"Oh People of the Book, [let us] come to an agreement between us and you that we shall worship none but Allah and ascribe no partner to Him and none of us shall take as lords other than Allah." (Qur'an, Surah Al'Imran 3;64)

This essay begins from the understanding that there are so many parallels between the Qur'an and the Torah that there can be no real question of our shared beliefs and their common origin. These include many injunctions from the God regarding moral behavior and articles of faith as well as historical references. Many examples from both Jewish and Muslim scriptures and scholars are cited.

However, in conclusion Shaykh Nooruddeen is not overly optimistic about common understanding unless there is a will to understand, perhaps in the realim of intimate personal dialogue between secure believers who can see through to the common source of our differing beliefs.
