Question:
Some people say that Judaism and Christianity are celestial religions, but they were distorted, while others say that the only celestial religion is Islam. What is the correct view?
Answer:
Yes, the only religion that Allah has commanded to be followed exclusively is Islam, which Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) brought, and it abrogates the religions that came before it. Therefore, no one follows anyone other than the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He said (peace and blessings be upon him): And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said in describing this Messenger: [Al-A'raf 7:157] It is written with them, among the Jews and the Christians, [Al-A'raf 7:157]. And they supported him and followed the light. Look, they followed the light that was revealed with him: [Al-A'raf 7:157] Those are the successful ones. Success is restricted to those who followed him, while whoever did not follow him is in the Fire and is a loser, whether from the Jews, the Christians, or others. Yes.
