Muslims: Is Islam an Abrahamic religion

[A-ManESL]

What does saying this even mean? Abraham(pbuh) was a messenger of God according to the Quran, but likewise according to the Quran there have been messengers of God in all nations of the world. So what do you think? Should Islam be called an Abrahamic religion?

Christianity, Judaism and Islam are consist of the same message, they were 3 scriptures sent down from God, for the people at that specific time. However they have divided into these 3 religions due to the message being altered in some way.

you are right,religion from Adam till today is one religion which is submission to god,
so Adam,Noah,Abraham,Moses......etc are with the same religion.

By saying Abrahamic religion,then we make it, as if Abraham pbuh got a religion which
is different than Noah pbuh.and that isn't true,because religion should be one
which is the complete submission to god.

That's precisely what I am talking about. I don't think this idea of "Islam is an Abrahamic religion" has anything to do with Islam.

Its a western term since Christians and Jews generally belief it started with Abraham(p) we don't support that view though.

Why have you voted yes in that case?

Why have you voted yes in that case?

It is a religion that Abraham(p) was upholding but that doesn't mean its hes religion or started with him that's why .

I voted "Yes"

Abraham made a dou'a in Mecca for us
Abraham called us "muslims"

Allah always Said in the Qu'ran to Muhammad and to us "Follow the faith of Abraham"

2.124 And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham was tried by his Lord with commands and he fulfilled them. [ Allah ] said, "Indeed, I will make you a leader for the people."

2.125 And [mention] when We made the House a place of return for the people and [a place of] security. And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer.

2.128 Our Lord, and make us Muslims [in submission] to You and from our descendants a Muslim nation [in submission] to You.

22.78 And strive for Allah with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Abraham.


Allah Himself always mention Abraham (as) as the exemple for us muslims, and for Muhammad (saw) too.

A-ManESL,
Islam, Judaism and Christianity all started out as Abrahamic religions.
The big difference, it seems is that Islam and Judaism rejected Jesus as the Messiah, the son of God. In the Bible Jehovah is the God of Abraham, but Islam changed to another name for their god, even though, it seems, that Jehovah says there is NO OTHER GOD, BUT HIM, Isa 44:6,9,10, 14-17. It seems also, that Jehovah says that He is going to remove all other gods, Jere 10:10-12, 14,15. This is what Abraham's God said.
By rejecting Jesus, they have rejected also, the Christian Greek Scriptures. According to the Bible, it seems, Jesus name is the only name given by which men MUST be saved, Acts 4:12, John 14:6, 1Tim 2:5,6.

From my understanding of all three of those religions, your statement is actually false as they do not all contain the same message.
