From the very beginning Adam peace be upon him, the religion was Islam in the sense of submission to and worship of the One God. The names and forms may have differed, but the core belief was always the same. The practices and laws differed from one messenger to another, but the fundamental message remained: worship God alone, without partners — no idols, no humans, no one else. He is One, and we are all His creation.
The Qur’an itself mentions the earlier religions and their prophets many times. The stories of Jesus and Moses peace, be upon them are in the Qur’an, as is the story of Mary, the virgin mother of Jesus. Muslims believe in Jesus and love him, and you cannot truly be a Muslim without believing in and loving Jesus, because he was a prophet who came with the same fundamental message.
And think about this: Muhammad peace, be upon him was an Arab man who was illiterate, living in the Arabian Peninsula, far from the great civilizations of that time. So where did the Qur’an come from, with all its stories, teachings, and miracles? The answer is that it is the word of God.
I genuinely encourage you to read more about this perspective.
Forget the labels — Christian, Jewish, Muslim — and focus on the core belief and the message these prophets came with. At its heart, it is the same message: worship the One God.
