Question:
We begin this episode, may Allah bless you and reward you, with what one of the brothers sent. He says: He asks about the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Ali 'Imran 3:19]. [Ali 'Imran 3:19] He asks about this verse, may Allah bless you, and what is the position of Islam regarding other religions?
Answer:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2]. And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. The saying of Allah the Exalted [Ali 'Imran 3:19] is news from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, about the religion that He accepts and loves, which is Islam. The interpretation of Islam is that it is submission to Allah through the oneness of Allah (tawhid), obedience to Him through compliance, and disavowal of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and its people. This is Islam, and it is the religion of all the Prophets, peace be upon them, all of them. Their religion is Islam, even though their laws differed according to the needs of the people, but the creed is one: the creed of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is the creed of all the Prophets. And Islam is what Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, legislated in every age according to its requirements; all of it is Islam. Yes.

(1) In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. (2) [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds -
