A boon for Muslims

Finality of Prophethood A boon for Muslims

Proclamation of God that the Prophethood had come to its end, made even before the Prophet left this fleeing world, was a godsend blessing for Muslims. The declaration that no new prophet would come after Muhammad, nor would there be a new revelation, nor a new religious order after him, was bounty from God envied by the learned and earnest Rabbis of the Jews who were aware of the stimulus given to eschatological speculations, confusion of thought and religious schisms brought about by the pseudo-Messiahs during the long periods of distress undergone by the Jewish people. An authentic Tradition records that “Once a Rabbi said to Caliph (Umar: You have a verse in your Holy Book, which, if it had been revealed to us we would have celebrated the day of its revelation as a festival.” Caliph (Umar asked: “Which is that verse?” The Rabbi replied: “It is: This day have I perfected your religion for you, and have chosen for you as religion AL-ISLAM.”2 Caliph (Umar said: “I fully remember the day and the time when this verse was revealed to the Prophet, on whom be peace and blessings. It was Friday, the evening of Arafa.”3

The incident illustrates the great honour bestowed on Muslims and also the feeling of jealousy it aroused in the learned among the Jews. The Tradition also speaks of the omission of this great guarantee for other religions and the cause of their lack of confidence which is, contrarily, so very conspicuous in the followers of Islam. There is, however, nothing strange in it, for, the earlier religions were sent down at a time when the human race as well as its religious consciousness were passing through different stages of development. The mantle of final prophethood, like a robe of honor, was meant for man mature of days, and, therefore, it was reserved for the last of the prophets. Only the followers of the last Prophet, the best of people among the human race, deserved that honor...
