Abstract

The indispensability of Prophet-hood is wholly established fact throughout the intellectual glob for its divine force and support that lightens the ways of life. However, there has been a contention of views within the people of books and Islam. Islam holds the view that Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) is not only for Arab’s gentiles rather Islam presents him as a prophet for all mankind. Number of Qur’anic verses explicitly describes the universality of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). Since, the Islamic teachings have a perfect status to delve into worldly problems and become a categorical source of emancipation for all the human-being, some Orientalists like Wensinck, Carl Brockelmann, Wellhausin, Edward Gibbon and Montgomery Watt etc., allure the notion that Muhammad was merely sent to the pagans of Mecca and that he never tried to convert Jews and Christians towards Islam. The paper has specifically concerns with this contradict opinion of Orientalists and highlights the features of Prophetic universality, while encountering their views on the basis of critical analysis.
