17. MANIFESTATION OF
PROPHETHOOD IN THE PRESENT
DAY AND AGE
God decreed that the final prophet, Muhammad, on
whom be peace, should establish the dominance of
true religion over all other religions.

This special
task entrusted to the Prophet of Islam has also been
entrusted to his followers. The dominance of
religion that Muhammad brought about was the
culmination of a grand divine scheme, with the
groundwork having been laid over the previous
2,500 years. All the Prophet had to do was bring it
to completion. So it has been with the Prophet’s
ummah —
his community. Over the last 1000 years
the ground has been prepared for the re-
establishment of the dominance of true religion. If
the followers of Muhammad make wise and
conscientious use of the opportunities available to
them, the mantle of God’s succour will indeed fall
on them, in the same way as it fell upon the
Prophet. That is the promise of God.
