Islam (Final Revelation)

الإسلام

Revelation 610-632 CE (13 BH - 11 AH)

The final and complete form of the one religion of all prophets, revealed to Muhammad ﷺ over 23 years. It restores pure Tawheed and confirms and supersedes earlier scriptures.

Biography

From the Islamic perspective, Islam is not a new religion but the final renewal of the din of Adam, Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa and Isa (42:13; 2:136). 'Indeed the religion with Allah is Islam' (3:19). It was perfected at the Farewell Pilgrimage: 'This day I have perfected for you your religion' (5:3). The Quran describes itself as a guardian (muhaymin) over earlier scriptures (5:48) and Muhammad ﷺ as the Seal of the Prophets (33:40) sent to all mankind (34:28).

Its primary sources are the Quran and the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ. Its core beliefs are Tawheed, prophethood, angels, revealed books, the Last Day and divine decree; its practice rests on the five pillars (Sahih Bukhari 8; Sahih Muslim 16). Phase 4 traces how the single early community later produced political dynasties and schools of thought.

Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza's perspective

Methodological note (not a direct quote): Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza's widely known approach is to build narratives primarily on the Quran and Sahih Hadith, to set aside Israiliyat (Judeo-Christian lore absorbed into later tafsir) and weak or fabricated narrations, and to avoid sectarian framing. Applied to this node: Islam is presented as the return to the original Tawheed of all prophets, judged by the Quran and Sahih Hadith rather than by any later sect.
