Islamic theology and Jewish Talmudic theology come from two different sources.

To understand Islam, one has to understand some history. More importantly, one needs to understand what Islam has done and how it is still conquering many areas of the world, through soft jihadism. Judaism is bent on conquering the world after it has established the greater state of Israel. Both Islam and Judaism claim theocratic government to be their goal, although unlike Muslims, Jews claim they are only seeking rule over greater Israel, as promised to Abraham—all the land between the Euphrates River and the Nile River.
Recitation of the Qur'an in the Arabic language exercises an influence on the mind of the Muslims that produces emotional elation, even when the text is not understood.—The Books Of Islam
In Surahs 5:116 and 5:75-76, the Roman Catholic influence—and Babylonian mother/child motif—is evidenced in the Koran with the Islamic Trinity (God The Father, Mary, Jesus). In Surahs 3:35-36 and 42-47, there is evidence that the pseudepigraphic work The Gospel of James was the source of the report that, as a girl, Mary lived in the Temple, receiving food from angels, and Joseph was chosen to be her husband by miraculous rods —The Books Of Islam
Contrasting Islam with Judaism is not the same as comparing the Bible with the Koran. Judaism is based upon the Talmud not the Tanakh, as stated in Wikipedia, “The Talmud is a central text of Rabbinic Judaism.” For Jews, who read only the Tanakh and meditate the words written therein, find themselves coming to the (Psalm 23) where they ponder the table that is set in the midst of their enemies, or the suffering servant of (Isaiah 53) or the need to be circumcised of heart (Deuteronomy 10:16, Deuteronomy 30:6). Jews, who genuinely desire the truth of the Tanakh, find themselves recognizing the Messiah, such as Henry Makow and Milton Kapner.
In Judaism there are similarities to Islam in that both belief systems claim that a Creator exists and both are looking for the coming of a Messiah, when a worldwide government will be established. Moreover, the Islamic belief of taqiyya which permits Muslims to be deceptive and use falsehoods is also paralleled in the Jew’s concept of release from all vows entered into and falsehoods purposely told, as stated in the Kol Nidre prayer:
"All vows obligations, oaths, and anathemas, whether called 'ḳonam,' 'ḳonas,' or by any other name, which we may vow, or swear, or pledge, or whereby we may be bound, from this Day of Atonement until the next (whose happy coming we await), we do repent. May they be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled, and void, and made of no effect; they shall not bind us nor have power over us. The vows shall not be reckoned vows; the obligations shall not be obligatory; nor the oaths be oaths." KOL NIDRE - JewishEncyclopedia.com
The Virtual Jewish Library a project of the American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprisehighlights the Islamic views of Jews being the Descendants of Apes, Pigs, And Other Animals
The divine punishment of Jews is mentioned in three Koranic verses: "... They are those whom Allah has cast aside and on whom His wrath has fallen and of whom He has made some as apes and swine..." (5:60); "...You have surely known the end of those from amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath, in consequence of which we condemned them: Be ye like apes, despised" (2:65);[13] and "when, instead of amending, they became more persistent in the pursuit of that which they were forbidden, we condemned them: Be ye as apes, despised" (7:166).
From what Muhammad wrote, to suggest that Islamic theology complements Judaism, not only would Jews find this idea insulting, so would Muslims.
The New Testament implies that both Islam and present day Judaism are anti-Christ (1 John 4:2; 1 John 2:22-23) and their origins are not of God. In this way, the two belief systems may be said to complement each other, as they both oppose the gospel message delivered by the Apostles of Lord Jesus Christ.
