ABSTRACT
The proof of the message of a prophet and the truth of what he delivers from his Lord is evident before the eye-witness who sees him as he is and beholds the clear signs that God grants. As for the rest of the messengers on whom it is incumbent we believe, the evidences confirming the message of Muhammad our Prophet will suffice for them also. He has informed us of their mission and his deliverances are trustworthy. The prophets guide the mind to the knowledge of God and what must be known of His attributes, as well as the limits we are obliged to observe in the pursuit of such knowledge—though this must be in such wise as not to shake man’s confidence or deprive him of his assurance about reason as a God-given power. The messengers are the signs God has given to guide men in the way of salvation.
