The Shaykh:
And regarding bowing, do not obey them in that. Yes.
The questioner:
The questioner: Is it correct to say that Judaism is the religion of Moses (peace be upon him), Christianity is the religion of Jesus (peace be upon him), and Hanifiyyah is the religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him)?
The Shaykh:
In principle, yes, Judaism is the religion of Moses in its original form. However, since it was distorted, altered, and things were added to it that do not belong to it, it cannot be said that all of it is the religion of Moses. It is said that its original basis is tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the Shari'ah rulings are the religion of Moses. As for what was introduced into it through distortion, substitution, and change, that is not the word of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
Nor is it part of the religion of Moses (peace be upon him). Likewise, the original basis of Christianity is the religion of Jesus, but the changes and distortions that entered it are not part of the religion of Jesus. Rather, Jesus disavows that. Jesus did not say, "I am the son of Allah" or "one of a Trinity." Rather, the Christians said that, and may Allah protect us from that. The Christians said it, and the Messiah will disavow it on the Day of Resurrection:[Al-Ma'idah 5:116-117] This is the religion of Jesus (peace be upon him). Yes.
And regarding bowing, do not obey them in that. Yes.

when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen. (117) I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.
قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ أَأَنتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُونِي وَأُمِّيَ إِلَٰهَيْنِ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِحَقٍّ إِن كُنتُ قُلْتُهُ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهُ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِي وَلَا أَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ إِلَّا مَا أَمَرْتَنِي بِهِ أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمْ
