These defiant people promote yet another means by which they
try to separate and distance others from the Qur'an. That is the
claim that the Qur'an was revealed to the Arabs alone, and that
they are the only people who have to follow it. Anyone who has
read the Qur'an even once will realize how groundless and
ridiculous this suggestion is.
Many Qur'anic verses emphasize the fact that the Prophet
Muhammad was a messenger sent for all mankind and that everyone
is responsible of obeying the commandments of the Qur'an until the
Day of Judgment. We will quote from a few such verses here, and
they should be more than enough to make our point:
We only sent you for the whole of mankind, bringing
good news and giving warning. But most of mankind
do not know it. (Surah Saba': 28)
Say: 'Mankind! I am the Messenger of God to you all,
of Him to whom the kingdom of the heavens and earth
belongs.' (Surat al-A'raf : 158)
Those who protest, trying to confuse uninformed people and
cause disturbances, will base their claim on the Qur'anic verse
stated below:
We have not sent any Messenger except with the

anyone He wills. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.
(Surah Ibrahim: 4)
The verse is crystal clear. The messenger will speak the same
