Judaism

• Mezuzah
• On the doorposts of traditional Jewish homes (and
  many not-so-traditional homes!), you will find a
  small case like the one pictured at left. This
  case is commonly known as a mezuzah (Heb.
  doorpost), because it is placed upon the
  doorposts of the house. The mezuzah is not, as
  some suppose, a good-luck charm, nor does it have
  any connection with the lamb's blood placed on
  the doorposts in Egypt. Rather, it is a constant
  reminder of God's presence

• Torah
• The word "Torah" is a tricky one, because it can
  mean different things in different contexts. In
  its most limited sense, "Torah" refers to the
  Five Books of Moses Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus,
  Numbers and Deuteronomy. But the word "torah" can
  also be used to refer to the entire Jewish bible
  (the body of scripture known to non-Jews as the
  Old Testament and to Jews as the Tanakh or
  Written Torah), or in its broadest sense, to the
  whole body of Jewish law and teachings.

Christianity

• Bible- The Bible is a collection of 66 books
  written by about 40 authors, in three different
  languages, on three different continents, over
  approximately 1600 years.  It is the source of
  the Christian religion in that the Bible contains
  the words of God and how the Christian is to
  apply the words of God to his life.

Islam

• Islam is a monotheistic religion originating with
  the teachings of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, a
  7th century Arab religious and political figure.
  The word Islam means "submission", or the total
  surrender of oneself to God.

Islam

• The Star and Crescent Symbol - The star and
  crescent is a well-known symbol of Islam. It
  features prominently on the flags of many
  countries in the Islamic world, notably Turkey
  and Pakistan.
• Contrary to popular belief, the symbol is not
  Muslim in origin. Rather, it was a polytheistic
  icon adopted during the spread of Islam, and its
  use today is sometimes controversial in the
  Muslim world.
• The crescent and star are often said to be
  Islamic symbols, but historians say that they
  were the insignia of the Ottoman Empire, not of
  Islam as a whole.
