For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Its not an easy question to answer as there is not precise text where someone can say that all three major religions share and believe in. Being a Muslim I can try giving you Islamic perspective. Muslims believe that about 124K prophets and messengers were sent by God starting with Adam and finishing with Mohammad. Most of them were given books, texts or some sort of teachings as message to humankind. By name there are 25 prophets (I believe) and four books mentioned in Quran. Muslims have to believe in all of them from being God and that is fundamental of faith. But Muslims also believe that majority of those books and their message were only for a specific time and place. And that is the reason you do not find any of the books in their original form apart from Quran as they got corrupted when historians and others added their own views in. Now to answer your question I would say that Muslims agree with any teachings of Torah and Bible which can be verified with Quran and have no problem in sharing that and believing in.
Jews do not believe in Jesus (pbuh) being a prophet and together Jews and Christians do not believe Muhammad (pbuh) as prophet. Now you may work out what they might be sharing and most importantly believing in. Jews and Christians say Muhammad (pbuh) plagiarised Quran from Bible and Torah where Muslims believe that the similarities in the message is due to the same source.

The Koran in its original form does not exist. The earliest copy in existence was written after the death of Mohammed.
//Muslims agree with any teachings of Torah and Bible which can be verified with Quran//
Since the Koran is the youngest of all the writings, it would be more appropriate to verify(?) that with the earlier texts rather than the other way around.

People pass A level first and then go for graduation and master. So to verify if education at masters level is right you verify it against the one being taught at GCSC or A level. You do have an argument.
As for the originality of Quran, I have repeated so many times and surely can't waste more time specially for someone who already knows the answers she wants to see.

Would I be correct in understanding from what keyplus has said that god issued texts to suit various peoples and times and that the koran supercedes all those. I would like to see the text in the koran that in effect says that 'this book supercedes all previous versions and is valid until a specified date or the second coming whichever comes first.'
Jomifl – I could not understand second part of your question but to clarify I would say again. Here I am talking about three books before Quran. Zabur (to David), Torah (to Moses,known as OT) and Injil (to Jesus, NT) last two together are known as Bible believe. These books were only for specific people and for specific time and it is mentioned in Bible. Whereas Quran was for whole mankind and for unspecified period and that is also mentioned in Quran. And there are logical reasons too to back this claim but as I said I do not want to go into those details on a thread that does not demand that.
Keyplus, I do think you should add 'according to Islam' to your declarations - just to avoid confusion, you know. ;o)
//These books were only for specific people and for specific time and it is mentioned in Bible. //
I don't recall that at all, but it certainly warrants investigation. Could you give me the specific biblical reference please?

Other passages in the Bible decree that certain parts are meant to be permanent directions.
The fact is all these stupid books were written by very primitive people and contain dubious "wisdom" that can be demonstrated to be nothing more than blatant fascist ideology.
It is time the belivers grew up and stopped believing fairy tales.
