Yet you could say they believed in Christ as the One Who Is To Come: they believed prospectively. They saw Him from afar: and He was their Savior.The rules of this forum specifically say that mind-reading is not allowed. ;-)
Joking aside, that would be exactly what I would say. They trusted in God's provision, His Messiah, whom we know now as Jesus.

I didn't know that Muslims believe they love Allah and in so doing Allah loves them in return. I was under the impression that Allah was supposedly so transcendent that there is no personal relationship between them. I didn't know that the Koran has verses that say that Allah loves them.
If that's the case then your argument makes a lot of sense.
Thank you for your reply.
Cordially,

Qur'an 85:14 Pickthall
"And He is the Forgiving, the Loving"
Qur'an 11:90 Pickthall
"Ask pardon of your Lord and then turn unto Him (repentant). Lo! my Lord is Merciful, Loving."
Qur'an 2:165 Pickthall
"Yet of mankind are some who take unto themselves (objects of worship which they set as) rivals to Allah, loving them with a love like (that which is the due) of Allah (only) - those who believe are stauncher in their love for Allah - Oh, that those who do evil had but known, (on the day) when they behold the doom, that power belongeth wholly to Allah, and that Allah is severe in punishment!"
