law of Allah revealed in the verses of the Qur'an. No mes-
senger or prophet has ever come in the form of a collective
personality.
Much detailed information is provided in the Qur'an
about the lives, struggles and messages of messengers sent
to various communities. Until the very end of their lives
they have called the people to whom they were sent to the
true faith, warned them of Allah's punishment and be-
stowed the glad tidings of Paradise on believers. They re-
sponded to the pressure, traps and struggle against the true
faith on the part of the deniers in their communities with
fortitude and trust in Allah and called on them to live in a
way that would be pleasing to Him. All this shows that no
messenger has ever been sent as a spiritual personality, but
rather as individuals.

years also applies, as it does to the rest of Islamic history, to
the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).
