Question

Title: Regarding Da`wah of a Nabi (Prophet) Question: You declare that the Rasul (Messenger) makes the truth so evident that no one is left with any excuse for rejection. But this is not the case with a Nabi (prophet). Does this means that the Da`wah of a Nabi is not complete and it leaves the addressees with doubts? Dr M Asif Answer: I would not like to say that the propagation of a prophet of God is incomplete and leaves doubts in the minds of the addressees. On the contrary, I would only say that the level at which Itmaam al-Hujjah [1] is targeted and achieved through a Messenger of God is absolute and is, therefore, followed by the severe punishment of the rejecters. I hope this helps. Regards, Moiz Amjad December 5, 2001 [1] Removal of excuse for rejection.
