Holding a chronological order to be an eternal order
is possible only if we admit that the practical

Another quite basic requirement is to define the
mission of the Prophet of Islam as being exactly the
same as that of previous prophets. Any
interpretation of his mission which does not tally
with the history of his predecessors must stand
rejected without discussion. For all the prophets,
including the Prophet of Islam, were sent to the
world to fulfill one and the same mission.
