If man accepted the idea of
'Lordship' and confesses that this universe has got a Creator and
that this Creator should be One, easy, it would become quite easy
to accept the thought of prophet-hood as a mediation linking
between Allah, the Almighty, and mankind to convey the divine
messages to man and that this mediation which has no alternative
would be very significant and for this great significance, it is
considered one of the great origins on which all the bases of
religions and heavenly legislatures are built.
It is also considered a divine
justice for the whole of mankind without which man wouldn't have
known His Lord the rope that links the heavens to the earth.
Prophet-hood is a binding link between man and his Lord without
which the rope that links the sky to the earth and the whole of
mankind would have drowned in a sea of ignorance and
misguidance.
"He it is who sent among the
unlettered ones a Messenger from among themselves, reciting to
them His Verses; purifying them from the filth of disbelief and
polytheism and teaching them the Book and legal way, orders and
verily they had been before in manifest error."
Let us supposedly assume that
Allah hasn't sent messengers to people … would it not be a wonder
as to how people will know their Lord?! How will they worship Him
and in what way will His teachings, Books and religions reach
them? And is it fair to find Allah, the Almighty torment people
for their disbelief without sending them rightful guides? as
stated in the verse which says: "We were not torturing them till
We sent them a messenger".
We can adduce ample instances to
you that man can't be guided to Allah without a guiding hand as
we can witness the peoples of the earth – the Non-religious, the
Buddhists, the Hindus, and others as well as those who are
leading a primitive life in the Amazon jungles and Africa and
other regions who were kept unguided to have due knowledge of God
at all for prophets found no access to them or for their denial
of those prophets and here lies the necessity of sending prophets
to the human society.
