From
time immemorial, the Devil has been launching his attacks against
people. But from that time, Allah has been sending His Message to
humankind, reminding them of the purpose for which they were created,
namely, to worship Him alone. This message of tawheed (the
Islamic concept of monotheism), accompanied by laws which regulate human
life on the individual and social level, is the Message brought by all
the prophets and Messengers, down throughout the ages, to all nations.
The
Messages of the earlier prophets and Messengers were entrusted to their
priests and rabbis, to be preserved and conveyed to subsequent
generations by them, but they failed to fulfil that trust, concealing,
distorting or omitting parts of the Message until the word of truth was
lost. Finally, Allah sent His last Messenger with the ultimate Message
addressed to all of humanity, the Message of Islam, and Allah Himself
guaranteed to preserve it until the Day of Resurrection.
In this book, Dr. ‘Umar al-Ashqar
presents a thorough study of the Messengers and their Message. Based
primarily on the texts of the Qur’an and Hadith, he also presents
quotations from the Bible and other scriptures to demonstrate that the
Message is one and that the final Message, that which was brought by our
Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), is the
culmination of the call of all the Messengers, and the only perfect
message in existence, the path to Paradise, that will abide until the
Day of Resurrection.
This Islamic Creed Series of books has been translated into English by Nasiruddin al-Khattab.
