The answer is as I stated already: Keeping with God's commandments makes one a Muslim - automatically.

That is absolutely ridiculous.

First of all, Abraham was pre-law, meaning he had no law or commandments to obey. Hebrews 11 tells us that he was justified before God by his faith, not by any law.

Moses had a set of commandments, but they aren't used verbatim by the Muslims. One major point is that that the Jews were told to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. The Jews uses Saturday as their Sabbath. Tell us what day the Muslims use, and do they call it the Shabbat?

As Jesus had to explain to those wise guys who did not get it: God's commandments boil down to two. Love God and love your neighbor. Moses had to break it down, but Abraham kept with this basic law, which was known to Noah, Abraham, David, Jacob, Joseph, you name it.

Muslims use Friday, and it's called Juma. Who cares what the day was? Giving yourself, your workers, and your animals a day off, and taking the opportunity to meditate is what it's about. Another way to love God and your neighbor.

Why don't you tell me which commandment of Moses is not followed by the Muslims?
