The Angels whose number is countless bear witness of Muhammad’s prophet hood and of the Quran as being revealed by Allahز
————————————————
The idolaters among the Arabs were confused about Muhammad, they were still suspicious if he is genuine prophet or not!
To make it clear for them, Allah has revealed the verses 4:163-166 that mean:
Lo! We (Allah) inspired you O Muhammad as We inspired Noah and the entire prophets after Noah,
We inspire you O Muhammad as We inspired:
- Abraham
- Ishmael
- Isaac
- Jacob and the tribes (the sons of Jacob),
- Jesus
- Job
- Jonah
- Aaron, and
- Solomon,
- We gave unto David the Inscribed Book (the Psalms)
We inspired you O Muhammad We inspired messengers which We have not mentioned by name in the Quran.
And Allah spoke directly unto Moses.
It is said that Allah sent eight thousand prophets in total; He sent at least one messenger or prophet to every nation on the face of the earth.
Allah has sent all these messengers:
- of good cheer, giving the good news of Paradise for those who believe, and
- of warning of hell for those who disbelieve in Allah,
Allah did that in order that mankind might have no argument on the Day of Judgment against Allah after sending the messengers, such that they cannot say: You have not sent us any messenger.
Allah is ever Mighty in His kingdom. He is ever Wise, in His actions.
Then, the idolaters among the Arabs asked the Jews if Muhammad is a Prophet or not.
The idolaters asked the Jews because the Jews are the people of Allah’ scripture.
When the Jews were asked about Muhammad’s prophet hood and they denied him, although they knew that he is the last prophet, when this happened, the following verse of the Noble Quran has revealed; it means:
But Allah bears witness:
- of your prophet hood O Muhammad
- of what He has revealed to you O Muhammad (the Quran), He has revealed it through His knowledge
And also, the entire Angels bear witness.
The entire world of the Angels whose number is countless bear witness too.
This is the second witness of the Angels.
O you smart reader, where you are from this second witness of countless billions of Angels that will lead you to either Paradise or Hell
