In the Qur’an, the Prophet Muhammad is described as being sent as a [mercy to the worlds] (Al-Anbiyaa’ 21:107). Muslims believe he was sent all humanity and all times.

How can there be mercy within war?

The answers to these and more questions were provided by Muhammad Al-Mukhtar  Al-Shinqiti, Director of the Islamic Center of South Plains, Lubbock, Texas in a live dialogue.
