Ever since the creation of "man" to the communities of people who settled in different lands, God has been sending His messengers or prophets to guide them along the “right path” which is "Islam" and be a "Muslim" which means "Submission to the one true and only Creator". However when prophets passed away, people who followed them differed among themselves in the understanding of the Guidance they had received from God through those prophets. Sometimes, the wicked and selfish among them, deliberately distorted the “true religion” out of their mutual ill will or to satisfy their greed.
It was that way new religions took place. Still, God sent prophets again to call people back to the “original pure religion”. Nevertheless, these prophets were often treated with contempt and derision by their people. again, God kept sending His prophets to teach people the “true religion”, as it was constantly being replaced by the innovations of mankind.
Later, when human culture and civilization came of age, and the new ways of printing and communication was at its best, God sent His last prophet, Muhammad (p) to fulfill what the earlier prophets (Moses, Noah Jesus and so on) had been teaching. He was given the Holy Qur'an, the final Book of revelation, which God promised to safeguard from all change or corruption. .
In fact the Religion taught by all the prophets was Islam(submission to God) the faith all previous prophets/religions originally taught, though later their followers attributed their religions to the names of the prophets or so-called founders of those religions. Some even made such attributions to the names of the land where those prophets lived. Thus it was that Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Judaism and Christianity were born.
That provides an explanation to the other thread where you mentioned the Buddha teachings being similar to that of Jesus'. You should not be surprised if you came across 2 religions being very similar because at one point All religions taught the same belief (submission to God AKA Islam) and had the same God though later changed by mankind
Islam the First and last religion Of God (submission to him) is unique in that it is NOT named after any person, Tribe, Region or Culture. It is not Mohammedinity like Christianity Its not Meccanism like Judaism, Islam is what the original Followers of Moses and the Original followers of Jesus once were, Muslims, Belivers who submit to the one and true God. Islam is named after a belief in one God(Allah), and submission to His will. The religion all prophets of God once taught.
No religion Exploded like Islam in that short amount of time, Truth stands out from error, Ever since Islam was finally revealed it has remained the fastest growing religion and will remain the fastest growing religion in the world. People embrace Islam by the millions each year from all walks of life especially in the Westen World. This can't be argued, this is fact here. The same can't be said about any other religion. For that reason I believe people are being guided to the unchanged truth all religions once taught.
