Fariq Naik – Muhammad (pbuh) is a Universal Messenger

			The topic
		

			of this evening's talk of mine is
		

			prophet Muhammad,
		

			peace be upon him, the liberator
		

			of humanity.
		

			I started my talk with the quotation from
		

			the glorious Quran, from Surah Anbiya,
		

			chapter number 21, verse number 107.
		

			That we have send thee not but as
		

			a mercy to all the worlds,
		

			as a mercy to all the creatures,
		

			as a mercy to the whole of humanity.
		

			Allah
		

			says in Surah Saba chapter number 34 verse
		

			number 28.
		

			That we have sent thee not, but as
		

			a universal
		

			messenger
		

			giving glad tidings and warning men against sin.
		

			But most of them did not understand.
		

			Since Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, he
		

			was the last and final messenger.
		

			He was not sent only for the Muslims
		

			or only for the Arabs.
		

			But prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, he
		

			was sent for the entire humanity.
		

			And I would like to share with you
		

			an incident
		

			of Suhail bin Amr. Suhail bin Amr, he
		

			was sent by the Quraysh
		

			to negotiate with the prophet
		

			before the treaty of Hudaybiyyah.
		

			Now, Sohail bin Amr, he was an international
		

			negotiator.
		

			He had been to the Roman Empire.
		

			He had been to the Persian Empire. He
		

			had been to Abyssinia,
		

			and
		

			he had
		

			a firsthand experience
		

			of how the Sahaba
		

			dealt with the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		

			Now, Suhail bin Amr, when he returns back
		

			to the Quraysh,
		

			he tells them
		

			that I have seen the Roman Empire,
		

			I have seen the Persian Empire,
		

			I have seen the Empire of Abyssinia,
		

			but I have not seen any followers
		

			love and respect
		

			their leader so much, the way the Sahaba
		

			love
		

			and respect the prophet Muhammad peace be upon
		

			him.
		

			Suhail bin Amr, being a non Muslim,
		

			he
		

			was shocked
		

			and impressed with how the Sahaba
		

			dealt with the prophet Muhammad peace be upon
		

			him.
