Qur'an and Islam acknowledges all the prophets from Abraham to Moses to Jesus (many more names are explicitly mentioned but it also states many more are not) and other revelations before Islam and goes on to declare that Mohammad is God's last and final messenger.. Muslims's two biggest festivals are Eid.. 1st one is known as Eid ul Fitr,(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_ul-Fitr) celebration after 30 days of Ramadan, fasting.. But the 2nd one is more interesting in that it celebrates an event that predates Islam.. Eid al Adha actually celebrates Abraham (Ibrahim) when he was tested by God to sacrifice in the name of God what was most dear to him etc.. en.wikipedia.org Jesus is acknowledged as a Prophet but not as a son of God.. Because one of the aayat (declarations in Qur'an) explicitly states the following.. 112 Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.
