Can I use use the analogy of the sun for you?
The "SUN" of today is called Friday. The SUN of yesterday was called Thursday and the SUN of tomorrow will be called Saturday. Same SUN different names.
Can we criticize the sun of yesterday for not shining any more? Of course not.
What matters is the heat and light that the SUN brings to the world, which are the cause of physical life. Not the different names by which we call it?
In the spiritual world Moses was the sun of 6000 years ago, Jesus was the SUN of 2000 years ago and Mohammed the sun of 1400 years ago. Their teachings were the cause of life for mankind.
Divine guidance is PROGRESSIVE and never ending. If it should stop it would be like the sun not giving light any more, all things would die.
In the Bible we have the proof of this progressive revelation. In there we find a succession of Divine Messengers like Abraham, Moses, Jesus Christ all of them educating PROGRESSIVELY mankind as he grows.
Shouldn't we ask ourselves then: Has this process of education stopped permanently with the coming of Moses or Jesus or Mohammed?
Every religion claims that the process stopped with the coming of their own revelation.
Can it be right? Can the sun stop shining?

Judaism follows the first five books of the Bible. It is the earliest of the three, dating back a couple thousand years before Christianity. They don't really have a concept of "The Devil" as a personification of evil. They believe a "Messiah" will come, but they don't recognize Jesus as being him.
Christianity follows the Old and New Testament. It started a few decades after Jesus died, if he existed at all. It was just another of many such religions that started up at the time. Constantine gave it a huge boost then he made it a state religion, and later held the Council of Nicaea to come up with an official version of the Bible around 325 AD.
Islam follows the Quran. It was started a thousand years after Chrstianity. It is loosely based on Christianity and Judaism. They believe that Jesus was a prophet, but that Mohammed was the last prophet. They think the Bible has been corrupted somewhat and think the Quran clarifies it.

It all got underway with Abraham ....good guy.
God told him the messiah would be a decendant of his.
But Abraham was childless.
Since he was a tad old (almost past ability to get someone pregnant) he took it upon himself to produce a child with his maidservant.
Ishmael was born.
God told Abraham "No. No. No. The child must come from your wife."
Isaac was born.
The two boys didn't get along well.
Ishmael's descendants became the Arabs (generally speaking) who mostly adopted Islam.
Isaac's descendants became the Israelites (Jews) and from the Israelite nation, Jesus (the messiah) came ....and he started what we call Christianity.
The Jews, generally, never accepted Jesus, so they are still waiting for the messiah.
The Christianity started by Jesus got corrupted as predicted ....Acts 20:29,30.
Islam is a very severe religion that has a problem not being understanding toward anyone not of their religion.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE ORIGINAL JEWS AND CHRISTAINS BELIEVED IN THE ONE-GOD AND THE PROPHETS BUT THRU OUT TIME THE BOOKS HAS BEEN CORRUPTED TO SUITE MANS DESIRES.ISLAM IS THE SAME THING BUT HAS NEVER BEEN CORRUPTED WELL AT LEAST THE QURAN HAS NEVER BEEN RE-WRITTEN AND CORRUPTED.BUT THE SAME BELIEF IS THERE.
The 'Five Pillars' of Islam are the foundation of Muslim life:
1.Faith or belief in the Oneness of God and the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad;
2.Establishment of the daily prayers;
3.Concern for and almsgiving to the needy;
4.Self-purification through fasting; and
5.The pilgrimage to Makkah for those who are able.
The six PILLARS of belief are:
1. Belief in God (Allah), the one and only one worthy of all worship (tawhid).
2. Belief in all the Prophets (nabi) and Messengers (rusul) sent by God.
3. Belief in the Books (kutub) sent by God (including the Qur'an).
4. Belief in the Angels (mala'ika).
5. Belief in the Day of Judgment (qiyama) and in the Resurrection (life after death).
6. Belief in Destiny (Fate) (qadar)
The Ten Commandments given to Moses are these: (abbreviated form)
1. You shall not worship any other god but YHWH.
2. You shall not make a graven image.
3. You shall not take the name of YHWH in vain.
4. You shall not break the Sabbath.
5. You shall not dishonor your parents.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not commit perjury.
10. You shall not covet.

Jews are partners with God to help Him finish His creation.
Christians are waiting for Jesus to return to bring peace on earth which was his only mission in the first place
Muslims can't wait to find out what awaits in the afterlife.

Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ....that is hypocrisy.
They reject Christ's divinity;
they reject his claim to be the Son of God;
they reject his death on the cross...
they reject His ressurrection..
They reject Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...
Need I say more...?
Don't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ .
"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)
