New Years Wishes

Concerning religion, Jews, Christians and Muslims have more in common than they have differences. Jews, Christians and Muslims trace their religious roots to the family of Abraham. In the Qur'an, Muslims recognize Jesus and Moses as prophets. Muslims call Christians and Jews people of the book, because the Christian Bible and the Jewish torah are books of revelation similar to the Qur'an. Ishmael was Abraham's first son with his wife Hagar. Muhammed is a descendant of Ishmael. Mohammed is the final prophet of the Muslim religion. During his time on earth, Mohammed never renounced the Jewish or Christian faith, he only claimed to complete and perfect their teachings. Jews and Chritians trace their line of faith through Isaac the second born son of Abraham with Sarah. Jews, Christians and Muslims all trace their religious line of faith through Abraham. As members of the family of Abraham, this New Year, lets all celebrate the the family of Abraham. May Jews, Christians and Muslims enjoy peace on earth and share good will among humankind.
