Well, different in this regard is that the Qur'an itself, which is the collection
of revelations revealed to the Prophet Muhammad -- all of the previous messengers
that you mentioned being involved with what's known as Judaism - Moses, Aaron, and others
- or with Christianity - Jesus - as being, number one,
Prophets. That is, they are people who are chosen by
God to be receptacles of His Message. And number two,
as Muslms - but not in the sectarian sense - but in the
sense being people who submitted to the Will of God. Anyone
who submits to the Will of God is a Muslim. That's what
the term "Muslim" means. Now, the Qur'an presents all of the
Prophets as having taught the three basic premises that
I mentioned earlier (that i) there is no god but God,
that ii) that particular prophet happened to be the Messenger
of God, and that iii) beyond this earthly existence
there is another existence). Now, beyond that there
are all kinds of particulars that may relate to a
specific historical era or a particular place or time
or culture. These kinds of things may differ from prophet
to prophet, but the basic message of monotheism, of prophecy,
of resurrection and judgement - these are all
the same.
