             Prophet Moses (as), Allah sent many other prophets to the Chil-
             dren of Israel to warn them and the last of these prophets was
             the Prophet Jesus (as).
                 Throughout his life, the Prophet Jesus (as) called his people
             to live by the religion (deen) revealed by Allah and reminded
             them to be true slaves of Allah. He instructed them in the com-
             mandments of the Injil – the revelation granted to him, frag-
             ments of which may survive in parts of the Gospels. The Injil
             affirmed the commandments of the Tawrah – the revelation
             granted to the Prophet Moses (as), some of which remains in the
             Tawrah and in the Old Testament – which had by then been cor-
             rupted. Criticising the improper teachings of the rabbis who
             were responsible for the degeneration of the true religion (deen),
             the Prophet Jesus (as) abolished the false rules that were invent-
             ed by some rabbis themselves and through which they derived
             personal gain. He summoned the Children of Israel to the unity
             of Allah, to truthfulness, and to virtuous conduct. The Qur'an
             tells us:

                 I come confirming the Tawrah I find already there, and
                 to make lawful for you some of what was previously
                 forbidden to you. I have brought you a sign from your
                 Lord. So have fear of Allah and obey me. (Surah Al 'Im-
                 ran: 50)
                 However, after the Prophet Jesus (as) left the earth, some of
             his later followers started to corrupt the revelation. Under the
             influence of some pagan ideas from the Greeks, they developed
             a perverted belief in the 'Trinity' (the Father, the Son and the
             Holy Ghost) (Surely Allah is beyond that). Under the name of
             Christianity, they adhered to a totally different religion.
             Although the Christianity of today contains some beliefs and
