....The
prophets called their people to the righteous path dependably
and never asked for any reward. Allah Almighty says:
...."I am to you a messenger worthy
of all trust: So fear Allah, and obey me. No reward do I ask of
you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds."
(Shuara, 107-109)
....The prophets were just and fair.
As they worked for justice in the time before their prophecy,
they also treated everyone equally and justly and never discriminated
against anyone based on kinship or enmity.
....Allah Almighty says:
...."To every people (was sent)
a messenger: when their messenger comes (before them), the matter
will be judged between them with justice, and they will not be
wronged." (Yunus, 47)
....The duty of the prophets was
to call their people to the righteous path and to explain the
divine decrees that had been revealed to them in detail.
....Some prophets were entrusted
with calling their people to the path without thinking or worrying
about the fact that merciless dictators had called for their deaths;
some were to call to their people without worrying about the reaction
of their communities and they were to continue to invite them
in a gentle and calm manner.
....Could the prophets perform miracles,
supernatural events, and wonderful phenomenon as they wished?
....No, they could not.
....Allah Almighty says:
...."It was not meet for a messenger
that he should bring a sign except with Allah's permission."
(Mumen, 78) .
