This Is My Faith - Al-fatlawi, Ali - الصفحة ١٣٩ - Is Prophethood Divine’s Grace?

Anwar: Will you use an example?

Hasan: Yes, promising with good and warning with punishment or the principle of intimidating from doing bad deeds and motivating to do good deeds.

Anwar: Thank you for clarifying the rule. I understand now that sending prophets is a necessity.

Hasan: Thank you! In the Noble Quran, this is expressed as “bringer of glad tidings and warner”. There are other roles for Prophets, of course. They educate people, command them to do good and forbid them from doing bad. This comes as part of ‘resultant grace’.

Anwar: What is this?

Hasan: Grace is divided into two parts:

· Resultant grace

· Close grace

The first one means accomplishing the preparations and the basics with which this purpose can be served, that is, it is a possible grace.

The second means it is bringing close and not possible.
