======= First of all let me clear a misconception. The word Allah is not an Arabic word. We can find one ancient source about the truth. Jesus (Pbuh) used to speak in Aramaic. Hebrew language came into being later on. Jesus used to call His lord by the name Eloha. "Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani." Psalm 22. ("My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?). The name of the father of Muhammad was Abdullah means Abd (Servent) of Allah so it shows Allah the name existed before the advent of Muhammad.
The phonetics of Allah was little different due to the accent of different languages but it was always Allah . This name is the ontological name of the lord. God is Proto-Germanic word, a try to anglicize name of the LORD. .............................
The literal meaning of Islam is peace and the inherent meaning is to submit will at the will of Allah is Islam. … From Adam to Muhammad peace be upon them all were prophets of Allah. Thus every prophets came to preach Islam and all of them were Muslims. “
"Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to Allah's (Which is Islam), and he joined not gods with Allah.”( Qur’an 3:67). “Say: 'We believe in God, and that which has been sent down on us, and sent down on Abraham and Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob, and the Tribes, and in that which was given to Moses and Jesus, and the Prophets, of their Lord; we make no division between any of them, and to Him we surrender.' (Qur’an 3:84).
Each and every prophet predicted the next prophet after him. It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12: "And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned." When Archangel Gabrail commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by saying Iqra - "Read", he replied, "I am not learned".
……………………. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned by name in the Song of Solomon chapter 5 verse 16: "Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem." "His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem." In the Hebrew language im is added for respect. Similarely im is added after the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to make it Muhammadim. In English translation they have even translated the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as "altogether lovely", but in the Old Testament in Hebrew, the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is yet present. ..................................
But during those days people were not used of writing therefore the messages those prophets verbalized were interpolated in the course of time. People distorted the real messages and kept adding their own brain child as the word of Lord.
"Of those who are Jews (there are those who) alter words from their places and say: We have heard and we disobey and: Hear, may you not be made to hear! and distorting (the word) with their tongues and taunting about religion; and if they had said (instead): We have heard and we obey, it would have been better for them and more upright; but Allah has cursed them on account of their unbelief, so they do not believe but a little." Qur'an 4:46 .... "And with those who say, We are Christians, We made a covenant, but they neglected a portion of what they were reminded of, therefore We excited among them enmity and hatred to the day of resurrection; and Allah will inform them of what they did. O followers of the Book! indeed Our Messenger has come to you making clear to you much of what you concealed of the Book and passing over much; indeed, there has come to you light and a clear Book from Allah;"
................................ David,Moses, Abraham,Jesus all were prophets and a Muslim must believe them as prophets. The problem is their prophesized messages got misinterpreted. The true followers of Moses or Jesus were Muslims. Mother and father of prophet Muhammad were Muslims too as the followers of Jesus and few people were trying hard to follow the real messages of Jesus those were revealed on Him. ...................
There is no Jews and Christianity. These religions are human made. Allah used to call the followers of Moses as Israelis as they were members of the nation as Israel. Those who truly followed the messages of Moses were Muslims too. But it was hard for the next generation to find out the real messages of Moses because the messages were abrogated.
............................. Had Allah wished, He could have created mankind like angels, incapable of committing sin. However, that was not His wish, as He had already created angels. Human beings were created capable of making mistakes and when they realize their errors and seek God's forgiveness, the divine attributes of mercy and forgiveness become manifest.
.............................................. Allah created Adam directly without the agency of parents. Allah says: “The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.” [Sûrah Al `Imrân: 59]
........................................ There is no original sin in Islam every children is born as an innocent Muslim be he/she born in a Jewish family or pagans family or in a Muslim family. But after attaining their maturity they must become Muslim by choice be he or she was born in a Muslim family too. Islam cannot be inherited or there is no by chance Muslim.
........................ Adam and his wife were the father and mother of all human beings living on the Earth today. We know about this by way of direct revelation from Allah. In the Qur’ân, Allah states clearly: “O mankind! Be careful of your duty to your Lord Who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate and from them twain hath spread abroad a multitude of men and women.” [Sûrah al-Nisâ’: 1] Allah also says: “O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honorable of you with Allah is the one who is the most God-fearing.” [Sûrah al-Hujûrât:13]
.............................. We also know from revelation that the world was already in existence and populated with living organisms before Adam and Hawwâ’s (Eve) arrival upon it. The Qur’ân and Sunnah do not tell us much about the flora and fauna present on the Earth at the time of their arrival, nor does it tell us how long ago they arrived. Therefore, these are things we cannot ascertain from the sacred texts.
.............................. We know that Allah created everything, including all of the animals. However, the Qur’ân and Sunnah do not tell us in great detail how the creation of these things was carried out and on what timescale. Yes, the Qur’ân tells us that the heavens and the Earth were created in six days, here the word in Arabic means period or phases, so the scholars concede that we cannot be sure about the duration of these days. The days are not like the days of present-day world. Allah says Universe and the earth was created in six phases.
Allah said how the universe was created. …………………… Quran says that "the heavens and the earth were joined together as one unit, before We clove them asunder" (21:30).
“And the heaven We created with might, and indeed We are (its) expander.” (Quran 51:47)
...................... "It is He Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course" (21:33).
“He (God) is the Originator of the heavens and the earth…” (Quran 6:101).
“Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes; and He is the Knowing Creator. His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” (Quran 36:81-82) ................................................
Before prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Pbuh) prophets were sent for a particular place or for a particular tribe or for a particular nation, they were not sent for the whole mankind. It is Hazrat Muhammad ( pbuh) who was sent for the whole mankind. .................. Those prophets who came for a particular nation is mentioned in the Quran. For example Moses came for bani Israel's. That’s why name of those nations came in the Quran in order to describe about those prophets. Here no one was more fortunate or unfortunate. None of them carrying any extra value in the eye of Allah. Those prophets naturally prayed for their nations they were sent for, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) prayed for the whole mankind till the last day. And this last prophet said in His last sermon no one is superior in the eyes of Allah, Allah only counts who is more pious.
