Abstract
Textually, Surah al-Anbiya' verse 107 states that the Prophet Muhammad was sent as a mercy to the universe. The commentators have different interpretations, especially in the classical and modern periods. Most classical commentators interpret the word grace in verse as the existence of the Prophet Muhammad. In contrast, in the modern period, many interpret the word grace in verse as the teachings brought by the Prophet Muhammad. Abdurrahman Wahid interpreted the word "rahmat" as a brotherhood. Therefore, the Prophet Muhammad was sent as a carrier of brotherhood for all humankind. Therefore, this research aims to find out the implications of Abdurrahman Wahid's interpretation and the implications of his interpretation. The results of this study are; first, Abdurrahman Wahid did not interpret the sentence "rahmatan lil' ‘a>lamin" as affection, but he interpreted "I have not sent you, Muhammad, except to carry out a mission of universal brotherhood". This interpretation happens because Abdurrahman Wahid interprets grace in verse following the primary word, which comes from the mother's "womb". Therefore, it implies having the meaning of brotherhood, and secondly, it has implications for people who respect plurality and encourage interfaith dialogue.
