Prophethood Of The Holy Prophet^–Saw Is Universal:

---

Blessed is Allah^-SWT , the Owner of all goodness, Who^-SWT revealed unto His^-SWT servant a Book which clearly distinguishes truth from falsehood and draws a line between the two. The Holy Prophet^-SW forewarned the entire universe of the consequences of wrongdoings, as his^-SW Prophethood is not only for this world but for the entire universe. The accountable creation, that is, human beings and Jinn are obliged to obey his^-SW commands, while everything else respects and venerates him^-SW in the same manner as is required of any of his^-SW followers. The preceding Surah foretold the onset of trials as a consequence of defying the orders of the Holy Prophet^-SW. Here, it is explained that a human being is a sentient being who by pledging Shahadah promises obedience as a Muslim. How can he then be spared if he fails to obey the Holy Prophet^-SW raised for Allah^-SWT ’s entire creation? Whenever any of them disobeys him^-SW, he will be seized by His^-SWT punishment. The infidels by rejecting his^-SW Message have qualified for Hell for ever, while a disobedient believer will suffer humiliation.

 

It is Allah^-SWT Who has revealed the Book, and raised the Holy Prophet^-SW with a status unmatchable. He^-SWT has also made these natural rules whereby defiance to his^-SW orders causes disaster. With Him^-SWT lies the Command and Control of heavens and earth. He^-SWT enjoys Absolute Authority, has created everything and has predetermined the role each has to play in this world. He^-SWT has no progeny who could interfere in His^-SWT Commands, nor does He^-SWT have any partner or equal who could dare even whisper before Him^-SWT . The rules He^-SWT has formulated are inexorable and firm. Those who opt to worship others than Him^-SWT and assume that their deities would fulfil their needs fail to realise the plain fact that everything else is a creation itself, given its qualities by the Creator^-SWT . These deities do not have the capability to decide what is good or harmful even for themselves. They do what Allah^_SWT has ingrained in their nature. The sun, the moon, the stars, the rocks, the trees, the rivers, all fall under this category. They have no control over death, nor do they share in giving life to anyone, nor can they interfere in establishing the Day of Judgment. The entire System has been organised by the Almighty Allah^-SWT and everything is simply trailing its course. But the infidels are sceptical of Allah^-SWT ’s Book and assert that it is merely a collection of fables; some handed down through time, while the rest put together by mutual consultation.

 

O’ Reader! Just see how unfair and untrue it is when they accuse the Holy Prophet^-SW of having invented these tales with the help of his^-SW followers! The fineness of this Scripture, the secrets of creation, the pearls of wisdom, the solutions to the universal problems, the determination of human needs and the most decent ways of fulfilment, the effects of the human actions on the society as well as their eternal results; can all these merely a collection of tales? Or are these His^-SWT Revelations, He^-SWT Who is Aware of all the secrets of heavens and the earth and is indeed Forgiving and Most Merciful? Indeed the very revelation of this Book is a manifestation of His^-SWT Omnipotence.

 

Humbled and left without an answer the infidels resort to another argument. They ask as to what kind of Messenger is the Holy Prophet^-SW, who eats, drinks, and engages in business like ordinary human beings. Had he^-SW been Allah^-SWT ’s Messenger, an angel would have escorted him^-SW and made people submit to what he^-SW said. He^-SW should have had escorts like the royal chieftains have or heaps of wealth or a big treasure or numerous orchards, so as to be free of any concern for a livelihood. These transgressors assert that as he^-SW does not enjoy any of these distinctions, he^-SW is probably enchanted because of which he^-SW is claiming to be a Prophet^-AS and as such has no credibility. Allah^-SWT declares that they are ignorant, completely devoid of any understanding about the Office of Prophethood, its magnificence, its symbols and its proofs. That is why they revile the Holy Prophet^-SW, and as a result have gone astray to an extent that they can no longer find the right path.

This Book is guidance personified which has indicated the straight path. Those who refute it and resort to denial will be awarded a terribly painful punishment.
