Certain people erroneously believe that the prophet Mohamed (PBUH) differs from his predecessors and as such consequently promote  lies that he called people to the worship of another deity never heard before from those mentioned in both the old Old Testament and New Testament. This is simply a deliberate obliteration of the simple fact that all Prophets are recognized by Muslims as having a shared mission. This falsification is meant to dissuade People from embracing Islam.

A true Muslim who is considered to have recognized all prophets prior to the mission of Mohamed (PBUH). If a Muslim expresses an unbelief in any of those predecessors, he will be viewed by Muslim orthodox as having renounced the Islamic established creed altogether. In addition, a Muslim is obliged to accept all the Books revealed by angels to messengers of Allah before Mohamed (PBUH). The Holy Quran is included with various verses which recognize the previous messengers . Quote 58-59 Surrah Mariam (19)

"58 Those were some of the prophets on whom Allah did bestow His Grace, of the posterity of Adam, and of those who We carried (in the Ark) with Noah, and of the posterity of Abraham and Israel of those whom We guided and chose. Whenever the Signs of ((Allah)) Most Gracious were rehearsed to them, they would fall down in prostrate adoration and in tears.

59 But after them there followed a posterity who missed prayers and followed after lusts soon, then, will they face Destruction,

if they were ".

All Messengers had a shared mission

All Messengers were unfailingly entrusted with one mission ie. the spreading of monotheism. As indicated in the Holy Quran all revelations to previous messengers asserted the oneness of Allah. Their  mission included indications of the righteous and astray  paths and their respective  milestones so that people would make their choices.

Surrah Al-baqara(1) verse 213

"Mankind was one single nation,and Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People of the Book, after the clear Signs came to them, did not differ among themselves, except through selfish contumacy. Allah by His Grace Guided the believers to the Truth, concerning that wherein they differed.For Allah guided whom He will to a path that is straight."

The Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) throughout his carrier asserted that all messengers had one mission, drawn from a single source and aiming the same goal. None of his contemporary Christians and Jews held that he had been different from his predecessors.

Moreover, during an occasion which brought him together with a disciple of the prophet Jonah, the later asked the Prophet Mohamed if he knew Jonah. The prophets reply was assertive that Jonah had been  Prophet and Mohamed was prophet as well.

The prophets spent all his life dwelling on the lives of his predecessors defending then  and refuting all blasphemous accounts designed to smear their names. The Holy Quran highlighted  the righteous path of life they have taken and the examples they set in trueness and allegiance  to Allah for whole humanity to follow. Quote Surrah Al-anam (6) verse 90

"Those were the Prophets

Who received Allah guidance

Copy the guidance they received. ..."

The Holy Quran indicated the same path for all those who seek righteousness and attain company of  prophets  and so as to be ranked among them

Surrah Annisa (4)  verse 69

"All who obey Allah

And the Messenger

Are in the Company

Of those on whom

Is the Grace of Allah,-

Of the prophets (who teach),

The sincere (lovers of Truth),

The witnesses (who testify),

And the Righteous (who do good):

Ah! what a beautiful fellowship!"

Since the outset of his mission the Prophet Mohamed called upon people to worship one deity, One Allah, Supreme and Irresistible. His call was same as that of his predecessors in cautioning people again associating partners with Allah.

It is true that different prophets had their own distinct jurisprudences. However , considering that  jurisprudence aims at the prosperity and development of human life and that the Prophet’s Sharia was always easy to understand  and lent itself for application in all societies regardless of time and place constraints.

This characteristic of Sharia prompted a host of contemporary intellectuals among sociologist and historian advocate its adoption a  universal source of legislation that would offer  a way out of all social and spiritual ailments.

Misconceptions about Islam held by some western intellectuals are attributed to smear media campaigns and influences of false reports.
