You've heard the statement: Don't blindly follow. In the Qur'an, Allah articulates humans as being created the only creatures with reason and that we should use that reason to seek the truth and believe in it. 90 seconds after the Arabic introduction, Ustadh Michael Wolfender describes in English how Allah, over time, sent prophets with the same message: believe in One God. Today, there are Christians, believing in Jesus' original, true message, who support Muslims' belief in monotheism.
Ustadh Michael describes how, after Jesus, people changed the religion and the message he delivered. Indeed, Jesus completed the message delivered to the children of Israel. He declared that after him a final messenger would arrive for all of mankind and to follow Moses' message. Why? Because God has sent the same message for all mankind: worship One who is our Creator.
The superpower in Jesus' time was the Roman Empire, who worshiped idols such as Venus, Neptune, Jupiter and so on. These people added to the religion Jesus brought, including to worship him as God's son. 300 years after him, they made Christianity the state religion with these added beliefs; though, in the Bible, Jesus is recorded saying to 'worship your Lord, He is One.'
To this day, there are Christians who don't agree with perversions to the original Christian message. Brother Michael includes the story of his relatives, as Christians and their beliefs, along with the stories of two early believers in Islam and three duas which helped, in the early days of Islam, to uphold and spread Allah's message.
