Tawhid And The Unity Of The Religion Of All Messengers In Islam by Rashduct4luv(op):
Islam teaches that Tawhid—the oneness of Allah—is the core and essence of the religion revealed to all the prophets and messengers throughout history. The religion with which Allah sent His messengers and revealed His books is fundamentally Islam, meaning submission and complete surrender to the one true God.

The Religion of All Messengers is Islam
Allah clearly states in the Qur'an that the religion He sent with all His messengers is Islam, emphasizing the unity of the divine message despite differences in laws and rituals:

Surah Aal Imran 3:19
“Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.”

Surah Aal Imran 3:85
“And whoever desires other than Islam as religion—never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.”

Surah Yunus 10:72
“And if you turn away [from my advice] then no payment have I asked of you. My reward is only from Allah , and I have been commanded to be of the Muslims.”

The Example of the Prophets and Their Teachings

Allah recounts the instructions of earlier prophets Ibrahim (Abraham) and Yaqub (Jacob) to their children, affirming that the religion they followed was Islam:
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:130-132
"And who would be averse to the religion of Abraham except one who makes a fool of himself? And We had chosen him in this world, and indeed he, in the Hereafter, will be among the righteous.
When his Lord said to him, 'Submit,' he said, 'I have submitted [in Islam] to the Lord of the worlds.'

"And Abraham instructed his sons [to do the same] and [so did] Jacob, [saying], 'O my sons, indeed Allah has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims.”

Surah Aal-Imran 3:67
"Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not of the polytheists."

Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) also affirmed this submission:
Surah Yusuf (12:101)
"My Lord, You have given me [something] of sovereignty and taught me of the interpretation of dreams. Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous."

Allah’s Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon) said:
Surah An-Naml (27:38)
"He said, 'O chiefs! Which of you will bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?'"

The Queen of Sheba (Balqees) recognized the truth of submission to Allah:
Surah An-Naml 27:44
"She said, 'O eminent ones, indeed, to me has been delivered a noble letter.
Indeed, it is from Solomon, and indeed, it reads:
"In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
Be not haughty with me but come to me in submission [as Muslims]."


The Consistency of the Message
Prophet Musa (Moses) called his people to Islam:
Surah Yunus 10:84
“And Moses said, "O my people, if you have believed in Allah , then rely upon Him, if you should be Muslims."

Even the magicians of Pharaoh acknowledged Allah’s power:
Surah Al-A’raf 7:126
“And you do not resent us except because we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, pour upon us patience and let us die as Muslims [in submission to You].”

Pharaoh, the enemy of Allah, acknowledged the truth before his end:
Surah Yunus 10:90
“And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them in tyranny and enmity until, when drowning overtook him, he said, "I believe that there is no deity except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims..”

Allah confirms the unity of the religion of all prophets:
Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:44
“Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets who submitted [to Allah] judged by it....

Allah commands the People of the Book to believe in the same religion:
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:136
“Say, ‘We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord.’”

Islam as the Pure Religion of Tawhid
The religion of all prophets is one and the same in its essence: Tawhid—affirming the oneness of Allah and submitting to Him alone. While laws and rituals may differ according to time and place, the core message remains unchanged.

Surah Al-Baqarah 2:132
“This was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, and so did Jacob; ‘O my sons, indeed Allah has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims.’”

On the Phrase “The Three Heavenly Religions”
The phrase “the three heavenly religions” (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) is a common but incorrect expression in Islamic theology. It implies that there are multiple valid religions, which contradicts the Qur’anic teaching that Islam is the only true religion.

The names “Judaism” and “Christianity” were given by followers and unknown people after the prophets passed away, not by Allah.

Allah says about those who say “We are Christians”:
Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:14
“And from those who say, ‘We are Christians,’ We took their covenant.”

And about those who say “We are Christians”:Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:82

This shows that while there were followers of earlier prophets, the pure religion remains Islam, the religion of submission to Allah alone.

Islam teaches that the religion of all the messengers is one: the pure religion of Tawhid and submission to Allah. Differences in laws and rituals do not negate this fundamental unity. The Qur’an and the teachings of the prophets affirm that Islam is the original and final religion sent by Allah for all humanity.

May Allah guide us to understand and uphold the pure religion of Islam, the religion of all His messengers. Ameen.

You Muslims should start telling yourselves the truth about your religion.

Abraham, Isaac, Moses, Noah, Elijah, Zachariah, John, Jesus and all the people you are claiming have NOTHING to do with Islam.

Those people are people of YHWH, not alllla. It is now common knowledge that allllla is Not YHWH.

Your founder just went into the Bible and started copying names and stories.

Your religion is a copy copy reliiligion. your founder copied from Jewws, Christians, Serbbians and soon. After copying stories, he called them revelation to deceive people!

Taoheed is actually a UNIFICATION of Religions of the Sabians, the Jews, the Christians, the Pre-islamic Arabian religion, the Zoroastrian etc.


Ahad is just "One of" the Deities representing the Taoheed.


The average Muslim doesn't know that Taoheed means UNIFICATION and not ONENESS!

Any religion promoted with LIES must of necessity be FALSE!
Re: Tawhid And The Unity Of The Religion Of All Messengers In Islam by Kukutente23:
What is actually interesting about Islam's theology is that the first known monotheistic religion in the world which is Zoroastrianism is missing from its exposition of religions that emphasized the oneness of God. Instead, its narrative is basically founded on the Jewish chronology of Yahweh while it adopted the Arabic name of a tribal god to replace Yahweh.

Confusing still is that a lot of the process of worship is adopted from Zoroastrianism such as the sujud, circumambulation, fasting in a prescribed month, facing the East to pray and the shahada. These practices are alien to Judaism but found common in Zoroastrianism.

The biggest confusion is in claiming that all Jewish forebears were Muslims who practiced Islam while the Jews have never heard of any religion called Islam in their ancestry and their national God is named Yahweh not Allah.

Worse still, if you check according to the Qur'an, after Nur's flood, all the people on earth were Muslims which means Islam was the only religion on earth. However, by the birth of Muhammad, no one had ever heard of a religion called Islam. No one ever remotely knew of any book given to Noah to start the new world.

The last prophet before Muhammad is Isa (Jesus) and in the approximately 600years between them, Islam obviously became extinct.

Neither the Qur'an nor hadith explain to us how Islam became extinct after Isa (Jesus) from being the only religion on earth in Nur's (Noah) time and the possibility of such occurring again!

Excellent post.

There are no epigraphs, artefact or evidence of any kind to suggest ee.slam. existed before the 7th century.
There is no sign of the books purportedly given to Noah, Moses, David or Jesus.
There is zero evidence that the OT mentions or knows of a god called al ha!
Nor is there any proof that this god al ha! is the same as the one mentioned in the OT.

All we can find are copied texts, false claims and contrived narratives. And of course threats, violence and bloodshed if you disagree.

Come to Christ, come to the truth, to the one who loves you and gave himself for you, and be set free.
Come, because He is soon coming for His own.

Yes! and there's also the small matter of the Judaic and Christian heaven being totally at variance with the heaven as prescribed by Islam .

In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Jesus made it clear that there exists a gulf between hell and heaven such that there is no way for one to cross from heaven to hell and vice versa.

However, in Muhammad's description of Al-Jannah( heaven), all Muslims who are heaven bound must first pass through hell to get there.

This presents a serious contradiction because it implies that all the Messengers of Allah have all been to hell and back. However, in the Mirage of Muhammad, he entered heaven without passing through hell. One wonders how he was able to achieve that. Perhaps, there are many routes to heaven and Allah chose hell as the best route for all Muslims to pass before they can reach heaven.

As they say, Allah knows best!

Yes it’s true “Allah” the shigidi (idol) of Saudi in Mecca knows the best on why he should allow Muslims pass through HEll to get to Heaven.

Rashduct4luv:
Islam teaches that Tawhid—the oneness of Allah—is the core and essence of the religion revealed to all the prophets and messengers throughout history. The religion with which Allah sent His messengers and revealed His books is fundamentally Islam, meaning submission and complete surrender to the one true God.

The Religion of All Messengers is Islam
Allah clearly states in the Qur'an that the religion He sent with all His messengers is Islam, emphasizing the unity of the divine message despite differences in laws and rituals:

Surah Aal Imran 3:19
“Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.”

Surah Aal Imran 3:85
“And whoever desires other than Islam as religion—never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.”

Surah Yunus 10:72
“And if you turn away [from my advice] then no payment have I asked of you. My reward is only from Allah , and I have been commanded to be of the Muslims.”

The Example of the Prophets and Their Teachings

Allah recounts the instructions of earlier prophets Ibrahim (Abraham) and Yaqub (Jacob) to their children, affirming that the religion they followed was Islam:
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:130-132
"And who would be averse to the religion of Abraham except one who makes a fool of himself? And We had chosen him in this world, and indeed he, in the Hereafter, will be among the righteous.
When his Lord said to him, 'Submit,' he said, 'I have submitted [in Islam] to the Lord of the worlds.'

"And Abraham instructed his sons [to do the same] and [so did] Jacob, [saying], 'O my sons, indeed Allah has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims.”

Surah Aal-Imran 3:67
"Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not of the polytheists."

Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) also affirmed this submission:
Surah Yusuf (12:101)
"My Lord, You have given me [something] of sovereignty and taught me of the interpretation of dreams. Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous."

Allah’s Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon) said:

"He said, 'O chiefs! Which of you will bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?'"

The Queen of Sheba (Balqees) recognized the truth of submission to Allah:

"She said, 'O eminent ones, indeed, to me has been delivered a noble letter.
