Mission of the Muslim Ummah

MISSION OF THE MUSLIM UMMAH of the Quran, that is, to convey the word of God worldwide? We find the answer to this question in another verse of the Quran: “Say, ‘This Quran has been revealed to me so that through it I may warn you and whomever it reaches.” (6:19) The Prophet of Islam warned the people of his generation, and the believers who follow him will keep warning the people of their times in succeeding generations. This shows that the Prophet was responsible for conveying the message of the Quran to his contemporaries. Subsequently, it was the permanent responsibility of the ummah to keep conveying the message of the Quran to people of all ages. In this way, every generation of this ummah is duty-bound to keep conveying the Quranic message to people just as the Prophet had done in his time. The dissemination of the Quranic message is to be done in every generation. In the early stages, those who did this work were called Companions (Sahaba), Companion’s disciples (Tabiin), and the commentators of the Quran (Mufassirin), etc. Similarly, in the last phase of human history, there will be a particular group who will avail of the newfound opportunities for spreading the divine message
