BELIEF IN ALL DIVINE
REVELATIONS
“ SAY: “ WE BELIEVE IN ALLAH, AND THE
REVEALTION GIVEN TO US, AND TO
IBRAHIM, ISMA’IL, ISHAQ, YACOUB AND THE
TRIBES, AND THAT GIVEN TO MUS AND
EISA, AND THAT GIVEN TO ALL PROPHETS
FROM THEIR LORD. WE MAKE NO
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE AND ANOTHER
OF THEM AND WE SUBMIT TO ALLAH”
AL-BAQARA 2 : 136
THE TORAH, THE BIBLE AND
THE QUR’AN CAME FROM
ALLAH
“ ALLAH IS HE WHO SENT DOWN TO YOU
IN TRUTH THE BOOK, CONFIRMING
WHAT WENT BEFORE IT, AND HE HAS
SENT DOWN THE TORAH AND THE
INJEEL ( GOSPEL ) “
AL-IMRAN 3 : 2
THE TORAH IS A DIVINE
REVELATION FROM ALLAH
“ WE REVEALED THE TORAH ( TO MOSES ) :
THEREIN WAS GUIDANCE AND LIGHT> BY
ITS STANDARD HAVE BEEN JUDGED THE
JEWS, BY THE PROPHETS WHO BOWED TO
ALLAH’S WILL, BY THE RABBIS AND THE
SCHOLARS; FOR TO THEM WAS
ENTRUSTED THE PROTECTION OF ALLAH’S
BOOK, AND THEY WERE WITNESSES
THERETO”
AL-MAEDA 5 : 44
EISA ( JESUS ) WAS GIVEN THE
INJEEL ( BIBLE )
“ AND IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS WE SENT
JESUS THE SON OF MARY,
CONFIRMING THE TORAH THAT HAD
COME BEFORE HIM. WE SENT HIM
THE INJEEL ( GOSPEL): THEREIN WAS
GUIDANCE AND LIGHT “
AL-MAEDA 5 : 46
THE QUR’AN GUARDS THE
TORAH & THE INJEEL
“ TO YOU WE SENT THE BOOK IN TRUTH
CONFIRMING THE SCRIPTURE THAT
CAME BEFORE IT, AND GUARDING IT
IN SAFETY, SO JUDGE BETWEEN
THEM BY WHAT ALLAH HAS
REVEALED, AND FOLLOW NOT THEIR
VAIN DESIRES.. “
AL-MAEDA 5 : 48
THE QUR’AN IS ALLAH’S LAST
DIVINE REVELATION
“ THIS DAY HAVE I PERFECTED YOUR
RELIGION FOR YOU, COMPLETED MY
FAVORS UPON YOU, AND HAVE
CHOSEN FOR YOU ISLAM AS YOUR
RELIGION”
AL-MAEDA 5 : 3
PROPHET MUHAMMAD ( PBUH )
IS ALLAH’S LAST MESSENGER
“ MUHAMMAD IS NOT THE FATHER OF
ANY OF YOUR MEN, BUT HE IS THE
MESSENGER OF ALLAH AND THE SEAL
OF THE PROPHETS, AND ALLAH HAS
FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THINGS”
AL-AHZAB 33 : 40
RELIGION TO ALLAH IS ONLY
ONE RELIGION: ISLAM
ALL PROPHETS WERE MUSLIMS, AND THEIR
MESSAGE IS ONE: WORSHIP AND SERVE
ALLAH:
“ THE RELIGION BEFORE ALLAH IS ISLAM (
SUBMISSION TO HIS WILL )
AL-IMRAN 3 : 19
“ IF ANYONE DESIRES A RELIGION OTHER
THAN ISLAM NEVER WILL IT BE ACCEPTED
OF HIM, AND IN THE HEREAFTER HE IS A
LOOSER “
AL-IMRAN 3 : 85
RELIGION TO ALLAH IS ONE
RELIGION : ISLAM
ALL PROPHETS CALLED ON THEIR PEOPLE TO
WORSHIP AND SERVE ONLY ONE GOD:
“ NOT A MESSENGER DID WE SEND BEFORE
YOU WITHOUT THIS INSPIRATION SENT BY
US TO HIM: “ THAT THERE IS NO God BUT I,
THEREFORE WORSHIP AND SERVE ME “
AL-ANBIA’A 21 : 25
WHAT DID ALL THE PROPHETS
TEACH AND AGREE UPON
1- THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD: WORSHIP
AND SERVE HIM
2- YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO ALLAH
3- THERE IS A DAY OF RESURRECTION
AND JUDGMENT
4- THE GOOD WILL BE REWARDED, THE
SINNERS WILL BE PUNISHED
5- FOLLOW ALLAH’S ORDERS FOR HE IS
JUST
ALL PROPHETS WERE MUSLIMS
IBRAHIM
“ IBRAHIM WAS NOT A JEW NOR A CHRISTIAN,
BUT HE WAS UPRIGHT MUSLIM AND HE
JOINED NOT OTHERS WITH ALLAH”
AL-IMRAN 3 : 67
MUSA
“ MUSA SAID: O MY PEOPLE IF YOU TRULY
BELIEVE IN ALLAH, THEN PUT YOUR TRUST
IN HIM AND SUBMIT TO HIM IN ISLAM”
YUNUS 10 : 84
ALL PROPHETS WERE MUSLIMS
NUH
“ BUT IF YOU TURN AWAY CONSIDER THAT I
ASKED YOU FOR NO REWARD; MY REWARD
IS ONLY FROM ALLAH AND I HAVE BEEN
COMMANDED TO BE A MUSLIM “
YUNUS 10 : 72
ALL PROPHETS WERE MUSLIMS
EISA ( JESUS )
“ WHEN EISA FOUND UNBELIEF ON THEIR
PART, HE SAID: “ WHO ARE MY HELPERS TO
ALLAH? “ THE DISCIPLES SAID: “ WE ARE
ALLAH’S HELPERS, WE BELIEVE IN ALLAH
AND DO BEAR WITNESS THAT WE ARE
MUSLIMS “
AL-IMRAN 3 : 52
ALL PROPHETS WERE MUSLIMS
“ IBRAHIM AND JACOB ENJOINED ON THEIR SONS: “ O
MY SONS, ALLAH HAS CHOSEN THE FAITH FOR
YOU, DIE THEN NOT EXCEPT IN A STATE OF ISLAM.
WERE YOU WITNESSES WHEN DEATH APPEARED
BEFORE JACOB? HE SAID TO HIS SONS: WHAT WILL
YOU WORSHIP AFTER ME? “ THEY SAID: “ WE
SHALL WORSHIP YOUR GOD AND THE GOD OF
YOUR FATHERS, OF IBRAHIM, ISMA’IL AND ISAAC,
THE ONE TRUE GOD, TO HIM WE SUMBIT IN ISLAM”
AL-BAQARA 2 : 132 & 133
THE FOLLOWERS OF THE
MESSENGERS WERE MUSLIMS
“ THOSE TO WHOM WE SENT THE BOOK
BEFORE THIS, THEY DO BELIEVE IN
THIS REVELATION. WHEN IT IS
RECITED TO THEM, THEY SAY: “ WE
BELIEVE THEREIN, FOR IT IS THE
TRUTH FROM OUR LORD. INDEED WE
HAVE BEEN MUSLIMS FROM BEFORE
THIS “
AL-QASAS 29 : 52 & 53
THOUGH BELIEF IS SIMILAR,
YET THE SHARI’A IS DIFFERENT
SHARI’A ARE THE RULES THAT ALLAH
ORDERED US TO FOLLOW; THE SHARI’A OF
MUSA IS DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF
MUHAMMAD ( PBUH )
“ TO EACH AMONG YOU WE HAVE
PRESCRIBED A LAW AND AN OPEN WAY” ALMAEDA 5 : 48
“ THEN WE PUT YOU ON THE RIGHT WAY OF
RELIGION, SO FOLLOW IT”
AL-JATHEYA 45 : 18
THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN THE
QUR’AN AND PREVIOUS BOOKS
1- ALLAH PROMISED TO SAFEGUARD
THE QUR’AN, THEREFORE NO
ALTERATIONS OCCURRED IN IT
2- THE MESSAGE OF THE QUR’AN IS
UNIVERSAL TO ALL MANKIND
3- THE RULINGS IN THE QUR’AN ARE
BINDING TILL THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
SINCE IT IS THE LAST DIVINE
REVELATION
THE QUR’AN IS FOR ALL
MANKIND
SINCE PROPHET MUHAMMAD ( PBUH )
WAS SENT TO ALL MANKIND:
“ WE SENT YOU AS A MESSENGER TO ALL
MANKIND, GIVING THEM GLAD TIDINGS AND
WARNING THEM AGAINST SIN”
SABA’A 34 : 28
“ SAY: O PEOPLE I AM SENT TO YOU ALL AS
THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH.. “
AL-ARA’F 7 : 158
ALLAH PROMISED TO
SAFEGUARD THE QUR’AN
“ WE HAVE SENT DOWN THIS QUR’AN
AND WE WILL SURELY GUARD IT “
AL-HIJR 15 : 9
ALLAH ENTRUSTED THE TORAH TO THE
RABBIS & SCHOLARS BUT THEY WERE NOT
FAITHFUL AND CHANGED THE WORDS OF
THE TORAH
THE TORAH WAS CHANGED
“ WOE TO THOSE WHO WRITE THE
BOOK WITH THEIR OWN HANDS AND
THEN SAY: “ THIS IS FROM ALLAH” TO
TRAFFIC WITH IT FOR A MISERABLE
PRICE! WOE TO THEM FOR WHAT
THEIR HANDS DO WRITE, AND FOR
THE GAIN THEY MAKE THEREBY”
AL-BAQARA 2 : 79
OUR DUTY TOWARDS THE
QUR’AN
1- TO READ ITS VERSES AND
UNDERSTAND ITS MESSAGE
2- TO MEMORIZE THE QUR’AN
3- TO APPLY ITS RULINGS IN OUR LIFE
4- TO TEACH THE QUR’AN TO OTHERS
THE BEST AMONG YOU WHO
TEACHES THE QUR’AN
PROPHET MUHAMMAD ( PBUH ) SAID :
( THE BEST AMONG YOU IS HE WHO
LEARNS THE QUR’AN AND TEACHES IT
TO OTHERS )
