Question:
Another message reached us from a resident in Riyadh. He says: Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan, what is the evidence for the universality of the Muhammadan message to our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The evidence is from the Book and the Sunnah.
O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you allيَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا
[Al-A'raf 7:158]
,
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 from the Sunnah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only but I have been sent to all mankind.يبعث إلى قومه خاصة وبعثت إلى الناس عامة
Sahih al-Bukhari 335

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
