Role of Judaism, Christianity and Islam in Promoting Human Values in the Strife-Torn World

Abstract

Abstract: The modern era may be deemed as that of scientific and technological
development but peace and harmony among the people remain elusive. The
two world wars, Palestinian problem, bombing of world twin towers, invasion
of Muslim countries by Americans and allied forces, and the continuous blood
shedding of humanity in one form or another in different parts of the world, all
these horrifying phenomena prove lack of political will on the part of United
Nations. Had religions in the strife-torn regions played their crucial role, there
would never have occurred bloodshed of the humanity. Judaism, Christianity,
and Islam account for the big majority in the world today and have so many
things in common, especially essential human values guided by two universal
principles, unity of God and unity of man. The Ten Commandments in the
Torah, confirmation of the Mosaic Law in the Bible, and reconfirmation of the
Mosaic and Biblical instructions in the Qur’an still hold the significance for
creating peace and harmony among people of the three creeds.
