The message brought by muhammed is th final message3 \3
7. Among the special characteristics of the nation of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is that
it is a proselytizing, missionary nation.
Allah Almighty has said,
{Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining the good and forbidding the evil. And it is they who are successful.}
[Aal-`Imran 3: 104]
{You are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin the good and forbid the evil, and you believe in Allah.}
[Aal-`Imran 3: 110]
[Aal-`Imran 3: 110]
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said,
"Whoever sees evil, let him change it with his hand, and if he is not able, then with his tongue, and if he is not able, then with his heart, and that is the weakest of faith."

Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said,
"Spread the word about me, even if by one verse…"

Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said,
"May Allah illuminate a person who hears something from us and relates what he has heard, for many a preacher is more aware than the listener."
"May Allah illuminate a person who hears something from us and relates what he has heard, for many a preacher is more aware than the listener."
Among the special characteristics of the nation of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is that they
spread the word of their Lord and the words of their messenger to others and to those who
come after them, and they call for it.
- They call for goodness, they call for the religion of Allah (Mighty & Majestic), Islam: its
principles, its branches, and its laws.
- They enjoin the good, calling for all that is known to be good, according to law and
reason.
- They forbid the evil, prohibiting all that is known to be ugly, by law and reason.
- It is a nation that calls for belief in Allah (Mighty & Majestic) and for holding on to
everything the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came with: correct belief, upstanding laws,
guiding rites of worship, and noble standards of interaction, etc.
As such, the preachers of the nation of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) are the best to people, in
advice, in love of goodness, in preaching, teaching, instructing, and enjoining good and
forbidding evil.
For Allah (Mighty & Majestic) made them among the causes for this great religion, Islam, to
be preserved.
For example, the companions of Allah's Messenger (pbuh), and after them, their followers:
They called for what Allah's Messenger (pbuh) called for, imitating his example, following in his
footsteps, and spreading Islam, north and south, east and west.
Another example is: what we find today of many, many groups of scholars and preachers
traveling purely for the sake of inviting people to the religion of Allah (Mighty & Majestic), Islam,
in various countries and in different parts of the world.
A further example is: what the Muslims have done in terms of starting specialized Islamic
satellite channels for calling people to Allah (Mighty & Majestic) and His true religion, Islam, to
convey the final message of His prophet, Muhammad (pbuh) in the Arabic language and other
foreign languages, to all parts of the world. This is because of the amazing advancements in audio
and video technology.
Yet another example is: the authentic, truly Islamic sites (not the imitations of the malicious
enemies of Islam and its people) on the Internet, and their specialization in the field of calling to
Allah (Mighty & Majestic) and to His true religion, Islam, in different languages, Arabic and
otherwise.
As such, there is no need to send another prophet or messenger after the Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh), when his (pbuh) nation is competent of conveying the message to all
different types of people, in every part of the world, and this confirms what we mentioned in the
previous point: that there really has been no prophet or messenger after the coming of the
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his message and that the claims of prophecy that some of the
blasphemous liars have announced are false and have come to nothing but disappointment and
failure, and swift, crushing defeat for such false claims and their proponents. An example of that
is:
Musaylama the Liar, who claimed to be a prophet after the coming of the Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) and the success of his mission.
The fate of that liar, Musaylama, was humiliation and shame in this world before the Next, for
his name was paired with the quality of lying such that we do not mention his name, Musaylama,
without pairing it with that characteristic, lying. This is proof and testimony of the prophethood
of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the truth of his message and call, for he (pbuh) informed
us that there would be no prophet after him, and what he told us has come true. Thus, this is one
of his (pbuh) miracles, since he told us of something unseen, through revelation from Allah
(Glorious & Exalted).
Contrary to the deceptive call of Musaylama, the Liar, we find the truthful call of the Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) to be:
We find that it appeared, was granted victory by Allah (Mighty & Majestic), and in fact, we
almost never mention the name of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) without it being accompanied
by blessings and peace upon him—those who mention his name (pbuh) and those who hear it—
saying, "May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him." As we mentioned, no lying phony
claiming to be a prophet could fulfill the task of a prophet sent from God the Creator (Noble &
Sublime). He would quickly fold under the obstacles and temptations he would be up against. He
would fail to meet up to the tests and challenges facing him. His false, lying proponents would
not be able to bear good fruit due to their blasphemy against Allah Almighty in claiming
prophethood and special, elect status, for it would be a false prophethood, which therefore
would not have the support of Allah (Mighty & Majestic).
That is why no one would be able to fulfill the task of prophethood, except a prophet sent
from God the Creator (Noble & Sublime), who is truthful in is call and message, and who has the
support of Allah (Blessed & Exalted).
As in the aforementioned, we have shown the possibility of applying the definitive test, and
the result is: that Muhammad (pbuh) is the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers and his message
was addressed to all people.
And as for the proof and testimony we have mentioned, we can clarify and confirm that
Muhammad (pbuh) is the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers, who was sent to all people, and
there will be no other prophet (pbuh) or messenger after him.
