In previous videos, we briefly studied the ethical need to believe in the Prophets and their message. Now, we'll discuss the historical need for prophethood. Then, we'll look at the diversity of the proofs that confirmed previous messengers' prophethood. Anyone versed in Biblical scripture, and anyone who has studied the condition of the world before the prophethood of Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him, would conclude that Almighty God had to send a messenger. This was for two reasons. People were waiting for the final prophesied messenger. And an all-compassionate God could not let the atrocities of the world continue much longer. In various Biblical verses, God promises the coming of a prophet. Consider Deuteronomy 18.18, I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. Okay, now let's shift gears and look at some prophetic proofs. Since prophethood is necessary for prosperity and salvation, the proofs for it were beyond enumeration. Number 1, Allah the Exalted equipped Moses with nine signs. Some of them were designed to stump the sorcerers in their own forte, while others exposed the tyrant's claim to supreme power. Number 2, He equipped Jesus with the capacity to cure the incurable. For those around him took great pride in their expert medicine and proficiency in healing the sick. Number 3, Allah the Exalted also surrounded Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him with a multitude of proofs, for he was Allah's mercy to all the worlds and hence had to be relevant to all at his time and for all time to come.
The proofs of his divine ministry include converts who accepted his message just by glancing at his face or hearing just a few words uttered from Muhammad's mouth. Alright, you've made it to just about the end of this course. Move on to video number 5 to wrap up what you've learned so far.
