WHAT IS PROPHETHOOD - MUHAMMAD ‘alaihis-salâm’ IS THE LAST PROPHET (I)

Allâhu ta’âlâ, pitying all the people on the earth, creates and sends useful things to them. In the next world, He will forgive whomever He chooses of those disobedient Believers who are to go to Hell and will bless them with direct access to Paradise. He, alone, is the One who creates every living being, keeps all beings in existence every moment and protects all against fear and horror. Trusting ourselves to the honourable name of Allâhu ta’âlâ, we begin to translate this book. 

Infinite gratitude be to Allâhu ta’âlâ! Peace and blessings be upon His most beloved Messenger, Muhammad (‘alaihi ‘s-salâm)! Beneficent prayers be upon the pure Ahl al-Bayt and upon all the just and devoted companions (as-Sahâbat al-kirâm) of this exalted Prophet!

Allâhu ta’âlâ has had great mercy upon His human slaves and wishes them to live in comfort and peace in the world and to attain eternal felicity in the Hereafter. To this end, He has made the most superior and best of mankind into Prophets and, by revealing holy books to them, has shown the way to peace and happiness. He has declared that attaining happiness requires first believing in Him and His Prophets and then obeying the commandments in His holy books. Any person who possesses this belief and accepts the commandments is termed a Mu’min (Believer) and Muslim.
