I usually asked by Muslims what Judaism say about Non-Jews?
Can a Non-Jew(Gentile) be a Righteous And Go Heaven in the afterlife?
Jews Believe that Non-Jews have to practice 7 laws in Order to be consider as Righteous:
1.Prohibition of Idolatry: There is only one God. You shall not make for yourself an idol.
2.Prohibition of Murder: You shall not murder.
3
.Prohibition of Theft: You shall not steal.4
.Prohibition of Sexual Promiscuity: You shall not commit adultery.5
.Prohibition of Blasphemy: Revere God and do not blaspheme.6
.Prohibition of Cruelty to Animals: Do not eat flesh taken from an animal while it is still alive.7
.Requirement to have just Laws: You shall set up an effective judiciary to fairly judge observance of the preceding six laws.Those 7 laws are called the Seven Laws of Noah
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Laws_of_Noah )Those 7 laws can be found in Quran:
A possible connection between the Qur'an 17:22-36 and Noahide law might be:
1.Qur'an 17:22 — Prohibition of Idolatry #1
2.Qur'an 17:23 — Prohibition of Blasphemy #2
3.Qur'an 17:32 — Prohibition of Sexual Immorality #4
4.Qur'an 17:33 — Prohibition of Homicide #3
5.Qur'an 17:34 — Prohibition of Theft #5
6.Qur'an 17:35 — Imperative of Legal System #7
7.Qur'an 17:36 — Prohibition of Limb of a Living Creature #6??? (although the last is specifically mentioned by the Qur'an 2:173; 5:3)
(http://wikinoah.org/index.php/Noahide_Law_in_the_Qur%27an)
Whats the difference between these 7 laws and the 10 commandments?
The 7 laws are for all man kind from time of Noah,the 10 commandments are part of 613 laws for Israel nation,from Moses time.
In my opinion those 7 laws of Noah can be the bridge Between Judaism & Islam!
