Almighty sends Prophets and Messengers to all nations of the world.

February 27, 2004

Prophets and Messengers As-Salaam `Alaykum. I would like to pose this question: Is there any evidence that a Prophet was sent to the ancient people of India? In view of the Glorious Qur’an, revelations to several Prophets had been sent to various communities in the world. If yes, who are they? ---------------------Name of Mufti Dr. M. M. Abu Laylah Wa`alaykum As-Salaamu Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. In The Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger. Dear questioner, thanks for forwarding your question to us, reflecting the great confidence you repose in us. We implore Allah to increase your Iman and religious knowledge, Amen. A clear and well-established fact in the Qur’an states that Allah Almighty sends Prophets and

Messengers to all nations of the world to warn them against disbelief and give glad tidings of the reward that awaits them in the Hereafter, if they obeyed Allah’s Messengers, followed their guidance and acted upon the Divine teachings. Allah Almighty says, “Lo! We have sent thee (Muhammad) with the Truth, a bearer of glad tidings and a warner; and there is not a nation but a warner hath passed among them.” (Fatir: 24) In his response to the question, Dr. Muhammad M. Abu Laylah, Professor of the Islamic Studies & Comparative Religions at Al-Azhar University, states the following: "We, Muslims, believe that Allah never deprive any nation in the world of having access to a divine message. This fact is referred to in the Qur’an, as Allah Almighty says: “And unto thee have We revealed the Scripture with the truth, confirming whatever Scripture was before it, and a watcher over it. So judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires

away from the truth which hath come unto thee. For each We have appointed a divine law and a traced out way. Had Allah willed He could have made you one community. But that He may try you by that which He hath given you (He hath made you as ye are). So vie one with another in good works. Unto Allah ye will all return, and He will then inform you of that wherein ye differ.” (Al-Ma’dah: 48) He Almighty also says: “Lo! We have sent thee with the Truth, a bearer of glad tidings and a warner; and there is not a nation but a warner hath passed among them.” (Fatir: 24) Allah tells us in the Qur’an that He doesn’t hold any person accountable for his deeds and words unless He has sent a Prophet to guide and teach him, for our mental faculty can not in itself search and know about God and goodness. Allah Almighty says: “Whosoever goeth right, it is only for (the good of) his own soul that he goeth right, and whosoever erreth, erreth only to its hurt. No laden soul can bear

another's load. We never punish until We have sent a messenger.” (Al-Israa’: 15) Also, in the Qur’an Allah reveals that He sent many Prophets. Some of them are mentioned in the Qur’an and others are not. He Almighty says: “ O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His messenger and the Scripture which He hath revealed unto His messenger, and the Scripture which He revealed aforetime. Whoso disbelieveth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers and the Last Day, he verily hath wandered far astray.” (Al-Nisaa’: 136) The Qur’an also refers to some Divine Scriptures such as the Scrolls of Abraham, the Torah of Moses, the Gospel of Jesus. We believe that before these books, Allah also revealed sacred revelations and inspirations. Having stated this, we’d like to make it clear that India was not exempted from this general Divine rule. Ancient India might have Prophets and Messengers, and also some Divine books as well. Until now, this can

be seen in the religious practices and devotions of the Indians. The Indians are very keen in observing religion and their traditions. That is why when Muslims entered India they considered the Indian religions as of quasi-divine origin and treated them like Jews and Christians. However, we should bear in mind that Islam neither accepts nor condones any practice of ascribing partners unto Allah. So there is no room in Islam for the belief in multi-gods." If you have any further comments, please don't hesitate to write back! May Allah guide you to the straight path, and guide you to that which pleases Him, Amen. Allah Almighty knows best. http://www.islamonline.net/fatwa/english/FatwaDisplay.asp?hFatwaID=82111

"But today it is the day I declare I am the One who have to save the humanity. I declare I am the One who is Adi Shakti (Holy Spirit or Ruh of Allah), who is the Mother of all Mothers, who is the Primordial Mother, the Shakti of the Desire of God who has incarnated on this Earth to give meaning to itself, to this Creation, to human beings. And I am sure that through My love and patience and My powers I am going to achieve it.

I was the One who was born again and again. But now I have come in My complete form and with complete powers. I have come to this Earth not only for salvation of human beings, not only for their emancipation, but for granting them the Kingdom of Heaven, the Joy, the Bliss that your Father (God, Allah, Sadashiva) wants to bestow upon you."
