             word, means ‘submission’. Islam is not a religion that started with
             the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh); all the prophets since the Prophet
             Adam (pbuh) communicated the religion of Islam. In other words,
             Islam started with the Prophet Adam (pbuh). As explained in the
             verse, the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), too, was a Muslim:

                 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but a man of pure

                 natural belief – a Muslim. He was not one of the idolaters.
                 (Qur'an, 3:67)
                 All Divine religions are Abrahamic religions. These religions
             since the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) are named as Islam. In other
             words, the religion lived at the time of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and
             the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was the religion of the Prophet Abraham

             (pbuh).

                 The tenets of Divine religions have always remained the same.
             This is because it has always been the one and the same religion,
             although different sharia and practices were sent through different
             prophets in time. God states in a verse how He sent different sharia
             to societies:

                 … We have appointed a law and a practice for every one of you.
                 Had God willed, He would have made you a single

                 community, but He wanted to test you regarding
                 what has come to you. (Qur'an, 5:48)
                 Even if the sharias change, the true religion of the
             Prophet Abraham (pbuh) is always based on the same
             tenets. These tenets have never changed
             since the Prophet Adam (pbuh), and

             they are the same in the Qur'an, and
             in the original versions of the Gospel
             and the Torah.
