Today, we will discuss about what s religion from Propeths before Islam? And, it is true they are Muslims?  Why they sended by Allah to differents ethnic and teaching from Allah Subhanahuwataala before Islam have character ethnic religion? We will discuss it and please read this article until end, for get complete information about this topic. But, before this, please subscribe my blog for more information about Islamic History.

Allah Subhanahuwataala s teaching before Islam, have character ethnic religion. All propeth sended to a ethnic group with language from this group. It is recorded at QS.Ibrahim: 4:
وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا بِلِسَانِ قَوۡمِهِۦ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمۡۖ فَيُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُوَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ

And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to state clearly for them, and Allah sends astray [thereby] whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

It is mean, propeths before Islamic Era, sended to differents group with teaching according language of this ethnic groups. Example, Propeth Musa Alaihissalam sended to Hebrew People, Allah Subhanahuwataala revealed to him Book Of Torah. Torah, revealed by Hebrew Language , because Propeth Musa Alaihissalam sended to society that speak in Hebrew. Propeth Ismail Alaihissalam, son from Propeth Ibrahim sended to Arabian.  Exception for Propeth Ibrahim Alaihissalam. Propeth Ibrahim Alaihissalam, ever preach to several states: incluede Ur ( Babylon), Palestine,  and Mecca.  Propeth Huud Alaihissalam sended to Tribes Of Ad ( Old Arabian) at Ahqaf. All propeths, sended to different society with different holy book also. We know Propeth Musa has a Holy Book Torah,  Propeth Isa Alaihissalam with holy book, named Gospel/Injil. Propeth Ibrahim Alaihissalam with holy book Shuhuf.

And also, Propeth Daud Alaihissalam has a holy book, named Zabur/ Mazmur. This book, contained songs that sing at religion ceremony.

But, we often hear lecture, all of Propeths before Rasulullah Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam are Muslims. What the meaning?  This is contain from QS.Al-Baqara: 132:
وَوَصَّىٰ بِهَآ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ بَنِيهِ وَيَعْقُوبُ يَـٰبَنِىَّ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰ لَكُمُ ٱلدِّينَ فَلَاتَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ

This was the advice of Ibrahim—as well as Yaqub—to his children, ˹saying˺, “Indeed, Allah has chosen for you this faith; so do not die except in ˹a state of full˺ submission.”

What is the mean? Why they called as Muslims? And Islam Religion exist since Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam s era. According Historian and Quran Interpreter Ibn Kathir, this mean ‘Muslim’ at this is all ethnic groups who  follow their propeths and their holy books, not enough specific notes about name of Hebrew Religion at era of Propeth Musa Alaihissalam and name from religion that teaching by Propeth Ibrahim Alaihissalam . Name Jewish/ Judaism for religion that  embraced by Hebrews People , appear at 538 AD, far after die of Propeth Musa Alaihissalam. At this time, King Qurisy/ Chirus The Great Of Persia give a name from Hebrew People as Jew and their religion with name of Judaism, follow name one of last Hebrew s tribe, Tribes Of Yehuda. Name Of Christian to Propeth Isa Alaihissalam s follower s religion , given by Roman Historian Cornelius Tacitus ( 56-120 M) from Propeth Isa Alaihissalam title that given by Roman, Christ.  And all of Propeths, teach his group to worship Allah Subhanahuwataala. Before this, they called as Muslims.

This interpretation supported by Imam Zamakhsari. This point, at the past, Propeth s teaching maybe different with his groups language and his groups condition. But this point is same, worship and obey to Allah Subhanahuwataala.
