Summary
On al-Baqara 285, where the believers make no distinction among God's messengers, Sha'rawi holds that belief covers God, His angels, His books and His messengers 1.
Creed and rulings
He says that the principles of belief are one in all revelations, and that rulings differ with the matters of each age, so the difference of rulings is not a distinction among messengers 2.
Hearing and obeying
He holds that hearing is the arrival of the call and obedience is the response to what is required, so life's activity cannot be cut off from religion, since every movement falls within obedience 3.
Not yet checked
The separation between fixed creed and changing ruling is Sha'rawi's reading, not checked against the creedal and legal-theory books. The academic view and any non-Sunni view have not been checked.
