What is the difference between Judaism and Islam?

Thank you for your question.

Judaism and Islam have many things in common. For example, we have the same idea about God (Allah); and we have the similar ideas regarding giving charity, and about holiness.

Yet, the differences are significant:

• The Koran says that the Jews changed the Torah [7.162]. We do not agree.


• The Koran says that Allah has rejected the Jews, but we do not agree. He told us in the Torah that he will never reject us.


• Allah told us in the Torah that the Torah is forever, so we should not follow a prophet who tells us to add to it or subtract from it, that is one reason why we do not follow Mohammad.

So you see, the basic differences are between the Torah and the Koran. Which book is the true word of Allah? How can you be sure?
