The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the prophets, “Their religion is one, but their laws are different.” Is there a difference between religion and law?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the hadith of Abu Hurayrah, agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the prophets: “Their religion is one, but their laws are different.” Is there a difference between the religion of the prophets and their laws?

Answer:
Yes, yes. Religion means creed. Religion is creed and tawhid (the oneness of Allah), which is one for all the prophets. They all came with tawhid and the prohibition of shirk (associating partners with Allah); they all came with this. As for the laws, they are according to the interests of the servants. Allah legislates a law, then abrogates it with another law, until Islam came. So it abrogated all the laws, and Islam settled in the law of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: . The laws referred to are the practical laws regarding what is lawful and forbidden, and what is commanded and prohibited. Yes.
