As a whole, the Quran’s message was much the same as the one that Abraham had brought: there is just one God. Within the Muslim faith, Muhammad is seen as continuing the biblical tradition, as the last in a line of monotheistic prophets stretching back to Adam. “God wanted to be fair with everybody,” explained the Sheikh. “He’s sent different messengers, but the real differences are just about language, or culture, or history. The main message is the same: to believe in God.”
