Quote by Ali Abdel Raziq
It would be blasphemy to say that Muhammad died without completing his mission, but if the caliphate had been part of his mission he would not have left it unsettled.

Understanding this quote
The quote draws a distinction between Muhammad’s religious mission and the question of the caliphate. It says that claiming his mission was unfinished would be blasphemous, while also arguing that the caliphate was not part of that mission because he left its succession unsettled. In short, religious completion and political leadership are treated as separate matters.
