Introduction

The message of Islam represents the **culmination of the monotheistic guidance** first revealed to Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim, peace be upon him) and continued through the line of prophets, including Moses, David, and Jesus. Islam preserves the essential principles of Tawheed, prophethood, and moral accountability while providing final, universal guidance for all humanity.

Islam as the Seal of Prophethood

The Qur’an explicitly confirms the finality of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the last messenger in the Abrahamic tradition:

Ibn Kathir (God Almighty be merciful to him) emphasizes that this verse confirms the completion of the prophetic chain and establishes Islam as the preserved guidance, fulfilling all earlier prophecies.

Alignment with the Abrahamic Tradition

The Qur’an draws direct links to the Abrahamic faiths:

Abraham’s (peace be upon him) submission to God Almighty (Tawheed) is mirrored in Islam. All prophetic missions aimed to guide humanity to worship God Almighty alone. The scholars observed that Islam restores the original purity of Abrahamic monotheism, unaltered by human additions or misinterpretations.

Confirmation and Preservation of Scripture

The Qur’an confirms previous scriptures while correcting human distortions:

The scholars stressed that this demonstrates the Qur’an as both a confirmation and completion of the messages revealed to Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them both), maintaining clarity and authenticity for all nations.

Biblical Foreshadowing of the Final Message

Muslim scholars cite Biblical passages that align with the finality and universality of the Islamic message:

This prophecy, interpreted by the Salaf and later scholars, points to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the culmination of Abraham’s line, bringing guidance to all humanity, not solely to one nation.

Universality of Islam

Islam transcends tribal, ethnic, and linguistic boundaries, as emphasized in the Qur’an:

The scholars explained that the universal nature of Islam fulfills God Almighty’s promise that the final message would be for all people, preserving the essence of Abrahamic monotheism in its original, uncorrupted form.

Conclusion

Islam represents the **completion of the Abrahamic message**, unifying faith, law, and morality under the guidance of the final messenger, Muhammad (peace be upon him). It preserves the monotheism of Abraham, confirms previous scriptures, and provides a clear, universal path for humanity. Through Islam, God Almighty has sent the final, authentic, and preserved guidance for all times and peoples.
