“ISLAM AGAMA SEMUA NABI” DALAM PERSPEKTIF AL-QUR’AN
Abstract
This article examines the religions held by the messengers of Allah, as it represented in the Qur’an. It explains that the religion brought by the messengers of Allah is Islam. Islam, in the sense of the non-Muhammadan religion, can be seen as the attribute or the adjective entity, whereas Islam in the religious sense which brought by the prophet Muhammad, refers to both the attribute and the name. The distinguishing character between between pre-“Islamic” Muhammad and Islam brought by the last prophet lies in the difference of the “syari’ah”. However, the goal remains the same; to perform the commands of one God, which is the “tauhid”. Therefore, the Qur’an doesn’t conform the notion that the apostles were Jewish or Christian, but they are the messengers of God who brought “Islam”.
