You are to know that Islam is the religion that Allah has chosen for His slaves and sent down to all Messengers.
Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {Truly, the religion with Allâh is Islâm. ….} [3:19]. He also Says (interpretation of meaning): {And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. } [3:85].
Also, He has informed us that Islam - in its general meaning - is the religion of Noah, Ibrahim, Yaqoob, Yusuf, Moosa (Alaihim as-Salaam).
Surah 2: verse 128-133.
Surah 22: verse 78.
Surah 10: verse 72, 84.
Surah 12: verse 101.
Islam here means worshipping Allah Alone and belief in all Divine revelations to Messengers.
Then, Christians and Jews distorted the Divine revelations revealed on them and concealed the right that they knew. After that, they deviated from the religion of Islam (as explained above) and believed in trinity and paganism. Moreover, they spoke evil of Allah and His Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam), and Messengers as presented in their Bible. In addition, they disbelieved in the message of Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam). In spite of the above-mentioned deviation of the Christians and Jews, they still have similarities with Islam. Here is a brief explanation of such common ground:
1) Belief in the existence of the Creator of this world in contrast with atheists who believes only in nature.
2) Belief in the Day of Resurrection and punishment and reward. But, there is difference between Muslims on the one hand, and the Christians and Jews concerning the nature of the God who will resurrect and hold people responsible on the other hand. They also differ concerning the victors who will enter Paradise. Muslims believe that Allah, who begets not, nor was begotten, not Jesus the Christ, will hold people responsible for their deeds. We also believe that Muslims who believe in monotheism will be the victors; they are Muhammad's (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) followers as well as followers of the true religions of the previous Prophets even though they did not come with Muhammad's (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) Mission.
3) Belief in Allah's Messengers and Prophets, Divine Books, God's laws showing Halal and Haram.
As for points of difference between Islam and Christianity and Judaism, there are many differences. Here are some examples:
1) Belief in Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) and his Message.
2) Belief in the Qur'an as a revocatory of previous laws.
3) Belief in Allah, The One without a partner, children or a wife.
In addition, whoever describes Allah with any quality or attribute of incompleteness such as poverty, inability, regret or weeping is not a believer.
4) Belief in all Messengers and Prophets including Jesus (Alaihi as-Salaam) as well as respecting them as prophets and human beings without thinking of their divinity or speaking evil of them.
5) Other differences related to matters of Faith and detailed rulings of Sharia such as forms of worships (Salah, Sawm, Hajj …), marriage, divorce, slaughtering, etc.

Time will tell who REALLY distorted the divine revelations from the God of Noah,Abraham,Jacob,Joseph,Moses.
