Prophethood and Messengership progressed gradually, reaching their peak and culminating in completion. This fulfillment of the mission and perfection of prophecy forms the foundation of Muhammad’s excellence. The greatest manifestation of the completion of Messengership is that no other messenger achieved the dominance of God’s religion through their call, propagation, organization, struggle, and striving—except Muhammad, the Messenger of God. Every prophet was a caller, a proclaimer, a teacher, and a guide. However, Muhammad, the Messenger of God, was not merely a caller, a proclaimer, a witness, a bearer of glad tidings, an exemplar, or a caller to God, but the one who actually established God’s religion.
