Islam is the only religion to believe in ALL of the messengers and Prophets (peace be upon them) that Allah swt sent to this world .
The teachings of those prophets (peace and blessings of Allah be upon them) before him have either disappeared altogether from the world, or whatever of them remains is not pure and is found intermingled with many erroneous and fictitious statements.
For this reason, even if anyone wishes to follow their teachings, he cannot do so.
The teachings of Prophet Muhammad SAW, his biography, his way of living, his morals, his habits, and his virtues — in short, all the details of his life and work — are preserved to this day.
Prophet Muhammad SAW, therefore, is the only one of the whole line of prophets who is a living personality, and in whose footsteps it is possible to follow correctly and confidently to have a chance of success in this world and in the hereafter.
Jaabir ibn ‘Abdullah RA reported that the Prophet Muhammad SAW said, “I have been given five (endowments or distinctions) which no other Prophet before me was given: 1) I have been made victorious with terror for the distance of one month (i.e. all people and armies within that range are terrified to go to war with the Prophet SAW); 2) the earth has been made as a Masjid (mosque) and pure place for me; 3) the spoils of war have been made lawful for me, and they were not made lawful to anyone before me; 4) I have been granted the intercession; 5) and a Prophet would be sent (only) to his people, whereas I have been sent to all peoples.”
Bukhari and Muslim
Another narration, ‘Abdullah ibn Salaam RA related that the Prophet Muhammad SAW said, “I am the chief of the children of Adam AS, and no pride or haughtiness; I am first for whom the earth will split open (on the day of resurrection when we are raised from our graves) I am the first to intercede and the first whose intercession will be granted; and in my hand will be the banner of Al-hamd (the praise) – even Adam (AS) and those below him (will be under it).”

Allah swt completed your religion , the day he had fully revealed islam to you.
Allah swt says : And He, Most High says: { Today, I have perfected for you your Religion, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your Religion }
(The Holy Qur'an 5:3)
he has made it plain that the only religion acceptable to Him is Islam, that is the religion that completes your faith in this world and the next.
Allah says: To those who reject Our Signs, and treat them with arrogance, no opening will there be for them of the Gates of Paradise, nor will they enter Paradise until the camel can pass through the eye of a needle: Such is Our Reward for those who sin
(The Holy Qur'an 7:40)]
The Quran is the only holy book still in its pure form.
He who follows Prophet Muhammad SAW follows all the prophets, for whatever was good and eternally workable in their teaching has been embodied in Muhammad's SAW teachings.
You should realise that, on the Day of Judgement, everyone will be held accountable for his deeds. None will be excused and none will be able to blame others for leading him astray.
