Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, Ahmad from Jeddah asks: What is the evidence for the universality of the eternal Muhammadan message? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
My brother, do you not read the Qur'an? Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:
And We have not sent you except comprehensively to mankind as a bringer of good tidings and a warnerوَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا كَافَّةً لِّلنَّاسِ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا
[Saba 34:28]
and He said:
Say, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth.قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
[Al-A'raf 7:158]
and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation exclusively but I have been sent to all mankind.كان النبي يبعث إلى قومه خاصة وبعثت إلى الناس كافة. وكان
Sahih al-Bukhari 438
He wrote to the kings and rulers, inviting them to Islam. He wrote to the King of Persia and the King of Rome, inviting them to Islam.
This indicates the universality of his message (peace and blessings be upon him). Also, what has happened is that Islam spread to the East and the West, and the Arabs and non-Arabs entered it, and the majority of the nations entered it. This is evidence for the universality of the Muhammadan message. Yes.
