Derivatives (katb)(ک ت ب) are among the most frequent words in the Qur'an, the Old Testament and the New Testament. This root is used in most branches of Semitic languages with the least difference in structure and meaning.The semantic domain of the (katb)(ک ت ب) has developed over time and in Arabic, in addition to preserving the original meaning, has taken on a new meaning that does not exist in any of the other branches of the Semitic language.The most important derivative of this root is the word "ketāb"(( کتاب in the common sense, which is common and widely used in Semitic languages and is a key word in sacred texts. This research with the historical-comparative-analytical method and the use of library resources first deals with genealogy and analysis of the roots of "katb"(ک ت ب) in the most important branches of the Semitic language and then examines the various functions of its derivatives in the Qur'an and the Bible and has identified the commonalities and differences. "katb"(ک ت ب) means "writing" is one of the main meanings of this root in all branches of the Semitic language, which is crystallized in the Qur'an and the Bible, and culminates in attributing writing to God with the focus on divine law in all three Abrahamic religions.Writing with Biblical evidence was developed first by engraving on stone, tablet, and wood, and then by writing in ink on scrolls and paper.

Abstract The Sexual behavior before marriage is one of the most important sexual behavior taken into consideration by different religions and school of thoughts. This article, using a descriptive-analytical research method, aimed at investigating the dos and don’ts of the sexual behavior in the holy Quran, the Old Testament, and the New Testament and discussing their different and similar viewpoints on the issue at hand. All these three books emphasized the chastity and continence, and also restraint from incontinence and sexual relationship before marriage. Also, all of them placed emphasis on avoiding homosexuality, masturbation, lechery, wearing make-up among alien girls and boys. The main differences among these books is that there is no clear ban on homosexuality and no mention of masturbation in the Old Testament; however, in the Jewish religious laws some agree and some other disagree with the women’s masturbation. In addition, sodomy, masturbation, and mosaheghe (women’s masturbation) were not mentioned at all, but they have been completely banned in the Quran, and some harsh punishments were considered for the wrongdoers in both this world and the hereafter.

To provide a true and accurate account of Islam from a Quranic perspective, this study aims to offer a comparative analysis of the pillars of Islam which comprises its principles of faith (monotheism, prophethood, and resurrection) as well as its morality and ethics and rules and regulations with the pillars of Judaism and Christianity. This study confirms the supremacy of Islam in its principles and pillars, as Islam is a moderate and logic-based religion compared with the other two which go to extremes. Monotheism, for example, and theism in general as offered by the Quran means unity of a God who is unique, indivisible and far from human characteristics; monotheism in Judaism, however, considers similitude for God and Christianity acknowledges trinity, a belief in multiplicity of Gods, which is not attributable to God.
