عن كتاب The Universal Mercy of the prophet Muhammad Mission:
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent in Mercy, the Most

Merciful

All praise is for Allah the Exalted and may the peace and blessings
of Allah be upon His Messenger Muhammad and his family and

companions and all those who follow them
(and their way) until the Day of Resurrection

The Prophet Muhammad was sent by Allah as a mercy for all the
worlds, and this is one of the many reasons for which Muslims
invoke the salutation upon him with the words “may the
salutations, praises, prayers, peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him” or as we say in the Arabic language, ( وسـلم عليه االله صلى,(
SALL ALLAHU ALAIHI WA SALLAM (often shortened to:
peace and blessings be upon him)
The scriptural basis for the belief that the Prophet Muhammad was
sent as a mercy, peace and blessings be upon him, is in the revealed
Book of Allah, the Holy Qur`an, when the Almighty and Exalted
said in Surat al-Anbiya`a (Chapter of the Prophets: 21):

The Universal Mercy of the Prophet
Muhammad’s Mission

“And We have written in the Psalms after the remembrance that
the land is inherited by My righteous servants. * Verily in this
(Quran) is a notification for a people that worship (Allah). And We
have not sent you except as a mercy to the universe. * Say ‘Indeed it
is revealed to me that your god is only one God, so will you be
Muslims in submission to Him?’* But if they turn away then say, ‘I
have announced to all equally, and I do not know whether what you
are promised is near or far away. * Indeed, He knows what is
openly declared and He knows what you conceal. * I do not know
but perhaps this a trial for you, and a mere (respite of) enjoyment
for a time.’ * He (the Prophet) said, O My Lord judge in truth, and
our Lord is the Most Beneficent in Mercy, and He is the One
whose aid is sought against that which you describe (in
blasphemy).”
The crucial verse for our subject is the saying of Allah, ‘And We
have not sent you except as a mercy to the universe.’ This qualifies
the entire mission as a mercy intended to all people. The context is
also important since this declaration came to us in the general
context of calling to Islam, to wholehearted submission to Allah, to
pure monotheism, and to righteous acts of sincere worship before
the coming of the promised Day of Resurrection. Thus we have
three aspects of this mercy: the sender of mercy, the messenger of
mercy, and the message of mercy. The mercy can only be fully
activated by our full acceptance of the God of Mercy and his
Prophet of Mercy, and by our being truly merciful to others and to
ourselves by following the teachings of the message of mercy.
This book before you will explain the concept of mercy, that Allah
is the Most Merciful in the general sense and in the special sense,

The Universal Mercy of the Prophet
Muhammad’s Mission

that mercy permeates the teachings and message of Islam, and that
mercy is the dominant characteristic of the Prophet’s personality
and his mission as the Messenger of Allah to the various worlds of
the universe. This thread of inquiry will carry us through our entire
investigation. We will direct the line of search and present our
understanding and our elucidation, but will let the presentation of
many clear scriptures of revelation in Islam from the Qur`an and
the Sunnah speak directly to prove these points with minimal
explanation, by the will and aid of Allah Almighty.
Before we initiate this journey we must give some terminology and
the authenticated sources of reliable knowledge about Islam in a
preliminary manner to keep the investigation on proper course
since misconceptions are often derived from misconceptions about
definitions and misinformation from unreliable sources.
