Eventually, all nations of earth would be blessed through his person, as the last and final messenger of God to take out the people from darknesses to light.

Conveying the message of God, instructing the people in the Qur'an and wisdom and guiding them towards purifying their souls from polytheism and all kinds of sins was the mission of Prophet Muhammad.
