how do you know what you worship is true if you respect Jesus for a prophet because the Jewish customs were only ment for Jews only and they had very specific instructions on how to deal with what God told them to do I am a Christian and I think Muhammad is a false prophet. because God was only ment for the Jews and you stole it from them

Hi!
I respect your belief, brother, but the idea that God is only for the Jews is not supported by the broader message of the prophets. In Islam, God is the One Creator of all people, all nations, and all times. Different peoples may call Him by different names, but He is still the same One God of the entire universe.
The prophets did not come to create separate gods for separate groups. They came to guide humanity back to the worship of the One God. Islam teaches that the message was always one: worship God alone and follow His guidance. Over time, however, communities changed, added interpretations, or lost parts of the original message. That is why Muslims believe God sent the final revelation through the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad, peace be upon him, as a final clarification and correction.
As for Jesus, peace be upon him, Muslims honor him deeply as a mighty prophet and Messiah, but not as God Himself. In the Gospels, Jesus prays to God, worships God, and refers to God as greater than himself. A prophet points people to God; he does not become God. That is why Islam sees Jesus as one of the greatest messengers, but still fully human and devoted to the One God.
So the question is not whether God belongs to one people or another. The question is whether we are willing to accept that God has always sent guidance to all humanity. From the Islamic view, He has — and that guidance was completed and preserved in the Qur’an.
As Salaamu Alaykum!

Brother, I understand where you’re coming from, but I have to disagree. God did not begin with the Jews. The Jews were chosen for a specific mission, yes, but the One God created the universe, and indeed existed before Abraham, before Moses, and before the nation of Israel. He is the Creator of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace be upon them all.
Being a descendant of Abraham does not make someone automatically right with God, and not being a descendant of Abraham does not make someone worthless before God. In the Bible itself, God is shown as the God of all nations, not only one people. The prophets repeatedly called humanity to worship the same One God.
If worship were only valid for bloodline, then faith, repentance, and obedience would mean nothing. But the whole message of the prophets is the opposite: God judges people by truth, sincerity, and submission to Him, not by ethnicity.
So no, Islam did not “steal” God from the Jews. Rather, it calls people back to the same eternal God worshiped by Abraham and all the prophets — before any religious nation, before any tribe, before any division among mankind.
The real question is not who can claim descent, but who is truly following the One God who created us all.
