not restricted to a particular time or place, rather it was a
universal Da'wah; one to last until the end of time.
There is much evidence to substantiate this and some wonderful
examples can be found in the Quran. Allaah clarifies the timeless
prophetic role of Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, in the
following verses )which mean(:
"And We have not sent you )O Muhammad( except as a giver of glad
tidings and as a warner to all mankind."]Quran 34:28[
"Say )O Muhammad(: 'O mankind! Verily, I am sent to you all as the
Messenger of Allaah."]Quran 7:158[
"Blessed be He Who sent down the criterion )of right and wrong, i.e.,
this Quran( to His slave )Muhammad( that he may be a Warner to the
'Aalameen )mankind and Jinn(."]Quran 25:1[
There is a Hadeeth in which the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu
'alayhi wa sallam, said:"I have been given superiority over the other
Prophets in six respects: I have been given words which are concise
but comprehensive in meaning; I have been helped by terror )in the
hearts of enemies(; spoils have been made lawful to me; the earth has
been made for me clean and a place of worship; I have been sent to all
of mankind and the line of Prophets is closed with me."]Muslim[
The proof that the Da'wah )call( of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi
wa sallam, was also for the Jinn is manifested in the statement of
Allaah Almighty )which means(:"And )remember( when We sent towards you
)O Muhammad ( Nafran )three to ten persons( of the Jinns, )quietly(
listening to the Quran. When they stood in the presence thereof, they
said: 'Listen in silence!' And when it was finished, they returned to
their people, as warners. They said: 'O our people! Verily, we have
heard a Book )this Quran( sent down after Moses, confirming what came
before it, it guides to the truth and to a Straight Path )i.e.,
Islam(. O our people, respond )with obedience( to Allaah's caller, and
believe in him )i.e., believe in that which Muhammad has brought from
Allaah and follow him(. He )Allaah( will forgive you of your sins, and
will save you from a painful torment )i.e., Hell-fire(.'"]Quran 46:
29-31[
Thus, the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, spread his Da'wah
outside of his own people, and indeed, outside the Arab world
entirely. The introduction of Islamic Da'wah spread globally after a
truce was made with the Quraysh in the treaty of Hudaybiyyah. He,
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, sent messengers and wrote letters to
the various kings of his time. The first of these messengers according
to Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him, was 'Amr ibn
'Umayyah ad-Dimry, may Allaah be pleased with him, who was sent to
Negus, King of Abyssinia )Ethiopia(. He carried a letter, rather an
invitation, which stated: "Come to a word that is just between us and
you, that we worship none but Allaah, and that we associate no
partners with Him; and that none of us shall take others as lords
besides Allaah. Then, if they turn away, say: "Bear witness that we
are Muslims."
Thus, the king and whoever was with him believed in the message.
The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, also sent 'Abdullaah ibn
Huthayfah, may Allaah be pleased with him, to Chosroes, ruler of
Persia, with a letter that stated: "In the name of Allaah, the
Beneficent, the Most Merciful, from Muhammad, Messenger of Allaah to
Chosroes, Shah of Persia. Peace be upon those who follow the truth,
who believe in Allaah and His Prophet and who testify that there is no
divinity but Allaah and that Muhammad is His Messenger. I call you
with the Call of Allaah, because I am His Messenger, sent that I may
give warning to him who is living, and that the Word )charge( may be
justified against the disbelievers, that if they do not accept His
Message, they must live with the consequence. Become Muslim and you
will be safe. If you refuse, then upon you is the sin of the Magians."
When Chosroes read this, he tore the letter up, so the Prophet,
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said: "May Allaah also tear up his
kingdom."
The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, also wrote a letter to
Heraclius, the ruler of the Byzantine, in which he said: "In the name
of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. This letter is from Muhammad
the slave of Allaah and His Messenger to Heraclius, the ruler of the
Byzantine. Peace be upon those who follow the right path. Furthermore,
I invite you to Islam and if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and
Allaah will double your reward, and if you reject this invitation of
Islam you will be committing a sin by misguiding your subjects. And I
recite to you Allaah's statement )which means(:"Say )O Muhammad(: 'O
people of the Scripture: Come to a word that is just between us and
you, that we worship none but Allaah, and that we associate no
partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords
besides Allaah.' Then, if they turn away, say: 'Bear witness that we
are Muslims.'"]Quran 3:64[
The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, similarly sent numerous
messages to other kings, each conveying an identical meaning as those
above.
These letters re-affirm an understood reality - that Islam is a
universal religion, for all creation. Thus, it was a duty upon the
Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, to convey the pure message of
Islam, calling everyone he knew, by every means available at that time
with beautiful preaching in its purest form.*
