with (The Quran), then he must believe in the Prophethood of Jesus as the Quran
has confirmed the Prophethood of Jesus as well as that of Prophet Moses may Allah’s
blessings be upon them.
Also this person (we have given as an example) must believe in the Prophethood
and message of all those that the Quran mentions their Prophethood and Message
because disbelieving in any of their Prophet hood or message counts as disbelief in
the Quran which has affirmed their Prophethood and message.
For example, if a Jew believed in Prophet Moses may Allah’s blessings be upon him
then said that he didnot believe in the Prophet Jesus or Prophet Muhammad, then
his belief in Prophet Moses does not benefit him in any way and hence becomes
deserving of Allah’s eternal punishment because belief is not dividable.
Also, if a Christian believed in Jesus may Allah’s blessings be upon him but then said
that he did not believe in the message of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him or
another Prophet, then his belief in Jesus doesn’t not benefit him in any way and
hence he becomes deserving of Allah’s eternal punishment.
In completion to this point: Similar to what we have mentioned is the belief in the
angels as it is not permissible to disbelieve in any one of the angels as long as u have
believed in the books sent to the Prophets and messengers.
In addition it is obligatory upon everybody to believe in Allah and His Oneness, to
believe in His angels, His Prophets and Messengers, His heavenly Books which were
sent to His Prophets and Messengers, the day of Judgement, Pre-ordainment, (that
everything that occurs does so by Allah’s will, His wisdom known to Allah before it
occurs). It is not permissible to disbelieve in any of the above-mentioned otherwise
one leaves the fold of Islam which obligates the belief in everything we have
mentioned. Consequently, this disbelief warrants the punishment of Allah.
From what we have said, it is clear that Islam is the religion of Allah which Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him was sent with. It is also the religion that all of the
other Prophets and Messengers came with, therefore anything other than Islam is
not accepted.
It is also clear that the message of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is more
universal and complete in comparison to the message of Prophet Jesus and Prophet
Moses may Allah’s blessings be upon them. This is because Prophet Moses’ and
Prophet Jesus’ messages may Allah’s blessings be upon them were sent only to the
Children of Israel whereas the message of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
was sent to all of mankind in all places until the day of judgement. The miracle of the
everlasting Quran is a proof for that.
This clarifies the point that the scared law Prophet Muhammad came with is an
abrogation of what came before it hence making it obligatory for everyone to follow
it.
