There are hundreds of religions in this world. Of them three great faiths, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are historically connected. The real source of the world's great religions is in history, in the reaction of men's spirits to the course of events, or, in other words, to the divine education of the race (Bell 13). The origin from which they all sprang is to be found in the prophetic desire, which the path of history called forth amid the people of Israel. Judaism and Christianity are recognized as both playing a major role in the start of Islam. There are certain passages in the Qur'an and in Islam that appear to be directly related to Judaism but are actually channeled through Christianity. Both Islam and Christianity share almost the same framework; though they also differ in many different ways there overall beliefs are comparable.
The epic story of how Islam began has often been told of how an orphaned camel driver in Mecca from the Quraysh tribe became the ruler of a nation, the unifier of warring Arab tribes, the founder of a great religion, and the chief instrument in the creation of an empire which stretched from India and China in the East through southwest Asia and the Mediterranean to Spain in the West (Cash 1).
