               were corrupted over time and so moved away from their orig-
               inal nature: not ascribing partners to Allah (the greatest sin)
               and living solely to earn His good pleasure. As a matter of fact,
               there are many parts conforming to true religion and good
               morals in the Torah and the Gospel of our day.

                    The love and respect felt by both present-day Christians
               and Jews for the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) unites them in a
               common foundation with Muslims. Members of these three di-
               vinely revealed religions therefore share a common belief in
               Allah, which they have inherited from the Prophet Abraham
               (pbuh), and seek to serve Him. On the other hand, it is clear
               that the error of trinity held by some Christians is a deviant be-

               lief and a great sin, and this is revealed in the Qur'an. However,
               the Prophet Abraham's (pbuh)  pure natural belief is a common
               word between the Muslims and the People of the Book. Allah
               reveals in the Qur'an that Muslims have invited them to this
               common word:
                    Say: "O People of the Book [Christians and Jews], come to
                    a proposition that is the same for us and you—that we
                    should worship none but Allah, associate no partners with
                    Him, and take no one of us as lords besides Allah." If they
                    turn away, say: "Bear witness that we are Muslims." (Surah
                    Al 'Imran: 64)




                   The Prophet Abraham (pbuh) Spreads the Religion


                    Every prophet was charged with informing his tribe of
               Allah's commands and prohibitions. Our Prophet (may Allah
               bless him and grant him peace), the light of all the worlds, who
               called people to true religion within idolaters of Mecca, the
