Islam teaches that ALLAH sent prophets throughout history with one message. This section compares beliefs respectfully — using evidence, primary sources, and clear separation between revelation and interpretation.
“Say: O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is just between us and you — that we worship none but ALLAH, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides ALLAH.”
Quran 3:64
The Quran calls the People of the Book — Jews and Christians — to the shared foundation of worshiping ALLAH alone. This section begins from that common ground, then explains differences clearly. Respect does not mean hiding differences. Honesty does not require harshness. Both are possible together.
Islam does not present itself as a new message disconnected from earlier prophets. The Quran teaches that ALLAH sent a messenger to every nation with the same call: worship ALLAH alone and avoid false worship (Quran 16:36).
Muslims believe in Adam, Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), Dawud (David), Isa (Jesus), and Muhammad ﷺ (Peace Be Upon Them All) — and in all the other prophets ALLAH sent. The Quran states that Muslims make no distinction between the prophets (Quran 2:136, 3:84).
Muhammad ﷺ (Peace Be Upon Him) is the final Messenger — the seal of the prophets — and the Quran is the final preserved revelation (Quran 33:40).
