His ques tions range from the origin of the universe to the life after death.

His ques tions range from the origin of the universe to the life after death. He searches for the best means of securing his present and future life. Furthermore, he puts his knowledge under test and examines its origin and value. He even questions his own perception. Then it can be seen that there is a big scope for debate and difference on any subject! Philosophers who have a deep insight into matters differ about basic concepts! !

All kinds of contradictory i deas are found co-existing in the world of phi- l osophy. There is a universe, says realism. Ideal- ism claims that there is no real universe at all, it is all a matter of imagination to Berkley and David Hume! Marx claims that our perception is a mere reflection of our environment. Im- manuel Kant and Descartes said there is some basic instinctive knowledge. Hence this confu- sion must be ended in some way.

Therefore, sending prophets is inevitable to rescue humanity from being lost in doubts. It is necessary to show them the way of life in conforming to God's laws; these laws are pre- sented by the Godly religions throughout his- tory. ii) The high standard of behaviour and moral conduct which the prophets used to display before experiencing revelation. As an example of a typical prophet the case of Proph- et Muhammad (p.b.u.h.a.h.p) is outstanding.

The following points are in favour of the Prophethood of Muhammad (p.b.u.h.a.h.p.). a. He was known as truthful and trust- worthy before he claimed Prophethood. His moral character was unique and beyond any question or doubt. b. He never doubted his message. 'Where were many attempts to divert him from his course by offering him bribes of money, women, followers, etc., but he was never shaken or moved by these offers.

He lived for twenty- three years after his Prophethood,, conforming to his ideals in every respect. c. He was an illiterate person. The Qur'an is the miracle that God has given him to con- vince people of his message and Prophethood. The fine literature, the magnificent social, eco- nomic, political and spiritual systems presented in the Qur'an are well perfected and defined.

There are more than 750 verses in the Qur'an which state facts most of which could never have been known to people at the Prophet's time. d. He knew the year of his death. He also prophesied many things which were fulfilled. e. He waited for two years after he had received the first few chapters of the Qur'an. During this period he did not receive any revelation.
