The Quran's teachings contrasted with Christianity, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism
The Quran is written based on Allah and his expectations of Humankind. The script basically establishes an ideology that Allah is the one and only god that is superior to all. He must be worshiped through devotion and sacrifice. In addition to this the Quran also states that those who do not worship Allah are considered astray and will not be in the mercy of Allah. In comparison, Christianity and Judaism are completely different. Jesus's teachings is focused around a concept of being kind and forgiving. According the th ideology of Christianity and Judaism, those who refrain from seeking revenge for harm done, treat evil with kindness, and pray for those who hate will be blessed by god. According to Jesus's teachings, blessed are those who do good, give mercy, struggle through hunger poverty, etc. But unlike the teachings the Quran supports, Christianity and Juadism does not require sacrifice in order to be blessed by god. On the other had, the teachings of Zoroastrianism are indirectly similar to the teachings of the Quran. The reason being, in Zoroastrianism it is taught that those who follow Ahura Mazda by being good will be rewarded on Judgment Day but all those that do not follow him are evil and worship Angra Mainyu. So in Zoroastrianism there is sort of a lack of choice where people get an opportunity to choose to follow a god, because those who end up choosing not to worship Mazda are automatically considered worshipers of Angra Mainyu, which leads to no rewards or blessing; Similarly, the Quran teaches that those who are not followers of Allah and his Apostle are considered astray and will receive no blessing or mercy from god (Allah).
