“O Mankind! The
Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe, then, for
your own good! And if you deny the truth
- behold, unto God belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth,
and God is indeed all-knowing, wise!” (Quran 4:170)
God invites all human beings to accept Muhammad as His “Messenger” who brought
truth from his Lord. A “messenger” of
God, in Islamic doctrine, is more than a prophet. A prophet is essentially someone who
foretells the future. A “messenger” is a
moral teacher appointed by God to carry the divine message to others based on
revelation he receives. The reception of
‘message’ from God is termed ‘revelation.’
Islamic tradition views all ‘messengers’ as prophets, but all prophets
are not considered ‘messengers.’
Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace be upon them, are viewed as
messengers.
Why should someone accept Muhammad as God’s
messenger? Muhammad was a fulfillment of
the biblical prophecies of Moses and Jesus.
Muhammad had an impeccable character and lived a perfect life that has
been preserved like no other man’s. His
religious teachings and morals are the best solution to modernity’s
predicaments. The Quran, the scripture
he brought from God to the world, is an inimitable literary miracle and the
only world scripture that has been preserved word by word. In short, everything about him and from him
is simply true. Those who do not know
this man are invited to learn more about him, as God Himself has announced that
belief in Muhammad is better for the person’s own good. If he does so, he will live a happy, disciplined existence
in this life, and after death he will live for eternity in Paradise. If someone chooses to reject him (and,
consequently, the One who sent him), it will not harm God or His messenger in
anyway, but rather only harm the one who rejects. Everything in the universe belongs to God, He
knows everything and is wise in what He commands and creates.
