Summary/Abstract: Islam is the last and great monotheistic religion created in the Middle East. The undisputed influences of Judaism and heterodox Judeo-Christianity on Mohammed’s religious consciousness are present not only in the Koran, but the dogmatic teachings of Islam, which is the mythical-poetic framework, expressed as an extension of the Semitic monotheistic cycle conceived in the east. As Jerabean Judaism is considered a religion of revelation, and the Jews themselves considered themselves a God-selected nation, so Islam itself tried to incorporate ultimate truth and revelation of the existence of only the One and Only God as the last prophet. Considering that Christians teach and confess that Christianity is the only religion that is God-revealed, people are given the perfect God-embodied Personality of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Similarly, the Islamic dogmatic teaching developed the belief that the Koran is a textual Word of God, which is continually interpreted in the world as Allah’s superior linguistic.
