Simple Question tell me if there is a difference between Mankind and All Mankind?

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا كَافَّةً لِّلنَّاسِ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ (34:28)​

And O beloved! We sent not you but with Messenger ship encircling entire mankind, as a bearer of glad tidings and a Warner, but most of the people do not know. [Kanzul-Iman 34:28]

NOW [as for thee, O Muhammad,] We have not sent thee otherwise than to mankind at large, to be a herald of glad tidings and a Warner; but most people do not understand [this] [M Asad 34:28]

We have not sent thee but as a universal (Messenger) to men, giving them glad tidings, and warning them (against sin), but most men understand not. [Yusuf Ali 34:28]

And We have not sent thee (O Muhammad) save as a bringer of good tidings and a Warner unto all mankind; but most of mankind know not. [Picktall 34:28]



قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا(7:158)

Say you, 'O mankind'; I am Messenger to you all from Allah [Kanzul-Iman 7:158]

Say: "O men! I am sent unto you all, as the Messenger of Allah [Yusuf Ali 7:158]

Say [O Muhammad]: "O mankind! Verily, I am an apostle of God to all of you, [M Asad 7:158]

Say (O Muhammad): O mankind! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah to you all [Picktall 7:158]

This is where it is important to read Arabic, and I don't. In English, there really is no difference. But there might be in Arabic. Can you tell me?

Assalamu Aleykum Brother.

I will ask you to read tafsir focous on the special 5 things Muhammad was given.

Also, I will ask, did the people before Muhammad then have to believe in Him? Like normal people? Was Their Kalimah was La Ilaha Ill Allah Musa RasulAllah wa Muhammad RasulAllah?

Maybe our conversation can carry on from there.

And yes there is a difference between mankind and all mankind.
 
The Kalimah has always been suffixed with Muhammad ur Rasoolullah, The Prophets all took a covenant to believe in him and help him, in which they did! Muhammad peace be upon him was the first prophet created and the last prophet sent. All the prophets had knowledge of the final prophet and that is demonstrated in the Qur'aan. They spoke to their people only what they could understand, therefore they left the more complicated matters for the last and final Prophet, that is somewhat demonstrated in the Bible where Jesus says that the spirit of truth shall guide you into all things. wasalams

Regardless of what the Kalimah of the other Ummah's was, the fact is that it is established from Quran that the Prophet Muhammad [Peace be upon him] was sent to ALL MANKIND!

And the Ayah you quoted for the Scripture states 'mankind' not 'All Mankind'

And regarding the Hadith with the 5 things, one of the 5 things states 'I have been sent [as a messenger] to the entire creation'
 
Assalamu Aleykum

Regardless of what the Kalimah of the other Ummah's was, the fact is that it is established from Quran that the Prophet Muhammad [Peace be upon him] was sent to ALL MANKIND!


So do you believe that people at the time of Moses had to testify in Muhammad's Prophethood and Messengership?

And the Ayah you quoted for the Scripture states 'mankind' not 'All Mankind'

Akhi, All mankind does not neccesarily mean previous people.

Assalamu Aleykum,

So please reply in simple terms since I do not like to make assumptions.

Are you telling me that Muhammad was sent as a Messenger and Prophet to the people who were dead before he had been born?

Eesa

Brother, thats a valid question and i understand where youre coming from and how you are having difficulty with this. Allow me to explain.

The ruh of everybody here, there and everywhere was created before Adam was sent down to the earth. Muhammad was the first human soul created by Allah. When Allah created the souls he made a covenant with everybody to believe in Him and his Messengers. All i am saying is Muhammad pbuh was the first Prophet created and the last Prophet sent. The only Prophet that is included in the ummah of Muhammad is going to be Jesus / Isa pbuh.

Wa Aleykum Salam,

Wallahi Akhi I am not trying to be arguementative, I honestly do not udnerstand and thank you for your patience and may Allah reward you with Jannah. Ameen

The ruh of everybody here, there and everywhere was created before Adam was sent down to the earth. Muhammad was the first human soul created by Allah. When Allah created the souls he made a covenant with everybody to believe in Him and his Messengers. All i am saying is Muhammad pbuh was the first Prophet created and the last Prophet sent. The only Prophet that is included in the ummah of Muhammad is going to be Jesus / Isa pbuh.

But what is the evidence that the First soul created was that of Muhammad, peace be upon him, thats what am stuck at.

Are you talking about when Allah took us out of Adam's loin and made a covenant with us? peace be upon Adam.
 
Akhi, All mankind does not neccesarily mean previous people.

Well unless there is a reason for us to believe otherwise why shouldnt we accept that?

Has any other Prophet said this?
All mankind could mean all those presently living at the time the phrase is spoken, or at whatever time the referred to action takes place.

For instance, if the Prophet had said that all mankind would die in a nuclear holocaust, would mean that all of humanity that previously existed would have to be brought back to life, just so that they could die in the nuclear holocaust. But that at the time of some future nuclear holocaust, all those living at that time would die in it.

It depends very much on context. What was the context in which the "all mankind" phrase you are referring to was used?

You mention something here that is new to me: The ruh of everybody here, there and everywhere was created before Adam was sent down to the earth.

Is it the teaching of Islam that Allah created all souls before the creation of the world itself?

So then, the souls of all who shall one day live in the future have also already been created. Are they actually alive? Where are they now?

Does Allah determine where they will be born?

What of those children who die still in the womb, does Allah give them a soul also? When does the soul become a part of the person?

Do these pre-existing souls know each other before they are sent down to earth?


When Allah created the souls he made a covenant with everybody to believe in Him and his Messengers.
It seems like you are saying that we all begin life as part of some great spiritual Ummah, and that it is only on earth that we go astray from that.

Our minds obviously don't remember this, do our souls have a separate memory of their own?

If our souls have no memory of the covenant, how would Allah expect those who have never heard of his message to keep the covenant?

If our souls do have a memory of the covenant, then those who have never heard with their ears should still be responsible for breaking the covenant made prior to their birth, but I understand that Islam does not hold those who have not heard the message of Islam as accountable as those who have. So, does this imply that Islam does not believe there to be a separate memory of the soul? And if there is no separate memory of the soul, then what is the purpsoe of Allah making a covenant with everybody that they are not going to be able to even remember making?





Should I create a new thread to ask all of these questions in?
 
Salams

you could make a new thread, however it is relevant, i will try to answer as much as i know. Souls are created before they get put into the body. As the terminology of scriptures put it God breathes the soul into the human. An angel brings the soul to a devleping baby in the womb, so babys that die, premature of in the womb still get a funeral according to Islam for they still was a living soul. And even scholars argue that abortion is forbidden using the evidences i have only refered to, it would be a interesting study for you to look up, abortion and Islams posistion on that as it will give you most of the clues and evidences to which i speak, if there is anything i have missed please forgive as my time is limited , please re-ask or remind ..peace
 
So then, the souls of all who shall one day live in the future have also already been created. Are they actually alive? Where are they now?

The soul is lives forever once created.

the life of the soul is different to that of the body

the soul has an interlect seperate from the brain

the souls are with Allah without explaining how

Allah knows where they will be born

And do the souls know each other ? Allah knows best. and certainly He does .
 
Assalamu Aleykum Wa Rhametulah Sunni Student :)

No I dont!

That was in reply to

"So do you believe that people at the time of Moses had to testify in Muhammad's Prophethood and Messengership?"


So what do you believe, you previously wrote:

Is the Prophet Muhammad [Peace be upon him] a Prophet only for those people who lived during his life and those people to come untill the day of Judgement or is The Prophet Muhammad [Peace be upon him] a Prophet sent to all Mankind, there is A hadith in Sahih Muslim "Ursil thu ilal khalqi Kaafa" and the many Quran Ayahs that say the Prophet was sent for all Mankind.

So if he was sent to All Mankind, meaning All Humans and All Jinns then that also means he is the Prophet of All Mankind including the other prophets.

So clarify for me, what is your position, was Muhammad, peace be upon him sent to Mankind, before and after his coming, as your words, "So if he was sent to All Mankind, meaning All Humans and All Jinns then that also means he is the Prophet of All Mankind including the other prophets." indicate, or do I follow your position that people did not have to believe and place him in their testimony of faith?

Also you asked if he's a prophet, peace be upon him, for just the people of his lifetime and us or All mankind. It does not need to be an OR question, he is both, in the context given.

Well unless there is a reason for us to believe otherwise why shouldnt we accept that?

All Mankind could mean different things, so, we go to the Tafsir books to find out what it means, this is why I refered you to the Tafsir.

Just us alone in this thread can understand 'All Mankind' to mean different things:

*Mankind from before and now
*Mankind to come till the end of time, i.e. the remaining​

For as you have said, it could be All mankind from before Adam.

Or as Grace Seeker has said it could mean all mankind now as he said:


All mankind could mean all those presently living at the time the phrase is spoken, or at whatever time the referred to action takes place.

For instance, if the Prophet had said that all mankind would die in a nuclear holocaust, would mean that all of humanity that previously existed would have to be brought back to life, just so that they could die in the nuclear holocaust. But that at the time of some future nuclear holocaust, all those living at that time would die in it.

So for this reason I asked you to go to the Tafsir.

If you had done so, and openly accepted the Tafsir, you'd see:

Muhammad bin Ka`b said concerning the Ayah:


﴿وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَـكَ إِلاَّ كَآفَّةً لِّلنَّاسِ﴾


(And We have not sent you except to all mankind) meaning, to all the people. Qatadah said concerning this Ayah, "Allah, may He be exalted, sent Muhammad to both the Arabs and the non-Arabs, so the most honored of them with Allah is the one who is most obedient to Allah.'' In the Two Sahihs it was reported that Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him said, "The Messenger of Allah said:


«أُعْطِيتُ خَمْسًا لَمْ يُعْطَهُنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ قَبْلِي: نُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ مَسِيرَةَ شَهْرٍ، وَجُعِلَتْ لِيَ الْأَرْضُ مَسْجِدًا وَطَهُورًا، فَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَدْرَكَتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيُصَلِّ، وَأُحِلَّتْ لِيَ الْغَنَائِمُ وَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي، وَأُعْطِيتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ يُبْعَثُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ خَاصَّةً وَبُعِثْتُ إِلَى النَّاسِ عَامَّة»


(I have been given five things which were not given to any of the Prophets before me. I have been aided by fear (the distance of ) a month's journey. The entire earth has been made a Masjid and a means of purification for me, so that when the time for prayer comes, any man of my Ummah should pray. The spoils of war have been made permissible for me, whereas they were not permitted for any before me. I have been given the power of intercession; and the Prophets before me were sent to their own people, but I have been sent to all of mankind.)'' It was also recorded in the Sahih that the Messenger of Allah said:


«بُعِثْتُ إِلَى الْأَسْوَدِ وَالْأَحْمَر»


(I have been sent to the black and the red.) Mujahid said, "This means to the Jinn and to mankind.'' Others said that it meant the Arabs and the non-Arabs. Both meanings are correct.

Extract, Tafsir of Surah 34, heading The Prophet was sent to all of Mankind Allah says to His servant and Messenger Muhammad, I encourage everyone to read it.

Allah says to His Prophet and Messenger Muhammad ,


﴿قُلْ﴾


(Say), O Muhammad,


﴿يَـأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ﴾


(O mankind!), this is directed to mankind red and black, and the Arabs and non-Arabs alike,


﴿إِنِّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا﴾


(I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah,) This Ayah mentions the Prophet's honor and greatness, for he is the Final Prophet who was sent to all mankind ﴿and the Jinns﴾. Allah said,


﴿قُلِ اللَّهِ شَهِيدٌ بِيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَأُوحِىَ إِلَىَّ هَـذَا الْقُرْءَانُ لاٌّنذِرَكُمْ بِهِ وَمَن بَلَغَ﴾


(Say, "Allah is Witness between you and I; this Qur'an has been revealed to me that I may therewith warn you and whomsoever it may reach.'') ﴿6:19﴾,


﴿وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِهِ مِنَ الاٌّحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهُ﴾


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


﴿وَقُلْ لِّلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَـبَ وَالاٍّمِّيِّينَ ءَأَسْلَمْتُمْ فَإِنْ أَسْلَمُواْ فَقَدِ اهْتَدَواْ وَّإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ الْبَلَـغُ﴾


(And say to those who were given the Scripture and to the illiterates (Arab pagans): "Do you (also) submit yourselves (to Allah in Islam)'' If they do, they are rightly guided; but if they turn away, your duty is only to convey the Message.) ﴿3:20﴾ There are many other Ayat and more Hadiths than can be counted on this subject. It is also well-known in our religion that the Messenger of Allah was sent to all mankind ﴿and the Jinns﴾. Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda' said, "Abu Bakr and `Umar had an argument in which Abu Bakr made `Umar angry. So `Umar went away while angry and Abu Bakr followed him asking him to forgive him, but `Umar refused. `Umar shut his door closed in Abu Bakr's face and Abu Bakr went to the Messenger of Allah while we were with him. The Messenger of Allah said,


«أَمَّا صَاحِبُكُمْ هَذَا فَقَدْ غَامَر»


(This fellow of yours (Abu Bakr) has made someone angry! `Umar became sorry for what he did, went to the Prophet and greeted him with the Salam and sat next to him, telling him what had happened. The Messenger of Allah became angry (at `Umar), and realizing that, Abu Bakr said, `O Allah's Messenger! It was me who was unjust.' The Messenger of Allah said,


«هَلْ أَنْتُمْ تَارِكُو لِي صَاحِبِي؟ إِنِّي قُلْتُ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا فَقُلْتُمْ: كَذَبْتَ وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: صَدَقْت»


(Will you leave my Companion (Abu Bakr) alone! I said, `O People! I am the Messenger of Allah to you all,' and you said, `You lie,' but Abu Bakr declared, `You said the truth.')'' Al-Bukhari recorded it. Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn `Abbas said that the Messenger of Allah said,


«أُعْطِيتُ خَمْسًا لَمْ يُعْطَهُنَّ نَبِيٌّ قَبْلِي وَلَا أَقُولُهُ فَخْرًا بُعِثْتُ إِلَى النَّاسِ كَافَّةً الْأَحْمَرِ وَالْأَسْوَدِ وَنُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ مَسِيرَةَ شَهْرٍ وَأُحِلَّتْ لِي الْغَنَائِمُ وَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَجُعِلَتْ لِيَ الْأَرْضُ مَسْجِدًا وَطَهُورًا وَأُعْطِيتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ فَأَخَّرْتُهَا لِأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَهِيَ لِمَنْ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا»


(I have been given five things which were not given to any Prophet before me, and I do not say it out of pride. I was sent to all mankind (their) black and white alike. Allah made me victorious by fright, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's journey. The spoils of war are lawful for me, yet it was not lawful for anyone else before me. The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for praying and a thing to perform purification with. I have been given the Shafa'ah (right of intercession), and I saved it for my Ummah on the Day of Resurrection. Therefore, the Shafa'ah will reach those who associate none with Allah in worship.) This Hadith's chain of narration is suitable, but the Two Sahihs did not record it.​

Extract of Tafsir Surah 7, heading Muhammad's Message is Universal, I encourage everyone to read it.

So it is clear, we can see, All mankind means, not only to his own people, as the previous prophets and messengers, peace be upon him, rather he was special, he was sent to the Arabs and Non Arabs, to All Mankind, in that sense. So we see what 'All Mankind' means. No need for us to go into assuming it means this and also that and maybe the other.



Has any other Prophet said this?

You nearly answered this yourself:




And regarding the Hadith with the 5 things, one of the 5 things states 'I have been sent [as a messenger] to the entire creation'

Although I have yet to see that hadeeth, what the Tafsir says is:

(I have been given five things which were not given to any Prophet before me, and I do not say it out of pride. I was sent to all mankind (their) black and white alike.

(I have been given five things which were not given to any of the Prophets before me. I have been aided by fear (the distance of ) a month's journey. The entire earth has been made a Masjid and a means of purification for me, so that when the time for prayer comes, any man of my Ummah should pray. The spoils of war have been made permissible for me, whereas they were not permitted for any before me. I have been given the power of intercession; and the Prophets before me were sent to their own people, but I have been sent to all of mankind.)''

Maybe brother this is why no other Prophet, nor Messenger, peace be upon them said this, because everyone else was sent to their own people, but the Prophet Muhammad, as he states, was given something not given to others, and one of that gift is that he is not just sent to his own people, the Arabs, but All Mankind, the white and black and brown and red.

Thats what 'All Mankind' is stated as being, nothing there about people before him, peace be upon him.


All mankind could mean all those presently living at the time the phrase is spoken, or at whatever time the referred to action takes place.

For instance, if the Prophet had said that all mankind would die in a nuclear holocaust, would mean that all of humanity that previously existed would have to be brought back to life, just so that they could die in the nuclear holocaust. But that at the time of some future nuclear holocaust, all those living at that time would die in it.

It depends very much on context. What was the context in which the "all mankind" phrase you are referring to was used?

The context is given, as you have stated there could be different views so it is essential we refer it back to the earlier people of knowledge, and the context is as given above that the other Messengers and Prophets, peace be upon them were sent to their own people, but Muhammad, as part of his special gift thing was sent to All Mankind as opposed to just his own people, the Arab.

It's pretty clear. ;)
 
o.k i have missed some of you questions Isa , insha'allah i will catch up with them tomorrow
 
o.k i have missed some of you questions Isa , insha'allah i will catch up with them tomorrow

No worries, I dont know what questions you've missed but take your time and take care brother, keep safe and keep Muslim inshaAllah.

Eesa :)
 
So what do you believe, you previously wrote:

I believe the Prophet Muhammad [Peace be upon him] is the Prophet of All Mankind, All Jinns and All Humans, Including All The Prophets, But only when He physicaly came to the world and proclaimed his messengership did people have to testify in him.

It is established also from the following authentic Hadith:

"I was a prophet while Adam was between the spirit and body" narrated by at-Haakim and others [See 'Silisilah as-Saheehah' of al-Albaanee (no. 1756) for detailed documentation.]

That the Prophet was a Prophet before any other Prophet was even created, and before they proclaimed there messengership.


Although I have yet to see that hadeeth

Hadith 523 of Sahih Muslim

Abu Hurayrah [May Allah be pleased with him] narrates that The Prophet Muhammad [Peace be upon him] said ‘I have been given superiority over other prophets in these six things’:

- I have been given Jawamiy al-Kalim [ability to speak eloquently and succinctly]

- I have been aided by awe, [Ru'ub]

- Spoils of war [ghanayim] are made lawful to me

- the entire earth has been made clean for me and a place of prayer

- I have been sent [as a messenger] to the entire creation

- Prophethood has been sealed with me [I am the last prophet]


---------------------
So what is there to deny, he was a Prophet before All Prophets, He was sent to the entire creation, having that in mind why should we objecty that he is sent to All Mankind? Past, Present and Future?

Say you, 'O mankind'; I am Messenger to you all from Allah [Kanzul-Iman 7:158]

Say: "O men! I am sent unto you all, as the Messenger of Allah [Yusuf Ali 7:158]

Say [O Muhammad]: "O mankind! Verily, I am an apostle of God to all of you, [M Asad 7:158]

Say (O Muhammad): O mankind! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah to you all [Picktall 7:158]

Tafsir Ibn Kathir states:

Allah says to His Prophet and Messenger Muhammad, (Say), O Muhammad, (O mankind!), this is directed to mankind red and black, and the Arabs and non-Arabs alike, (I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah,) This Ayah mentions the Prophet's honor and greatness, for he is the Final Prophet who was sent to all mankind ﴿and the Jinn’s

Further on when explaining this Ayah Ibn Kathir says the following,

There are many other Ayat and more Hadiths than can be counted on this subject. It is also well-known in our religion that the Messenger of Allah was sent to all mankind ﴿and the Jinn’s


وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا كَافَّةً لِّلنَّاسِ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ (34:28)​


And O beloved! We sent not you but with Messenger ship encircling entire mankind, as a bearer of glad tidings and a Warner, but most of the people do not know. [Kanzul-Iman 34:28]

NOW [as for thee, O Muhammad,] We have not sent thee otherwise than to mankind at large, to be a herald of glad tidings and a Warner; but most people do not understand [this] [M Asad 34:28]

We have not sent thee but as a universal (Messenger) to men, giving them glad tidings, and warning them (against sin), but most men understand not. [Yusuf Ali 34:28]

And We have not sent thee (O Muhammad) save as a bringer of good tidings and a Warner unto all mankind; but most of mankind know not. [Picktall 34:28]

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

(And We have not sent you except as a giver of glad tidings and a Warner to all mankind,) i.e., to all of creation among those who are accountable for their deeds. This is like the Ayah: (Say: "O mankind! Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah.'') (7:158) (Blessed be He Who sent down the Criterion to His servant that he may be a Warner to the all creatures.) (25:1)


You have your opinion and we have ours, and seeing that there is nothing against this Position and it is supported by Quran and Sunnah, at least accept it is a valid opinion of difference!
