Prophets are Brothers
The prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one
*** prophets are brothers ***
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم “ أَنَا أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ، وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ إِخْوَةٌ لِعَلاَّتٍ، أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ شَتَّى، وَدِينُهُمْ وَاحِدٌ ”
“ Both in this world and in the Hereafter, I am the nearest of all the people to Jesus, the son of Mary. The prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one.”
— Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)
Sahih al-Bukhari 3443
*** this make sense to me ***
The same God, who taught Jesus Christ ,Peace Be Upon Him, not to eat pork, to greet each other with peace, to wash his face, hands, and feet before prayer and to pray with his head to the ground, also taught Prophet Muhammad ,Peace Be Upon Him, and his followers the same.
{ Verily, We have inspired you (Muhammad) as We inspired Noah and the prophets after him, and as We inspired Abraham, and Ishmael, and Jacob, and the tribes, and Jesus, and Job, and Jonas, and Aaron, and Solomon; and to David did We give the Psalms }
The Quran 4:163
( Then We inspired you (Muhammad) saying, “Follow the religion of Abraham, as one by nature upright. He was not of the idolaters.” )
The Quran 16:123
The path of Abraham is usually called the “straight path,” implying that it is the only one, truly upright way to follow.
