Throughout the course of history, Allah has revealed the truth faith
through Hisprophets. All the prophets there have ever been havecalled
on people to believein the one Allah, to obey the and all the other
prophets, to believe in the angels, destiny and the Day of Reckoning,
to do good for Allah's approval and to possess good moralvalues. Allah
has from time to time ordained changes in the provisions of the
religions He has sent down, but essentially all the prophets have
called people to Islam and to be Muslims. Because thetrue faith in the
Sight of Allah is Islam:
The Deen with Allah is Islam.(Surah Al 'Imran, 19)
The Prophets Noah (pbuh),Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Jesus and all the
other prophets have called on the peoples to which they were sent to
adopt Allah's true religion to and revealed to them that they were
Muslims. In verses 67 and 68 of Surah Al 'Imran it is revealed that
the Prophet Abraham (puh) was a Muslim:
Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian. but aman of pure natural
belief – a Muslim. He wasnot one of the idolaters.
The people with the strongest claim to Abraham are those who followed
him and this Prophet and those who have iman. Allah is the Protector
of the believers. (Surat al-'Imran, 67-68)
This verse reveals how theProphet Jacob (pbuh) advised his sons to "be Muslims:"
Ibrahim directed his sons to this, as did Jacob: 'My sons! Allah has
chosen this deen for you, so do not die except as Muslims.' (Surat
al-Baqara, 132)
The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and his disciples also said they were Muslims:
When 'Isa sensed disbelief on their part, he said, 'Who will be my
helpers to Allah?' The disciples said, 'We are Allah's helpers. We
believe in Allah. Bear witness that we are Muslims. (Surah Al 'Imran,
52)
The Prophet Moses (pbuh) also called on his people to be Muslims:
Moses said, 'My people! if you believe in Allah, then put your trust
in Him, if you are Muslims.' (Surah Yunus, 84)
As we have seen, all prophets have called on their peoples to be
Muslims, in other words, to the true faith in the Sight of Allah. The
true books and law that Allah sent down to these prophets gradually
became distorted and departed from their original forms. But Allah has
promised to preserve the Qur'an uncorrupted and has revealed that
everyone should abide by the Qur'an, the last true book. Therefore, if
a Jew who genuinely loves the Prophet Musa (pbuh) wishes to live by
the religion brought by the prophet, that can only be possible by
living by the Qur'an. In the same way, ifa Christian who sincerely
follows the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) wishes to live by pure Christianity
as it was in the time of the disciples,then he must abide by
theQur'an. Because the truest,finest and purest form of what the
Prophet Moses (pbuh) and the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) taught appears in
the Qur'an. When Christians and Jews say they believe in the oneAllah,
"Lailaha illaAllah," and that the Prophet Muhammad (saas) is the last
true prophet,"Muhammadan Rasulullah," and abide by the Qur'an, then
they will be complete followers of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and the
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) they love so much. And by Allah's leave, this
will happen with the coming of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) in this
century and Islam, the onetrue faith, will rule the world under the
leadership of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).
