Muhammad a Prophet For all Humanity
7. The Revolution of the Prophet
~ 148 ~
this world, God causes things to happen within
the bounds of cause and effect. If events were to
occur miraculously, we would have no choice but
to see the hand of God in them: there would be no
test involved. It was within the bounds of cause
and effect, then, that God set about establishing
the dominance of His word on earth. He created
all the necessary circumstances for the
achievement of this end, and then sent a prophet
charged with the special task of bringing it to
fruition. The Prophet’s task, therefore, was not
only to proclaim the truth, but also to make the
truth a predominant force on earth, thus
completing God’s favour to mankind and
allowing us to avail of the divine succour of which
their waywardness had deprived us:
They seek to extinguish the light of God with
their mouths; but God will perfect His light,
much as the unbelievers may dislike it. It is
He who has sent His apostle with guidance
and the Faith of Truth, so that He may exalt it
above all religions, much as the pagans may
dislike it.
