Also Islam and Judaism believe in eternal life in Paradise or Hell depending on the good deeds you do in your life on earth. The biggest part of Muslim belief system is the “Five Pillars of Islam”. These five pillars are Testimony of Faith, Prayer, Zakat, Fasting during Ramadan, and the Pilgrimage to Makkah. In Judaism they have “13 principles of Faith” in which they believe in. These 13 principles are only one God, God Exist, God is incorporeal, God is Eternal, praying to only one God, Prophets words are true, the greatest Prophet was Moses and his Prophecies are true, the Torah was given to Moses, no other form of Torah, God knows every thought, God punishes the bad and rewards the good, the Messiah (Jesus) will come, and that the dead will be resurrected.
The prophet Abrahams was considered the first Jew to establish an agreement with God. The Ancient monotheistic religion believes that Judaism is an ethical way of life. Armed with their fundamental text known as the Hebrew Bible( The Toran), the Jews concentrated on living a moral life. The Jewish people believe that God cannot be made up of three parts because that would constitute as several Gods. The Jewish people do not believe in any prophets after their prophets, and that would include Jesus and Mohammad.
“What do the Ten Commandments say about Jewish (and Christian and Muslim) beliefs in the powers of God?” The Ten Commandments demonstrate that Jewish, Christian and Muslim beliefs are similar in that God’s powers are that God’s powers are exceptional because there is only one God to be worshiped and he is the most powerful god for creating Earth itself. In adhering to the Ten Commandments, Jews, Christians and Muslims are surrendering to God’s supreme power and in turn, shall benefit in the afterlife. The Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions are all monotheistic and therefore they worship only one god. In these three religions, God is the only god that can be praised and worshiped according to the Ten Commandments. This is evident in Exodus, the First Commandment is, “I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt […]” From this statement, God is declaring his almighty power and complete authority over his followers.
Foods that are kosher for Passover, however, are always kosher for year-round use. There is no such thing as "kosher-style" food. Kosher is not a style of cooking.

Hinduism recognizes the Vedas as the most ancient and authoritative body of religious literature. They are the foundational scriptures common to all branches of Hinduism.

Hinduism and Buddism: Subtopic: How do Buddhist and Hindu's view of liberation reflect their religious beliefs of the people? Thesis: Although the final goals for Hinduism and Buddhism: moksha and nirvana are similar, the Buddhists reject the sacrifices and caste system in Hinduism in order to reach the goal. The Buddhist reject the Hindus’ belief of Brahman and atman. The Hindus believe all of our soul (atman) is part of Brahmin. Brahmin also created every atman.
As shown by the first part of this statement, it is important to Muslims that only Allah is to be worshiped (Nosotro). Muslims also do not take Muhammad to be Allah or even divine. They believe he is the last of a long line of prophets. Other than Muhammad, whom Jews do not consider to be a prophet, Muslims share prophets with the Jews like Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and even Jesus. They also share the Jewish first commandment, which states "You shall put no other gods before me."
The religion and philosophy of China is unique. Partially it speaks that unique of great religions of mankind, it has begun the development in isolation, not testing influence from outside. Two basic beliefs of China, two basic philosophical directions, Confucianism and Taoism, had time to be issued in independent doctrines before the country has ceased to be closed for other world. Confucianism and Taoism have nothing general with the monotheistic religions concentrated around of the uniform God, such, as Jewish, Christianity and Islam. Especially it concerns Confucianism which in general gives not enough attention to the nature and activity of the God.

The Buddha is a descendant of Hindu so as Jesus of a Jewish family. However, others still don not believe that the Buddha was a member of the Hindu pantheon, also a child born of a Hinduism family. Such an approach is unacceptable to many Buddhists. However, it is clear that Buddha gained fame, popularity as most of the Indian origin viewed it as a rescuer from the oppression of tradition and orthodoxy.
