Prophet Muhammad (S) was given the message just like other prophets/messengers, yet the message was completed and perfected on him.
[4:163] Surely We have revealed to you as We revealed to Nuh, and the prophets after him, and We revealed to Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and Isa and Ayub and Yunus and Haroun and Sulaiman and We gave to Dawood.
Muhammad (S) 's religion was mainly the Religion Of Prophet Ibrahim a.s (Islam)
[3:68] Most surely the nearest of people to Ibrahim are those who followed him and this Prophet and those who believe and Allah is the guardian of the believers.
The Religion was Completed and Perfected on Muhammad (S)
5:3 This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion; but whoever is compelled by hunger, not inclining willfully to sin, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Muhammad was sent with the glad tiding that one day Islam will prevail over ALL RELIGIONS.
[9:33] He it is Who sent His Apostle with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though the polytheists may be averse.
Muhammad was sent for his time and until the end of times....
| 62:2 | He is the One who sent to the gentiles a messenger from among them, to recite to them His revelations, purify them, and teach them the scripture and wisdom. Before this, they had gone far astray. |
| 62:3 | And to many generations subsequent to them. He is the Almighty, Most Wise. |
Muhammad (S) is called the "Seal Of Prophets"which is also complete in it's meaning, the BEST, the LAST.No prophet can come after him!
[33:40] Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of ALLAH, and the seal of the Prophets and ALLAH has full knowledge of all things.
Allah ta'la has assigned the four great rewards in the other world (darajaat) for those who follow Allah and the prophet Muhammad (S). Nabiyeen, Siddiqeen, Shuhada and Soaliheen.This proves the importance of following the Religion of Islam through Muhammad (S).
These rewards are assigned for Akhirat since no came can claim I' a Soalaeh, or Siddeeq or Nabi or Shaheed. (Some people are mis-interpretiethis Ayat to justify the continuition of prophet-hood in Islam)
( Hadiths also proves that Muhammad (s) is the Last prophet and there will be No prophet after him)
4:69 Those who obey GOD and the messenger belong with those blessed by GOD - the prophets, the saints, the martyrs, and the righteous. These are the best company.
"These are the best company." means that those rewarded ones will be in the company of the rewarded peoples in here-after!
These rewards can be compared ,in terms of following Allah and prophets in general.
[57:19] Those who believed in GOD and His messengers are the saints and martyrs.
Generally Allah says he will appoint his khalifas to revive and establish His religion, from time to time.
24:55 ALLAH has promised to those among you who believe and do good works that HE will, surely, make them successors (Khalifa) in the earth, as HE made Successors from among those who were before them; and that HE will, surely, establish for them their religion which HE has chosen for them; and that HE will, surely, give them in exchange security and peace after their fear; They will worship ME and they will not associate anything with ME. Then whoso disbelieves after that, they will be the rebellious.
May Allah guide us to the right path. Ameen
Referred to "Muhammad-The Final Messenger"
