4. Payg'ambarning xabari
4. The Prophet’s Message
Payg'ambar Muhammad ﷺ olib kelgan xabarning axloqiy va aqliy buyukligi — ya'ni Qur'on va Sunnat (uning payg'ambarlik namunasi) — uning haqligiga guvohlik beradi. Aflotun o'zining transsendental qadriyatlar uchligida ta'kidlaganidek, haqiqat, go'zallik va yaxshilik bir-biridan ajralmasdir. Shu ma'noda, Islom turmush tarzining ichki poklik va go'zalligini e'tirof etish bizni nafaqat uning xabariga jalb qiladi, balki uning so'nggi payg'ambari ﷺ Ilohiy Zot tomonidan yuborilgan elchi ekanligining qonuniyligini ham tasdiqlaydi. Xabar, shuningdek, asosiy aqidaviy masalalarda boshqa payg'ambarlarning xabari bilan uyg'unligi orqali Muhammad ﷺ ning payg'ambarligiga guvohlik berishi mumkin. Eski Ahd ta'kidlaydiki, payg'ambarning ta'limoti uning haqiqiy kimligini ochib beradi,165 va yana ogohlantiradiki, agar kimdir kelajakni oldindan aytib bera olsa-da, boshqa xudolarga sig'inishga chaqirsa, u baribir yolg'on payg'ambardir.
The moral and intellectual greatness of the message brought by the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم —namely the Qur’an and Sunnah (his prophetic example)—testifies to its truth. As Plato famously argued in his triad of transcendental values, truth, beauty, and goodness are inseparable. In that sense, appreciating the inherent purity and beauty of the Islamic lifestyle not only attracts us to its message, but also confirms the legitimacy of its final prophet as a messenger from the Divine. The message can also vouch for the prophethood of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم by way of its alignment with the message of other prophets on fundamental creedal points. The Old Testament argues that the teachings of a prophet are what reveal his true identity,165 and also warns that even if someone is able to predict the future, they are a still a false prophet if they call to worshipping other gods.
Kishi Muhammad ﷺning qisqa payg‘ambarlik faoliyati, ya’ni miloddan avvalgi 610–632 yillar davridagi ishi haqida qanchalik ko‘p ma’lumot saqlanib qolganiga ham hayratlanish mumkin. Qur’on va Sunnatni Injil bilan solishtirib bo‘lmaydi, chunki Injil faqat Muso alayhissalomning ta’limotlarini o‘z ichiga olmaydi, balki asrlar davomida shakllangan, tarixiy jihatdan yig‘ma kanondir. Uning mazmunining sifati va qamrovining kengligini hisobga olsak, Payg‘ambar ﷺning ta’limotlari chuqurligi va qadriyati bilan ajralib turishda davom etmoqda. U odamlarning Yaratuvchisi bilan, atrofdagilar bilan, hatto hayvonlar va jonsiz narsalar bilan munosabatlarini belgilab berdi hamda shaxsiy va jamoaviy farovonligi bilan bog‘liq barcha masalalar bo‘yicha zamonlar o‘tishi bilan ham ahamiyatini yo‘qotmaydigan donolik berdi.
A person can also marvel at the sheer volume of what has been documented of Muhammad’s صلى الله عليه وسلم brief ministry from 610-632 CE. The Qur’an and Sunnah cannot be compared with the Bible, for instance, since the latter does not solely contain the teachings of Moses but rather is an aggregated historical canon whose development spanned centuries. Considering the quality of its substance and breadth of its scope, what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم taught continues to distinguish itself as a message of exceptional depth and value. It defined people’s relationships with their Maker, with those around them, even with animals and inanimate objects, and provided timeless wisdom about everything related to their individual and collective well-being.
Shu yerdan boshlab, uning ichki izchilligini, ya'ni aqida va ruhiy yuksalish, shaxsiy fazilat, o'zaro munosabat, fuqarolik qonunlari hamda tashqi siyosatga oid masalalarni qamrab olgan bunday keng qamrovli to'plamning uyg'unligini ko'rib chiqishga moyillik paydo bo'ladi; bu uyg'unlik shunchalik nozik ediki, tarix davomida ko'pchilikni uni mo''jiza deb bilishga undagan.
From there, one may be drawn to consider its internal consistency; the harmony of such a comprehensive corpus that informs theology, spiritual enlightenment, individual virtue, interpersonal behavior, civil laws, and foreign policies with such intricacy that led many throughout history to find it miraculous.
Ular xabarning bu jihatini inson aql-zakovatidan ustun deb bilishdi va buni eng oqilona tarzda faqat Xudoning mukammal tabiatiga xos bo‘lgan muvozanat deb baholashdi.
They saw this facet of the final message as beyond human sophistication, and more reasonably a balancing act that could only be attributable to God’s perfect nature.
Nihoyat, bu xabarning chuqurligi boshqa diniy ta'limotlar bilan solishtirilganda yanada yaqqolroq namoyon bo'ladi. Ular tanqid ostida yoki vaqt o'tishi bilan so'nib ketgan. Ideyalarning va faktlarni tekshirishning global tarqalishiga imkon bergan texnologik davrimizda Yevropa va Shimoliy Amerikada Xristianlikni tark etayotganlar Islomni tark etayotganlardan ancha ko'pdir. Islomning ko'plab tanqidchilariga qaramay o'sishi esa, uning ichki haqiqatini, shuningdek, zamon va makon bo'ylab umumiyligini yana bir bor isbotlamoqda. U turli ta'lim, iqtisodiy va madaniy darajadagi odamlar uchun ham yaroqlidir. Islom qonunlari va diniy ta'limotlari ham bardavom bo'lib kelmoqda, holbuki hech bir jamiyat hayotning barcha qatlamidagi odamlarga muvozanat va har tomonlama farovonlik bera oladigan, shunga o'xshash doimo dolzarb tizimni yarata olmadi.
Finally, the profundity of the message becomes further evident when contrasted with other religious doctrines that waned in the face of criticism or simply with the passage of time. In our technological age which has facilitated the globalization of ideas and fact-checking, far more people leave Christianity than Islam in Europe and North America. Islam’s growth despite its many detractors, on the other hand, continues to demonstrate its inherent veracity as well as its universality across time and place, being viable for people of very different educational, economic, and cultural backgrounds. The laws of Islam as well as its religious doctrines also continue to endure, while no society has been able to devise a comparable ever-relevant system that offers equilibrium and holistic well-being to people of all walks of life.
Ushbu bobda Xabarning o'nta jihati yoritiladi, ular asosan yigirma birinchi asr odamlariga osonroq tushunarli bo'ladi. Bu jihatlar Oxirgi Payg'ambar ﷺ xabarini butunligicha anglashga yordam beradi, chunki ular uning payg'ambarligini himoya qilishda yig'ma dalil bo'lib xizmat qiladi.
This chapter will showcase ten highlights of this message, focusing on those more easily appreciated by people in the twenty-first century. These dimensions should help us appreciate the message of the Final Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in its totality, as they form a cumulative case in defense of his prophethood.
