Do you follow the Prophets, or your forefathers? Introspect and answer yourself...

{Say: “We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us and to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the descendants (of Jacob) and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and in what the other Prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are those who submit to Allah (Muslim).”}  Quran - 2:136

To make no distinction between the Prophets means not to hold some of them to be right and the others to be wrong, not to recognize some to have been the recipients of Divine revelation and the others not. All the Prophets sent by God invited men to the same Truth (towards the one of God). Hence for anyone who is really a follower of truth, it is necessary that he should recognize all Prophets to be its bearers. Those who believe in one particular Prophet and disbelieve in others, in fact do not believe even in that particular Prophet in whom they, claim to believe, for they have not grasped the nature of that universal ‘Straight Way’ (al-sirat al-mustaqim) which was revealed by Moses, Jesus, Mohammad and the other Prophets(May peace be upon them all). People who differentiate between prophets actually follow their forefathers, their religion in fact consists of bigoted ancestor-worship and blind imitation of inherited customs rather than sincere adherence to the directives of any Prophet of God.

ALLAH's SPECIAL ADDRESS TO HUMANITY (PART 11) - In the name of Allah and may Allah's blessing be upon the last and final prophet, Mohammadﷺ   { O humanity! Worship your Lord, Who created you and those before you, so that you may become mindful ˹of Him˺. ˹He is the One˺ Who has made the earth a place of settlement for you and the sky a canopy; and sends down rain from the sky, causing fruits to grow as a provision for you. So do not knowingly set up equals to Allah. And if you are in doubt about what We have revealed to Our servant [Mohammadﷺ] ,then produce a sûrah like it and call your helpers other than Allah, if what you say is true. But if you are unable to do so—and you will certainly never be able to do so—then fear the Fire fuelled with people and stones, which is prepared for the disbelievers. Give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to those who believe and do good that they will have Gardens under which rivers flow. Whenever provided with fruit, they will say, “This is what we were ...

Be mindful of your Lord, and beware of a Day when no parent will be of any benefit to their child, nor will a child be of any benefit to their parent. Surely Allah’s promise is true. So do not let the life of this world deceive you, nor let the Chief Deceiver[satan] deceive you about Allah Indeed, Allah ˹alone˺ has the knowledge of the Hour. He sends down the rain, and knows what is in the wombs. No soul knows what it will earn for tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. } Quran 31:33 & 34 Explanation In the present world, people have been given a certain amount of liberty as a means of putting them to the test. Man takes this trial-oriented freedom as the real freedom. This is the greatest illusion. All human evils are born out of this illusion. Apparently, it seems ...
