Some of the prophets sent by God were given pages and some were given holy books. In the Qur'an, the prophets mentioned who were given holy books; David, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. The Qur'an has made occasional references to previous religions. Within these references; the Quran spoke of the beliefs, worship, and moral behavior of previous religions and their followers, and also criticized them for their mistakes. One of the aims of the Qur'an is to prevent other people from making the same mistake and to show them the right way. In this study, the mistakes of Jews and Christians are determined according to the Qur'an, the criticisms of the Qur'an towards Jews and Christians were systematically collected and illustrated in where when necessary. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are monotheistic religions in origin. Allah has sent down holy books to some of their prophets to guide the Jews and Christians to the right path. After their prophets had left, they corrupted and distorted the holy books sent down to them. As a result, they were in a belief and attitude contrary to what was commanded to them. Jews and Christians have associated God with son as well as taking their scribes and monks as Lords besides God. Therefore, according to the Qur'an, they fell info polytheism. The holy books of the Jews and Christians, had the glad tidings of Prophet Muhammad's coming and a promise taken from them to believe and support Him. However, they broke their Covenant with Allah. They denied the last prophet, Muhammad. Jews and Christians, by making a distinction between prophets, believed in some of the prophets sent by Allah, while they denied some others. According to the Qur'an, they were disbelievers because of their attitudes. Many prophets were sent to the Jews, but they had abnormal wishes from the prophets. They also slandered some prophets, and unjustly slaughtered some others. Jews and Christians claimed that they were the only people who belong Abraham and they only would enter paradise. The Qur'an has criticized them for such words, acts and attitudes.
