The Quran provides straightforward criteria to distinguish the true
messengers of God from the false
messengers:

[1] God's messenger advocates the
worship of God ALONE, and the abolition of all forms of idol worship.

[2] God's messenger never asks for wage for himself. [3] God's messenger is given divine,
incontrovertible proof of his
messengership.
Anyone who claims to be God's
messenger, and does not meet the three
minimum criteria listed above is a false claimant.The most important difference between God's messenger and a fake
messenger is that God's messenger is supported by God, while the
fake messenger is not:
* God's messenger is supported by God's invisible soldiers
(3:124-126, 9:26 & 40, 33:9, 37:171-173, 48:4 & 7, 74:31).
*God's messenger is supported by God's treasury (63:7-8)
* God's messenger, as well as the believers, are guaranteed victory
and dignity, in this world and forever (40:51 & 58:21).Thus, the truthfulness of God's messenger invariably prevails, while
the falsehood of a fake messenger invariably, sooner or later, is
exposed.God's Messenger of the Covenant is a consolidating messenger. His
mission is to purify and unify all existing religions into one:
Islam (Submission).Islam is NOT a name; it is a description of one's total submission
and devotion to God ALONE, without idolizing Jesus, Mary, Muhammad, or the saints. Anyone who meets this criterion is a "Muslim" (Submitter). Therefore, one may be a Muslim Jew, a Muslim
Christian, a Muslim Hindu, a Muslim Buddhist, or Muslim Muslim.God's Messenger of the Covenant delivers God's proclamation that
"The only religion approved by God is Submission" (3:19) and that
"Anyone who seeks other than Submission as a religion, it will not
be accepted from him/her" (3:85).A messenger of God must present proof that he is God's messenger.
Every messenger of God is supported by incontrovertible divine
signs proving that he is authorized by the Almighty to deliver His
messages. Moses threw down his staff and it turned into a serpent,
Jesus healed the leprous and revived the dead by God's leave,
Saaleh's sign was the famous camel, Abraham walked out of the fire,
and Muhammad's miracle was the Quran (29:50-51).The Quran (3:81, 33:7, 33:40) and the Bible (Malachi 3:1-3) have
prophesied the advent of the consolidating messenger, God's
Messenger of the Covenant. It is only befitting that a messenger
with such a crucial mission must be supported by the most powerful
miracle (74:30-35). While the miracles of previous messengers were
limited in time and place, God's miracle supporting His Messenger
of the Covenant is perpetual; it can be witnessed by anyone, at
anytime, in any place.God took a covenant from the prophets, saying, "I will give you the
scripture and wisdom. Afterwards, a messenger will come to confirm
all existing scriptures. You shall believe in him and support him."
He said, "Do you agree with this, and pledge to fulfill this
covenant?" They said, "We agree." He said, "You have thus borne
|witness, and I bear witness along with you."And, if any of them claims to be a god beside God, we will punish him in hell; we thus punish the wicked." (21:25-29)
