This lecture clarifies the distinction between *Nabuwat* (prophethood) and *Risalat* (messengership). It explains that all *Rusul* (messengers) are *Nabi* (prophets), but not all *Anbiya* (prophets) are *Rusul* (messengers). The analogy of a CSP officer’s career progression—qualifying through an exam, undergoing training, and then receiving specific assignments—illustrates the concept. Prophethood represents the foundational qualification, while messengership signifies a specific appointment to deliver a divine message. This appointment transforms the individual into a *Rasul*, tasked with conveying a warning or message to their people. The lecture emphasizes that this appointment defines the messenger’s role.

This lecture emphasizes the importance of seeking and maintaining a connection with this inner guidance.
