God Almighty has created various beings in the universe and
have granted human beings a special place among them as the superior. Human
beings have series of abilities that other creatures don’t process like
intelligence, wisdom, mastering, comprehension etc. these abilities have their
advantages and disadvantages (Positive and Negative). If the positive side is
used, they bring a sound order, fortune and abundance to humanity likewise, if
the negative side is used, they bring about unexpected evil consequence. In
other to direct these abilities to the right direction we need another power.
This power is a true Religion and every fact has proved that Man was created to
know his Creator and worship Him.
Quran 51:56
"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to
worship Me."
Exodus 20:2-3
2 “I am the Lord your
God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
Matthew 4:10
10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me,
Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’
Islam acknowledges all the Prophets and believing in them is
one of the requirements of being a Muslim. There is continuation between
prophets. Prophets usually acknowledge the previous prophets and announce the
coming of the following prophets. Therefore accepting the prophet hood is His Excellency
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) also accepts all the previous prophets.
Therefore I direct to you same words that Hatib bin Ebi
Beltaa (Allah be pleased with him) said to the Governor of Egypt (Muqawqis)
when he brought the letter of the Prophet (SAW) to him.
“We invite you to Islam, the religion that Allah
chose for man. Muhammad Mustafa (SAW) is not inviting only you but all
humanity. Christians were the ones among who act more friendly. As His
Excellency Moses announced the good news of the coming of He Jesus, He Jesus in
turn announced the coming of His Excellency Muhammad. Our invitation to you to
the Quran is like your invitation to the people of Torah to the Bible. Each
Person is obligated to be subject to the prophet of his time. You are among
those who reached Prophet Muhammad’s era, therefore, by inviting you to Islam,
we are not diverging you the religion of He Jesus. On the contrary, we are
inviting you to act according to His Prophecy.”
A Muslim Convert also after stressing how his old religion
(Christianity) had been like a transition stage for being a Muslim, explains
how Islam is an all-encompassing religion that covers the goals of
Christianity:
“The role of Islam is to transform not only a specific group of people
to people of value in the eyes of Allah, but all humanity”
…Prop. Timothy Gianotti (Toronto’s York University)
…Prop. Timothy Gianotti (Toronto’s York University)
A hadith states that all Prophets are all siblings: Our master
the Messenger of Allah (SAW) has said:
“I am to Son of Mariam the closest among human beings. Prophets are Brothers
whose fathers are one and whose mothers are different. There is no prophet
between me and him.”
(Bukhari, Anbiya, 48; Muslim, Fedail, 145)
(Bukhari, Anbiya, 48; Muslim, Fedail, 145)
This shows that all true religion have the same principles,
true religion stayed the same from the first prophet to the last one in terms
of the fundamentals of belief and the main moral values.
On a final note, Islam is a Devine Religion sent by Almighty
Allah (SWT) through the Holy Prophet (SAW) to all mankind, be it you a Jewish,
Arab, African, European, Asia and anywhere in the world; old or young; man or
woman; Islam is for all and it’s the only religion that will be accepted in the
present of Allah on the day of Judgement
