God sent his messengers for guidance‚ and to create love and brotherhood among the people but unfortunately the history of religion is full of bigotry and hatred. The messengers were always the victims of violence. From Adam to this time‚ all the prophets without any exception‚ passed through the same channel of hatred and persecution.
