The Infallibility of the Prophets

The following is the draft English translation of the a chapter from volume 1 of the masterpiece ,  'Shaksiya Islamiya' (The Islamic Personality) by Sheikh Taqiuddin an-Nabhani.   For exact meanings please refer to the original Arabic. The Infallibility of the Prophets When it is said that the Islamic ‘aqeeda consists of the belief in Allah (swt), His angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Day of Judgement and qada wal- qadār , the good and bad of which is from Allah (swt). This does not mean that there are other things which the Muslims are not obligated to believe in. Rather, it means that this is the basis and there are other thoughts which relate to the ‘ aqeeda , such as the infallibility of the Prophets which comes under the belief in the prophets. The evidence of the infallibility of the Prophets is a rational evidence and not a textual evidence because the proof of the prophethood of a Prophet and the message of the messenger to whom he has been sent is rational
