Historical Relationships between Islam, Judaism, and Christianity

There are both similarities and differences between Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. Some differences are that most Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God and Islams believe that he is only a prophet. For Islam, Muhammad was the one and only prophet. Jews do not believe that Jesus is a prophet, or in any way holy. Islam has many beliefs and practices that are in common with Judaism, and Christianity. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are all known as the "Abrahamic religions" and Muhammad also met both Jews and Christians during his lifetime. All of these religions only believe in one God.
