Is Islam the last religion?

There were many religions in this world since Adam but if we look at it closely and study we will find out that Islam was basically the only religion. All religions sent by God were almost the same. If we study all the religions of God carefully, we will see the similarities. This does not mean that the religions are just a copy of each other. What this mean is that they all are from a single source. Islam was the last religion sent by God to this universe through Prophet Muhammad. As per the Holy Quran, which is the Holy book of Islam, Prophet Muhammad is the prophet of God and there will be no more prophets after him. Also, Islam is the complete and final religion and there will be no new religions sent by God.

One of the major issues with religion is that a lot of people and communities have made their own concepts and traditions and then named them as their religion. Those are not true religions. A true religion comes from God who is one and only. Confusion between religions is very easy but someone who is literate and has the correct understanding of what is right and what is wrong would always study the religions before accepting what is being said.

Another major issue with religions is the originality. All religions sent by God before Prophet Muhammad gave the same message as Islam but the originality was lost. Changes were made to the books and the messages sent by the previous prophets. The rulers of the time in many cases made adjustments to the religion to fit their needs. All this as per Islam makes those religions false. Once they were maybe sent by God but now since they do not exist in their original form. They are no longer the true religions.

The basic principle of Islam is to understand and accept the unquestionable fact that God is only one with no one to share with, Prophet Muhammad is the prophet of God and he is the last prophet and there will be no more prophets. Prophet Muhammad made this clear and its clear in the Quran, as well.

Now, Islam teaches to look and be prepared for the Day of Judgment. As per Islam, there will be no new religions from God and the next step of God will be the end of this Universe where God will be the judge of the entire universe. The core Islamic teaching explains that the purpose of this life is to get ready and be prepared for the life after the Day of Judgment and that this life is very short compared to that live which will have no end.

One important teaching of Islam is that there will be a lot of false prophets and religions as the world comes near the end, and this is something that we are seeing now very often. There were many false prophets and religions in different parts of the world and in many cases most of them do manage to get a lot of following by misleading the people, but eventually the truth does come out and people see the true face of those false prophets. In most cases, these are steps to stop the growth of Islam and to make Muslims believe in something that they should not. But one thing we should always remember that Allah has promised in the Quran that he will be taking care of his religion and his book – the Quran – himself.
