The answer

Islam is submission and obedience to Allah Almighty, acknowledging His Oneness, and humbling oneself before Him by obeying His commands and refraining from His prohibitions. The previous prophets commanded their followers to adhere to it, for the prophets did not differ in the fundamentals and principles of the religion. Rather, their differences were in branches and legislations due to the differing peoples, environments, times, and places. When humanity reached its maturity, Allah Almighty concluded the messages with the message of Muhammad, peace be upon him, for he is the Prophet after whom there is no prophet. Islam does not differ from the religion brought by Jesus, Moses, or other prophets. Rather, Islam differs from corrupted Christianity and Judaism, especially in the area of monotheism and beliefs, while the similarities lie in what remains therein of divine revelation and prophetic guidance.
