Question for Sattar Sahib - Why call your leader a 'messenger?'

Posted: May 16, 2008 Fri 02:45 pm     Views: 109    Interacts: 0

Sattar Sahib,
I have one question that has really perplexed me about your great leader. If he was all that great, why was it important for him to be considered a "Prophet" or a "Messenger?" I mean there are many more important sounding titles in Islamic history - Aalim, Mufti, Ayatollah, Maulana, Ameer, etc..

Why was it necessary to choose the designation of Our Holy Prophet (PBUH)? Before the Hindus get all excited about Mohammed (PBUH) being a Prophet and a Messenger, let me say that "Messenger" means peon, carrier, postman, errand boy, and nothing very important. What made the term "Messenger" was not its meaning, but the love of Muslims for this wonderful man (PBUH).
