One message, many prophets

The same call throughout history: One God, one purpose.

When people hear the word "Islam," they often imagine a completely new religion. But Islam presents itself not as something new, but as a continuation.

What never changed

Across history, every prophet called people to:

The details varied to fit the time and people, but the foundation remained the same. This is why Islam emphasizes the oneness of God as the central truth.

Familiar names

Islam does not introduce unknown figures. It affirms and honors prophets already known in the Bible, including:

All are respected as messengers of God, not rivals or strangers.

Jesus (Peace be upon him) in this chain

In Islam, Jesus (Peace be upon him) holds a unique and honored position. He is seen as a messenger sent to guide, born miraculously as a sign from God.

But like the prophets before him, Jesus (Peace be upon him) pointed people beyond himself , toward God. Seeing Jesus within this chain restores continuity rather than conflict.

If God is one, would His message truly contradict itself across generations?
