Abrahamic? Am I missing the meaning?

Hi, Seeker! :-)

For the record, I've also seen such short lists that list Jesus' main stress as love, and Muhammad's as submission.

I too have seen the suggestion that love describes Jesus' mission. I personally like forgiveness. For me, it seems to clarify the fact that "forgiveness" did not only pertain to His crucifixation, but was charged to each of us as an expectation of His message.

By the way, I love the "submission" you suggested for Muhammed, but I will still stick with Civil Order. Submission in the message of Muhammed would be that we are expected to submit to God's will, I would think. A powerful message, particularly for a bunch of blood thirsty bandits, as those that he preached to were considered at the time. I believe it was His Civil Order that truly changed the world and still has impact on our lives today.

Seeker of truth, you may use it anyway you like. Like I said, I once put a list together for a public talk I did. The intention was to try to simplify the message of each of the Manifestations so we could get a feeling of similarity rather than trying to insist on their similarities amongst their vast differences today caused by culture and time.

Allah'u'Abha friend.

Indeed, Mick, the very name Islam means "submission!"

Best,
