We as people will find unjust for Allah to judge us if he did not send his message to every corner in the world, and indeed Allah has send messengers and prophets to every corner of the world calling people to Islam ( it means submission to the message that the messengers bring you) and to become Muslims( the one who received the message of Allah and excepted it). as you learn you will come to know Allah did send messengers across every nation to give them a message and we learn from Islam that Allah send the last messenger Muhammad who was not only send to his people or nation but to every corner of the world. But what is this message that the messengers were given and how were people to know if this message is indeed from Allah?
Allah states in the Quran, " And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allah and avoid Taghut." And among them were those whom Allah guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers"(16:36).
"And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners. So whoever believes and reforms - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve(6:48)".
This means that the message given to the messengers was that the people should not worship any other god except Allah. This could be taking the sun, moon, animals, humans as gods besides Allah. so they were command to stop and direct their worship to Allah, the one god, the creator of the heavens and earth. The end result was that there were two groups of people. one group excepted the message of the creator and stopped the worship of other false gods besides Allah, which because of this they were guided to the straight path- the path of the creator. The other group rejected the message and followed their desire worshiping the creation of Allah instead of the creator of everything and followed the path of their forefathers. This resulted in them not being guided to the straight path.
How were people to know if the message is from Allah?
Every messenger brought to his people a sign that when people see will know that only the creator of the havens and earth could give a sign like this. These signs from the creator are called miracle for they defy the laws of nature which Allah has created.
here is one example of the messenger of Allah .The messenger mosses peace be upon him was given a sign or a miracle which was to make a stick become alive and turn to snake. The people Moses(peace be upon him) was send to were people who practiced magic so Allah gave them a miracle to turn a stick to snake. This when seen will make any who practice magic know that what they see is not magic but something real which they will than follow Allah. Allah says "So he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly(20:20)".
another miracle for the people of Moses(peace be upon him) to follow him was when he split the ocean. Allah says "Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain(26:63).
Allah send his last messenger Muhammed (peace and blessing be upon him). HE was send to every nation but he had to start preaching to his people first and Allah gave him a miracle which would be the miracle the people of that time and All the humanity will believe and follow the last messenger. This miracle which he was given and anyone can see is the Quran. He the prophet was know to his people not able to read and write and Allah reveled the quran upon him so that his people first rejection will not be the quran is from him. He was send to people who were at height of their language and were known to be at the hight of poetry. Allah gave the quran which the speech of Allah to challenge the people to come up something like the quran if they think this quran is the speech of a human being. Allah states in the quran "Say, "If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants."
It is upon now for everyone from any corner of the world to believe in the message of the last messenger (Muhammed peace be upon him). Allah says " Say, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death." So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered prophet, who believes in Allah and His words, and follow him that you may be guided.
You believe in him will take you to paradise and your disbelieve in him will take you to Hellfire. Allah says "The description of Paradise which the Muttaqun (pious - see V. 2:2) have been promised is that in it are rivers of water the taste and smell of which are not changed; rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers of wine delicious to those who drink; and rivers of clarified honey (clear and pure) therein for them is every kind of fruit; and forgiveness from their Lord. (Are these) like those who shall dwell for ever in the Fire, and be given, to drink, boiling water, so that it cuts up their bowels?(47:15)".
"Then, to Allah belongs [all] praise - Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, Lord of the worlds".
