The Signs of The Perfect One
” WE explain the Signs in detail for those who reflect.” Surah Yunus 10: 24
It’s deeply disturbing, very sadly indeed of the on-going Malaise in the Muslim World.

An important guidance of the Quran is being ignored by the many Muslims, that is about the coming of a messenger (Rasool) after a prophet. This has been repeated at various places in the Quran:
“O, Children of Adam, whenever messengers come to you from yourself reciting to you my commands (verses) then whosoever feared Allah and did good deeds on them shall come no fear nor shall they grieve. ” 7:35/36.
It shows that messengers come after the prophet, presenting the same message to people. They keep alive the teaching of the Prophet. Prophets do not remain amongst their people for long time. Prophets are always followed by other messengers. (Rusul is plural of Rasool).
Allah took solumn pledge from all the prophets (and their followers) to believe in the messengers who will come in their Ummah. ( See 3:80/81) This pledge was also taken from the prophet Muhammad s.a.w.s. (see verse 8 of Chapter 33.)
The maulvis (clerics) have misguided the Muslims about the status of a messenger i.e. rasool. They say that every messenger is prophet but every prophet is not a messenger. The Maulvis give a very high status to the messenger, well above that of a prophet. That is not correct. A messenger can be a Prophet and a follower of a prophet.
According to the above mentioned verse, we need to know about the messengers who followed the prophet Muhammad s.a.w.s. What are the names of those messengers? There should be at least one such messenger i.e. Rasool.
