Why Allah Sent Prophets And Messengers?


Ever Since pepole innovated the dogma if Shink, (i.e. joinning others in worship along with Allah), Allah bad seen sending Prophets and Messenggers to his devottes in order to invite them to the worship of Allah and Allah Alone, to order then not to ascribe partners unto Him and bring them out of the darkness of polytheism into the light of Monotheism. All the Prophets preached Tauhid (i.e. Monotheism, the Belief in the Omeness of Allah, the Glorious, the Elevated). The following Verses from the Noble Qur'an illustrate this fact:

"Indeed We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people, and he said; 'O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other Ilah (God) but Him. (La ilaka illlallah, none has the right to be worshipped but Allah). Certainly, I fear for you the tormenr of a great Day'" (Verses 7:59).

"And to Ad (people, We sent) their brother Hud. He said; 'O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other Ilah (God) but Him. (La ilaha illallah, none has the right to be worshipped but Allah). Will you not fear (Allah)'" (Verses 7:65).

:And to (the people of) Madyan (Midian). (We sent) their brother Shu'aib. He said; 'O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other Ilah (God) but Him. (La ilaha illallah, none has the right to be worshipped but Allah). veryify, aclear proof(sign) from your Lord has come unto you, so give full measure and full weight and wrong not men in their things, and do not make mischief on the after it has been set in order, that will be better for you, if you are believers'". (Verses 7:85)

"And to Tham'ud (people, We sent) their brother Salih. He said; 'O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other iIlah (God) but Him. (La ilaha illallah, none has the right to be worshipped but Allah).'". (Verses 7:73)

"And verify. We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger (proaclaiming). Worship Allah (Alone) and avoid (or keep away from) Taghut [1](all false deities i.e. do not worship Taghut beside Allah)'" (Verses 16:36)

Every Prophet was sent unto his own nation for their guidence, but the Nessege of Prophet Muhammad was general for all mankind and jinn. As in Surat Al-Ar'af (Allah addresses His Messenger):

"Say (O Muhammad); O mankind; Verify, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah'" (Verses 7:158)

So the aim of sending these Prophets and MEssenger to men and jinn was only that they should worship Allah Alone, as Allah said.

"And I (Allah) created not the jinn and men except they should worship Me (Alone)" The Qur'an (Verses 51:56)

And on worship Allah means to obey Him and to do all He has ordained and to fear Him by Abstaining from all He bas forbidden.

Then Thoes who will obey Allah will be rewarded in Paradise, and those who will disobey Him will be punished in the Hell-fire.

 

Note:

[1]. The word Taghut covers a wide range of meanings; It means anything i.e. all the false deside worshipped other then the Real God (Allah). It may be Satan, devils, idols, stones, sun, stars, angels human being e.g. Isa (Jesus), Messenger of Allah, who were falsely worshiped and taken as Taghut. Likewise saints, graves, leaders, are falsely worshiped and wrongly followed.
