1. THE MESSAGE OF THE FAITHFUL PROPHET
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate
Praise be to Allah, may He bless and save Our guide Muhammad, the victor and the Seal of all prophets, His family and his Companions.
Thirteen hundred and seventy years ago, Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah, the Illiterate Prophet, proclaimed in the heart of Mecca from Mount Al-Safa:
‘O mankind, I am sent to you all as a messenger of Allah, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: There is no god but He; it is He who gives life and brings about death. Therefore believe in Allah and His messenger, the Prophet can neither read or write, who believes in Allah and His Words, and follow him. So that you may be guided’
(Surat-al-A’raaf (7), ayah 158)
This universal mission marked the boundary for all of creation between a dark, oppressive past and a brilliant, shining future, as well as a prosperous and exuberant present A clear announcement of a new order decreed by Allah, the all knowing, the all Wise. Its herald was Mohammed, the bringer of glad tidings and a warner. Its Book was the clear and Enlightening Qur’an. Its soldiers were the vanguards of the Emigrants and the Ansar (helpers) and those who followed them in doing good. It was not contrived by man: it was rather a favour from Allah, for who is better than Allah in his favours?
‘Thou didst not know what the Book was, nor the Faith, but We have made it a light through which We guide those whom We will of our worshippers. And truly thou dost guide to a straight path, the path of Allah to whom belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Do not all things proceed to Allah?’
(Surat-ash-Shura (42), ayahs 52-53)
