Mormons believe that a biblical angel revealed prophecies indirectly to Joseph Smith, who wrote it down in the book of Mormon.
Muslims believe that the biblical angel Gabriel revealed prophecies to Muhammad, who wrote it down in the Quran.
Smith stole from any source he could find. Most of the Mormon temple rituals are based on Masonic Temple rituals from around the same time period. John Smith was a member of a Masonic Lodge and assumed no one would notice or tell their new congregation that they used to do the same thing with their drinking buddies back East.
Not to defend Joseph Smith, but so did the entire Christian religion. All the big stories in the Bible were lifted from the religious myths of older civilizations.
Yes, 2000 years ago Christian writers borrowed heavily from the other religions and mystery cults they were living and working with.
Smith’s copypasta use of Masonic Rituals from New York as “passed down by God” in the 1830s is a -little- different.
Not a lot different though.

Christians believe that the angel gabriel announced to Mary she was preggers with Jesus

And Jews believe god told Moses his 10 commandments
Do Muslims have spirit prison and a bunch of secret masonic handshakes?
So are Christians, they believed that God in the form of Jesus came down and revealed the New Testament to the 12 Disciples and wrote it in the Bible.
Those of the Jewish faith are still waiting for the savior to show up because they don’t believe Jesus was the one.
They are both Abrahamic faiths, but other than that its surface level connection
I think the main difference here is that Mormons dont teach that everyone not mormon is an infidel who must die.
Maybe they should join forces
I would genuinely love to see them try! Lol
