*_PROPHET MUHAMMED (S.A.W) WAS AND REMAINS THE ONLY MESSENGER FOR MANKIND FROM THE CREATOR_*

ALLAH says in Qur'an 18:110

قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ بَشَرٌ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَٰهُكُمۡ إِلَٰهٌ وَٰحِدٌۖ فَمَن كَانَ يَرۡجُواْ لِقَآءَ رَبِّهِۦ فَلۡيَعۡمَلۡ عَمَلًا صَٰلِحًا وَلَا يُشۡرِكۡ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ أَحَدًۢا 

ALLAH says to HIS Messenger Muhammad Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam,

قُلْ

(Say) to those idolators or disbelievers who reject your message,

إِنَّمَآ أَنَاْ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ

(`I am only a man like you.) Whoever claims that I am lying, let him bring something like this that I have brought. For I did not know the Unseen, the matters of the past which you asked me about and I told you about, the story of the people of the Cave and of Dhul-Qarnayn, stories which are true. I did not know any of this except for what ALLAH made known to me. And I tell you,

إِنَّمَآ إِلَـهُكُمُ

(that your God), Who calls you to worship HIM,

إِلَـهٌ وَحِدٌ

(is One God), with no partner or associate.'

فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَآءَ رَبِّهِ

(So whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord,) i.e., hopes for a good reward and recompense,

فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلاً صَـلِحاً

(let him work righteousness) meaning, in accordance with the prescribed laws of ALLAH,

وَلاَ يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدَا

(and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord.) This is what is meant by seeking the pleasure of ALLAH alone with no associate or partner. These are the two basic features of acceptable deeds: their intent is for the sake of ALLAH alone and are done in accordance with the way of the Messenger of ALLAH. *_May ALLAH keeps guiding us all_*. Aameen.
