Hello Dana, good to hear from you!

Good question!

I've heard of Sufism but never really looked into who they are.

I'm going to check out the link you posted to learn more!

Thanks!

Hello Medina and welcome to the forum.

In my opinion each religion has its own unique similarities and differences so I wouldn't say one is "closer" than the other.

I do know what the original is though!

I agree.

I would look at the differences between the two religions.

For instance, Islam teaches that Jesus is the Messiah; Judaism does not.

I would also take a look at the founder of Islam, Muhammad.

Was Muhammad a prophet foretold by the God of Israel?  Muslims say he is in the following Scriptures.

Genesis 49:10 Shiloh is Mohammad?

Deuteronomy 18:18, Muslims claim Muhammad is the prophet like Moses.

Deuteronomy 33:2 The claim that Muhammad is prophesied in Deuteronomy 33:2 / With ten thousand saints?

Song of Songs 5:16

Isaiah 21:13-17 Muhammad's flight to Medina?

Isaiah 29:12 A prediction of an illiterate prophet?

Haggai 2:7 A prophecy of Muhammad?

Habakkuk 3:3 The one coming from Mt. Paran

Zechariah 9:9 Riding on a donkey - a prophecy of Umar and the victory of Islam?
