As a humble student of history, religion and morals I deem it honor to talk about the man who can truly be called the moulder of the of the course of human history, who gave man light and knowledge, reason and freedom of thought when it was graping in the darkness of ignorance , blind customs and traditions. This man was prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) who has one saved the world from committing suicide, and whose teaching are still capable of showing the path of safety and salvation to the world today.
"We sent thee not, save as Mercy for the peoples. XXI107.(Holy Qur'an)
I have just recited before you a verse from Surah Anbiya of the Holy Qur'an. In it God address the holy prophet to tell him that he had been sent as a mercy for the whole world and all the peoples that might be born at the planet. This was, indeed , a unique declaration, or, if I could say so, a revolutionary proclamation for the entire humanity. And this was included by God in a Scripture which was destined to be read, after its revelation, in every age, time and clime, by billions of men in every nook and corner of the world. It was to have an unending line of exegetes, commentators and researchers who were to scan every word of it, evaluates its revelations and scrutinize the truth of its contents in the light of past and coming events. Whenever a man makes any statement or a writer comes out with a report in an article to be published in some newspapers or a journal, he has to think a hundred times lest he should be controverted by some body. If he happens to make any unusual claim, he is extra-cautious for the fear that he might be challenged by another person or proved to be a fibster. As every one of us knows, books last longer than the journals; they continue to be read for years . Thus any one putting forth an annunciation in a book has to be over cautious; he has to make sure that the reaction of his readers is not adverse and that his claim is accepted. Now, you see, the Knower of all secrets has made this declaration in a book about which He Himself say;
"Falsehood cannot come at it from before it or behind it. (It is) a revelation from the Wise, The Owner of Praise." (XLI : 42)
His edict about this runs:
"Lo! We, even we, reveal the Reminder, and Lo! We verify are its Guardian." XV : 9)
Since these declaration cover both time and space, they cannot be taken lightly.
The announcement made by God covers all the ages and the whole of human race that would makes its debut in this world after the prophet hood of Muhammed (peace and blessings of God upon him) was announced: it encompasses all the periods of history, past and present, that this world may see after the blessed Prophet was raised as the harbinger of peace for all peoples.
This pronouncement does not excluse any corner of the world from its ambit. God did not proclaim Muhammed as mercy of Arabia, for the East or for the continent of Asia alone. He has made an unequivocal declaration that His Prophet Muhammed is to be the peace unto the whole world till the end of time.
This unique proclamation was, in truth and reality, so marvelously wonderful, so extensive in its scope and so far reaching in its effect, and so majestic in issuing the Divine command that all the philosophers, thinkers, writers, schoolmen or rather than every man should have rubbed his eyes in amazement. Of a fact, it would have not all been surprising if every man of learning applied himself to explore the veracity of this unprecedented statement. You can scan the history of the world but you would not find such an unconditional language, either in the historical records of the world religions or in the annals of reformatory and revolutionary movements; nay, not even in the countries and civilizations, nor yet in the entire literature of the human race.
