They will never embrace Eman unless they make you judge of all on which they disagree among themselves, but then finding it painful what you would decide for them rather accepting it the way it should be accepted. [72] And Mohammed is one of the Prophets, similar to the (other) apostles who have passed away before him, if he dies or is slain, will you turn about on your heels?

[73] Also, Allah -azwj Says: They will, for sure, follow the foot-steps of previous nations, meaning adapting the path of the previous nations [74] . As in the past, they turned their back to the successors -as of their Prophets -as . This aspect of their unfaithfulness has been mentioned in the Book at several places.

However, it was very painful for the Prophet -saww to know that his -saww message will be distorted after him -saww , and for this reason, Allah -azwj has specifically informed His Prophet -saww on the destruction of his nation and told him not to take it to his heart, as it may critically affect his health, resulting in death, which is revealed as: ‘Don’t be sorry for the Kafirs’ [75] And Allah -azwj Says: ‘You can ask from our Prophets which have been sent to you before’ [76] Thus, these are those proofs which were specifically given to our Prophet -saww and this ‘Hujjat -asws ’ [77] was made compulsory on all creation.

This is for the time, when Allah -azwj put a stop to sending down His Prophets -as , and declared (Rasool Allah -saww ) His -azwj Prophet on all previous religions and Prophets -as .

And He -azwj blessed His -azwj Prophet -saww by raising him to the Heavens ‘Miraj’ and on that instance, assembled all His Prophets -as and told them -as that their primary objective of their being given the Prophet-hood has been the acceptance and submission to Prophet (Mohammed -saww ) and His Proof -asws , ‘Baraheen’ (Mola Ali -asws ).

(After knowing the details), they all accepted and submitted to the elevated status of (Rasool Allah -saww ), His successors -asws , who were sent down to earth after them -as along with the Divine Commands. They were also asked to acknowledge the higher status of the ‘Shias’ of Prophet’s successor -asws , among the men and women who remained devout followers.

Allah -azwj gave lofty status to those who deserved it and they also demonstrated their elevated position by remaining obedient to Him -azwj .
