ABSTRACT

By Muhammad's message, or what he brought, we mean the affirmations of the Qur’an and whatever is consistently and authentically reported in the tradition, under the proper conditions, namely what is related by a community of persons whom it is impossible should be in collusion to deceive, of things generally within sense experience. Faith is the certainty in believing in God, His apostles and the Last Day, with no other stipulation saving a reverence for the words and message of the apostles. It is not true to say that there is confusion with the prophetic miracles, for the reason that the latter only occur in association with the prophetic message and the preaching from God, which must necessarily be accompanied by distinctive events to mark it off from other things.
