UNIVERSALITY AND UNITY OF MESSAGE OF ISLAM



The Supreme Being, Allah (SW) sent His revelation as guidance to humanity through His Prophets who also doubled as messengers of Allah. Consider this Quranic verse:
“Say: We believe in God (Allah), and the revelation given to us, and that given to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to all prophets (including Adam and Muhammed) from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them and we submit to God” – Quran 2:136

Muslims believe in all God’s prophets from Adam, Noah(Nuh), Enoch(Idris), Abraham(Ibrahim), Ishmael, Isaac(Isiaq), Jacob(Yaqub), Moses(Musa), Jesus(Isa) and Muhammed, the last prophet (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon them all) and their REVELATION. However, each of them were sent to a specified tribe and nation. Prophet Muhammed (SAW) was the seal of all of them and the universal messenger. The Supreme Being, Allah (SW), asserted that “We sent you (Muhammed) not except as a mercy for the whole mankind” – Quran 21:107.

Confirming this divine and wonderful concept of equality in Islam, Prophet Muhammed (SAW), in his last sermon as narrated in Hadith (sayings of the Prophet), said:
“O people, your God is One and your father s one. You are all from Adam and Adam is from dust. An Arab is not superior to a non-Arab, and a non-Arab is not superior to an Arab. A white has no superiority over a black, nor does a black has superiority over a white. You are all equal. Nobody has superiority over others except through piety and good action”

Again, Prophet Muhammed (SAW)said in Hadith “I am the nearest of all the people to Jesus, the son of Mary. For there was no prophet between me and him(Jesus), The prophets are just brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one”

Should we not ponder over the question:
“Do they not consider the Quran (with care)? Had it been from other than Allah (the Supreme Being), they would surely have found therein much discrepancy”  - Quran 4:82.

MY QUESTIONS TO YINKA BABASOLA KEYEDE
(1) How do you proof it scientifically and logically that the world was created 11 billion years ago (References are needed).
(2) What is the scientific process behind “Big Bang Theory”?
(3) How long was the first man created after the supposed “Big Bang evolution of world” and what was responsible for his creation ?
