Those Who Did Not Receive the Message in The Framework of Islamic Creed
Allah created human beings, endowed them with intellect, honored them with knowledge, and appointed them as dignified stewards on His earth. He ingrained within their nature a inclination toward elevation and purity, preparing them to accept the call to truth conveyed by messengers and prophets throughout history—culminating in the message of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)—to guide humanity from the darkness of ignorance to the light of faith and the certainty of truth. However, some have deviated from the true creed due to ignorance or distance from sources of guidance, becoming hostile to it without understanding. Thus, God Almighty periodically sends prophets to restore the pure innate nature within souls. Yet, His divine wisdom ordained that the journey of this call include long intervals without new messengers. As a result, people die without hearing the truth, and children grow up in societies straying from the creed. How, then, will such individuals be judged on the Day of Resurrection? How will the light of faith reach those in remote regions like desert depths or isolated islands? This underscores the critical role of spreading the message (da‘wah) and the obligation to propagate the creed. Sadly, many Muslims have neglected this duty, depriving countless people of the chance for guidance. Consequently, the right of many to know the truth has been lost. The decline in propagation efforts has also diminished the global influence of Islam’s message, allowing doubts and deviations to proliferate.
