IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE BENEFICENT, THE MERCIFUL
ASALATU WASALAM ALA KA YA RASOOL ALLAH S.A.W.
Islam the religion of truth and justice
ALLAH, the Name itself witnesses with all its Glory and Majesty, that He is the Only One True God-the Creator, and the Sustainer of the worlds.
The History provides us the evidence that the messengers of ALLAH have been sent to every nation. It was never the intention of Almighty to differentiate people on the basis of messengers and messages. The Holy Quran throws light on this fact and says that (2:213) "(All) people are a single nation; so ALLAH raised prophets as bearers of good tidings and as warners, and revealed therewith the Scripture with the truth that it might judge between mankind concerning that wherein they differed"
The spirit of all messages and mission of every messenger has always been the same–showing the right path. We know that several Prophets have been sent to various nations with messages in their own languages creating familiarity and understanding with the addressee. Such as Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus, and lastly Muhammad (peace and mercy of ALLAH be upon them) were sent to accomplish this prestigious Divine mission.
Although, their languages were different in which messages were conveyed but the Name of One True God-- ALLAH found to be the same and intact, in spite of various linguistic mutation.
The common beliefs and values are identified to express the universal Truth and Religious harmony. There may be elements of diversity in religion in “non-essentials” matters. As far as “essentials” of a Religion are concerned, we find enormous unity in respect of the concept of “One God and submission to His will.”
The mission of holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was to restore the worship of the One True God-the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, as taught by all the Prophets of God, and to demonstrate and complete the laws of moral, ethical, legal, and social conduct and all other matters of significance for the humanity at large.
It is Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who taught to the entire world the path of piety, righteousness and truth. He enlightened the world with the words of Almighty ALLAH, he the chosen one of Mighty Creator- came as a mercy for the worlds.
The well-known historians Edward Gibbon and Simon Ocklay (History of the Saracen Empire, London, 1870, p. 54) have acknowledged the concept of Unity of God and Prophet-hood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) in a very appropriate manner "I believe in One God and Mahomet the Apostle of God is the simple and invariable profession of Islam. The intellectual image of the Deity has never been degraded by any visible idol; the honours of the Prophet have never transgressed the measure of human virtue, and his living precepts have restrained the gratitude of his disciples within the bounds of reason and religion."
