Muhammad a Prophet For all Humanity
Introduction
~ 11 ~
The Prophet was chosen by God to give the kind of
guidance to people, which they needed if they were
to lead upright, virtuous lives. If people seemingly
have complete control over what they do, it is
because, in this world, they are on trial. If the
illusion of free will causes them to act as they
choose, it is because they are being tested. The
Prophets, in spite of their divine mission, cannot
force people to change their ways. All they can do is
communicate the message with which God has
entrusted them:
Yet what should Messengers do but give plain
warning?

God has done the maximum to ensure that we
should not go astray in our journey through life. He
has given us a conscience, enabling us to
differentiate between what is right and wrong, and
has placed us in a world based on justice. But -
whenever man has failed to listen to his conscience,
or was deaf to the silent message emanating from
every object of God’s creation, God sent His
prophets to bring him the truth, and so that these
God-sent messages should not be incomprehensible
