Transliteration:( Fa arsalnaa feehim Rasoolam minhum ani'budul laaha maa lakum min ilaahin ghairuhoo afalaa tattaqoon (section 2) )
"Then We sent to them a messenger from [50] amongst themselves saying that [51], 'Worship Allah, there is no god for you besides Him. Do you then not fear?"
Allah sent messengers like Hazrat Hud and Hazrat Saleh (عليهما السلام) from among their own communities. This reflects a divine principle: most Prophets were raised from within the very people they were sent to, making their message more relatable and accessible.
This teaches us that all Prophets were united in core beliefs—particularly Tawheed (Oneness of Allah)—though their laws and practices differed. Therefore, any act prescribed in a Prophet’s law cannot be labeled as shirk, since Prophets never taught polytheism, but always called towards the worship of Allah alone.
