Islam teaches that all messengers including Jesus (Peace be upon him) were sent to their people only (see Mathew), except for the final message God revealed to his messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him.) The book God revealed to him (The Qur'an) is the final message sent to all humanity and will be protected by Him from being lost or changed. It is indeed intended to be the 'everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred and tongue and people.' I do not intend to start a debate, I am simply commenting on this verse. Mamdouh Maher
