The way I understand it is that they both believe in the God of Abraham.
Jews and Islams do not equate Abraham to God but share in belief that sees him as the bedrock of their faith. Jews believe the rightful heirs of the inheritance God provided Abraham follows the lineage of Isaac.
Islams on the other hand believe the lineage is through Abraham's son Ishmael.

As far as the Bible is concerned, I find it interesting reading although after already reading a couple of times, I now skip over the parts of instructions given for the making of the tabernacle, altar, lamps and other material items along with the clothing for Aaron and his sons.
I've heard that when indoor plumbing first came about a controversy for churches arose as the Old Testament instructed that such business should be done far away from camp.
My favorite part of the Bible is reading the Gospel and then the remainder of the New Testament.
Of the Old Testament, I find the history within Joshua through Esther most enjoyable followed by the books of the major prophets, Isaiah through Daniel.
My interpretation comes down to giving thanks to God, help those in need, and it's my place to be humble and not judgmental.
