The meaning of belief in the messengers
0:11
Belief in the messengers
0:15
is the firm conviction that Allah Almighty sent His messengers and prophets
0:20
to convey His religion to humanity and guide them to it,
0:25
and that they are truthful in what they convey from their Lord, the Exalted.
0:30
This necessitates belief in all that Allah Almighty has informed us about them in His Book,
0:36
or through the tongue of His chosen Messenger Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:42
Just as it necessitates affirming the names of those who were mentioned by name,
0:46
as for those whose names were not mentioned or whose stories with their people were not detailed,
0:51
we believe in them in general terms.
0:54
As Allah Almighty says:
0:56
"Indeed, We sent messengers before you."
0:59
“Verily We sent messengers before thee, among them those of whom We have told thee, and some of whom We have not told thee; and it was not given to any messenger that he should bring a portent save by Allah's leave, but when Allah's commandment cometh (the cause) is judged aright, and the followers of vanity will then be lost.” (40:78)
