Prophethood and Messengership progressed gradually, reaching their peak and culminating in completion. This fulfillment of the mission and perfection of prophecy forms the foundation of Muhammad’s excellence. The greatest manifestation of the completion of Messengership is that no other messenger achieved the dominance of God’s religion through their call, propagation, organization, struggle, and striving—except Muhammad, the Messenger of God. Every prophet was a caller, a proclaimer, a teacher, and a guide.

علامہ اقبال نے برعظیم پاک و ہند میں ایک علیحدہ مسلم مملکت کے قیام کی تین بنیادی وجوہات بیان کی ہیں۔ اول، یہ متحدہ ہندوستان میں مسلمانوں اور ہندوؤں کے درمیان جاری کشمکش کا واحد حل تھا۔ دوم، اس مملکت کے ذریعے مسلمانوں کو اسلام کا حقیقی نظام، جو محمد عربی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے قائم کیا تھا، بحال کرنے کا موقع ملے گا۔ یہ نظام خلافت راشدین پر مبنی ہے، جو ملوکیت کے دور میں فراموش ہو گیا تھا۔ سوم، اقبال نے کہا کہ پاکستان، بھارت کا سب سے بڑا محافظ ثابت ہوگا۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ یہ ملک شمال مغربی سرحد پر بھارت کی حفاظت کرے گا۔
