Origin of Abrahamic Religion
Judaism
Is the oldest among the three Abrahamic religions,
beginning at around 3, 500 B.C.E. According to the Old Testament
or Hebrew Bible, the ancient Israelites traces the origin of their
nation and their religion as well to one family distinct from other
groups of people in Southwest Asia by Virtue of belief in one God.
Islam
The youngest of the Abrahamic religions, started around 622 C.E.,
considered as the beginning of the Islamic calendar.
The word Islam is an Arabic word which means’’
submission’’ or ‘’surrender’’ and is also related to salaam the
Arabic word for ‘’peace’’.it originated from Mecca, which is
found in the Arabian Peninsula, with Muhammad, considered the
last prophet or ‘’Seal of the Prophet’’. It was in Mecca,
Muhammad is born and raised by his uncle Abu Talib, worked as
an assistant to a rich widow Khadija whom he later married, and
mediated on certain social issues such as unequal distribution of
wealth, leading to a great divide between the rich and the poor,
as well as the possession of slaves. It was during one of his
visits to a cave the angel Gabriel appeared before him, delivering
the message of Allah that he was chosen to found a new religion
and preach that Allah is the only God that should be worshipped.
At first he thought he was just having a hallucination, but later on
he was convinced that he was indeed chosen by God to spread his
words so he began preaching in Mecca when he won some converts.
