Is Islam the only divine religion?

Question

Does Islam claim to be the only true divine religion in the world?

Reply

The statement “Islam claims to be the only true Divine religion” is sometimes misconstrued as Islam’s non-recognition of Divine revelation to anyone before Muhammad (pbuh). Islam recognizes not only the fact that God revealed His message to Adam,Noah, Abraham,Ishmael, Isaac,, Jacob,Moses Jesus(peace be upon them) and a number of other prophets before Muhammad (pbuh), but is also emphatic about the point that the primary objective in the revelation given to Muhammad (pbuh) is to guide people to the true Abrahamic code of religion. Thus, Islam recognizes the point that the teachings of all these earlier prophets of God were also based upon Divine revelation and, therefore, constituted Divine religion.

The claim of Islam, on the other hand, is that God’s revelation to man has always entailed the same basic message, the same basic truths and has always required the same basic response from man. The laws and the religious rituals may have been different for different peoples and in different revelations – as a part of the overall test of man – yet the corpus of beliefs, introduction to God and God’s moral laws and the corpus of morality have always remained the same. Thus, from the perspective of the basic values, beliefs and moral teachings, Divine revelation has always been composed of the same teachings.

The foregoing point, stated a little differently, implies that the Divine revelation has always entailed the same basic teachings as presented in the revelation to Muhammad (pbuh).The only addition i would like to make is that we,the muslims,claim that Islam,present in the form of Quran and the established practices of Prophet Muhhad(pbuh),is clear from any adulterations and interpolations.

I hope this helps.
