Islam has a propensity for claiming pre-Islamic prophets for its own. I've certainly seen it claimed that Abraham was a Muslim. It's a bit like the Mormons baptising dead people.HomerJay wrote:One thing I think it misses out on is it describes the Night Journey as a visit to the prophets of Islam, but one key element (for me anyway) is that it included Judaic and Christian prophets. This seems important as Mo is able to fly (on a winged horse) back to earth and say he has spoken to Moses, Abraham and Jesus and they all agreed Mo was the latest, greatest and final prophet.
