Are today's muslims, yesterday's Bani Israeel?

@teggy

The message of Muhammad (s.a.w.) is the same message as those of previous prophets. They all professed the worship of One God without joining any partners with Him. So the point about Isa (a.s.) not knowing anything about Islam is misleading at best. Tauheed has been the foundation of all Prophets that we have been told of from Nuh (a.s.) to Isa (a.s.).

The rest of what you said, I prefer not to reply because I would rather move forward than go in circles.

PS: Thanks for clarifying what you meant. I was hoping instead for actual proof. Perhaps we can all learn to make it clear when something is an opinion rather than fact, for the lack of evidence to back it up later.

Sorry. Dont mean to keep quoting you. Problem is we dont seek help from Quran and just say what sounds good. We are told in Quran that despite prophets having same beliefs, an ummah is formed after a book. Please read the following verses:

[3:66] O People of the Book! why do you dispute concerning Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed till after him? Will you not then understand?

And in another verse ( cant seem to find it ), Abraham (as) is said to be a part of the group of Noah(as).

With the above verses, one thing is clear. An ummah is formed after the revelation of a book/shariyah. Despite Jesus a.s being a true prophet of Allah, he is not sent for Muslims. He cannot be a part of Muslim ummah as Quran is revealed after His death. However, Jesus can be grouped with Israelites prophets, and He infact was a Bani Israeli Prophet. Abraham cannot be jew or Christian. Jesus cannot be Muslim. Hes a prophet of bani israel only.. who told them exactly what Allah had commanded him to tell the people.
