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)

Knowing which religions treat the Ten Commandments as a fundamental set of laws helps you see how moral guidance is framed in different traditions. In Judaism, the Ten Commandments are given to Moses on Mount Sinai and appear in the Torah, forming a central part of Jewish law and ethical life. They’re seen as a core covenant instruction that shapes daily conduct, worship, and community life.

In Christianity, the Ten Commandments are likewise a foundational moral framework. They’re affirmed and taught throughout the New Testament, and Christians view them as guiding principles for love of God and neighbor, often summarized in Jesus’ teaching to love God and others.

Islam has a rich, comprehensive moral code in the Quran and traditions, but the Ten Commandments as a distinct, standalone list aren’t regarded in the same way. Hinduism and Buddhism offer extensive ethical teachings as well, but not a fixed ten-commandment collection considered foundational in the same sense.

So the two religions that recount the Ten Commandments as fundamental laws are Judaism and Christianity.
