You’ve raised a profound question.
Allah (SWT) addresses the Children of Israel (Bani Israel) in the Quran, reminding them of their covenant and obligations. However, He doesn’t directly call them “Muslims” because:
1. Historical context: The term “Muslim” specifically refers to those who submit to Allah’s will and follow the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). During the time of Bani Israel, this term wasn’t applicable.
2. Distinct prophetic missions: Although Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) is the common ancestor of both Bani Israel and Bani Ismael (Arabs), their prophetic missions and revelations were distinct. Prophet Musa (Moses) received the Torah for Bani Israel, while Prophet Muhammad (SAW) received the Quran for the Ummah.
However, as you mentioned, Allah (SWT) does remind Bani Israel of their shared Abrahamic heritage:
“Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not among the polytheists.” (Quran 3:67)
This verse highlights the shared values and monotheistic roots of the Abrahamic faiths. You’re correct in saying that these faiths can be seen as sects or branches of the same religious tradition.
In essence, while Bani Israel weren’t directly called “Muslims” in the Quran, they share a common spiritual ancestry with Muslims through Prophet Ibrahim.
