[quote]This is the view of Javaid AHmad Ghamidhi from his book Meezaan.

This position of shaha#dah was bestowed, besides other Messengers, upon the progeny of Abraham (sws) too. For this reason, the Qur’a#n (2:143) called them an intermediate group (ummat-i wasat@) between Him and His creation, and asserted that they have been chosen for this position just as the Almighty chooses some great personalities among mankind and grants them the status of a Prophet or a Messenger:

وَجَاهِدُوا فِي اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ هُوَ اجْتَبَاكُمْ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ مِّلَّةَ أَبِيكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ هُوَ سَمَّاكُمُ الْمُسْلِمينَ مِن قَبْلُ وَفِي هَذَا لِيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاء عَلَى النَّاسِ (78:22)
And struggle for the cause of God in a befitting manner. He has chosen you [for this responsibility], and laid on you no burdens in the observance of your faith. He has chosen for you the way of Abraham, your father. He named you Muslims earlier and in this [period of the last prophet] as well. [He had chosen you] so that the prophet may bear witness against you, and that you yourselves may bear witness [to this religion] against other people of this world. (22:78)[/quote]
