Who Was Jesus (as)?

[ronniv93]

All Messengers and Prophets starting from Adam till Mohamed, including Ibraheem (Abraham) Mussa and Eassa peace and prayer be upon all of them did not call for any other religion but Islam to Allah the Only One Deity Worthy to worship.
So Islam does not mean Mohamed SAW or Quran, it is the only teachings Allah Sent to mankind. If u r not ok with this that is fine. But this is the truth.

Well, here, I'll use a phrase that I remember seeing Umm_Zachariah use: We'll have to simply agree to disagree.


I simply can't accept in my mind that all prophets were Muslim. It's like historic revisionism to me to say that. I have never seen any other prophet say, follow this religion that I follow called "submission". True, they believed in One God but that doesn't make them Muslim by default. We never hear of this name for the religion until Muhammad and it is seemingly applied backwards to people who never heard of the word before.


So, yeah, it's not really OK with me.


Some other religion could come along after Islam claiming to be the religion of "The Hearer" stating that all prophets HEARD from God and thus all prophets including Muhammad were "Hearers". I mean, wouldn't that seem a bit odd and wrong to you?


This is probably one of the topics that makes me most uncomfortable, because everything within me rejects this idea. A lot of people today seem to want to rewrite history in the way that fits their purposes and ideology and that's what this sounds like to me.


Why does Islam have to come in and redefine the prophets that came before it? Why can't it simply be accepted that these people were Jewish by faith (except for people like Enoch and Abraham because they didn't have the Torah and so couldn't follow a "Jewish faith")?


How would Muslims like it if someone else came and claimed that Muhammad wasn't Muslim but some other religion? Just as easily as you would toss out such an idea is just as easy as it is for me to do the same.
