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: ISLAMALL 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” AL-MAEDA 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 )
