Which religions recount the Ten Commandments as central laws?

• A. Islam and Hinduism
• B. Christianity and Islam
• C. Judaism and Christianity
• D. Hinduism and Buddhism

Answer: (C)

The Ten Commandments are a foundational set of moral and religious laws that appear in the Hebrew Bible and are central to Jewish practice and Christian ethics. In Judaism, they come as God’s direct guidance given to the people at Mount Sinai and help shape daily life, worship, and how Jews relate to God and others. In Christianity, these commandments are presented as essential moral principles that guide believers, with Jesus highlighting love for God and neighbor as the heart of how to live out the commandments. Islam also has many important commandments in the Qur’an, but the specific list of Ten Commandments is not a central feature in the same way. Hinduism and Buddhism teach other major ethical frameworks, such as the Yamas and Niyamas or the Noble Eightfold Path, rather than a Ten Commandments list. So, the religions that recount the Ten Commandments as central laws are Judaism and Christianity.
