What belief system was the basis for both christianity and islam?

Judaism

Explanation:

Judaism believe in one God who will reveal His true Form and bring final judgement.  Both Christianity and Islam believe in the same prophecy, but they have a differing opinion on who that one God is. Beside that difference, both Muslim and Christian teaching has a lot of similarities (especially with the old testament of the Bible).
