All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds! Happy return is to the pious! Transgression should be on none but wrongdoers! I testify that there is no deity but Allah Who has no partner along with Him, the Lord of the ancients and the moderns, and the Everlasting in the heavens and the earth. I testify that Muhammad is Allah's servant, messenger, beloved and trustworthy over His Revelation, whom Allah sent to mankind as a bearer of good tidings, a constant warner, a caller to Allah by His Leave, and as a lamp spreading light. May Allah's Peace be upon him and upon his family and Companions who followed his way in Da`wah (calling) to Allah and fought in Allah's Cause until Allah raised His religion high and made it evident though the polytheists hate it.
Allah (Exalted be He) has created the jinn and mankind just to worship Him Alone and associate no other partner along with Him. He (Glorified be He) has created them so that He would be glorified and be known by His Names and Attributes. Allah (may He be Praised) says: And I (Allâh) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone). Allah (may He be Exalted and Glorified) says: O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allâh), Who created you and those who were before you so that you may become AlMuttaqûn (the pious See V.2:2). Allah (may He be Praised) also says: It is Allâh Who has created seven heavens and of the earth the like thereof (i.e. seven). His Command descends between them (heavens and earth), that you may know that Allâh has power over all things, and that Allâh surrounds all things in (His) Knowledge.
Through this we should known that the wisdom behind creation is that Allah (may He be Praised) should be known by His Names and Attributes; He is Able to do all things; He surrounds all things in His Knowledge; and that He must be worshiped, glorified and the creation must submit to His Glory. This is because worship is submission and humility to Allah (Glorified be He). Allah's commands and prohibitions are deemed acts of worship because they are performed with humbleness and submissiveness to Allah (Glorified be He).
Since the details of worship can not be understood wholly and perfectly by the mind which can not realize what has been enjoined or made forbidden, Allah (Exalted be He) sent the messengers and revealed divine books to show the reason for which He has created the creation in detail, so that they can worship Allah and avoid what He has forbidden with certainty. This is because the messengers (peace be upon them) are guides for the creation. They call the jinn and mankind to obey Allah and worship Him Alone. Allah (Exalted be He) has honored and been merciful with the creation by sending them messengers to show people the straight path so that people should not say that no prophets with glad tidings or warnings have been sent to them to show them what is right and what is wrong, thus leaving no excuse before Allah after He had sent messengers and prophets. Allah has set evidence against people by sending them the messengers and revealing divine books to them. Allah (Glorified be He) says: And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger (proclaiming): "Worship Allâh (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Tâghût (all false deities i.e. do not worship Tâghût besides Allâh)." Allah (may He be Praised) says: And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) but We revealed to him (saying): Lâ ilâha illa Ana [none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allâh)], so worship Me (Alone and none else)."
Allah (Glorified be He) also says: Indeed, We have sent Our Messengers with clear proofs, and revealed with them the Scripture and the Balance (justice) that mankind may keep up justice. and: Mankind were one community and Allâh sent Prophets with glad tidings and warnings, and with them He sent down the Scripture in truth to judge between people in matters wherein they differed. Allah (Glorified be He) indicates that He sent the messengers and the divine books to judge between people by justice and show them the matters of Shari`ah (Law) and `Aqidah (creed) in which they differ.
lineage and status, they envied. He faced stubbornness of the notables and ignorance and imitation of the common people. The notables rejected, were haughty and envied him, and the common people imitated others and misunderstood. As a result, the Prophet (peace be upon him) was harmed a lot.
The following Ayah indicates that noble people knew that truth but they denied it. Allah (Glorified be He) says: We know indeed the grief which their words cause you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ): it is not you that they deny, but it is the Verses (the Qur'ân) of Allâh that the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers) deny.
They did not fear anyone in Allah's Cause. They conveyed Allah's Message, fearing none but Him Alone (may He be Praised). They scattered all over the world, fighting in Allah's Cause and calling people to the faith of Islam. They spread Islam, taught people Shari`ah and `Aqidah with which Allah sent all messengers, which is represented in worshiping Allah Alone and abandoning the worship of other gods such as trees, stones, idols, etc., so that none should be invoked but Allah, none should be asked for help but Allah, no laws should be judged by but Allah's, none should be offered Salah but Allah, none should be offered sacrifices but Allah, and so on. They told people that worship was the right of Allah Alone. They recited the Qur'an, focusing on this right, such as Allah's Saying: O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allâh), And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him., You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything)., so invoke not anyone along with Allâh. and, Say (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ): "Verily, my Salât (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists). "He has no partner.
religious people, Arabs and nonArabs, from Arabia and other parts of the world, who have been predestined to be granted everlasting happiness by embracing Islam, calling to Allah's religion and fighting in Allah's Cause patiently. They have mastered the whole world because of their patience, faith and fighting in the Cause of Allah (Glorified be He). Allah's statement to the Children of Israel can be applicable to them : And We made from among them (Children of Israel), leaders, giving guidance under Our Command, when they were patient and used to believe with certainty in Our Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). Such a statement can be applicable to them
