‘Say: I am but a man like yourselves, (but) The inspiration has come to me …’ (Q.18:110) In relation to Kalimat sh-shahādah, the verse quoted above
Answer Details
The verse quoted above (Q.18:110) is related to the Kalimat sh-shahādah, which is the declaration of faith in Islam. The verse emphasizes that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a human being like any other person, but he was blessed with divine inspiration. This means that he received guidance from Allah, which enabled him to deliver the message of Islam to people. The verse serves as a reminder that although Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a great messenger of Allah, he was not divine and should not be worshiped. Instead, Muslims should only worship Allah. This is an important aspect of the Kalimat sh-shahādah, which affirms the oneness of Allah and the prophethood of Muhammad. In summary, the verse quoted above (Q.18:110) emphasizes that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a human being who received divine inspiration, and it serves as a reminder that Muslims should only worship Allah. It does not trace the origin of the expression, prove that any other prophet could take the place of Muhammad, or provide a summary of the content.
