Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner, Abu Muhammad, says: What is the evidence for the universality of the eternal Muhammadan message to our Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
The evidence is the statement of Allah the Exalted:
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]
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. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death."قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ
[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
Sahih al-Bukhari 438
This is among his (peace and blessings be upon him) specific attributes. Yes.
