Islam Imploding

If Abraham, Moses, and Jesus Were Muslims — Why Does Nothing They Taught Look Like Islam?

Islam teaches that all prophets — including Abraham, Moses, and Jesus — were Muslims. The Quran says:

“Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim…”
— Surah 3:67

“Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.”
— Surah 3:19

But here’s the problem: if Islam really is the one true, unchanging religion sent to every prophet, and if Abraham, Moses, and Jesus were all Muslims, then we must ask:

Where is the Islam they preached?

Because historically, nothing they taught — and nothing their followers practiced — resembles what Muhammad introduced in 7th-century Arabia.

🧩 1. Where Are the Five Pillars Before Muhammad?

Let’s break it down:

Pillar of Islam	Taught by Abraham?	Taught by Moses?	Taught by Jesus?
Shahada (creed)	❌ No such concept	❌ No evidence	❌ Never said it
Salat (5 daily prayers)	❌ Not in Torah	❌ Not in Bible	❌ Never practiced it
Zakat (2.5% almsgiving)	❌ Different systems	✅ General giving	✅ Taught generosity
Sawm (Ramadan fasting)	❌ No Ramadan	✅ Yom Kippur fast	✅ 40-day fast (not Ramadan)
Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca)	❌ Never mentioned Mecca	❌ Never went	❌ Never referenced it

Conclusion: None of these men taught anything even close to the Five Pillars of Islam.

📖 2. The Scriptures They Left Behind Don’t Mention Islam

If Abraham, Moses, and Jesus were Muslims, we would expect:

References to Allah as the name of God
Arabic revelation (Surah 12:2 says Allah only reveals in Arabic)
The word “Islam” itself
Recognition of Mecca or the Kaaba as holy
Any mention of Muhammad as the final prophet

Instead, what we find in the Torah and Gospels are:

Hebrew/Aramaic names for God (YHWH, Elohim, El Shaddai, etc.)
Different religious practices (Sabbath, temple sacrifices, baptism)
Moral law rooted in the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount
No mention of Mecca, the Kaaba, or Islamic rituals
No prediction of a final Arab prophet named Muhammad

🏛️ 3. Islam Looks Like a New Religion, Not a Continuation

Despite the Quran claiming continuity, historical and textual analysis shows Islam is:

Culturally Arabized (with customs like ihram, tawaf, and qibla)
Doctrinally unique (denial of Jesus’ divinity and crucifixion)
Legally distinct (sharia law, hudud punishments)
Theologically self-contained (no need for Torah or Gospel details)

If Islam truly continued the earlier messages, it wouldn’t have to redefine the previous prophets. It would resemble their teachings.

Instead, it rewrites their stories — often in contradiction with established historical and textual records.

🧨 4. The Islamic Rewrite: After-the-Fact Retrojection

Islam retroactively absorbs previous prophets into its narrative by simply declaring:

“They were Muslims”
“Their followers corrupted the message”
“The original Injil and Tawrah are lost”

This is not historical continuity — it’s theological colonization.

When faced with the contradiction between what the prophets actually taught and what Islam claims they taught, Muslim apologists fall back on claim-stacking:

Claim: Jesus was a Muslim.

Objection: But Jesus never taught Islamic doctrines.

Response: The Injil was corrupted.

Objection: Then what proves he was a Muslim?

Response: The Quran says so.

That’s circular reasoning and historically vacuous.

🔍 5. The Logical Problem

Let’s break it down as a syllogism:

Premise 1:

If Abraham, Moses, and Jesus were Muslims, their teachings must align with Islam.

Premise 2:

Their teachings — as preserved in the earliest and best-attested sources — do not align with Islamic doctrine, practices, or theology.

Conclusion:

Therefore, either:

Islam is wrong about their identity, or
The entire historical record is false — which is an extraordinary claim with no evidence.

📚 Summary

Islamic Claim	Historical Reality
Abraham built the Kaaba	No historical or archaeological support
Moses taught Islam	No trace in the Torah
Jesus was a Muslim	Taught the opposite of Islamic theology
Their scriptures were Islamic	Contain different names for God, different laws, no Mecca
The Quran confirms earlier revelation	Contradicts them on core doctrines (e.g. crucifixion)

🧨 Final Verdict

If Abraham, Moses, and Jesus were Muslims, then Islam must match their teachings. It doesn't.

Islam retroactively claims their identity, but none of their preserved words, scriptures, or practices resemble Islam’s Five Pillars, Arabic-centric rituals, or denial of Jesus’ death and divine nature.

What we see is not a continuation — but a replacement.

Islam doesn't confirm their message.

It erases it and rewrites it in its own image.
