The Ten Commandments are good, basic and moral laws that will help keep us out of problem with ourselves, family, friends, and neighbors. God knows what is the best for all of us and He simply wants all of us to stay out of problem in order that we may be able to live in peace and harmony with one another. Islam is one of the three Abrahamic faiths beside Judaism and Christianity. Many of the teachings such as worshiping only one God (Monotheism) is similar to other religion such as Judaism and Christianity. It is the religion of Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, Muhammad (Sm) and all the other messengers mentioned or not mentioned in the Quran, the Muslim?s scripture. Islam does accept the status of both Moses and Jesus as prophets, which means that the Commandments are not completely ignored. If we take a look at Ten Commandments of God estimated in Exodus 20. There are many commandments that reapplied in the Quran. There are certain ayats (verses) in the Quran which include ten important commandments given by Allah to mankind, where several command very similar to the Ten Commandments.
