Historical background of religions and faith God has sent Prophets to this world from time to time to guide humankind. Religious preachers say that God always sent a prophet in times when there was anarchy social injustice and other societal problems. Or in other words whenever people started to forget God's commands and became companions of the devil- God reminded them about the true purpose of their lives through the Prophets. In such a sinful society the need of a Prophet - a messenger of God - always was felt and accordingly he was sent to the rescue and guide of people to understand the difference between right and wrong. Some of those prophets came with revealed books these are the books which known to be God's own writing. The names of these revealed books are Torah Zaboor Injeel and the Quran.

First came the Moses and his followers kept themselves attached to his name. They didn't convert into Christianity when Prophet Jesus came with the message of God. So the people who became followers of Prophet Jesus didn't accept the message Prophet Muhammad. They all preached same message of God but as people kept themselves apart from other prophet's followers hence we have so many religions today. It is said that God sent almost 1 24 000 prophets for the guidance of humankind.
