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.
