GET TO KNOW MY RELIGION : ISLAM

HISTORY BEFORE ISLAM

So, here is where it all begins.

humanity had first begun with Adam (alai salam aka "as")
and hawa/eve (as)

but then as the humans start to grow, their belief in god also started to have variations like

god or godess?

young or old?

one or many?

and these believes lead to formations of groups , each following their own created stories of god, leaving the original behind.

Allah (subh hana wa ta'ala aka SWT)

Allah (swt) /god had choosen a prophet in every period to bring the people back on the right path

each prophet had a special power  or did some miracle to prove his prophecy to the people.

like:

musa (as) had  a stick that could convert to a snake and parted the ocean

isa (as)/ jesus could heal people and gave life to a pegion

sulaiman (as) could talk to animal and insects

yosuf (as) survived being eaten by a whale.

and so on,

dawud (as) was the first prophet who was given a book by Allah (swt) as a message from Allah (swt) to the people.

it was called 'ZABUR'

it was not long before the book was burt to ashes along with it's message and belief.

the whole religion died. And people retured to idol worshipping.

many more prophets came before the revelation of the 2nd book

The 'TAURAT' was relvealed to Musa (as) .

but the book was changed, manipulated and misinterpreted according to
people's interest.

Musa(as)'s followers are called jews now.

and so came in the 3rd book 'THE INJIL"

it was revealed to isa (as)/ jesus.

here some thing very interesting took place.

when Isa (as) was locked inside a dark room after putting him on a cross, he disappeared.

according to Islam, when he was in there he looked out of the only window there

and saw a bright star, he immediately knew it wasn't a normal star so he asked Allah(swt) about it

and learned that it was one of the prophets of future and that he would have the largest no. of followers who would believe in him even after he is gone

and that his followers would go on till the end of the world.

Isa(as) was so amazed by this that he requested Allah (swt) to be a follower of the prophet and Allah(swt) fulfilled his wish
and so called Isa(as) to him. (the heavens)

this is how he disappeared from the world but this lead to all the followers of Isa (as) thinking that he was either the son of god or the god.

and later on even the book Injil was changed.
it now has many versions included 2016 and 2017.

which completely changed the orignal believes to what people like.

and then came in the 4th and the last book "THE QURAN"

it was revealed to the prophet Muhammad (saw)

and so came the current religion Islam in existance.

the people who believe in "QURAN" and the teachings of prophet Muhammed (saw) are called muslims.
