Why would Muslims preach that Muhammad was the last prophet?

Summary1. How does Islam shape the values of

society? 2. How can we compare and contrast

Islam, Judaism, and Christianity?

1. One similarity between the Five Pillars of Islam and the Ten Commandments is that both

(1) provide a guide to proper ethical and moral behavior

(2) encourage the use of statues to symbolize God(3) promote learning as a means to salvation (4) support a belief in reincarnation

2. Judaism, Islam, and Christianity share a belief in

(1) the central authority of the Pope (2) a prohibition of the consumption of port (3) reincarnation and the Four Noble Truths (4) monotheism and ethical conduct

3. Jewish religious and cultural identity has been greatly influenced by

(1) the New Testament and the Four Noble Truths(2) Ramadan and the concept of reincarnation (3) the Torah and the Diaspora (4) the Koran and the code of bushido

4. One way in which the Vedas, the Bible, and the Koran are similar is that these religious books

(1) provide guidelines to govern the behavior of believers

(2) deny the existence of a supreme being who rules the universe

(3) encourage strife between segments of believers (4) support political rebellions to overthrow existing

governments

5. The Buddhist religion teaches that salvation is earned by

(1) worshiping Allah as the one true god (2) following the Ten Commandments (3) learning to give up selfish desire (4) being baptized and confirmed
