- The King of Yemen
Thus he set the example for the fulfillment of his impelling mission, his "greatness of
purpose,” the reclamation of the whole of humanity into the Master's fold. Is there
another example of such universality in another religion? Muhammad (pbuh) was
not out to set or to break any records; he was simply carrying out the trust that was
reposed in him by the Lord of Creation!
After the people around him believed in his message, he made his companions so
firm on the truth that after his death they had taken over the great empires of the
Byzantines and Persians.
This again emphasis’s that the message was a universal one.
And just to prove the point the first verse in the first chapter of the Quran reads:
Glory be to Allah the Lord of the worlds’.
[The Opening]
Lord of the World not Lord of the Muslims
The universality comes out again when we discuss the core monotheism of his call,
not a call to a select few people like the Jews claim but for anyone who embraces the
core values of Islam.
If he was a fraud he could have brought such a verse that included Lord of the
Muslims, but the prophet does not utter from his own words it is but a revelation.
So the call to unify God was the main reason why the religion of Islam spread and
was accepted by the masses and proves the universality of his call.
