Among the world's three major religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all have a long history and rich cultural heritage. They all originated in the Middle East and have spread and developed widely around the world.
Origin and History:
Judaism is the earliest of the three religions and originated in ancient Palestine around 2000 BC. The belief in Judaism is based on the laws of Moses and the Old Testament, as well as Jewish history and tradition. Judaism believes that there is only one God, and that God has spoken directly to His prophets and followers. Judaism emphasizes faith in God, obedience to God's laws, and respect for God's wishes and instructions. Judaism has long been one of the most important religions in the world and one of the important sources of Christianity and Islam.
Judaism
Christianity originated in the Roman Empire in the 1st century AD, and it is a religion centered on Jesus Christ. Jesus was crucified in 33 AD, and His death and resurrection became central to the Christian faith. Christianity emphasizes faith and love for God, as well as faith in and salvation in Jesus. Christianity divided into several branches in the early days, which evolved and developed later, splitting into many different denominations and doctrines.

Islam originated in the Arabian Peninsula in the early 7th century AD and is the youngest religion, spread by the Prophet Muhammad. The faith in Islam is based on the Qur'an, which emphasizes faith and the practice of true teachings aimed at peace and happiness in this world and in the life to come. The core doctrine of Islam is that "only Allah (Arabic: الله, Allah) is God and Muhammad is his messenger (Arabic: رسول, Rasul)", as well as the teachings and traditions of Muhammad.
Islam
Joint points
All three religions believe in a single true God, emphasize the worship and reverence of God, and all oppose idolatry and polytheistic worship, believing in and worshipping only one supreme Creator who rules all things in the universe. In addition, they all have clear moral guidelines and codes of conduct that encourage believers to adhere to their faith and ethical principles.
Differences
Judaism and Christianity see different roles for Jesus Christ: Judaism sees Jesus as just a prophet, while Christianity sees him as the Savior and Son of God. Islam also respects Jesus, but considers him to be just one of the prophets.
Religious rituals and prayer styles also differ: Judaism, Christianity and Islam have different prayer and worship habits, rituals and customs, some similar in some respects and others very different.
God is called differently: Judaism calls "Artenai" and does not want to call Jehovah directly; Christianity is called the Messiah or Christ or God, God; Islam calls Allah or Allah.
The scriptures are different: Judaism embraces the Old Testament and the Law of Moses; Christianity embraces the entire Bible, both the Old and New Testaments; Islam is based on the Qur'an.
Koran
Although there are many differences between the three religions, they also have a lot in common. Both emphasize respect for moral and ethical values, as well as love and compassion for others.
Holy sites of the three religions
Jerusalem is a Middle Eastern city known as the Holy Land of the Three Religions because of its religious significance to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Jerusalem is located in the central region of present-day Israel and has a rich history and rich religious culture.
Judaism:
Solomon's Temple
Jerusalem has a special significance for Jews because it is the birthplace of Judaism. Jews believe that Jerusalem was God's chosen city where King David and King Solomon founded the Kingdom of Israel. Solomon's Temple on the Temple Mount is the holiest place in Judaism, and although the temple has been destroyed, the Western Wall (Wailing Wall) remains a place of pilgrimage and prayer for Jews.
Wailing Wall
The Wailing Wall, also known as the Western Wall, is located in the Old City of Jerusalem and is the only remaining part of the parapet wall of the Second Temple of the ancient Jewish state. For thousands of years, whenever given the opportunity to return to their homeland, Jews have found this parapet wall, praying affectionately and crying about the pain of exile in front of this stone wall, a symbol of faith and suffering, hence the name "Wailing Wall".
Christian:
Whiplash column
Jerusalem also holds a high status for Christians because it is the place of the crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Among them, the most famous pilgrimage sites are the crucifixion, the whipping column, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Christians believe that Jesus fulfilled his mission of human salvation here, so Jerusalem is vital to the Christian faith.
Islam:
Dome of the Rock
Jerusalem also has a special place in Islam, being known as the "Third Holy City", after Mecca and Medina. The Temple Mount here is home to the famous Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Muhammad, the founder of Islam, is believed to have traveled from Mecca to Jerusalem at night on his holy horse "Burak" and ascended to heaven to meet the prophets. This event made Jerusalem an important pilgrimage site for Islam.
Jerusalem
Jerusalem's central position among the three monotheistic religions makes the city a pilgrimage destination for believers from all over the world.
The importance of Jerusalem has also led to political and religious conflicts in the region. For years, Jerusalem has been the focus of conflict between Israel and Palestine, both peoples claiming sovereignty over the city.
Jerusalem has also experienced many wars and conquests throughout its history. During the Crusades, Christian nations tried to seize Jerusalem and retake it from the Muslims. Jerusalem changed hands several times and became a focal point of contention between Christians, Judaisms and Muslims.
Jerusalem
Jerusalem, the name of which it is, will continue to shine in the complex, mysterious and elusive light of world history.
Jerusalem is an unanswered question, an undecipherable mystery. It has witnessed the ups and downs and changes of human civilization and carried too many grievances and resentments.
In the days to come, it will continue to be the focus of international politics and religion. Every stone and every street of it records the memory of a nation and the attention of the world.
Perhaps, this is the will of God in which they believe...
