured introduction to one of the most important theological conversations in history.

You do not need to agree with every claim to understand what Islam teaches.

Understanding comes first.
