THE NEED FOR MESSENGERS
……………………………
Through historical evidence, we know that all of humankind began as one nation, living in one area. But as our numbers increased, we began spreading into different areas.
God, the Exalted, says:
“And mankind was not but one community [united in religion], but
[then] they differed. And if not for a word that preceded from your Rubb, it would have been judged between them [immediately] concerning that over which they differ.” (Qur’an 10:19)
The result of moving to different regions of the world led to the formation of traditions and languages that differentiate us from one another today.
As creation spread out, God sent to each group of people a prophet to remind them of the message of
the belief in the Oneness of God.
Indeed, God is Just. He would never punish a people, except after sending a prophet to clarify the message to them.
The Prophets and Messengers warned their people from going astray. No nation of the past was ever left without a warner.
God, the Exalted, says:
“Indeed, We have sent you with the truth as a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And there was no nation but that there had passed within it a warner.” (Qur’an 35:24)
Allah would send Prophets and Messengers to bring people back to the message of Tawheed (the belief in the Oneness of God)…
God, the Exalted, says:
“And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], “Worship Allah and avoid Taghut
. And among them were those whom Allah guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers.” (Qur’an 16:36).
Allah sent these Prophets and Messengers so that no nation would have any excuse against what God ordains for them in the Hereafter.
God, the Exalted, says:
“[We sent] messengers as bringers of good tidings and warners so that mankind will have no argument against Allah after the messengers. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise.” (Qur’an 4:165)

The Arabic word taghut refers to idolatry, associating partners with God. This can be anything worshipped other than the one true God.
