To Shakeel: Why is the Arabian peninsula still not free of other religions?

The prophethood of Muhammad (sws) had two dimensions. He was sent as a prophet especially toward Arabs, therefore judgment of God were to take place on Arabs, mean, all those who followed the prophet were to be rewarded and all those who rejected the prophet were to be punished.

He was also sent as a prophet for whole world. But in that case, Judgment of God was not to be held on people.

In short, in Islamic sense, God keeps remembering people about the Day of Judgment from time to time through his Prophets. He selects a set of people in some time and carries out His Judgment on them through His Prophet in which believers get reward and rejecters get punishment.

By doing so, God remembers all the rest people that Day of Judgment is true and it will surely come as it came in its minor form through the hand of His Prophet.
