Prophets and Messengers of God
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم
It's
not right that God would reveal on his Messengers or Prophets different
Religions that contradict each other in essentials. A messenger is a
prophet who comes with abrogating some of the laws brought by the
previous messenger or receives a new set of laws. But the religion is
one, believing in the oneness of Allâh.
Hence Allâh sent all the Prophets to follow one religion.
The true scriptures were Revelations received by these Prophets. Moses
and Jesus both received scriptures, but what are now called the Torah
and the Bible have been tampered with by man and are not the true
Revelations received by the great messengers Moses and Jesus. The only
scripture which is unchanged and will never be changed is the Qur'ân,
which is the scripture Allâh gave MuHammad, His last prophet, in clear
and eloquent Arabic.
Allâh
has promised to protect the Quran from any changes by man and it has
remained unchanged since it was received some 1400 years ago.
And
this is a fact; all copies of al-Qur'ân are same, one and only script
that was revealed to Prophet MuHammad by angel Gabriel.
So, Prophets had one Religion, some of the laws between one messenger and the other differed.
For
example, at the time of Prophet Adam, Lady Eve, his wife, had many
children that were twins. The twins would be female and male at each
delivery (except the last one, it was not a twin).
The
brother was allowed to marry his sister during that time, but the law
he can marry his sister from the other delivery not from the same
delivery. That was during Prophet Adams time. And obviously it's not the
law of Prophet MuHammad, or previous Prophets, such as Jesus, Moses,
David, Jacob, or Isaac. For, it's forbidden in their laws for the
brother to marry from his sister. That's the kind of difference in laws.
Also
other differences that they had were like the number of obligatory
prayers. Some were obliged to pray 2 times, and some were obliged 5
times and similar differences, that are not in beliefs but in practices
of the Religion. They all worshipped Allâh, the creator, the one who
brought the creations from the state of non existent to the state of
existent.
And
those who claim that Jesus came with the right religion, and the proof
that Jesus existed and he was as some people claim "the son of God" we
ask them to show us the real bible that Jesus had?!
They
say that the bible was not collected into one "canon", that affirms
that the bible they are referring to is made by man, and is NOT the
message of God. Good point? So according to their claim, man made up
your religion, it's not the religion of God, that is not the religion
that God ordered his people to follow.
Intellectually
it's unacceptable that God sent different religions opposing each other
to the people to follow! One that believes that there are five Gods, or
two Gods, or millions of Gods..! That's not right. So certainly the
bible is perverted.
At
the time of Prophet MuHammad, people had different sects and beliefs.
The bible was first changed when the real followers of Jesus died.
People started to change the book, claiming that it had many obligations
on people, so they said we must reduce the obligations and rules on the
people so it becomes easy for people to accept it.
And
whether these changes are modern or not, they are a clear evidence that
the religion Allah revealed to Prophet Jesus is Islam. Because Religion
is sent onto a Prophet to convey it to the People to practice it and
follow it. That's why Allâh sends the Prophets, and that's why the one
that encounters the call of that Prophet is accountable on the Day of
Judgment. As for Islam, it complies with sound mind, it's known in the
Qur'ân, which is one book, and is known from the teachings of Prophet
MuHammad, the man of miracles that prove his prophethood.
