Three Abrahamic Faiths?

posted by Seifeddine-M on 4th November 2015 - 0 comments

Although it is a popular contemporary belief to state that there are three Abrahamic faiths, in actuality, the Bible does not contain any instruction to enter into a religion called Judaism or Christianity. Noah عليه السلام, Abraham عليه السلام, Ishmael عليه السلام, Isaac عليه السلام and Jacob عليه السلام came before the words Judaism and Christianity even existed.

"Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was Haneefan Muslimaa [an upright monotheist who submitted himself to Allaah], and he was not of those who associated partners with Allaah in worship." (3:67)

For this reason, the One who sent Abraham عليه السلام as a prophet addressed those who would dispute this matter, saying:

Did The Prophet (SAW) Appoint 'Ali (RA) As His Successor?

A Commentary of the Hadeeth: "You are unto me as Haaroon was unto Moosaa."

On the authrority of Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqaas رضي الله عنه, that the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said to 'Ali Ibn Abi Taalib رضي الله عنه: "You are unto me as Haaroon was unto Moosaa, except that there will be no Prophet after me." [1]

The narration of Ahmad on the authority of Sa'eed Ibn al-Musayyib has it that 'Ali رضي الله عنه replied: "I am content, I am content!"

Ibn Sa'd narrates essentially the same story on the authority of al-Baraa' رضي الله عنه and Zayd Ibn Arqam رضي الله عنه, who reported that 'Ali's رضي الله عنه reply was, "Indeed, O Messenger of Allaah,' to which the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "It is indeed so."
