[quote][size=2]In reply to Hislam adopted by studying islam??? course

Salam hk,

Quote:- A study of the Qur’an shows that besides being assigned the position of “Prophethood” (nabuwwah), some of them were also assigned the position of “Messengerhood” (risalah).

Reply:- Where brother, Qur’an showed you this? Could you be able to provide us this point??? If not, then please refrain from diverting others from the path of God.

Instead Qur’an gives the IDEA  that  “All prophets were messenger, but All messengers were not prophet”.

"follow the messenger, the prophet (gentile prophet) (Muhammed), whom they find written in their Torah and Gospel . . . "7:157

"..........therefore you shall believe in God and His messenger, the prophet (gentile prophet), who believes in God and His words. Follow him, that you may be guided." 7:158

In 7:157 and 7:158 God described the Prophet Muhammed as, "the messenger the prophet" and not as "the prophet the messenger," not a coincidence. The reason is that not every messenger is a prophet. If every messenger was prophet, then God had not require to say “the messenger, the prophet”. Therefore the word PROPHET is used after the messenger to further define and clarify the description of that messenger.

Now pl. compare the above with the following verses:-

"Am I more than a human messenger (Basharan Rasoula)"  17:93

Notice: " a human messenger" and NOT "a messenger human (Rasoulan Bashara)."

The reason is that not every Bashar (human) is a Rasoul (messenger) while every Rasoul (messenger) from among us is a Bashar (human).

17:94 has the same expression again, human messenger (Basharan Rasoula), not (Rasoulan Bashara)

Again Compare:-

" . . . we would have sent to them from the sky an angel messenger (Malakan Rasoula)"  17:95

Notice, "an angle messenger" and NOT "a messenger angel (Rasoulan Malaka).  The reason is that not every angel is a messenger but every messenger FROM God's soldiers is an angel.

Another example for the idea that All Messengers were not Prophets:

"God took a covenant from the PROPHETS, saying, "I will give you the SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM. Afterwards, a MESSENGER will come to CONFIRM all existing scriptures.  You shall believe in him and support him." He said, "Do you agree with this, and pledge to fulfill this covenant?" They said, "We agree." He said, "You have thus borne witness, and I bear witness along with you." 3:81

The above verse clearly gives the idea that ALL MESSENGERS (at least in one case according to the above verse) were not PROPHETS. If All Messengers were prophets, then it would be meaningless to say that “God took a covenant from the PROPHETS & Afterwards, a MESSENGER will come..”

Quote:- “Messengerhood” means that a prophet is assigned to his people such that he decides their fate through divine sanction so that if they reject him, he practically enforces the sovereignty of the truth upon them by implementing on them God’s Judgement in this very world:

Reply:- Smile.. Do you not read and understand the following verses:

[72:21]   Say, "I possess no power to harm you, nor to guide you."

[88:21]   You shall remind, for your mission IS TO DELIVER THIS REMINDER.

[88:22]   You have no power over them.

[88:23]   As for those who turn away and disbelieve.

[88:24]   GOD will commit them to the great retribution.

[88:25]   To us is their ultimate destiny.

[88:26]   Then we will call them to account.

[5:99]   The sole duty of the messenger is TO DELIVER THE MESSAGE, and GOD knows everything you declare and everything you conceal.

[6:48]   We do not send the messengers EXCEPT AS DELIVERERS OF GOOD NEWS, AS WELL AS WARNERS. Those who believe and reform have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

[13:40]   Whether we show you what we promise them, or terminate your life before that, YOUR SOLE MISSION IS TO DELIVER (the message). It is us who will call them to account.
