Those who believe, and do not pollute their belief with idol worship, have deserved the perfect security, and they are truly guided. Such was our argument, with which we supported Abraham against his people. We exalt whomever we will to higher ranks. Your Lord is Most Wise, Omniscient. And we granted him Isaac and Jacob, and we guided both of them. Similarly, we guided Noah before that, and from his descendants (we guided) David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, and Aaron. We thus reward the righteous. Also, Zachariah, John, Jesus, and Elias; all were righteous. And Ismail, Elisha, Jonah, and Lot; each of these we distinguished over all the people. (Quran 6:82-86)
While this is not all of the prophets mentioned in the Quran - this sura does not, for example, mention Mohammed - it does suggest the continuity of the Abrahamic faiths.
The two listed here that we do not know from Hebrew scripture are John and Jesus. And the Zechariah listed is almost certainly the father of John, not the Hebrew prophet of the Babylonian exile.
Despite (or because) of having so much in common, we squabble and worse over our shared heritage and destiny.
The sixth sura is mostly about distinguishing between false faith, especially idol-worship, and true faith in God.
Speaking of the prophets and principles shared by Jews, Christians, and Muslims we are told, "These are the ones guided by GOD; you shall be guided in their footsteps." (6:90)
Dear God help us celebrate what we share, rather than be preoccupied by what separates.
