Abstract
Allah commanded the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم (to inform the
people in the following way:
O' my people, do you see whether I am on the (right) reason
from my Lord Who provided me with the best subsistence, and
I only intend to reform as far as possible, and whatever my
capacities are, they are from Allah upon whom I have trust
and revert to Him (for guidance and help.)
In this verse, the Qur'an has given the words that Hazrat Shoaib (A.S) used
for the reformation of his nation. This also makes obvious the fact that the
primary objective of the advent of Messengers has been the reformation of
society. This great reformatory work was performed from Hazrat Adam
(A.S.) up till Hazrat Isa according to the prevalent situation of their times.
But after these holy personalities, their followers tampered with their
teachings. Subsequently a personality was sent (by Allah) who in the light of
the divine teachings pledged to reform not only his own people but the whole
world. This holy man was Hazrat Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم (who came to this world
fourteen hundred and sixty years ago as Mercy for All the Worlds By virtue
of his magnanimity, he turned the darkness of the world into light. He
reformed the society, uprooting all the evils of the human society, in such a
manner that this society, corrupt for centuries, instantly turned into one that
became exemplary for future generations. In other words, he, Muhammad
(p.b.u.h) reformed the worst society of the world successfully, effectively
and in a very short period of time.
