Judaism and Islam have all of the following characteristics in common except which of the following?

• A. They are monotheistic
• B. They have prophets
• C. They have no schools that teach religion to their followers
• D. They have religious law codes

Answer: (C)

Both Judaism and Islam emphasize belief in one God, recognize a line of prophets who convey divine guidance, and operate with formal systems of religious law that guide practice (Halakha in Judaism and Sharia in Islam). They also maintain organized ways to teach religion to followers, through institutions like yeshivas and rabbinic academies in Judaism, and madrasas or mosque-based education in Islam, along with other religious instruction within communities. The statement that there are no schools to teach religion is not accurate for either tradition, making it the one that doesn’t fit.
