A.  The Lord wishes all worship him in monotheism. It started with Zoroastrians in an unsophisticated way. The Jews had the most sophisticated communication with the Lord. For it was why they were called the Gods chosen people. Of all the Jews Moses had the most direct and sophisticated relationship with the Lord who they named Yahweh. Jesus the son of god was brought to earth to expand the worship of the one true lord beyond Jews to include Gentiles. The prophet Muhammad with his unique relationship to the Lord who he called Allah. Was born to lead his people to worship the Lord through Monotheism. There will be alignment with all the children of Abraham. It will start with the arrival of the Mahdi also called Imam Zamaan who will usher in a golden age for the Islamic world. Bringing Muslims and Christians closer together. Its often said the Mahdi will either be Jesus or come with Jesus. In fact the Mahdi with his teachings will bring Christians and Muslims closer together. Then will come the arrival of Christ as promised in the old Testament he will bring not only all of Abrahams children closer together but through his majesty and greatness. Will bring all of the Lords children to worship him as the one true lord and creator.
