Bibles are nothing but historical records. It is just a book, filled with recorded history. Nobody has to be directed to write a bible.

i have suddenly started to think about jesus and have to read the bible for a subject at school so i am half half on this

there is the old testament and the new testament.

all three - christianity, islam, and judaism base themselves on the old testament. i don't think there is any specific difference in the the old testament that those three religions use. the difference is what comes after..

for instance:
the new testament part of the bible is only followed by christians - some of the parts in it are said to have been written by some of jesus's desciples. it is considered to be about jesus's life and death.

the koran - is followed by muslims. it is considered to contain the will of god revealed to muhammad.

judaism - only follows the old testament

if i'm wrong here somebody who knows better please correct me


- isnt it weird that all three of these religions have the old testament as their base?

Islaam is based upon the Qur'aan and the Sunnah (way) of Muhammad  (peace be upon him)
The Qur'aan are the words of God revealed to Muhammad, and were written down by his companions (as he couldn't read or write).

The Qur'aan is a book that contains no errors nor contradictions, and has not been changed since it was revealed over 1400 years ago (unlike other books that man has since corrupted).

The Qur'aan also contains many scientific facts that have only been discovered in the past century.

We believe in the Psalms that was revealed to Dawuud (David), we believe in the scripture that was revealed to Ibraahim (Abraham), we believe in the Torah that was revealed to Musa (Moses), we believe in the Gospel that was revealed to 'Eesa (Jesus), and we believe in any other scripture that was revealed to the Prophets and/or Messengers before them (Peace be upon all of them).

Having said that, we do not follow nor consider these books to be the pure word of God anymore, since they have been changed (and corrupted) by mankind - fact.

ah.. now i understand.. thanks

Im fair sure there would be something after death but I dont think it will be one place for bad people and one place for good people , i think we will be reborn into other creatures or humans again.

i think that when we die, it's just like going to a sleep and we will never wake up from it again and cease to exist. it sounds scary even to myself
