The Quran is over 1,400 years old, with its revelations beginning around 610 CE to Prophet Muhammad, continuing until his death in 632 CE; manuscripts like the Birmingham Quran, radiocarbon-dated to between 568-645 AD, represent some of the earliest physical evidence, showing remarkable consistency with the text used today.
Both are Abrahamic religions and monotheistic, originating in the Middle East. Christianity developed out of Second Temple Judaism in the 1st century CE. It is founded on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and those who follow it are called Christians. Islam developed in the 7th century CE.
Muslims believe the Quran was orally revealed by God to the final Islamic prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel incrementally over a period of some 23 years, beginning on the Laylat al-Qadr, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632, the year of his death.
Prophet Muhammad said: “Both in this world and in the Hereafter, I am the nearest of all people to Jesus, the son of Mary. The prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one.” “Behold! The angels said: 'O Mary!
Quran's Text Unchanged for 1400 Years, Thanks to Millions of Huffaz.

Who is older, Muhammad or Jesus?
The prophethood of Jesus is preceded by that of Yaḥyā ibn Zakariyyā (John the Baptist) and succeeded by Muhammad, the latter coming of whom Jesus is reported in the Quran to have foretold under the name Ahmad.
Unlike the Christian view of the death of Jesus, most Muslims believe he was raised to Heaven without being put on the cross and God created a resemblance to appear exactly like Jesus who was crucified instead of Jesus, and he ascended bodily to Heaven, there to remain until his Second Coming in the End days.
According to traditional Islamic scholarship, all of the Quran was written down by Muhammad's companions while he was alive (during CE 610–632), but it was primarily an orally related document.
The Quran strictly emphasizes the oneness of God and rejects any form of division or association with God (Tawhid). In contrast, Christianity, as reflected in the Bible, embraces the doctrine of the Trinity, which describes God as three persons in one essence: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.
According to the Encyclopedia of the Quran, many verses of the Quran ask mankind to study nature, and this has been interpreted to mean an encouragement for scientific inquiry, and the investigation of the truth.
Judaism came first, with its origins tracing back to Abraham (c. 2nd millennium BCE) and Moses (c. 1200 BCE), establishing the first monotheistic faith, while Islam emerged much later, in the 7th century CE, with the Prophet Muhammad in Arabia, building on the same Abrahamic tradition but as a distinct religion. Muslims view Adam as the first Muslim, but historically, Judaism was practiced in pre-Islamic Arabia for centuries before Islam's founding.
Both faiths teach one Creator (as do various other religions), but the character, commands, and plan of salvation revealed by YHWH and Allah directly contradict each other. With all of this considered, the answer becomes clear: they are not the same deity, and we don't both worship the same God.
The word Hindu is an exonym, and while Hinduism has been called the oldest surviving religion in the world, it is also described by the 19th century term Sanātana Dharma ( lit. 'eternal dharma'). Vaidika Dharma ( lit. 'Vedic dharma') and Arya Dharma are historical endonyms for Hinduism.
There is an obvious reason for this: Islam did not appear until about 600 years after Jesus. Therefore, when you read the New Testament the subject of Islam and the person of Muhammad are never mentioned (though Jesus does warn generally about false prophets in Matthew 7:15-16 and 24:24-25).
The gap between Prophet Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) is around 600 yrs. So, Islam didn't start when Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was sent but Islam is completed through him as the seal/last of all Prophets.
As such, orthodox Islamic belief has upheld the virgin birth of Jesus, and although the classical Islamic thinkers never dwelt on the question of the perpetual virginity of Mary, it was generally agreed in traditional Islam that Mary remained a virgin throughout her life, with the Quran's mention of Mary's purification ...
