               you with Wisdom and to clarify for you some of the things
               about which you have differed. Therefore, have respect and
               fear of Allah, and obey me. Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so
               worship Him. This is a straight path." (Surat az-Zukhruf, 63-64)
               Aaron had earlier said to them: "My people, it is just a trial for
               you. Your Lord is the All-Merciful, so follow me and obey my
               command." (Surah Ta Ha, 90)

               One of the verses of the Qur'an in which believers are
             commanded to obey the Prophet Muhammad (saas) reads:
               Say: "Obey Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad). Then if
               they turn away, he is only responsible for what he is charged
               with, and you are responsible for what you are charged with. If
               you obey him, you will be guided. The Messenger is only
               responsible for the [message's] clear transmission." (Surat an-
               Nur, 54)
               As we can see, all of Allah's Messengers invite their people to
             have faith in Allah and serve Him. They warn them about the

             hereafter, inform them that this world is transient, and that they
             will be rewarded in the hereafter for what they did here. In
             addition, they ask for the people's obedience. For this is Allah's
             commandment revealed in the Qur'an: "If you obey him, you will
             be guided" (Surat an-Nur, 54). They make this request because
             only His Messengers can lead their people to the truth by calling
             upon them to live according to Allah's religion.
               But the Messenger's leading opponents do not accept this,
             because the majority of the elite have made everyone dependent
             on them and their material wealth. However, the Messengers

             proclaim that there is no other Deity and "Lord" (teacher, guide,
             and judge) besides Allah, and that He has commanded everyone
