Isawiyya School and the beginning of the debate on the universality of the prophecy of Muhammad This article deals with the problem of the universality of the prophecy of Muhammad within the context of the claims of the Isawiyya school. There are several reason for our choice of this issue: From an earlier period the universality and particularity of the prophecy of Muhammad was an important issue of debate within the interreligious discussions. As a result, this issue was discussed in the Theological and Heresiographical sources. In this context, first the school of Isawiyya, who first claimed that the prophecy of Muhammad belongs to Arabs only, will be presented. Then the universality of the prophecy of Muhammad will be discussed and rational, traditional and historical arguments of Muslim scholars will be evaluated.
