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.
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!
Why you making this long. Why don't you Just say that Allah(s.w.t) has decided on Prophet Muhammad to be the last of the prophets.
You are trying to make it as prophet muhhamad was sent for Adam, Ibrahim, e.t.c and All the people in the past.
How could he be sent to them when they are gone.
If Pophet Muhhamad did come upon the people of the past in their time it was incumbent on them to accept him.
Like it was Incumbent on them to other prophets on their time.
