“Every Prophet is a reformer but not every reformer is a Prophet however extensive the reforms he achieves, because neither reformation nor social reconstruction is the essence of Prophet-hood. The essence of Prophet hood is a mysterious connection between the Prophet and Allah and His Unseen. It constitutes a bridge between the natural and supernatural worlds. This is the state which makes the Prophet a unique receptacle, a listener who receives inspiration from sublime realms beyond the reach of anyone other than another Prophet.
