Q.27: Our Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W.W.) got his spiritual power from God after reaching the age of 40, to preach Islam. Why not before, when there were other people who were worshiping idols during that time and also needed preaching of Islam? A. It is wrong to say that Our Holy Prophet got spiritual power from God after reaching the age of 40. He was Nabi even before the creation of Hazrat Adam (A.S.) you should say He was allowed to preach when he reached the age of 40. Why was he ordered to wait for such a long time? It was because Allah wanted the people of Arabia to see his character, truth, honesty, so that when he claimed that he was sent from Allah nobody could say (God forbid) was an untrustworthy person or an imposter. In fact, the people of Mecca accused him of being a poet, a sorcerer or a bewitched man; but never could they accuse him of being untrustworthy. Even as they were planning to kill him, they used to keep their valuables with him in trust. This trust and faith could not have been manifested had the Holy Prophet announced his Prophet-hood in his earlier life. Your Questions Answered (volume 1) Author : Sayyid Saeed Akhtar Rizvi
