WA ASHHADU ANNA MUHAMMADAN ABDUHU WA RASOOLUHU

WA ASHHADU ANNA MUHAMMADAN ABDUHU WA RASOOLUHU
And I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger
It is also a great favour of Kind and Merciful Allah for mankind that He managed to impart the essential knowledge and guidance concerning the righteous beliefs and the right way of life to mankind which cannot be obtained by himself or any other source.
There are two major reasons that Almighty Allah has managed to impart the knowledge to His slaves. Firstly, He promised Adam and Eve (be peace on them) to the guidance for their progeny. Secondly, some shortsighted, mad and fanatic people used to invent countless ways and systems of human life according to their own incomplete views and visions in all the ages. They have been presenting them before the common people. In spite of the fact that none can achieve the right perception about any thing concerning human life, because, it is impossible to acquire the whole concerned knowledge about anything. So, to counter these baseless ways and systems of life was indispensable:
It rests with Allah to show you the right way, even when there are many crooked ways. (The Holy Quran: 16:9)
To impart the holy knowledge and guidance to His slaves, Almighty Allah has sent down only one source. This is Risalah (Prophethood). Almighty Allah chose His pious slaves as His Rasool (Messengers) everywhere from within the same nation and community they belonged. Through the medium of these Rasool Allah sent down His Books with all these knowledge and appointed His Rasool to recite, explain, interpret and elucidate what was revealed in the Books, as well as to act upon according to the knowledge and guidance revealed by Almighty Allah in His Holy Books:
A Messenger is sent to every people. (The Holy Quran : 16:9)
He sent down with them the Book embodying the Truth so that it might judge among people in their disputes. (The Holy Quran : 2:213)
Muhammad (be peace on him) is the last Messenger of Allah, by whom Allah has revealed His last Holy Book ‘The Glorious Quran’:
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. (The Holy Quran : 48:29)
Say (O Muhammad):“O people! I am Allah’s Messenger to you all of Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth”. (The Holy Quran : 7:158)
And follow him (Muhammad) so that you may be guided a right. (The Holy Quran : 7:158)

The last Messenger Hazrat Muhammad (be peace on him) is the Messenger for the entire people of the world for ever till the doomsday :
We have sent you forth (O Muhammad) as nothing but mercy to people of the world. (The Holy Quran : 21 : 107)
O Prophet! We have not sent you forth but as a herald of good news and a warner for all mankind. (The Holy Quran : 34:28)
He who obeys the Messenger, has indeed obeyed Allah. (The Holy Quran : 4:80)

Therefore, all the people are bound to believe in his Messengership and to respect and honour him (be peace on him) as the last and universal Messenger of Allah, as well as to obey him as their only leader and guide. To obey him only is, in fact, obeying and praying Almighty Allah. Because, Allah has commanded His slaves to do so.
We have sent you to mankind (O Muhammad), as a Messenger, and Allah is sufficient as a witness. He who obeys the Messenger thereby obeys Allah. (The Holy Quran:4:79-80)
(O Messenger), tell people, “If you indeed love Allah, follow me, and Allah will love you and will forgive you your sins. Allah is All-Forgiving, All-compassionate.” If they turn away from this then know that Allah does not love those who refuse to obey Him and His Messenger. (The Holy Quran:3:31-32)

The continuity of the prophethood and Messengership started with the inception of the father of human beings Hazrat Adam (be peace on him) and concluded with Hazrat Muhammad (be peace on him). Thus, Deen Haque (the true religion) revealed by Almighty Allah has been concluded through the medium of Hazrat Muhammad (be peace on him) and the blessings, bounties and grace of Allah have been completed. Moreover, Almighty Allah has announced that he would preserve the Deen Haque forever. Therefore, there is no need of any further Messenger at all:
But he (Muhammad, be peace on him) is the Messenger of Allah and the last of the prophets. Allah has full knowledge of everything. (The Holy Quran : 33:40)
This day I have perfected for you your religion, and have bestowed upon you my bounty in full measure, and have been pleased to assign for you Islam as your religion. (The Holy Quran : 5:3)
Indeed, it is We Who have revealed it (the Holy Quran) and it is indeed We Who are its guardians. (The Holy Quran:15:9)

And Almighty Allah has revealed His last Book ‘Holy Quran’ upon His last Messenger Hazrat Muhammad (be peace on him) and he was appointed and delegated to educate and elucidate the Holy Quran, as well as to purify the believers and to be the ideal and active model himself in accordance with the knowledge and guidance of the Holy Quran.
We raised the Messengers earlier with clear signs and Divine Books, and We have now sent down this Reminder (the Holy Quran) upon you that you may elucidate to people the teaching that has been sent for them, and that the people may themselves reflect. (The Holy Quran: 16:44)
Indeed, there is a good example for you in the Messenger of Allah (Hazrat Muhammad), for all those who look forward to Allah and the Last Day and remember Allah much: (The Holy Quran : 33:21)

Therefore, to believe in Hazrat Muhammad (be peace on him) is not the believing in him till believing in the Holy Book ‘Quran’ revealed to him:
So belief in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad) and in the Light (the Holy Quran) that we have sent down. Allah is fully aware of what you do. (The Holy Quran : 64:8)
It is the great mercy and blessings of Almighty Allah who has granted the great grace and good luck for the welfare and success of people in this world as well as in the hereafter by the revelation of His Holy Book ‘Quran’. The Holy Quran is a treasury of comprehensive and Omniscient knowledge, guidance and admonition. This is a luminiferous Book that covers all round knowledge and guidance. This is the only Book which leads and identify the right directions and ways of life and prohibits and protects from ill-thinking, illiteracy, sins and misdeeds. Moreover, this is the only Book in the sense that it describes its matters plainly, clearly and decisively. In short, this Book has been revealed for the human beings. It describes all the affairs related to the humans and it is the greatest mercy, blessings and prosperity for the believers who accept the knowledge of the Book and adopt the guidance of the Book sincerely:
Indeed, We have sent down for you a Book (the Holy Quran) that mentions you. Do you not understand? (The Holy Quran : 21: 10)
Indeed, there has come to you from Allah a Light (Messenger Muhammad) and a very clear Book (the Holy Quran), through which Allah shows to all (the humans), who seek to please Him, the paths leadings to safety. He brings them out of darkness by His will unto light and guides them on to the straight path. (The Holy Quran ; 5:15-16)
O mankind! Now there has come to you an exhortation from your Lord, a healing for the ailments of the hearts, and a guidance and mercy for those who believe. Tell them, (O prophet!): “Let them rejoice in Allah’s grace and mercy through which this (Book) has come to you. It is better than all the riches that they accumulate. (The Holy Quran: 10: 57-58)
Verily, this Quran guides to the way that is straight-most. To those who believe in it, and do righteous works, it gives the good news that a great reward awaits them, and warns those who do not believe in the Hereafter that we have prepared for them a grievous punishment. (The Holy Quran:17:9-10)
And We have sent down to you the Book (the Holy Quran) as an exposition of everything, a guidance, a mercy, and glad tidings for those who have submitted themselves to Allah. (The Holy Quran: 16:89)
(O people!) follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord and follow no masters other than Him. (The Holy Quran:7:3)
O people! fear of your Lord and dread the Day when no father will stand for his child, nor any child stand for his father. Surely, Allah’s promise is true. So let the life of this world not beguile you, nor let the deluder delude you about Allah. (The Holy Quran:31:33)

Congratulations to those people who accept the truths, then adopt them as the only aim, objective and purpose of their lives decisively, and devote their whole lives for the sake of the truths firmly. The root-cause of all the truths is Kalimah Shahadah Ashahadu Alla ilaha illa Allahu Wahdahu la Sharika lahu wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa Rasooluhu. ( I bear witness that none has the right to be Lord and to be worshipped except Allah, who is alone, who has no partner or associate and I bear witness that Muhammad (be peace on him) is His slave and His Messenger.)
