Most Muslims can not recite the entire Quran, if that is what you mean. People who can are very special, such a Muslim is called a "Hafiz" (Arabic for "safekeeper" or someone who preserves something). Any truly devout Muslim will know by heart lengthy parts of the Quran, to be sure. The devout pray a great deal, every day, and as far as I recall, the prayers are all excerpts from the Quran, or variations thereof. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are, of course, interconnected ... the "Abrahamic" religions. There is, for example, a "Surah" (chapter) of the Quran titled Maryam (Arabic for Mary, mother of Jesus). Mary is venerated highly in Islam, as is Jesus (Isa) who Muslims consider a great prophet but not their savior (obviously).
