The chain of Prophets and the Last Link.

Cont from previous post.....

None of them( The Prophets of Allah) left this world without indicating and
pointing out the one who was to take up his place after his demise and carry
the
Divine Mission; Thus everyone of them was predicted by the Prophet who
passed away before him and in turn was testified by him. (Therefore it was not
difficult for for human beings to recgnize the true Prophet and distinguish him
from the pretender)

This ages succeeded ages, till Allah desired to bring the teachings of His
(Allah) religion to the final stage of perfection. As He had promised in the
beginning, He appointed the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) as His Last
Prophet.

Tauheed ~ Oneness of God

The first step of religion is to accept, unerstand and realize Him(Allah) as the
Lord,thorough understanding lies in conviction and confirmation, and the right
conviction is to sincerely believe that there is no god but He. The true belied
in His Oneness is to realize that He is so absolutely Pure and above nature,
that nothing can be added to or substracted from Him; because one should realize
that there is no difference between His Person and His Attributes
