“Say, [O believers], ‘We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him.’” (2:136) Praise be to the One Who created humankind and sent to them messengers and prophets to guide them to love Him. He did not leave humanity without guidance: indeed, He sent to them messengers from amongst themselves to guide them on their journey to know and love Him and He desires of them.
