The Prophet of Islam and His Universal Message

Theologically speaking, the universality of Muhammad’s (peace and blessings be upon him) message comes from the concept of one God who is the God of all, not only of Muslims. God describes Himself in the first chapter of the Qur’an, which is recited by all Muslims during their five daily prayers, that He is the God of all creation, “Rabb al-Alamin.” Being aware of this fact or not, God is the God of all humans, regardless of their differences. All parts of creation are created by God. The Qur’an suggests that a gigantic star and an atom are shoulder to shoulder worshipping the same God; a fly and an elephant are brothers and sisters; all of creation is here to help us understand the meaning and the mystery of the universe.
