Characteristics of plenitude and completion in Muhammad’s (SAAW) Prophethood

The most distinctive characteristic of the mission of the Holy Prophet (SAAW) has been brought out by the Qur'an at three places thus:

He it is Who has sent forth His messenger with the Guidance (Al-Huda) and the True way of life (Deen al-Haq), to the end that he make it prevail over all aspects of living...
(Al-Tawba 9:33; Al-Fath 48:28; & Al-Saff 61:9)

The important point of which notice should be taken here is that with respect to Prophet Muhammad (SAAW), these words have been repeated at three places in the Qur'an without the slightest change or difference of construction, whereas these have not been revealed even once for any other prophet or messenger.

The famous scholar and mystic of the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent — Shah Waliyullah Dehlvi (1703-1762) — has made this Qur'anic verse the subject of in-depth and extensive study in his book Izalatul Khafa un Khilafatul Khulafa. He has described it as the most important verse in understanding the purpose and mission of Muhammad's Prophethood (SAAW). Similarly, Maulana Ubaidullah Sindhi (1872-1944) has taken this verse as the key for understanding the global revolutionary manifesto of Islam.

A careful study of the verse reveals that Prophet Muhammad (SAAW) has been sent by Almighty God along with two items:

1. Al-Huda or The Guidance, and
2. Deen al-Haq or the True Way of Life .

Therefore, the Deen Allah is that system of belief and action which is based on the basic premise of total, absolute and unconditional submission to the commands of Almighty Allah (SWT). And this, in fact, is the Al-Meezan – the Balance – which is the final and ultimate form of Divine guidance for mankind. After progressing gradually through the vicissitudes of history, Divine guidance finally culminated in the most comprehensive and balanced system of life as revealed to Prophet Muhammad (SAAW). The Islamic way of life represents the ideal system of social justice and equity wherein the duties and rights of all are clearly laid down, "in order that the humanity may stick to, and behave with, Justice." (Al-Hadeed :25)
