Challenge from Almighty Allah to all the people through His messenger: Response of messenger to Tucson Submitters Organization

The Quran Inspired to the Messenger Page 43

The appointment of the person and the miracles go hand in hand. One without the other is not enough and good. As for your quotation of verse 38:1 being reserved for the messenger of the…
