Hello,

I was wondering why God decided to channel the Koran through only one prophet. Would it not have been more effective to have had several prophets all around the world, simultaneously distributing the exact same religious text to all Earth's civilisations, cultures and tribes?

Thank you in advance to anyone offering helpful answers.

The Children of Israel were sent many messengers and prophets because they constantly disbelieved and disobeyed God Almighty. So over time they were sent these messengers and prophets so that they would follow His Laws and not follow their own whims and desires.

Prophet Muhammad (SalAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) was sent as a mercy to the world. Whereas the prophets and messengers before him were sent to one nation, Prophet Muhammad (SalAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) has been to ALL mankind until the Day of Resurrection.

Prophet Muhammad (SalAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) is the seal of all prophets meaning that he is the final messenger and prophet to mankind until the Day of Resurrection.

Naba - the Great News
Nabi - bringer of the Great News (warning and glad tidings)

Rasool - messenger of GOD

Nabi must not be a Rasool
But Rasool must be a Nabi

Over the years/ generations there always be Nabi..
But only when the term is up God will send his Rasool on a mission..

what is Rasool mission?

(AL fath 28)
It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all religion: and enough is Allah for a Witness.

(AL mujadila 21)
Allah has decreed: "It is I and My messengers who must prevail": For Allah is One full of strength, able to enforce His Will.

So every Rasool is a (KHATAM)UN ANBIYA..

KHATAM - means is Final / end

So muhammad is a final prophet of its time..but not a final rasool (messenger)

Its important we must differentiate betweeen nabi and rasool..

(Al AHZAAB 40)
Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the last (end) of the Prophets. And Allah is Ever All-Aware of everything.
