    Religious History

    What Muslims Believe


    Islam, the Original Religion

    Muslims believe that Islam (meaning submission to Allah) is the original religion since the creation of Adam, the first prophet. Since the beginning of time, all people who submit to Allah are called Muslims. Over the centuries, Allah appointed thousands of prophets to warn and guide mankind. Prominent among them were Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), Dawud (David), and Isa Al Masih (Jesus the Messiah).

    Muhammad, the Final Prophet

    Mankind habitually strayed from the way of Allah revealed through the prophets. About AD 610 in Arabia, Allah sent the last prophet, Muhammad, who united the Arab tribes and turned them from idolatry to Islam.

    The Spread of Islam

    After the death of Muhammad in AD 632, Sunni Islam rapidly spread from Arabia under the leadership of the first four rightly guided rulers (caliphs) who were close companions of Muhammad. Shia Islam began to rapidly spread through the teachings of infallible Imams from the bloodline of Muhammad. To Muslims, the military and economic expansion of Islam liberated people suffering under the corrupt Byzantine and Persian Empires.

    What Christians Believe


    Adam and Jesus

    Christians also trace their religious history back to Adam, who brought the curse of sin upon all mankind (Gen. 1–3). In the Bible, Jesus is known as the second Adam, who came to remove this curse of sin (Rom. 5).

    Abraham and Jesus

    God’s plan unfolded carefully over history. Abraham (Ibrahim in Arabic) was promised the blessing to carry out God’s eternal purposes. He was blessed so he could be a blessing to all the families of the earth (Gen. 12:1–3; Gal. 3). Jesus is the promised seed of Eve who would crush the head of Satan (Shaytan in Arabic; Gen. 3:15) and bring the blessing of the Good News (Injil in Arabic).
