Abrahamic Religioins
Question
Shalom, I've seen numerous videos online where rabbis have said they recognise Muslims as an abrahamic religion and it's root are from the religion of Noah if not Adam. Came you shed some light on that statement?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
The Jewish people come from Abraham through his son Isaac.
The Arabs (most Muslims in the world are Arabs) come from Abraham through his son Ishmael. Furthermore, Islam in general associates itself very strongly to Abraham. So too, Islam is Monotheistic, which is an idea that Abraham gave to the world.
As such, the Arabs, and all Muslims, call themselves an "Abrahamic" religion.
We believe that Jews must keep the Torah and non-Jews must keep the Noahide laws. For more on the Noahide laws see: https://sukkatshalom-bneinoach.com/ and https://www.netivonline.org/
