Kama vile ilivyothibitishwa kwa akili kwamba kuna Muumba, vivyo hivyo ni lazima ithibitishwe kwamba wale wanaodai kuwa manabii na wabebaji wa uongofu kutoka kwa Muumba, ndivyo walivyo kweli. Hata katika suala hili, hapapaswi kuwepo nafasi ya imani ya upofu au imani ya kihisia.

Just as it is rationally proved that there is a creator, so it must be verified that those who claim to be prophets and bringers of guidance from the creator, are indeed so. Even in this issue, there should be no room for blind faith or emotional belief.

Kila nabii aliyetumwa na Allah (swt) alikuja na changamoto kwa wanadamu kama uthibitisho wa unabii wake. Kwa mfano, Musa (as) alikuja na fimbo ambayo iligeuka kuwa nyoka ilipotupwa chini, na Yesu (as) alipewa uwezo, kwa idhini ya Allah (swt), wa kuwafufua wafu. Vitendo kama hivi vinapinga sheria za ulimwengu, na viko nje ya uwezo wa binadamu yeyote, au chochote kile, isipokuwa yule aliyeuumba ulimwengu na kuweka sheria hizi zinazouongoza. Hivyo, ilithibitika kwa watu wao kwamba kweli walitumwa kutoka kwa Allah (swt).

Every prophet sent by Allah (swt) came with a challenge to mankind as a verification of his prophethood. For example, Moses (as) came with a staff that turned into a snake when it was thrown to the floor, and Jesus (as) was given the ability, by the permission of Allah (swt), to bring back the dead to life. These types of actions defy the laws of the universe, and are beyond the capability of any human being, or indeed anything, except for the one who created the universe and placed these very laws which govern it. Thus, it was proved about them to their people that indeed they were sent from Allah (swt).
