The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم was commissioned as a Prophet for all peoples of the world till the Day of Judgement

To day I want to say something briefly about such a theme of the teachings of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم as is very necessary today but is generally overlooked. Almighty Allah sent the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم to this world as the last of the Prophets عليه السلام thus finalising with him صلى الله عليه و سلم the chain of Prophethood. Another distinction which Allah bestowed upon him صلى الله عليه و سلم over other Prophets عليه السلام is that the latter Prophets were sent to some particular people residing in a particular land in a particular age. Their teachings and preachings were confined to a particular territory. For example, Hazrat Moosa (Moses) عليه السلام sent to the Children of Israel, living in Egypt and his prophethood was limited only to this community and this territory. As against this, the Holy Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم was sent to the entire world and entire humanity and for all times till the Day of Judgement. The Holy Qur'an bears witness to this fact:

وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنٰكَ اِلَّا كَآفَّةً لِّلنَّاسِ بَشِيۡرًا وَّنَذِيۡرًا

And We have not sent you (O Muhammad), but as a bringer of good tidings and as a warner to all mankind..(34:28)

The words of all mankind' imply all men wherever and in whatever age they are living. This clearly shows that his prophethood was not confined only to the Arabian Peninsula, nor to any particular age. His prophethood encompassed all periods and ages till the Day of Judgement
