A Comparative Study of Holy Places and Times in the Quran and the Bible

One of the most important features of religion is dividing existence into holy and non-holy. Abrahamic religions, namely, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are no exception to this, and emphasize the two holy and non-holy concepts. Contrary to mythological religions, in these religions the discovery of sanctities is based on divine texts and scriptures (the Testaments and the Holy Quran). Referring to the traditional scriptures of these three religions, i.e. the Qur’an, the New Testament and the Old Testament, this research has extracted the holy places and times. According to the findings of this research, considering the centrality of the belief in God and the claim of monotheism in all three religions, the secret of the sanctity of these places and times is regarded to be the manifestation of God in them (Jehovah, the three hypostases of the Trinity and Allah).
