Islam is the religion of all the prophets before it, yet Islam doesn't obey the laws of these prophets

Particularly, Moses

Leviticus 11:4
“The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is ceremonially unclean for you.”

omoredia:
“What makes you think I want all your sacrifices?” says the LORD. “I am sick of your burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fattened cattle. I get no pleasure from the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.

Isaiah 1: 11

1 Samuel 15:22-23 (KJV)

Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, He hath also rejected thee from being king.
