Islam and Buddhism share many things in common ZenBuddhism and Sufism: an interreligious encounter by M. Massoudi is an excellent article that sheds light on how the theology of Zen and Sufism (a branch of Islam) are similar in their setup

Answer 4

In terms of how we are to treat each other, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Christianity (the 3 Abrahamic religions) are very similar. People are to be treated kindly and with respect, the poor are to be helped. In regards to punishment for crimes or trespasses, they are quite different. Buddhism believes in total non-violence, even for criminals.

In terms of religuos pratice and beliefs, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Christianity are completely different. While the 3 Abrahamic religions believe in a single god that reigns over the realms of Earth, Heaven and Hell, Buddhists do not beleive in any eternal god or eternal afterlife. We believe that there are different realms a person can attain, some good, some not so good in reaction to their actions (karma). Persons will not spend eternity in these realms but will be reborn into a realm fitting their karma (actions).

Answer 6

The beliefs are quite different. Muslims believe in Allah (God in English, same God in Christianity and Judaism) as the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no companion, and no associate. Buddhists neither confirm nor deny the existence of God, and believe in reincarnation.
