قُلۡ ءَامِنُواْ بِهِۦٓ أَوۡ لَا تُؤۡمِنُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ مِن قَبۡلِهِۦٓ إِذَا يُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ يَخِرُّونَۤ لِلۡأَذۡقَانِۤ سُجَّدٗاۤ
[45]. The righteous among the People of the Scripture—Jews and Christians—are those who recognize the truth contained in the Qur’an.
Abraham fell upon his face before God (see Genesis 17:3, 17). Moses, too, often fell on his face in prayer. These are the very gestures of devotion that Muslims still perform today—bowing and prostrating before the Creator in humility.
Likewise, in Matthew 26:39, it is written that Jesus “fell on his face and prayed.” This is the same posture of worship that God has ordained for Muslims. Again, Matthew 26:44 describes Jesus praying face down on the ground in submission and reverence to Allāh. If human beings lower themselves before earthly kings, how much more fitting it is to bow and prostrate before the Lord who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, who knows all that people conceal or reveal. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allāh, the Lord of the Great Throne.
All the prophets were, in essence, Muslims—those who submitted their wills to God (Elah, Alaha, Allāh). Consider Abraham: what faith could he have followed before Judaism and Christianity came into being? His way was pure submission to his Lord.
The names Judaism and Christianity arose later as human designations. But the religion of submission itself—Islam—was named by the Lord of all worlds. True peace comes through surrendering one’s will to the Creator, and that is the meaning of Islam.
In Hebrew, the root Sh-L-M forms shālom (peace) and mushlam (whole or complete). In Arabic, the root S-L-M forms salām (peace) and muslim—one who attains peace by submitting to God. Thus, the message of all prophets is one and the same: submission to the One God, leading to peace, safety, and wholeness.
All prophets bowed and prostrated in humility before Allāh, showing the same essence of worship that Islam preserves.
The core message has always been monotheism —the oneness of God and surrender to His will.
The Hebrew and Arabic roots for peace and submission share the same spiritual meaning, expressing harmony between belief and obedience.
Islam is not a man-made label but a divinely appointed path of peace through submission to the Creator. And the Muslims are those who follow this path.
