God with him. He had the Ten Commandments, which today is found in the Torah, the sacred word of God his actual laws to live by. (Encarta Judaism 1) “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before Me and be perfect, and will make My covenant between Me and you and I will multiply you exceedingly.” Abram fell on his face and God spoke with him, saying, “as for me, behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations. Neither shall your name be called anymore Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, because I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. And I will make you exceedingly fruitful and I will make nations of you. And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your seed after you. And I will give to you, and to your seed after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.” (Rice 79)

The second major concept of Judaism is the covenant or the contractual agreement between God and the Israelites. The God of creation entered into a special relationship with the Jewish people at Sinai. Thus they acknowledge that God is the sole ultimate king and his people must obey his commandments or laws. All Jews believe that the great prophet or Messiah will come God and take away the suffering. The earliest of Jews were not monotheistic completely. They worshipped one God but they did not deny that there were other gods that people of other nation believed in. “Yahweh had redeemed the Israelites from Egypt and brought them into the Promised Land. Israelite religion made the people bound to the land and the agricultural cycle of the year. Yahweh was believed to bring the rainfall that guaranteed a good harvest. If the community was unfaithful there would be a drought.” (Rice101) “Five times a day the Muslims turn toward Mecca, the Holy City where the Prophet Muhammad first received the Message from Allah that He alone was supreme, to testify to the great truth of that Message. There is no god but God, cries the Muezzin, from the top of the minaret as he calls the faithful to worship. LA ILAHA-ILLA ALLAH
