    It is part of the Torah, the Old Testament. In fact, it’s canon for Muslims too

    Can you explain a little bit more? So the old testament is relevant to all three religion and two hate each other. sounds interesting.

      Judaism, Christianity, Islam and a few other religions (Rastafarianism for example) are part of the same family of religions, called “Abrahamic Religions”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrahamic_religions In Islam, “Allah” literally means “God”. It’s the same God that Jews and Christians believe in. Arab Christians call God “Allah”.

      When it comes to the bible itself, “the Quran mentions the Torah, Psalms, and Gospel as being revealed by God in the same way the Quran was revealed to Muhammad” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_view_of_the_Bible
