WHY ALLaH SENT PROPHETS AND MESSENGERS

Ever since people innovated the dogma of Shirk
(i.e. joining others in worship along with Allah) Allah
had been sending Prophets and Messengers to his
devotees in order to invite them to the worship of Allah
and Allah Alone, to order them not to ascribe partners
unto Him and bring them out of darkness of polytheism
into the light of Monotheism. All the Prophets preached
Tauhid (i.e. Monotheism, the Belief in the Oneness of
Allah, the Glorious, the Elevated. The following verses
from the Noble Quran illustrate this fact:
"Indeed We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people, and he said:
'O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other Ilah (God)
but him. (La illaha illallah, none has the right to be worshipped
but Allah). Certainly, I fear for you the torment of a great Day!
( V. 7:59 ).
"And to 'Ad (people, We sent) their brother Hud. He said:
'O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other Illah (God)
but Him. (La illaha illallah, none has the right to be worshipped
but Allah). Will you not fear (Allah)?" ( V.7:65 ).
And to (the people of) Madyan, (We sent) their brother Shu 'aib.
He said: O my people! Worship Allah you have no other Illah (God)
but Him. (La illaha illallah, none has the right to be worshipped but
Allah). Verily, a clear proof (sign) from your Lord has come unto you,
so give full measure and full weigh and wrong not men in their things,
and do not make mischief on the earth after it has been set in order,
that will be better for you, if you are believers." ( V. 7:85 )
And to Thamud (people, We sent) their brother Salih. He said: 'O my
people! Worship Allah! You have no other Illah (God) but Him. (La illaha
illallah, none has the right to be worship but Allah).' " ( V.7:73 )
And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation)
a Messenger (proclaiming): Worship Allah (Alone) and avoid (or keep
away from) Taghut (all false deities i.e. do not worship Taghut besides
Allah). " ( V. 16:36 )
Every Prophet was sent unto his own nation for their guidance, but the
message of Prophet Muhammad was general for all mankind and jinn.
As in Surat al A' raf' (Allah addresses His Messenger):
"Say ( O Muhammad ): `O mankind: Verily, I am sent to you all as the
messenger of Allah. ' " (V. 7:158).
So the aim of sending these Prophets and Messengers to men and jinn
was only that they should worship Allah Alone as Allah said:
And I (Allah) created not the jinn and men except theyshould worship
Me (Alone)" ( V. 51:56 ).
And to worship Allah means to oney Him and to do all He has ordained
and to fear Him by obstaining from all He has forbidden.
Then those who will obey Allah will be rewarded in Paradise, those who
will disobey Him will be punished in Hell-fire
