Messengers and Prophets

Books 5

Quran, Hadith, and Islam

All messengers delivered the same message, that you shall not worship except God, so disobeying them is disbelief or idol worship.“Since all the messengers delivered one and the same message, namely, "YOU SHALL NOT WORSHIP EXCEPT GOD," disobeying them constitutes disbelief, or idolworship.”

Quran: Visual Presentation of the Miracle

Every messenger was supported by miracles from God, and the Quran teaches that the miracle given to the prophet Muhammad is the Quran itself.“Every messenger was supported by miracles from God.”“The Quran teaches that the miracle bestowed upon the prophet Muhammad is the Quran itself:”“Is it not enough (of a miracle) that we revealed to you TIDS SCRIPTURE being recited to them?”

The mathematical evidence proves the authenticity and perfect preservation of the Quran and also confirms the miracles of earlier messengers such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus.“Not only does the evidence prove the authenticity and perfect preservation of Quran, but also confirms the miracles of previous messengers, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus.”“None of us witnessed the parting of the Red Sea, or the virgin birth of Christ. However, upon reviewing the evidence presented here, and examining the appropriate narrations, the reader will be as positively certain as an eyewitness.”

Appendices 14

Appendix 2, God's Messenger of the Covenant [3:81]

A Nabi, or prophet, is a messenger who delivers a new scripture, while a Rasoul is a messenger who confirms existing scripture; every prophet is a messenger, but not every messenger is a prophet.“Thus, “Nabi” is a messenger of God who delivers a new scripture, while “Rasoul” is a messenger commissioned by God to confirm existing scripture; he does not bring a new scripture. According to the Quran, every “Nabi” is a “Rasoul” but not every “Rasoul” is a “Nabi””

A true messenger of God advocates worship of God alone and abolition of idol worship, never asks for a wage, and is given incontrovertible proof; anyone failing these is a false claimant.“[1] God’s messenger advocates the worship of God ALONE, and the abolition of all forms of idol worship. [2] God’s messenger never asks for a wage for himself. [3] God’s messenger is given divine, incontrovertible proof of his messengership.”“Anyone who claims to be God’s messenger, and does not meet the three minimum criteria listed above is a false claimant.”

During his Hajj, before sunrise on December 21, 1971, Rashad Khalifa's soul was taken to a place in the universe and introduced to all the prophets as God's Messenger of the Covenant.“I, Rashad Khalifa, the soul, the real person, not the body, was taken to some place in the universe where I was introduced to all the prophets as God’s Messenger of the Covenant. I was not informed of the details and true significance of this event until Ramadan 1408.”“What I witnessed, in sharp consciousness, was that I was sitting still, while the prophets, one by one, came towards me, looked at my face, then nodded their heads.”

Every messenger of God must present proof and is supported by incontrovertible divine signs, such as Moses' staff, Jesus' healing, Saleh's camel, Abraham surviving the fire, and Muhammad's Quran.“A messenger of God must present proof that he is God’s messenger. Every messenger of God is supported by incontrovertible divine signs proving that he is authorized by the Almighty to deliver His messages.”“Moses threw down his staff and it turned into a serpent, Jesus healed the leprous and revived the dead by God’s leave, Saaleh’s sign was the famous camel, Abraham walked out of the fire, and Muhammad’s miracle was the Quran (29:50-51).”

God supports His true messenger with invisible soldiers and His treasury and guarantees him and the believers victory, so his truthfulness prevails while a fake messenger is eventually exposed.“The most important difference between God’s messenger and a fake messenger is that God’s messenger is supported by God, while the fake messenger is not:”“God’s messenger, as well as the believers, are guaranteed victory and dignity, in this world and forever (40:51 & 58:21).”“Thus, the truthfulness of God’s messenger invariably prevails, while the falsehood of a fake messenger invariably, sooner or later, is exposed.”

It is illogical that God would give a prophet a scripture to keep for himself, and Aaron, called a prophet, did receive the scripture together with Moses.“It is not logical that God will give a scripture to a prophet, then ask him to keep it exclusively for himself, as stated by some Muslim “scholars” (2:42, 146, 159).”“However, the Quran clearly states that the statute book was given specifically “to both Moses and Aaron” (21:48, 37:117).”

People have always tended to reject a living contemporary messenger; Joseph was declared the last messenger, yet many messengers came after him.“From time immemorial, it has been a human trait to reject a contemporary, living messenger. Joseph was declared “the last messenger” (40:34). Yet, many messengers came after him, including Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, and Muhammad.”

Sending messengers to provide final solutions and new information is a mercy from God, and believers must accept their teachings without the slightest hesitation.“We learn from 2:151, 3:164, and 21:107 that it is but mercy from God that He sends to us messengers to provide the final solutions to our problems.”“Hence the strong injunction in 4:65, 80 to accept, without the slightest hesitation, the teachings delivered to us through God’s messengers.”

The Quran prophesies that the Messenger of the Covenant comes after all the prophets and all of God's scriptures, and the prophets pledged to believe in and support him.“One of the major prophecies in the Quran is that God’s Messenger of the Covenant will be sent after all the prophets have come to this world, and after all of God’s scriptures have been delivered.”“God took a covenant from the prophets, saying, “I will give you the scripture and wisdom. Afterwards, a messenger will come to confirm all existing scriptures. You shall believe in him and support him.””

The souls of the dead prophets and believers are alive in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve lived, though they cannot come back to our world.“Although the prophets are dead, as far as this world is concerned, we know that their souls, the real persons, are now in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve lived.”“Although they cannot come back to our world (23:100), they are “alive” in Paradise.”

Appendix 22, Jesus

The Gospels quote Jesus saying that he was sent by God, could do nothing of himself, and spoke only what God commanded him to say.“For I have not spoken on my own; no, the Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to speak.”“I cannot do anything of myself. I judge as I hear, and my judgment is honest because I am not seeking my own will but the will of him who sent me.”“Jesus said: “My doctrine is not my own; it comes from him who sent me.””“Eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and him whom you have sent, Jesus Christ.”
