Invitation to The Religion of All The Prophets

Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him presented the previous prophets to his people in a very honorable manner and considered them as his brothers. The Prophet said that, among the people, I am the one who have the best claim to Jesus (pbuh) and all the prophets are brothers Li Allat. (The brothers who have one father and different mothers) We have different mothers and our religion is one. This hadhis is agreed upon. Some scholars explain the above, that all the prophets have one religion but have different legislation.

 

Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him called his people and the whole mankind to the same message of the prophets before him. These prophets lived in various eras and places, yet they have the same message i.e. calling their people to worship one God. This implies that each one of them was truthful and honest in his call. The only difference between them was in the legislation and obligations enjoined upon their people.

 

Following are some verses for Sura Al-Araf Chapter 7.

 

Indeed, We sent (Noah) to his people and he said O my people! Worship Allah. You have no other Ilah (God) but Him. (La Ilaha Ill-Allah; none has the right to be worshipped but Allah). Certainly, I fear for you the torment of a Great Day.

 

[Qur'an 7:59]

 

And to Ad (people, We sent) their brother Hud. He said, O my people! Worship Allah. You have no other Ilah (God) but Him. (La Ilaha Ill-Allah; none has the right to be worshipped but Allah). Will you not fear (Allah)?

 

-[Qur'an 7:65]-

 

And to Thamud (people, We sent) their brother Peace Be Upon Himih (Peace Be Upon Himeh). He said, O my people! Worship Allah. You have no other Ilah (God) but Him. (La Ilaha Ill-Allah; none has the right to be worshipped but Allah).

 

-[Qur'an 7:73]-

 

And to (the people of) Madhyan (Midian), We sent their brother Shuaib. He said, O my people! Worship A. You have no other Ilah (God) but Him. (La Ilaha Ill-Allah; none has the right to be worshipped but Allah).

 

-[Qur'an 7:85]-

 

He (Moses) said, Shall I seek for you an Ilahan (a god) other than Allah, while He has given you superiority over the Alamin (Mankind and jinns of your time).

 

-[Qur'an 7:59]-

 

Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write (i.e. Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him) whom they find written with them in the Taurat (Torah Deut xvii, 15) and the Injeel (Gospel John xiv, 16). He commands them for Al-Maruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbids them from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism of all kinds, and all that has been forbidden). He allows them as lawful At-Taiyibat (i.e. all good and lawful) as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods, etc.,) and prohibits them as unlawful Al-Kabaith (i.e. all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods etc.). He releases them from the fetters (bindings) that were upon them. So those who believe in him (Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him) honor him, help him, and follow the light (the Quran) which has been sent down with him, it is they who will be successful.

 

-[Qur'an 7:157]-

 

Say (O Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him) O Mankind! Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, La Ilaha Ilah Huwa; (none has the right to be worshipped but He). It is He, Who gives life and causes death. So believe in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him), the Prophet who can neither read nor write (i.e. Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him) who believes in Allah and His Words (the Quran), the Taurat (Torah) and Injeel (Gospel) and also Allahs Word: Be and he was Isa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), and follow him so that you cam be guided.
