The Concept of Complete Religion

THE APPEARANCE OF DAJJAL authentic source of divine religion, is not available to man. In present times neither of the conditions mentioned above is valid, considering that a final prophet came in the form of Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul Muttalib, who was God’s prophet for all time for the entire world, and the teachings of this prophet have been fully preserved. Therefore, there is no need for any other prophet. There is no doubt about it that circumstances have changed. However, what is required is that, by the exercise of ijtihaad, we must present the teachings of the final prophet of Islam in a manner that is entirely understandable to the modern mind so that people may find his teachings relevant in the modern world as they were in the past. The change in circumstances only proves the necessity for ijtihaad rather than the need for the coming of a new prophet.
