Not much to know really. Islam is the same line of Christianity and Jews, the same tribal God of Abraham. All of the books convey an attitude of loyalty to that God, all of them claim divine entitlement to land.
And again, it isn't because any of those Gods are real, but even in polytheism, humans mistook their local royalty, ruling family's success as being handed down to them by a divine super natural source.
And again, I don't say any of this claiming you can force any religion out of existence, I couldn't even if I wanted to. I am merely pointing out the context of how people lived back then and the holy books were each written for the times they lived in.
That is why words like "serve" "servant" "master" "submit" "loyalty" "lord" "kingdom" are all themes in all three. Because back then, you were rewarded when you defended the local royalty, and punished if you crossed that local royalty.
