Difference between islam and judaism

Difference between Islam and Judaism

The Concept of God in Islam and Judaism

Islam is pure monotheism and no form of polytheism is tolerated in Islam. “There is no true religion except Allah” and call upon Allah, sincere to Him.

Although Judaism emphasizes the Shema (Adonai Elahun Adonai Achud) (Adonai is our God and Adonai is one), some sects of Judaism consider Hazrat Uzair (peace be upon him) to be the son of God, as is proven by the verse “وقالات اليهود عزير بن الله” in Surah At-Tawbah of the Holy Quran.  And according to the research of Hazrat Maulana Hifz-ur-Rahman Siwaharvi, before the existence of Israel in 1948, a section of Jews in Palestine believed Hazrat Uzair (AS) to be the son of God, although the Jews generally deny this, but Allah Almighty knows the secrets of the hearts best.

Books in Islam and in Judaism

The most important book of Islam is the Holy Quran. And after it is the status of Hadith. There has been no distortion of any kind in the Holy Quran and there will never be because Allah Almighty Himself has taken responsibility for it. (Surah Al-Hujurat Verse: 7)

 The most important book in Judaism is the Torah and after it is the status of Talmud. (The Bible has various translations and especially the author of (Bible in the Making) G. M. Gregor points out hundreds of distortions.

Concept of Angels in Islam and in Judaism

 In Islam, angels are considered completely infallible. (Surah At-Tahrim, verses 5-6)

 In Judaism, angels are not considered infallible. (Book of Creation, chapters 1-6).

Sabbath in Judaism

Allah Almighty created the heavens and the earth and did not feel any fatigue in creating or managing them, nor did He need to rest, as is proven by the verse called Ayat al-Kursi of the Holy Quran: “Allah la ilaha illallah illa Hu Hayy al-Qayyum…..la takhihah sunnah walanom walayudha hfdahma”․

 In Judaism Allah Almighty created the heavens and the earth in six days and rested on the seventh day, and this Sabbath (rest) is still the most important festival of the Jews every week.  (Book of Creation: Chapter: 20).

Propagation of Religion in Islam and in Judaism

 Islam is a religion of propagation and its survival is based on it: “Convey to me even if it is a verse” (Hadith)

 Judaism is basically an ethnic religion. It is difficult for anyone other than the Children of Israel to become or become a Jew. There are hardly one or two incidents in history. For example, during the time of the Jewish king Zunnawaz in Yemen, some people became Jews.

Concept of Paradise in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: According to Islam, every person who obeyed and acted upon the command of God according to the Prophet of his time is entitled to Paradise, regardless of his lineage. As mentioned in the Holy Quran, “Whoever does good, male or female, and is a believer, those will enter Paradise…”

Judaism: According to Judaism, only Jews and Christians will enter Paradise, as the Holy Quran presents the claim of Jews and Christians: “And they said, ‘None will enter Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian.’”

The Son of God or His Friend in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: God has no son. Allah Almighty called Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) His Khalil. And the Seal of Prophets, Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him), has called him His Habib, as stated in the verse of the Holy Quran, “And Allah took Abraham as a friend.”  (Surah An-Nisa: Verse: 125)

Judaism: The Jews believe that they are all the sons of God and His beloved, as the Holy Quran states in Surah Al-Ma’idah: “We are the sons of Allah and His beloved. Say, ‘Why will He punish you for your sins? You are but human beings?’” (Surah Al-Ma’idah).

 Name of Religion

Islam: The religion of Islam is called Islam because of obedience to God and surrendering all desires to Him, that is, complete submission in knowledge and practice.

Judaism: Judaism is named after Judah, one of the sons of Prophet Jacob, because his children were more developed and advanced than the children of his other brothers. His descendants still exist today. The descendants of the other brothers have disappeared.

The breadth of religion in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: The religion of Islam is very wide, its followers are found in every corner of the world. The reason for this is that it is a religion of nature, a religion of mercy “And We have not sent you except as a mercy to the worlds.”

Judaism: Judaism is not a religion of nature, but a religion of lineage or tribe. All the people who were born or will continue to be born from the twelve sons of Prophet Jacob (peace be upon him) are the followers and deserving of the Jewish religion.

Prophets and Messengers in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: Islam insists on believing in all the prophets from Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) to the last of the prophets, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). A person who does not believe in even one prophet is considered to be outside of Islam “We do not differentiate between any of the messengers.”  (Al-Baqarah: 285)

Judaism: Judaism insists on believing in all the prophets from Adam (peace be upon him) to the last prophet of the Old Testament, Maliki (peace be upon him), but it is not at all obligatory to believe in Zechariah, John, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon him), rather it is absolutely necessary for a Jew to believe in these great prophets. (Old Testament)

The Best of Prophets in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: According to Islam, the last of the prophets, Muhammad (peace be upon him), is the best of the prophets and the last of the prophets. After him, the prophet hood ends: “Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets” (Surah Al-Ahzab: Verse: 40)

Judaism: According to Judaism, Moses (peace be upon him) is the best of the prophets and Malachi (peace be upon him) is the last of the prophets.  (Moses Maimonides, 13/ The Principles and the Old Testament, Malachi)

The Virtues of the Prophets / The Position of the Prophets

Islam: Islam considers all prophets to be infallible: “Those whom Allah has guided, so follow them.” (Surah Al-An’am: Verse: 91)

Judaism: Judaism has tainted almost every prophet. (The Book of Creation: The stories of Adam, Abraham, Jacob – The Book of Kings: The stories of David, Solomon, etc.)

 David and Solomon (peace be upon them)

Islam: Islam considers these two prophets to be among the prophets. (Surah Al-An’am: Verse: 85)

Judaism: Judaism considers these two prophets only as kings and excludes them from the list of prophets and messengers.

 Moses and the Divine Manifestation in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: According to Islam, when Moses insisted on seeing God Himself, the Divine Manifestation fell on Mount Tur, causing the mountain to crumble and Moses fell down unconscious. This was because God had told Moses that he would never see Me. (Al-A’raf: 43)

Judaism: According to the Torah, God told Moses that he would never see His face, but would only see His back.  (Exodus)

 Sacrifice of Allah – Ishmael or Isaac in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: Islam considers Hazrat Ishmael as the Sacrifice of Allah: “O my son, I see in a dream that I will sacrifice you, so look what you see.” He said, “O my father, do what you command, you will find me among the patient, if Allah wills.” So when he surrendered, he followed him to the forehead and called out to him, “O Abraham, you have proven the vision true…” (Al-Safaat)

The Torah also considers Hazrat Ishmael as the only son for thirteen years. (Al-Takhleeq)

Judaism: Judaism considers Hazrat Isaac as the Sacrifice of Allah. (Genesis, Chapter: 22) Judaism considers Hazrat Isaac as the only son.

Islam: Islam considers both Ishmael and Isaac to be prophets and looks upon both of them with great favor, as is proven by many Surahs and verses of the Holy Quran, and has described both of them as worthy of imitation and guidance. (Al-Saffat – Surah Al-An’am: 100-113)

Judaism: Judaism considers Isaac as the great ancestor of the Children of Israel and gives him great honor and respect, but remembers Hazrat Ishmael in very bad and ugly words, as is proven by the book of creation of the Torah that his hand is against every person and the hand of every person is against him, i.e., as if, God forbid, Hazrat Ishmael has been presented as an example of enmity. (Book of Creation)۔

 The Holy Quran and the Torah

Islam: The first and greatest book of Islam, the Holy Quran, is protected from all kinds of distortion, excess or deficiency, and Allah Almighty Himself has promised to protect it: “Indeed, it is We Who have sent down the Reminder and We will preserve it” (Surah Al-Hijr, verse 9)

Judaism: The most important book of Judaism is the Torah, which has been burned many times, and according to Jewish scholars, there have been countless changes. The original Torah is not available anywhere, only translations are available in different languages, which are almost all different. (G.M. Gregor)

 Women and Prophet hood in Islam and in Judaism

 Women and Prophet hood in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: According to Islam, no woman has been a messenger or prophet. The reason is that the ability and qualities that prophet hood and rasulullah want cannot be born in a woman due to her natural constitution.  The Holy Quran says, “And We have not sent before you except men to warn them.” (Surah Yusuf: Verse: 109)

Judaism: According to Judaism, a woman can be a prophet. The Old Testament lists many women as prophets.

 Prophet Lot (peace be upon him)

David (peace be upon him)

Islam: Hazrat David (peace be upon him) is also a beacon of guidance. The Holy Quran praises him highly and the credit for putting the tyrant Goliath to eternal sleep goes to him. (Surah An-An’am: 85, Surah Al-Baqarah: 251)

Judaism: Judaism accuses Hazrat David (peace be upon him) of killing one of his soldiers or commanders and marrying his wife. (Book of Kings)

 Hazrat Solomon (peace be upon him)

Islam: Islam considers Hazrat Solomon (peace be upon him) to be a model of guidance, innocent of sins and a true prophet. And he is free from all kinds of disbelief, magic and idolatry.  (Surah Al-Baqarah: 102)

Judaism: Judaism does not consider Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him) as a model of guidance, but only a king, and does not consider him free from sins, and accuses him of disbelief, magic, and idolatry. (Solomon II)

Abraham

Islam: Islam considers Abraham a true Muslim and a Hanif: “Ibrahim was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Hanif, a Muslim, and he was not of the polytheists” (Aal Imran: 67)

Judaism: Judaism presents Abraham as a Jew and is so proud of him that the Jews do not even repent of their sins, saying that God will forgive their sins because of Abraham. (The Gospels of Luke and Mark)

 Marriage in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: Islam allows the marriage of a Muslim to a Jewish woman even if she remains a Jew. (Surah Al-Ma’idah: 3-4)

Dua in islam and in judaism

Islam: Islam encourages a Muslim to pray for success in both this world and the hereafter.  (Surah Al-Baqarah)

A true Muslim does not like to live long in this world and does not remember death with evil, but considers death to be just a bridge between this world and the Hereafter. His prayer is always: “O Allah, bless me in death and in what is after death.”

Judaism: Judaism encourages man to pray for happiness in this world only and prefers the worst life to death (the Hereafter).

Concept of Death in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: A Muslim, upon hearing of someone’s death, says “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un” Death is considered a reality and no devout Muslim is afraid of it. Rather, in the light of the hadith of the Prophet, death is considered a bridge between this world and the hereafter: “Al-Maut qantara bein al-duniya wa al-akhirah” (Surah Juma’ah, verse: 8, Al-Mu’minun, verse: 15)

Judaism: A Jew, upon hearing the name of death, says: “Blessed be the true judge.” The Jews are terrified by the very name of death, to the point that when death comes, they start calling the deceased by changing their name. The real reason for this is that they consider this world to be the real thing and want to live for thousands of years. (Al-Baqarah, verse: 96) (M.J.54,56)

Religious Education in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: In Islam, religious education is obligatory for both men and women, as stated in the Hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “Knowledge is a duty for every Muslim.”

Judaism: The Torah commands that you should educate your sons. For this reason, women are discriminated against in religious education in Judaism. According to some rabbis, teaching women the Torah is like setting fire to wood. Because, in the Bible, even the prophets, may Allaah protect them, are portrayed as adulterers, deceivers, and liars.  (M.J.93-94)

Satan                          

Islam: Satan deceived Adam and Eve and made them eat the forbidden tree. (Surah Al-A’raf, verse: 20)

Education and Women General Principles in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: It is obligatory for a man to educate his children, both religious and secular education are included in education. For this reason, the following women came to the fore in Islamic history:

(1) Hazrat Aisha Siddiqah (wife of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)) (2) Hazrat Umm Hani (3) Umm Kulthum (4) Hazrat Fatima (5) Maryam and Fatima who were the founders of the ․․․․ University Mosque, (6) Maulana Azad Hindi’s mother, (7) Jamila who left Judaism and converted to Islam, is also a big name in the field of education.

Judaism: 1- The first opinion is that it is obligatory for a man to teach his daughter the Torah.

 2- The second opinion is that whoever teaches his daughter Torah is like teaching his daughter dirty things.

3- The third opinion is that it is better to burn the Torah than to teach a woman Torah.

4- The fourth opinion is that when a woman asked a rabbi about the golden calf, she was rebuked and told that a woman has no business in education, her only job is to use the spindle.

5- The Jewish scholars forbade coeducation for women because it led to an intolerable moral degradation among women in Greece and Rome.

For the above reasons, there have not been many famous and well-educated women among Jewish women.https://baitularqam.com/rights-of-other-nations-and-religions-in-islam/

The position of women in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: Islam gives women their rightful position, but due to their constitution, they have fewer rights than men; but the general teaching is that “To men is a share of what they have earned, and to women a share of what they have earned” (Surah An-Nisa: Ruku’: 5) and “Whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, and is a believer, those will enter Paradise.”

Judaism: The woman is accused of having seduced Adam and made him eat the forbidden fruit. Therefore, she was the first to commit sin, that is, the woman is accused of starting the sin. As a punishment for which, the man is made the ruler over her. And she is punished with the birth of a child, etc. (Book of Creation: Chapter: 2-3) The woman usually thanks God by saying that she is grateful to God that He created me according to His will, and the man says that she is grateful to God that You did not make me a woman.  (M.J.)

 Polygamy

Judaism: According to Judaism, the first opinion is that there is no limit to the number of wives. The second opinion is only up to four. The third opinion is that for a second marriage, the first wife must be divorced. The fourth opinion is that in this era, influenced by Europe and America, the Jews have apparently stopped the practice of polygamy.

 Traveling for Women

Islam: In Islam, no woman can travel on a long journey without a mahram, even if it is a pilgrimage. It is good to have a mahram for even short and short journeys. (M- Islamic Jurisprudence: Chapter on Hajj)

Judaism: It is not permissible to talk about sexual matters in Judaism.

International laws in Islam and in Judaism

Ishmael and his mother in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: According to Islam, Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) left Prophet Ishmael (peace be upon him) and his mother in a barren valley (Makkah) so that the House of Allah could be built and prayers could be established. (Surah Ibrahim)

Ismael (peace be upon him) was not deprived of Prophet Abraham’s inheritance nor was he expelled from his home because of Prophet Sarah.

Judaism: Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) was forced by Prophet Hagar’s statement that Ishmael would not get anything from Abraham’s inheritance and that Ishmael (peace be upon him) had laughed at his younger brother Isaac (peace be upon him) in his youth, for which reason Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) expelled Ishmael and his mother from their home. (Book of Creation)

Memorization of the Torah and Quran

Islam: In Islam, the Holy Quran was written from the very first day and whenever a verse was revealed to the Prophet (peace be upon him), it was immediately written down. About forty people were assigned to write down the revelation. And the memorization of this book also became popular from the very first day because the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) had explained the virtues of memorizing the Quran a lot. (Virtues of the Quran: Maulana Zakaria, Uloom-ul-Quran Balgrami, former Dean of the Faculty of Religion, Aligarh)

Judaism: According to the Torah, Hazrat Moses (peace be upon him) had only one copy of the Torah. It was not obligatory to memorize it, but it was read to the public every seventh year, just as Uzair (peace be upon him) himself recited the Torah to the public in Jerusalem after the Jews returned from Babylon after their exile.  (Book of Exceptions: Book of Uzair)

The Reaction of Divine Actions

Islam: Allah does not repent after punishing the wrongdoers and this verse or its equivalent is often found: “And Allah did not wrong them, but they were wronging themselves.”

Judaism: Allah also repents after punishing the wrongdoers, as happened during the flood of Noah. (Book of Creation, Flood of Noah)

Addressing Humans in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: The Holy Quran addresses humans in general, Muslims, infidels, and all humans. For example, “Has He come upon the human being?” or “O you who believe?” or “O you who believe?” (Surah Ham-Sajdah, Surah Al-Dahr, Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah Al-A’raf)

Judaism: Judaism mostly addresses Jews with the words of the Children of Israel, and this is mostly found in the Torah.  As is also proven by the words of the Jewish faith “Sheema”. For example, it has been said ․․․․ Sheema Yashrooel O Israel, listen! (Book of Exceptions)

Use of Calendar in Islam and in Judaism

Islam: There is no Leap Year in Islam, that is, the increase or decrease in the days of a month depends only on the sighting of the moon. There is no human intervention in it. “Only forgetfulness increases in disbelief. Those who disbelieve, they make it lawful for a year and forbid it for a year, and they take an amount of what Allah has forbidden. So what Allah has forbidden is a decoration for us. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people” (Surah At-Tawbah, verse 37)

Jewishness: In Judaism, Leap Year is considered and every nineteenth year the month of Adar is added seven times. Which makes the calculation the same as the English calendar. That is, 365 days.  (Helleys Hand Book holy bible).

 Circumcision in Islam and In Judaism

Islam: Circumcision in Islam is the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), rather the Sunnah of Abraham. According to the Book of Genesis, the circumcision of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) was done at the age of 99, from then on this order is considered the Sunnah of the prophets, and therefore it is prevalent in Islam till today and will remain so, God willing.

Judaism: Circumcision was also prevalent in Judaism until a few centuries after the birth of Jesus (peace be upon him); but due to the increasing influence of Christianity, circumcision was banned after St. Paul, therefore today this Abrahamic Sunnah has also disappeared among Jews. (Acts of the Apostles, New Testament)
