    Question: Prophets

    Selamun Aleykum everybody, I was thinking today. Between the time of Hz. Isa (as) and Hz. Muhammad (saw), there was a 600 year gap. 1. Was there any other prophet during that period? 2. What was the correct religion during that period? If it was Judaism and Christianity then does that mean...
