Islam teaches that [[God]] (in Arabic, ''Allah'') revealed his direct word and commands for mankind to Muhammad (c. 570–632) in the form of the Qur'an (also ''Koran''), and to other [[prophet]]s (including [[Adam]], [[Abraham]], [[Moses]], and [[Jesus]]), many of whom are [[Bible|Biblical]] figures shared with Christianity and [[Judaism]]. Despite admitting the ministry of prophets earlier than Muhammad, Islam asserts that the primary written record of God's revelation to humankind is the Qur'an, which Muslims believe to be flawless, immutable, and the final revelation of God.
Islam has been termed one of the three Abrahamic religions, along with Christianity and JudiasmJudaism. At times, the [[Bahá'í Faith]] is also included.
Islam teaches that parts of the [[Bible]] have been forgotten, misinterpreted, or distorted by Christians and Jews. Given this perspective, Islam views the Qur'an as corrective of Jewish and Christian scriptures.
Muslims do not hold the divinity of [[Jesus Christ]] and his unique salvific role. However, the Quran teaches that Jesus is the Christ, and the teachings son of Islam in this respect have been likened to a compound [[heresy]] composed Mary, the Messenger of elements of [[Arianism]]God. Further, [[Nestorianism]]the Quran says that Jesus was given the Gospel as a Book from God, and [[Docetism]] ("''...They did not kill him [Jesus] came to confirm the Torah, and they did not crucify him, but it also to permit some of what was made to seem so to them..prohibited upon the sons of Israel for some reasons.Muslims don''" Qur'ant believe that Jesus was killed, 4:157), with some [[Pelagianism|Pelagian]] but that God saved His beloved Messenger and also [[Monarchianism|Monarchianistic]] (i.elifted Jesus up to Him.The Quran teaches the Jesus the Christ is a Word from God, anti-Trinitarian)] elementsand a Messenger sent by Him.
Muslims hold that Islam is essentially the same belief as that of all the messengers sent by God to mankind since [[Adam]], with the Qur'an (the one definitive text of the Muslim faith) codifying the final revelation of God. Islam views Judaism and Christianity as incomplete derivatives of the teachings of certain prophets—notably Abraham—and therefore acknowledges their Abrahamic roots, whilst the Qur'an calls them People of the Book.
