3. 1. The polytheists doubted the Prophethood of the Prophet ﷺ, therefore they denied your ﷺ Prophethood and said (وَيَقُوْلُالَّذِيْنَكَفَرُوْالَسْتَمُرْسَلًا ۭ قُلْكَفٰىباللّٰهِشَهِيْدًۢابَيْنِيْوَبَيْنَكُمْ ۙ وَمَنْعِنْدَهٗعِلْمُالْكِتٰبِ 43) 13. Ar-Ra'd:43) 'You are not a messenger.' In response to them, Allah swore by the Noble Qur'an and said that you ﷺ are among His messengers. In this, there is honor, virtue, and manifestation for you ﷺ. Allah did not swear an oath for the Prophethood of any other messenger; this is also among your ﷺ distinctions and unique qualities that Allah swore an oath to establish your ﷺ Prophethood.
