Judaism and Islam are two of the world's oldest, and largest monotheistic religions. These religions share a variety of customs, beliefs, and even practices. But at the same time, there are enough differences to make the two religions and cultures oppose each other greatly. Even some similarities between the two have been the source of conflict for thousands of years.
Both the Jewish and Muslim faith believe in one God. Being monotheistic means just that, the belief in one God. This is the most obvious similarity between the two religions. In fact a Muslim is defined as anyone who says "There is no God but God, and Mohammed is the messenger of God." and the basic creed of Judaism says "Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one."
Judaism and Islam both have Holy Books from which religious teachings are taken. The Muslim Holy Book is called the Quran, it is spelled in English in many different ways Koran, Kuran, this is because Arabic is hard to translate.
The Quran is the word of God as reveled by the prophet Mohammed. The Jewish Holy Book is referred to as the Hebrew Bible. The first five books of the Hebrew Bible is called the Torah.

Comparing Judaism and Islam
To compare both of these faiths takes some courage. Jews and Muslims are apparently to do with each other, as well as Christians.

Christians shall always be kind, however much Muslims urge them with distaste, if distaste is ever expressed.
You have made a good comparison, using your matter of opinion clearly and distinctly. Details are taught methodically, but the structure of the essay needs some more perfecting. Details are comprehensive, but thought must be attached in more width and breadth.
I do not see how you are to compare the five great pillars of Islam with Jewish Faith; in my opinion, the pillars are too concretely Islamic and Jewish attributes and traits can never be derived from that. Never mind!
