Proof that the Message Brought by Muhammad (pbuh) is the Final Message
for All People and that There Will Be No Prophet or Messenger After Him
Allah (Mighty
& Majestic) sent His prophet, Muhammad (pbuh) to the whole of humanity,
sealing thereby all previous messages. He supported him (pbuh) with miracles
and wonders which bear witness to his prophethood and message (pbuh) from Allah
(Noble & Sublime), for no one but a prophet could have produced them.
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said that he was
the Seal of the Prophets, so he (pbuh) is therefore the Seal of the Prophets
and Messengers, because it is common knowledge that every messenger is a
prophet, but not every prophet is a messenger. Allah Almighty has said,
{Muhammad is not the father of any man among you, but he is the Messenger of
Allah, and the Seal of the Prophets.}[Al-Ahzab 33: 40]
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said,
My likeness and the likeness of the prophets is that of a man who built
a house, then finished it and completed it, except the place of one brick
therein, so people took to circling around it and marveling at it, saying: 'If
only this brick would be put into place!' I am that brick.
[Sahih al-Jami` al-Saghir]
Allah's Messenger informed us that he was
sent to the whole of mankind—to all people, everywhere, and for all times,
until the Day of Judgment. Allah Most High has said, {Say, "Oh mankind!
Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah…}[Al-A`raaf 7: 158] and
{And We have not sent you except as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner to
all mankind…}[Saba' 34: 28] Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said, "I was sent to
the red and the black." [Sahih Muslim] In other words, the
Messenger of Allah (pbuh) was sent to all different types, meaning: to all
mankind.
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) fought the Jews
and gained victory over them. He also went to fight the Byzantines in the
Battle of Tabuk, and he returned victorious after they scattered and were too
cowardly to face him (pbuh).
All of this was for the sake of spreading
the message of true monotheism (tawhid) which is pleasing to Allah
(Mighty & Majestic), in order to establish an Islamic domain.
We would like
to point to some aspects of the summarized proof that the prophethood and
message of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to all people sealed the chain of
prophecies and messages, among which is:
1.
The fact that Allah's
Messenger (pbuh) informed us of that, as we have shown with the Noble Quranic
Verses and Honorable Prophetic Hadiths.
Because the prophethood of Allah's
Messenger (pbuh) has been confirmed to us by the miracles, wonders, testimony,
signs, and evidence Allah (Mighty & Majestic) supported him with, among
which is that he (pbuh) is the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers, and that he
(pbuh) was sent to the whole of humanity, and to all people.
2. That
it is from the Ultimate Wisdom of Allah (Mighty & Majestic) that He made
the message to seal all previous messages a global one, for all creation, and
that He made the Prophet who is the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers a
prophet sent to all mankind, for all times and in all places, since the seal of
all messages must necessarily be preserved by Allah (Mighty & Majestic)
from the corruption and alteration of human hands—because there will come no
other Divine Message after it. In other words, this final message is
appropriate for all times, for it must serve mankind in any location and in any
age.
3. The
many, many prophecies foretelling the coming of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in
the Torah, the Gospels, the Hindu scriptures and other books of old:
Since these indicate that the message of
the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was not like any other message; rather it must
necessarily be a universal message—for all mankind—and it must necessarily be a
message to seal all previous messages, since it is preserved and protected by
Allah (Mighty & Majestic) until the Day of Judgment.
That is why there is this great number of
prophecies about Allah's Messenger, Muhammad (pbuh), since there will be no
prophet after him, for he (pbuh) is the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers.
4. The
message of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the sound doctrines he came with:
Allah (Mighty & Majestic) sent the
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) at a time when the whole world was in great need of his
(pbuh) message, when the people had gone astray from the path which would lead
them to their God and Creator (Noble & Sublime), and connect them to each
other, when people had become corrupt and misguided, and had differed and
broken off relations with one another.
Thus, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came
with a message from Allah Almighty to fix the corrupt their beliefs, to heal
their souls, to connect people with each other, and to direct them to
harmonious unity, in synch with their Creator and Maker.
Muhammad's (pbuh) message came containing
pure beliefs any less than which Allah (Mighty & Majestic) would not
accept, and which man was created to accept from his God and Creator (Blessed
& Exalted).
Muhammad's (pbuh) message came with
guiding rites of worship, noble standards of interaction, and upstanding laws
based on goodness, truth, and virtue.
Allah Almighty has said,
{Oh Prophet! Verily, We have
sent you as a witness, and a bearer of glad tidings, and a warner, * And as one
who invites to Allah by His Leave, and as a lamp spreading light.}
[Al-Ahzab 33: 45-46]
Allah Most High has said,
{He commands them to do good
and forbids them from doing evil; he allows them all good things as lawful, and
prohibits all evil things as unlawful; he releases them from their heavy
burdens and from the fetters that were upon them.}
[Al-A`raaf 7: 157]
The Almighty has said,
{Similarly We have sent among
you a Messenger of your own, reciting to you Our Verses and sanctifying you,
and teaching you the Book and the Wisdom, and teaching you that which you used
not to know. * Therefore, remember Me. I will remember you, and be grateful to
Me and never be ungrateful.}
[Al-Baqarah 2: 151-152]
The true, correct belief is what the
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came with.
The Wisdom of Allah (Mighty &
Majestic) willed that the issue of belief is the issue that the call has
undertaken since its first day, that Allah's Messenger (pbuh) took his first
steps on this path by calling the people to testify that there is no true god
but Allah, and that he continued to call the people to know their true Lord and
to worship Him to the exclusion of all others.
Let us contemplate the belief with which
the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came—the beliefs that were a cause of the
improvement of the Muslim people who accepted Islam as their religion, who
embraced and followed its directives, and who held fast to the Book which was
sent down upon their messenger:
-
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) used to call people to
unity of lordship and worship, he used to teach the people about their God and
call them to submit to Him (Glorious & Exalted) Alone, and to single Him
out for worship.
-
He used to teach the people about their Lord
Who created them, fashioned them from nothing, and provided for them, and he
used to deny the existence of any peer or partner beside Him (Noble &
Sublime).
-
He used to call all those who denied His
Existence (Glorious & Exalted) to believe in the Maker of this perfectly
designed universe; he called them to have faith in Allah (Glorious &
Exalted).
-
He called for fighting idols, which the Arabs
and others used to worship even though they knew that they could bring neither
benefit nor harm.
-
He called for fighting everything that was
worshipped beside Allah (Mighty & Majestic), for the Arabs and others used
to worship stones, the Persians worshipped fire, the Jews had taken their
scribes as lords beside Allah (Mighty & Majestic) (since they permitted to
them that which Allah had forbidden and the forbade for them that which Allah
had allowed, and they followed them in that), the Christians worshipped a human
being (the Messiah—a created being who ate, drank, and slept, and other things
that human beings created by Allah (Mighty & Majestic) do), yet despite all
that, they used to worship him and ascribe divinity to him.
-
He called for the worship of Allah Almighty
Alone, and for vindicating Him (Glorious & Exalted) of any attributes of
imperfection, blame, or reproach which human beings had ascribed to Him due to
their blind following of vain desire, arrogance and trivial passions.
-
Let us take notice of the environment
surrounding the Prophet (pbuh) which used to swirl with blasphemy about the
Creator (Noble & Sublime), since:
A. The
Arabs used to falsely claim that Allah had taken angels as daughters, saying
that the Angels were the daughters of Allah, may He be glorified high above all
that.
B. The
Jews made blasphemous claims about Allah as well. Some of them claimed that
Ezra (Uzayr) was the son of God, may He be exalted high above such a thing!
Also, the Jews corrupted their scriptures, denied their prophets and even
killed them. They denied Allah's slave and messenger, the Messiah Jesus, son of
Mary, despite the miracle of his birth (pbuh), his speaking from the cradle,
and the miracles he produced thereafter by the Help of Allah Most High. They
insulted him and said ugly things about him, may Allah's Curse be upon them.
They attributed to the Virgin Mary that which the tongue is shy to utter,
accusing her of fornication, Allah's Curse be upon them, when she was a pure,
blameless worshipper whom Allah (Blessed & Exalted) had supported with the
miracle of her son, the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, speaking from the cradle
and with his (pbuh) other miracles after that.
The Jews were not satisfied to do only
what we have mentioned above. The prophets and messengers that the Jews
believed in were not safe from the lies, slander, and defamation of their
tongues. Among these prophets were those the Jews accused of drunkenness,
incest, and even having children born of incest. They accused others of being
on the verge of committing adultery and fornication, and others of performing
magic, in addition to a host of other false accusations, lies, and slander.
The Jews insulted their God and attributed
to Him ignorance and poor decision-making. They did not give to Allah (Mighty
& Majestic) His due estimation, when they said that (as they claim) He was
ignorant of the condition of those He chose to deliver His message and that He
chose poorly for what they did to him. All of this is imperfection and fault
which should be recognized as being beneath the Creator. May Allah be exalted
high above it.
C. The
Christians perpetuate a lie against Allah, when a group of them say that the
Messiah is God. Others say that the Messiah is the son of God, and still others
say that God is one of three: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as we
have discussed previously. May Allah be glorified high above such blasphemy!
They ascribed to Allah (Glorious & Exalted) the taking of a son, which is
to attribute incompleteness to Allah (Glorious & Mighty), for Allah has no
need to take a son, for were He to have a son, he would have to resemble Him;
he would also have to be Divine, like Him. He could then decide at any time to
take another son, or yet another, and they would all resemble Him, being
Divine, like Him, unto infinity. Such would also have to be true of the 'Divine
Son,' may Allah be exalted high above all these lies!
There is none like unto Allah (Glorious
& Exalted), as all people know by nature, and as their reason proves to
them, for it is a logical impossibility for there to be two or more gods worthy
of worship.
Allah (Mighty & Majestic) was not born,
and He did not take a son. As the Most High has said,
And they say, "The
Beneficent has begotten a son." * Indeed you have brought forth a
terrible, evil thing. * Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is
split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins, * That they ascribe a son to
the Most Beneficent. * But it is not suitable for the Most Beneficent that He
should beget a son. * There is none in the heavens and the earth but who comes
unto the Most Beneficent as a slave.
[Maryam 19: 88-94]
That is why
the doctrine and statements Allah's Messenger (pbuh) came with concerning the
Messiah, son of Mary (pbuh) is that he is the slave and messenger of Allah. He
was chosen by Allah (Mighty & Majestic) to deliver the message, as He chose
other messengers. This is the middle way between extremism and neglect.
Without the exaggeration of the
Christians, who ascribed divinity or some part thereof to the Messiah, son of
Mary, according to the differences between their denominations that are misguided
and misguide others, that differ in their beliefs, when they should have united
on one belief, but how could that be when falsehood is multiple darknesses,
many forms, while the truth is only one, like the light that extinguishes the
darkness, and no reasonable beings, with rational intelligence and sound
nature, would differ over it.
Without the denial of the Jews who
rejected the message of the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, outright, who
disbelieved in him and attempted to crucify and execute him, who tried to
attack the honor of the Virgin Mary as they had polluted the story of every
prophet that had been sent to them, and so on, may Allah's Curse be upon them.
In general, the belief the Seal of the
Prophets and Messengers, Muhammad (pbuh), came with is the belief with which
Allah (Mighty & Majestic) has wiped out all the darkness. It is the pure
belief which poses neither difficulty for the thinking, hardship for the mind,
nor fatigue for the imagination, as is the case with these other corrupt belief
systems.
That is why Muhammad's message is the
message that seals all previous messages, for all people in every place and
every time, for there will be no other prophet or messenger after Allah's
Messenger, Muhammad (pbuh).
5.
The Holy Quran is the Prophet
Muhammad's (pbuh) great, everlasting, perpetual miracle:
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said,
"Of the prophets, there has not been one who was not given signs
that would make human beings believe him, and verily, what I was given was
revelation revealed to me by Allah, so I hope to be the one most followed on
the Day of Resurrection."
[Sahih al-Bukhari]
We have previously explained the
irrefutable evidence that the Holy Quran which was sent down upon the Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) is the only scripture that will remain preserved in its
divinely-sanctioned form for the legitimate guidance of all people. The
corruption, substitution, alteration, and omission that plagued the previous
books at the hands of human beings will not happen to it.
We likewise explained previously that, in
addition to the Holy Quran containing the miraculous quality of rhetorical and
illustrative power that challenged the Arabs, when they were a people of
eloquence, purity of language, and skillful rhetorical style, it also contained
another element of inimitability: miraculously accurate scientific language in
many different fields, which have been the cause for many Western scientists,
Filipino physicians, and others to embrace Islam.
What we would like to shed light upon now
is the following point:
The Holy Quran is the great, lasting
miracle in our hands today and it will be preserved until the life of this
world comes to an end and the Last Hour is at hand.
As such, the Holy Quran is a testament to
the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that he is the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers.
The Holy Quran is the great, lasting
miracle which contains vindication of God the Creator (Noble & Sublime),
proving His innocence and perfection and glorifying Him in a way unequaled by
any other attempt to praise and glorify the Divine Being, and the Attributes,
Names, and Actions particular to Him (Noble & Sublime).
The Holy Quran is the great, lasting
miracle which contains descriptions of Allah's prophets and messengers (despite
their dissimilarities) in the best terms in which a noble human being can be
described, with good qualities and commendable behavior.
The Holy Quran is the great, lasting
miracle which contains guiding rites of worship, noble standards of
interaction, and upstanding laws that stand on a basis of goodness, truth, and
virtue.
As such, the
pure, authentic Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has also been preserved,
as it is critical to understanding the Quran which was revealed to him (pbuh).
The proof for this is:
The development of the science of hadith,
in which the integrity of each narrator of a hadith from Allah's Messenger
(pbuh) is investigated as to his honesty, his trustworthiness, his observance
of Islamic ritual, his restraint from committing prohibited acts, etc., to
ensure that he is not neglectful of his religion. There is also an
investigation into the quality of his memory and his aptitude for accuracy. It
is also stipulated that whoever related a hadith from a certain individual must
be proven to have been his contemporary, and in fact, some investigators, such
as Imam al-Bukhari, required proof that the two actually met. This is what led
them to develop an entire discipline known as `ilm ul-rijaal, "the
science of the men," which records the life story of every narrator who
related the hadith over the course of centuries: his birth, his death, the
teachers from whom he acquired knowledge, his behavior, his piety, and so on.
Such a discipline is not known except in
the nation of the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers, who was sent to all
people, Muhammad (pbuh).
As such, there
is no need for any other divine scriptures to be sent down upon any other
prophet sent after the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), for the influence and
persuasive power of the other, previous miracles of the previous prophets and
messengers before the coming of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) ended with the
death or ascension of the messenger, as opposed to the case with the everlasting
miracle (the Holy Quran), which has been preserved with all its influence and
persuasive power even after the death of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
For, if the Jews and Christians were asked
now about seeing the miracles of their prophets, they would say, "We did
not see them," and if they were asked how they know about them, they would
say, "Our fathers and grandfathers and others informed us of them."
But if the Muslims were asked about seeing
the miracles of their Prophet, Muhammad (pbuh), which testifies to the truth of
his message and call, they would say, "The great miracle of the Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh), which testifies to the truth of his message and call, is in
our hands. We see it and study it, in addition to the other miracles and
wonders a multitude of our trustworthy people have related to us."
Indeed, the fact that this great miracle
has been preserved by Allah (Blessed & Exalted) is irrefutable visual and
logical proof, that there will be no other, new divine scripture sent down
after the Holy Quran which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), and
that there will be no other, new prophet or messenger after the Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh).
Among the visual and logical proof that
the Holy Quran, the great miracle, will remain preserved by Allah (Blessed
& Exalted), and therefore, there will be no need for a new divine
scripture, is what we witness now of advances in means of writing and printing:
modern devices, the founding of institutions and administrative bodies, and
special commissions for printing the Holy Quran—the Great Miracle—and
supervising it and protecting it from the meddling of vile human hands.
As such, all prophecies and messages were
sealed by the prophethood and message of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to all
people.
6.
The purification of the
Ancient House—the Sacred Ka`aba—from the filth of association in worship and
idolatry:
Allah Most
High has said,
{Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was that at Bakka
(Mecca), full of blessing, and a guidance for the worlds.}
[Aal-`Imran 3: 96]
{And (remember) when We showed Abraham the site of the (Sacred) House
(the Ka`aba), (saying), "Associate not anything (in worship) with Me, and
sanctify My House for those who circumambulate it, and for those who stand up
for prayer, and those who bow, and make prostration.}
[Al-Hajj 22: 26]
Indeed, the
first house of worship placed by Allah (Mighty & Majestic) on the earth was
that which is in Mecca, so that people might worship Him (Noble & Sublime),
purely, without associating anything else with Him, and the Arabs used to make
pilgrimage to that house of worship every year.
The Ancient House—the Sacred Ka`aba—is of
great importance to Allah (Mighty & Majestic). Its sacredness is paramount,
for it is the first house set for people on the earth for the worship of Allah
(Glorious & Exalted).
However, over time, Satan made it seem
good for the Arabs to worship others beside Allah Most High—idols and
stones—and the situation remained that way for many centuries.
Yet part of the requirements of the Wisdom
of Allah (Glorious & Exalted), was that there come a time when His Sacred
House—the Holy Ka`aba—would be cleansed of all these statues and stones that
the Arabs used to worship, for it was the first house built for the worship of
Allah (Noble & Sublime) on the face of the earth.
Message followed message, and the
association and idol worship of the Arabs remained as it was. Judaism came,
followed by Christianity, and neither of them could cleanse Allah's Sacred
House from association, idols and the worship of others beside Allah Most High;
they were not able to bring the people from the worship of false gods and
stones to the worship of Allah (Glorious & Exalted).
Until the Seal of the Prophets and
Messengers, Muhammad (pbuh) came with the final message, to implement what
Allah (Mighty & Majestic) willed—that which His Wisdom (Noble &
Sublime) required—the cleansing of His Sacred House from the association of
false gods and idols, and rectifying this corrupt creed.
That is why it was from the Wisdom of
Allah (Mighty & Majestic) to send Muhammad (pbuh) as a final messenger by
whom to seal the divine messages, to be sent to all people, reciting to them
the Verses of their Lord, to purify and cleanse them from idolatry and evil
acts, to teach them the Book of their Lord, to command them to do good and
forbid them from doing evil, and to declare lawful that which is pure and good
and to prohibit all that is evil and harmful.
And
then it really happened: Allah (Mighty & Majestic) blessed His Messenger,
Muhammad (pbuh) with the liberation of Mecca in the eighth year after the Hijrah
(the migration to Medina). He entered the Sacred Mosque, headed toward the
Black Stone and kissed it. Then he circled round the Ancient House with a bow
in his hand. At that time, there were 360 idols surrounding the Ka`aba, so
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) began to stab at them with the bow, reciting the Words
of Allah (Mighty & Majestic), {And say, "Truth has come and falsehood
has vanished. Surely! Falsehood is ever bound to vanish."}[Al-Israa' 17:
81] and {Say, "The truth has come, and falsehood can neither create nor
resurrect.}[Saba' 34: 49]
Behold Allah's Holy House—the first house
established for the worship of Allah Most High on the face of the earth—before
our eyes, cleansed of statues and idols, pure for the exclusive worship of
Allah Almighty, people worshipping their God and Creator purely, without
associating anything with Him, worship with correct belief, worship that does
not require the reform or renewal of a new prophet or messenger.
Indeed, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the
Seal of the Prophets and Messengers, sent by our Lord (Blessed & Exalted),
to cleanse His Ancient House from the filth of the worship of false gods and
idols, to all people.
And it has
been discovered recently: that the Holy City of Mecca lies at the center of all
dry land on the face of the earth. In other words, were we to draw a circle,
its center point would be Mecca and this circle would encompass all dry land.
Also, the longitude of the Holy City of
Mecca lies exactly at the center of time. Thus, surrounding Mecca is the whole
world, in time and space.
We have
previously discussed some recent scientific discoveries: the congruence of the
Muslim rite of circumambulation around the Ka`aba with the order of the
universe and its harmony with it, which proves that God the Creator of this
universe is the One (Glorious & Exalted) Who sent down His final message
upon the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), Seal of the Prophets and Messengers.
As a necessary result of the Wisdom of
Allah (Glorious & Exalted), the Holy City of Mecca was made the cradle of
this final, global message.
7.
Among the special characteristics
of the nation of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is that it is a proselytizing,
missionary nation.
Allah Almighty
has said,
{Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is
good, enjoining the good and forbidding the evil. And it is they who are
successful.}
[Aal-`Imran 3: 104]
{You are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin the
good and forbid the evil, and you believe in Allah.}
[Aal-`Imran 3: 110]
Allah's
Messenger (pbuh) said,
"Whoever sees evil, let him change it with his hand, and if he is
not able, then with his tongue, and if he is not able, then with his heart, and
that is the weakest of faith."
[Related by Muslim]
Allah's
Messenger (pbuh) said,
"Spread the word about me, even if by one verse…"
[Related by al-Bukhari]
Allah's
Messenger (pbuh) said,
"May Allah illuminate a person who hears something from us and
relates what he has heard, for many a preacher is more aware than the
listener."
[Related by al-Tirmidhi, who said it is authentic (sahih)]
Among the
special characteristics of the nation of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is that
they spread the word of their Lord and the words of their messenger to others
and to those who come after them, and they call for it.
-
They call for goodness, they call for the
religion of Allah (Mighty & Majestic), Islam: its principles, its branches,
and its laws.
-
They enjoin the good, calling for all that is
known to be good, according to law and reason.
-
They forbid the evil, prohibiting all that is
known to be ugly, by law and reason.
-
It is a nation that calls for belief in Allah
(Mighty & Majestic) and for holding on to everything the Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) came with: correct belief, upstanding laws, guiding rites of worship,
and noble standards of interaction, etc.
As such, the
preachers of the nation of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) are the best to people,
in advice, in love of goodness, in preaching, teaching, instructing, and
enjoining good and forbidding evil.
For Allah (Mighty & Majestic) made
them among the causes for this great religion, Islam, to be preserved.
For example, the companions of Allah's
Messenger (pbuh), and after them, their followers: They called for what Allah's
Messenger (pbuh) called for, imitating his example, following in his footsteps,
and spreading Islam, north and south, east and west.
Another example is: what we find today of
many, many groups of scholars and preachers traveling purely for the sake of
inviting people to the religion of Allah (Mighty & Majestic), Islam, in
various countries and in different parts of the world.
A further example is: what the Muslims
have done in terms of starting specialized Islamic satellite channels for
calling people to Allah (Mighty & Majestic) and His true religion, Islam,
to convey the final message of His prophet, Muhammad (pbuh) in the Arabic
language and other foreign languages, to all parts of the world. This is
because of the amazing advancements in audio and video technology.
Yet another example is: the authentic,
truly Islamic sites (not the imitations of the malicious enemies of Islam and
its people) on the Internet, and their specialization in the field of calling
to Allah (Mighty & Majestic) and to His true religion, Islam, in different
languages, Arabic and otherwise.
As such, there is no need to send another
prophet or messenger after the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), when his (pbuh) nation
is competent of conveying the message to all different types of people, in
every part of the world, and this confirms what we mentioned in the previous
point: that there really has been no prophet or messenger after the coming of
the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his message and that the claims of prophecy
that some of the blasphemous liars have announced are false and have come to
nothing but disappointment and failure, and swift, crushing defeat for such
false claims and their proponents. An example of that is:
Musaylama the Liar, who claimed to be a
prophet after the coming of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the success of his
mission.
The fate of that liar, Musaylama, was
humiliation and shame in this world before the Next, for his name was paired
with the quality of lying such that we do not mention his name, Musaylama,
without pairing it with that characteristic, lying. This is proof and testimony
of the prophethood of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the truth of his message
and call, for he (pbuh) informed us that there would be no prophet after him,
and what he told us has come true. Thus, this is one of his (pbuh) miracles,
since he told us of something unseen, through revelation from Allah (Glorious
& Exalted).
Contrary to the deceptive call of
Musaylama, the Liar, we find the truthful call of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
to be:
We find that it appeared, was granted
victory by Allah (Mighty & Majestic), and in fact, we almost never mention
the name of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) without it being accompanied by
blessings and peace upon him—those who mention his name (pbuh) and those who
hear it—saying, "May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him." As
we mentioned, no lying phony claiming to be a prophet could fulfill the task of
a prophet sent from God the Creator (Noble & Sublime). He would quickly
fold under the obstacles and temptations he would be up against. He would fail
to meet up to the tests and challenges facing him. His false, lying proponents
would not be able to bear good fruit due to their blasphemy against Allah
Almighty in claiming prophethood and special, elect status, for it would be a
false prophethood, which therefore would not have the support of Allah (Mighty
& Majestic).
That is why no one would be able to
fulfill the task of prophethood, except a prophet sent from God the Creator
(Noble & Sublime), who is truthful in is call and message, and who has the
support of Allah (Blessed & Exalted).
As in the aforementioned, we have shown
the possibility of applying the definitive test, and the result is: that
Muhammad (pbuh) is the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers and his message was
addressed to all people.
And as for the proof and testimony we have
mentioned, we can clarify and confirm that Muhammad (pbuh) is the Seal of the
Prophets and Messengers, who was sent to all people, and there will be no other
prophet (pbuh) or messenger after him.
