The Prophet: God’s Mercy and Guidance

The Prophet, bpuh, said: ‘I have been told a parable about myself: A lord built a house, laid a feast in it, and sent an emissary to invite everybody to the feast. Anyone who accepted his invitation, he entered the house, ate of the feast, and earned the lord’s pleasure; but the one who did not accept his invitation, he did not enter the house, got no share of the feast, and incurred the lord’s anger.’

He, then, explained thus: ‘The lord is God, the emissary who issues the invitation to the feast is Muhammad, the house is Islam, and the feast is the Paradise.’
