Muhummad(pbuh) in Islam
Many people have a misconception that Islam is a new Religion, which was founded by Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).
This is Not right.
Holy Quran states in Chapter 3 verse 19,"Verily the religion in the sight of ALLAH(Almighty God) is ISLAM"which means PEACE or Submitting Your will to Almighty God. So we say Islam is Not a new religion, it is as old as mankind, Islam is there for time immemorial since man first put foot on earth & Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), is not the founder of the Religion of Islam but he is the last and final Prophet of Islam that was sent to Mankind.
In fact, Qur’an says in Surah Fatir, Ch. 35, Verse 24 ‘And there never was a people without a warner having lived among them'.
The Qur’an says in Surah Raad, Ch.13, Verse 7 ... ‘And to every nation and to every people there was sent a guide’.
That means, there were messengers and guides, send to all the nations of the world. But by name, only 25 Prophets of Almighty God are mentioned in the Holy Qur’an by name. For example Adam, Noah, Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, David, Solomon, Jesus, Muhammed (Peace be upon him). By name, only 25 Messengers are mentioned in the Holy Qur’an. But our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), has said that… ' There were more than 1,24,000 Messengers sent on the face of the earth.'
But all the messengers that came before Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) -they were only sent for their people, and their message was only meant for a particular time period. Like Jesus Christ he was sent only for the Children of Israel(Jews), it is mentioned in the Quran in chapter 3:49 and chapter 61 verse 6 & a similar message is given in the Bible where Jesus says in Matthew chapter 10 verse 5-6
"Go ye not into the way of Gentiles(Non-Jews).... But Rather ye go unto the Lost Sheep of house of Israel".
So the messengers that came were sent for their own people, and their message was meant for a particular time period. But Holy Qur’an says in Surah Ahzab, Ch. 33, Verse 40 ‘Muhammed is not the father of any of your men, but he is the messenger of Allah (SWT), and the seal of the Prophets - and Allah is all knowing and full of knowledge’.
Holy Qur’an says Muhammed (Peace be upon him) is last and final messenger, sent on the face of the earth, and Muhammed (Peace be upon him) was not sent, only for the Muslims or the Arabs’. But the Holy Qur’an says in Surah Ambiya, Ch. 21,Verse 107 ‘That We have sent thee (Prophet Muhammed) as a mercy to all the creatures’ -As a mercy to all the world, as a mercy to the whole of humanity.
The Holy Qur’an says in Surah Saba, Ch. 34, Verse 28 ‘That We have sent thee (Prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon him)), as a universal Messenger giving them glad tidings, and warning them against sin but most of the human kind do not know'. So, Prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon him) was not only sent for the Muslims or the Arabs, but was sent for the whole of humanity’.
