Chapter 6 of the Quran (117) All Messengers = One Message

This was, and still is, Muhammad’s message to mankind.  This was also the message of all the messengers, sent by Allah, to their people. This was the message of Noah, Hud, Saleh, Abraham, Lot, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Shu’aib, Moses, David, Solomon, Elias, Jonah, Jesus,

In the previous article, Submission to Allah was Abraham’s Religion and was the Religion Abraham’ descendants.

Back to the original Abraham and his descendants’ Religion, Ayah 6:162-163 say:

Say O Muhammad, to the Jews, to the Christians and to mankind:

Lo! my worship, my five daily prayers , my rituals, my sacrifice, my devotions, in the way of pilgrimage and otherwise, and my living (my life), and my dying (my death) were all for Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

In short, my entire life, my entire activities, my entire deeds in this world were for the sake of the obedience and pleasure of Allah; the Master and the King of the entire worlds.

§  He has no partner.

§  He has no wife.

§  He has no son.

§  He has no daughter.

§  He has no equivalent.

§  Nothing is equal or similar to Him.

I am commanded to believe in Him,

I am the first (among my people) of those who submit unto Him

I am the first (among my people) of those who sincerely worship Him and confess His divine Oneness.

This was, and still is, Muhammad’s message to mankind.

This was also the message of all the messengers, sent by Allah, to their people.

This was the message of Noah, Hud, Saleh, Abraham, Lot, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Shu’aib, Moses, David, Solomon, Elias, Jonah, Jesus, 

Every one of those great Messengers and Prophet clearly conveyed this message unto his people.

Chapter 6 of the Quran (61) Mecca, the Mother of Cities

But, how would you know that the Quran is the Blessed Book when you do not read it and understand it? Also, serious scientific researches are needed to discover and acknowledge the fact that Mecca is the mother of all the cities.

——————————————-

 

In Ayah 6:92, Allah commanded His Last Prophet Muhammad to announce:

This is the Quran.

This is blessed Book we have revealed; the Angel Gabriel brought it down and recited it unto the Prophet Muhammad.

This blessed Book is confirming that which was before it of scriptures. It is confirming that which was revealed before it and it is agreeing with the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms and with all earlier Scriptures as regard Allah’s divine Oneness and the traits and description of Muhammad

This book is warning therewith, the Mother of Towns and those around it, that is, the inhabitants of Mecca and all other people around it of the rest of Earth.

In other words, Allah has revealed the Quran for:

§  The blessings it gives; contains mercy and forgiveness for him who believes in it.

§  As a vindication of previous scripture]and

§  To warn therewith Mecca and all the cities around it; that is the rest of Earth

 

And those who believe in the in the Day of Judgment and the Afterlife and the ones who believe in it; and they observe their prayers, fearing the punishment thereof.

 

In other words, those who believe in resurrection after death and in the bliss of Paradise (believe herein) believe in Muhammad and the Quran, and they are careful of their worship and they observe the appointed time for the five daily prayers.

 

But, how would you know that the Quran is the Blessed Book when you do not read it and understand it?

Also, serious scientific researches are needed to discover and acknowledge the fact that Mecca is the mother of all the cities.

‘Shall we worship, instead of Allah, that which neither harm us, if we worship them, nor harm us, if we neglect them after He has guided us, to Islam? Say: ‘Truly, Allah’s guidance, which is Islam, is the true guidance.

 

Ayah 72 continues and says:

And to establish the five daily prayers and ward off evil and obey and fear Allah, and He it is unto whom you shall be brought together after you die, on the Day of Resurrection, and you will reward you for your works.

 

Ayah 73 says:

It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth in truth.

And , mention, the day He says, to a thing, ‘Be’, and it is this is the Day of Judgment, when He says to creatures, ‘Rise up’, and they do. His words were the truth, the truth that will doubtless come to pass; and His is the Kingdom the day when the trumpet, the horn, is blown, the second blast by the Angel in charge, when there shall be no kingdom for any other than Him.

He is the Knower of the unseen and the visible,

He is the Knower of what is hidden and what may be seen.

He is the Wise, in His creation and in His command and decree
