The relationship between Islam, Judaism, and Christianity

Both Islam and Christianity originated from Judaism having the same common idea that there was one god:  monotheistic. Though each religion had distinct perspective on their God. They all share a familiar relationship with their God and also the story on how earth was created is similar.  Though there main differences is that the christians believe the messiah has come (Jesus Christ) while the jews believe that the messiah has yet to come and the muslims believe that Jesus doesn't have the right to forgive the peoples sins only the god all knowing does.

Muhammad lived in Makkah were the main religion was polytheistic and people from all over the world came to worship there. Makkah was considered a holy city because of the temples and shrines they built there. Muhammad lived in a very rich city were it was known to be the crossroads of trading and gained their wealth from trading. Back then there was no government only clans and tribes were each clans and tribe listened to their ruler, etc.
