

ﲙ ﲚ ﲛ ﲜ ﲝ ﲞ ﲟ

And if We had willed, We could have sent into every city a warner.

The universality of the Prophet's Message, how He was supported in His Mission and Allah's Blessings to Mankind Allah says:

ولو شينا لبعثنا في كل قرية نذيرا

And had We willed, We would have raised a warner in every town. `Calling them to Allah, but We have singled you out, O Muhammad, to be sent to all the people of earth, and We have commanded you to convey the Qur'an,'

ﻻنذركم به ومن بلغ

that I may therewith warn you and whomsoever it may reach. (6:19)

ومن يكفر به من اﻻحزاب فالنار موعده

but those of the sects that reject it, the Fire will be their promised meeting place. (11:17)

لتنذر أم القرى ومن حولها

that you may warn the Mother of the Towns and all around it. (42:7)

قل يٲيها الناس إنى رسول الله إليكم جميعا

Say: "O mankind! Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah...'' (7:158) In the Two Sahihs it is reported that the Prophet said:

بعثت إلى اﻻحمر واﻻسود

I have been sent to the red and the black. And:

وكان النبي يبعث إلى قومه خاصة وبعثت إلى الناس عامة

A Prophet would be sent to his own people, but I have been sent to all of mankind. Allah says:
