Signs of the Living God — Page xiii
Foreword Revelation is a central feature of almost all religions and can be defined as the disclosure of a hidden or future truth by God or other form of deity. All the major religions of the world today testify to the truth of revelation and present prophecies from their scripture as evidence of their divine origins and authenticity. This is also true of the Islamic tradition which holds that since the time of the Prophet Adam as , God has revealed Himself to certain individuals and sent them as prophets and messengers to mankind, so that they may guide people and bring them towards the worship of their creator. In the Holy Qur’an, God says to the Prophet Muhammad sa : ِ وَّلٰكِن َّ اَكْث ََ النَّاس وَّنَذِيًْا اَرْسَلْنٰك َ اِل َّ ك َٓ فَّة ً لِّلنَّاس ِ بَشِيًْا ٓ وَم�َ 1 َ ل َ يَعْلَمُوْن 1 Surah Saba’, 34:29 [Publishers]
