Allah (The Exalted) sent His blessed Prophets to guide humans along the right path. From Prophet Adam عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ to Prophet Esa عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ, the only religion preached by all blessed Prophets and Rusuls by inviting people to follow was none but Islam. Neither did Prophet Musa عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ preach Judaism nor did Prophet Esa عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ preach Christianity. Along with completing and perfecting the religion, ‘Islam’, the final Messenger ﷺ testified all the blessed Prophets. Islam, the perfectly completed religion allows no addition or disallowance in it. It vividly illustrates that the chain of Prophethood has reached its culmination in the final Messenger, “Muhammad Rasoolullah ﷺ”, the most Respected and Revered Prophet. After His Eminence, no one will be granted the status of Prophethood. Since the prophethood of the Holy Prophet ﷺ is universal and eternal, the salvation of all nations lies in having firm faith in the Final Messenger. Just as it is necessary to believe in the oneness of Allah, Prophethood of the Holy Prophet ﷺ, and the hereafter, it is equally essential to have a firm belief in the finality of the prophethood of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, for denying it is a sheer act of disbelief.
