Prophet Muhammad- The Message
The messengers and prophets were sent for nations their guidance. Allah says: “For We assuredly sent amongst every People a Messenger “Serve Allah and eschew Evil”..”(Qur’an;16:36, 10:47). Beginning with the first human and Prophet Adam (peace be upon him), there has been many messengers and prophets from Noah (peace be upon him) through Abraham (peace be upon him),Ishamael, Isaac, Jacob,David, Moses & Jesus Christ for their respective nations. All the Messengers preached monotheism [Tawheed]. They conveyed good news to mankind and admonished them so that, after conveying the message through the Messengers, people should have no excuse to plead against Allah.(Qur’an;4:165). Previously the messengers were sent for the particular nation or community for particular time. However this system of messengers came to end with the last Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Muslims while believing in all the previous messengers of God and scriptures, adhere to the message preached by the last Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and The Qur’an as the final uncorrupted holy scripture not restricted to any particular race but for the guidance of whole humanity, while superseding all the previous scriptures.
At the end of his last sermon during last Hajj (632 C.E) the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
“Remember, one day you will appear before Allah and answer for your deeds. So beware, do not astray from the path of righteousness after I am gone. O’ People, no messengers orrophet will come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore, O’ People, and understand my words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the Qur’an and my example, the Sunnah and if you follow these you will never go astray. All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my witness oh Allah that I have conveyed your message to your people.”
History is witnessto the fact that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did convey the Message very effectively and successfully. Before his demise Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) being universal messenger of God for the humanity, extended the invitation of Islam to the neighboring Kings and rulers through epistles and emissaries. The most prominent are, Hercules the Eastern Roman Emperor (610-641 C.E), Khusro Parvaiz of Perisa, Najashi, the King of Abyssinia, rulers of Bahrain and Oman. He died in 632 C.E at Medina.
