이슬람 전통에서 말하는 같은 뿌리의 일신교 - 유대교, 그리스도교, 이슬람 -

Abstract

Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all monotheistic faiths that worship the same God of Adam, Abraham, and Moses. They share a common belief in the oneness of God(Monotheism), sacred history, prophets and divine revelation, angels, Judgment Day, and eternal reward and punishment. The Quran and Islamic tradition regard Jews and Christians as children of Abraham and refer to them as "people of the book" since all three monotheistic faiths descended from the same patrilineal of Abraham. Muslim believe that God sent his revelation(Torah) first to the Jews through Moses and then to Christians through Jesus(Gospel, Injil), and finally to Muslims through Muhammad(the Quran). However they believe that over time the original revelations to Moses and Jesus became corrupted. As Christians view their revelation as both fulfilling and completing the revelation of the Old Testament, Muslims believe that the prophat Muhammad received his revelations from God to correct human error that made its way into the scriptures and belief systems of Judaism and Christianity. Therefore, Muslims believe that Islam is not a new religion with a new scripture. Far from being the youngest of the major monotheistic world religions, from a Muslim point of view Islam is the oldest because it represents the original as well as the final revelation of the same God of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. However divisive the past has been for them, Jews, Christians, and Muslims remain united at the level of a common parent, Abraham. Perhaps the Quran says it best : "Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian, but he was true in faith and bowed his will to God's, and he joined no gods with God"(3:67,2:135-136). Islamic logic concludes that all true followers of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus are Muslims.
