THE RELIGION OF MANKIND 2

     ISLAM-THE ONLY RELIGION OF MANKIND 2

Outline

3. All prophets were Muslims.

All prophets were Muslims.

All the prophets viz. Adam Nuh, Ibrahim, Ismail, Ishaq,Yaqub, Yusuf, David, Sulaiman, Yahya, Idris, Iliyas, Yunus, Musa, Isa,etc and Muhammad S.a.w were the followers of the religion of Islam and were Muslims.

Allah establishes here and there in His Book....the Quran....That all the prophets who have been mentioned and those who have not been mentioned there were followers of Islam, and were Muslims. Ibrahim A.s whom the Jews and the Christians wrongfully call as Jew or a Christian was also a staunch Muslim and followed Islam and followed Islam.
This fact has been clarified by Allah in the Quran 3:67-68 which reads thus: Ibrahim was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was an upright Muslim, and nor was he of the Mushiks (associators).
The nearest of mankind to Ibrahim ( i.e. the religion of Ibrahim) are those people who followed his religion and this Prophet (Muhammad) and that mankind (i.e., Muslims) who bring Faith in this Prophet, and Allah is the helper of the Muslims.

The Muslims are the bes nation in the world. This fact has been testified by Allah in the Quran 3:110 which reads thus:
"You are the best people raised for the Good of mankind; you enjoin what is good and forbid evil and believe in Allah."

There has all along been, since Adam A.s only one true religion Islam. And this has all along been stated in the Revelations of Allah that Islam is the same law of Allah which has all along been revealed to the mankind. Mankind has been straying from the Right Path, off and on.

The teaching of all the prophets from Adam to Muhammad S.a.w was only one the code of conduct for the whole mankind was only one the Message was only one, and even the Book which has been revealed in more or less 104 revelations was only one, though revealed in different languages, through different prophets and at differrent times. Allah establishes that fact in the Quran in 2:213

"Originally, the whole mankind was a single Ummah (nation of Islam) Allah raised Prophets as bearers of glad tiding and warners, and He sent with them the Books with truth that. He may judge between mankind in that wherein they diffred and nobody differed therein after witnessing and testifying that which had come to them except those who differed with obstinate disobedience."

Allah stresses here and there in the Quran that the path of Islam is the only right path, and that no other religion except Islam is acceptable to Him.

In Quran 3:19 Allah says: "Surely the Deen (religion) with Allah is only Islam."
Again in 3:85 He says: Whoever will seek a religion other than Islam it shall never be accepted of him, and he shall be of the losers in the hereafter."

The present age of Islam as Contained in the Quran and the hadith is not a new religion but it is the same original Islam which was revealed to All Prophets.
The Quran Points out towards that fact in 87:18 and 6:92 thus: " And this (Quran) is in the Scriptures of the earliest Revelations, the Scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa" and " This is the Book (Quran) which We have revealed bringing blessings and confirming all which has been revealed prior to it."
