Comparing Islam to other religions

Compare the Quran's teachings on the relationship between Allah and human beings with the views of Zoroastrians, Jews, and Christians discussed in earlier chapters (pg 350)

The Quran's teachings, are for obvious reasons, very similar to that of Zoroastrianism's, Jusaism's, and Christianity's. Just as in Zoroastrianism and Christianity, Islam believes in a final salvation, a judgment day. Also it is said that like in all other religions, the main god of the religion is the only one who can lead you to salvation, and to a happy afterlife. And similarly, there is only one existing god in all of these religions, so all the monotheistic beliefs have that way to be similar to each other. All of these beliefs also preach of practicing good faith and good deeds by being good to others and other things. However, in Islam, it would seem that a follower would be more subjected to the will of Allah.
