The Deen with Allah IsIslam

Throughout the course of history, Allah has revealed the truth faith
through His prophets. Allthe prophets there have ever been have called
onpeople to believe in 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 moral values.
Allah has from time to time ordained changes in the provisions of the
religions He has sent down, but essentially all the prophets have
calledpeople to Islam and to be Muslims. Because the true 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 and68 of Surah Al 'Imran it isrevealed that the
Prophet Abraham (puh) was a Muslim:
Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian. but a man 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 the Prophet 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 exceptas 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! ifyou 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 Allahsent 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 Jewwho 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, if a 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 the Qur'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 one Allah, "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 comingof the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) in this century and Islam,
the one true faith, will rule the world under the leadership of the
Prophet Jesus (pbuh)and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).
