Are Messengers Except the Prophet (pbuh) Sent to Their Own Nations Only?

Question:

Salam Sir

What I have studied in school days was that every messenger before Muhammad (PBUH) came for the specific/limited time and for specific/limited place. Is it true for Christianity and Jewish too? 

Thank You


Answer:

Salam,

In my understanding, every messenger or prophet were sent to their own nations. However the core message that they had was universal and relevant to all nations. You can read my detailed article about this here.
