Hi, need to submit a 750 words essay on the topic Unit project.

These religions are waging war with each other as if these religions were stranger from each other but in fact they were founded on the same soil and shared several prayer sites. Prophet Muhammad prayed at the same mosque at Al Aqsa Mosque which is also a Holy place for the Jews as the Temple of the Mount.

Christians, Muslims and Jews are Abrahamic religions and they are being called such because their faith are based on a Sacred Writing which explains why they are also called as the “People of the Book” (www.

They may call their God as Jesus Christ for the Christians, Yahweh for the Jews and Allah for the Muslim. It is important to note that Christians sometimes interchange the name of God to Yahweh and acknowledges the Torah which is part of their Holy Bible. Muslim’s Holy Quran also mentions Jesus Christ as one of its prophet and even Mary and several characters of the Holy Bible is present there. Daodejing on the other hand is separate and apart from these organized religions because it teaches more a way of life coming from the teaching of Laozi/Lao Tzu more than offering any “salvation” due to the belief of a certain God.

Abrahamic religions may have a lot of similarities but they are still in conflict with each other.
