Well, you can say that Islam is the last Abrahamic religion sent by GOD.
Actually, there is one and only one religion in the world, which is "Submission to GOD", but because of the wisdom of GOD, the rules that must govern our lives were not sent one time, they were sent gradually according to the place and time period, this because of the human nature.
So GOD sent a lot of messengers and prophets to teach the same message. Islam was the religion that completed the message and corrected everything and put it in the straight way. And Mohammed was the last messenger and prophet sent by GOD.
So Islam is the last "Abrahamic religion" sent to people.
GOD bless you
Sincerely

I believe that Islam was sent to humankind by God, but I do not believe it is the last ever, nor do I believe that the Holy Qur'an is the last of His revelation.
Rather, I believe that ALL religions are one, the same religion of God, UNFOLDED OVER TIME. God has revealed to us His Word as man has been able to accept it. It's been in stages, and will continue to be in stages. Even the Qur'an isn't complete when it comes to God's revelation. The Qur'an says that even if all 7 oceans were ink, it wouldn't be enough for God to give us His Word. His Word is INFINITE, so His religion will ALWAYS unfold over time. There will always be Messengers and new unfoldings of His religion, revealed over time.
I'm a Bahá'Ã, and totally believe in Progressive Revelation.
P.S. Btw people, let's not trip over an Arabic word. The word "Allah" is a combination of the words "al" (the) and "illah" (god), and put together, it's pronounced Allah, with the stress being on the SECOND syllable, and not the first, as the West always mispronounces.
Allah is the Arabic word for "the God" which would be like saying Gott (German), Dio (Italian), Dios (Spanish), Deus (Portuguese), etc etc. These are words in different languages which mean the SAME THING.
"Eloi eloi lama sabachthani" - words of Lord Jesus, meaning "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Aramaic and Arabic are similar, so to say in Aramaic "my God" one would say, "Eloi." Sounds similar to Allah, right? That's because the two languages are related, both are Semitic languages. You see? It's just a language thing, let's not allow it to trip us up.
Besides, the Arabic speaking Christians, Jews and Bahá'Ãs call Him Allah as well. Therefore, Allah IS THE SAME GOD AS THE CHRISTIANS AND JEWS..... and Bahá'Ãs!
(Yes, there are Arabic speaking Bahá'Ãs.)

Being a muslim, yes. Though I don't see what benefit your question can actually produce as it invites people who attack Islam.
To the Christian brothers who says that Islam is from the devil, I say "Please learn about Islam". If anything we are the farthest away from what the devil would want. We have many restrictions, why would satan want to restrict us from getting drunk? And why do we pray to God Almighty asking him for refuge from satan. so satan is telling us to ask God to protect us from him?
And to those who say Allah is a moon god, just look at arabic Bible. The word Allah is used for God. The world Allah is an arabic contraction of Al 'ilah. Which means The God. Al meaning 'The' and 'ilah meaning 'God'.

I believe it is, and not only that, it was the first message sent by Allah (swt) to Prophet Adam (pbuh). Unlike other religions, Islam is a name that came from Allah (swt).
The Religion before Allah is islam (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account. (Quran 3:19)
Islam means submission to Allah (swt).
All other religions have no meaning in their name, rather they are named either after people like Christianity ( Jesus Christ (pbuh)) or after a tribe like the Jews.

Being a muslim - yes I do. The Qu'ran is the third and final revelation to man, the first being the Torah and the second being the Bible. But unlike the earlier holy books, the Qu'ran was not left for man to protect, but instead Allah (subhaan wa'atalah) vowed to protect it Himself to avoid any corruption of the text due to human error, intentional or not.
[We have sent down the Reminder, and We will preserve it.] (Al-Hijr 15: 9).
Allah promised to protect it.
Unlike the Torah and the Bible which was not revealed until decades after their revelations were noted down, the Qu'ran was revealed to everyone, at the same time that it was revealed to our Prophet (sallahu alayhi wasallam). Identified by many scholars, the previous holy texts are neither complete nor accurate. But with the Qu'ran, many of the companions of our Prophet (sallahu alayhi wasallam) memorised the entire Qu'ran, or chapters of the Qu'ran, as a precautionary step in the case of the texts being tampered with, so that the revelation would remain accurate and pure.
Allah knows best. Ameen.

Islam is a "carryover" religion like all other modern religions on this planet. Religions are always evolving and will continue to do so until the end of humans.

The Islamic moon God Allah is as false as the Jewish God--who--in a previous religion was Yahweh the Storm God of the Kennites.

No, Islam is a lie. God does not talk to people, let alone send warning messages... people who hear voices are mentally ill and anyone who believes them are delusional.

I believe Islam is satan's religion. It has a false prophet, a false god, and leads people away from the only true savior, Jesus Christ.
That is what satan desires to do, above all things.
