Is it true that the age of the Jewish nation equals the age of the Islamic nation and the age of the Christian nation?
There is no evidence for the claim that the age of the Ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him) corresponds to the ages of the Ummahs of Musa and Isa (peace be upon them). Rather, it is well-known that there were 1700 years between Musa and Isa, and 600 years between Isa and Muhammad. The hadith of Ibn Umar indicates a difference in the ages of the nations, as the Ummah of Muhammad works from Asr prayer until Maghrib for two qirats, while the Jews worked until midday for one qirat, and the Christians until Asr for one qirat.
