We did not send any apostle before you but that We revealed to him that ‘There is no god except Me; so worship Me.’

The Prophets
We did not send any apostle before you but that We revealed to him that ‘There is no god except Me; so worship Me.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah Al-’Anbiya’ – Verse 25
25. “And We sent no Messenger before you but We revealed unto him that ‘Verily there is no god but I; so worship Me (alone)’.”
Allah has manifestly announced in the Holy Qur’an that Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, is the seal of the Prophets, where it says:
Yet, it has referred to this meaning in different ways and by different occasions. Among them is the fact that more than 30 times the Qur’anic phrase: /min qablika/ (before you) has been repeated in various occurrences of the Qur’an while the phrase /min ba‘dika/ (after you) has not occurred in the Qur’an even for one time. And, since it is possible that some unaware persons say that they have prophets such as Isac (as) who has invited them to numerous gods, the Qur’an, with full explicitness, in this verse says:
And, thus, it proves that, among Divine prophets, neither Isaac (as) nor other than him has invited people to polytheism at all, and these kinds of attributions are some slanders.
