Which religions recount the Ten Commandments as fundamental laws?

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

Answer: (C)

The Ten Commandments are a specific list of moral laws that originate in the Hebrew Bible and are treated as foundational in both Judaism and Christianity. In Judaism, they appear as God’s laws given to Moses on Mount Sinai and are central to the covenant laws found in the Torah. In Christianity, these commandments are carried into the Old Testament and form enduring moral guidelines that Jesus and Christian teachers reference and uphold as part of living a faithful life. Islam recognizes many similar prohibitions and ethical rules, but it does not present the Ten Commandments as a single, explicit list like Judaism and Christianity do. Hinduism and Buddhism have their own distinct ethical teachings and do not recount the Ten Commandments as a universal set of laws. So, Judaism and Christianity are the religions that recount the Ten Commandments as fundamental laws.
