Keep it positive and speak in universal terms. As in, values that are part of Islam and the Judaeo-Christian tradition (to cover all your bases). There are plenty of them, so you should be fine. (This goes for any college essay on religion, actually. Writing an essay on how awesome Protestantism is because it has x, which Catholicism lacks, and how it’s helped you grow as a person in a way members of other religions could never experience, is not something I’d recommend doing.) Introducing new vocabulary and giving background info should be ok.
