Prophethood in the Abrahamic Faiths: A Comparative Study of the Divine Missions and Moral Teachings of Moses (AS), Jesus (AS), and Muhammad (PBUH)

Abstract

As like the concept of God, the concept of prophet hood holds great importance in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The prophets served as God’s messengers for the guidance of humanity toward monotheism, social reform and moral well being. This is a comparative study which examines the teachings and roles of Moses AS, Jesus AS, and Muhammad PBUH and explores their divine missions and excellent values they shared for humanity. Moses AS in Judaism is considered as a leader and lawgiver for the Israelites who provided the foundational moral laws. Jesus AS in Christianity is both a prophet and Messiah who emphasized moral transformation and spiritual salvation. Muhammad PBUH in Islam is the final prophet of God towards humanity whose revelation is the Qur’an that serves as a comprehensive and complete guide for all people and nations of the world. He PBUH refined the some beliefs of Christianity and Judaism which were corrupted by their followers within passage of time. This analysis explores the shared and distinct aspects of prophet hood in Abrahamic Faiths and highlights the importance and impact of these holy figures for the development of faith, societal values and ethics for humanity.
