| Answer: The Messengers of Allah are protected and guarded
by Allah from faltering in delivering the divine message. In their capacities as
divine appointees, they present to their addressees the very message of Allah
without any adulteration and alteration. It is the Almighty Himself who takes
care of this:
As for those whom He chooses as His messenger [they can
say nothing of their own] because He guards them from behind and from the front
that He may know if they have delivered the messages of their Lord; and He
surrounds whatever is around them and keeps count of all things. (72:16-28)
The Almighty also protects His Rusul from being harmed by
their people when they are delivering the truth to them:
Before them the People of Noah denied and the
confederates after them; and every people tried to seize their Rasūl and
disputed by means of vanities, therewith to condemn the Truth: but it was I Who
seized them! And how terrible was My requital! (40:5) |
