the above verse of the Quran.
This verse quotes the words of the Prophet:
‘The Quran has been revealed to me, so that I
may warn you (people) and all whom it may
reach.’ During his lifetime the Prophet
conveyed the message of the Quran by his
own efforts. Now the question arises as to
which mediumwas to be used to convey the
message of the Quran to people of later
periods. The believers, or the followers of the
Prophet, were and continued to be the
medium through which the message was to
be subsequently conveyed.After the Prophet
had gone, the Muslims were to perform the
task of conveying the message on his behalf.
In every age, believerswill convey themessage
of the Quran to the people of their times. This
workwill continue till doomsday.
