To proclaim the truth that there’s only ONE God and to call mankind and jinn kind to worship only ALLAH TA’ALA without ascribing partners to Him and to submit to ALLAH TA’ALA.
“I (Muhammad) have been commanded only to worship the Lord of this city (Makkah) Who has sanctified it and to Whom belongs everything. And I am commanded to be from among the Muslims (those who submit to Allah in Islam).”
Surah An Naml 27, verse 91
2. To deliver glad tidings and warnings and reminders.
“And with truth, We have sent it down (I.e the Qur’an) and with truth, it has descended. And We have sent you (Muhammad) as nothing but a bearer of glad tidings (of Paradise, for those who follow your Message of Islamic Monotheism) and a warner (of Hell-Fire for those who refuse to follow your Message of Islamic Monotheism).”
Surah Al Isra 17, verse 105
“And warn them (0 Muhammad) of the Day of grief and regrets, when the case has been decided, while (now) they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not.”

Catholics believe that since the saints are already with God, they can more easily pray to Him on behalf of those asking for their help. The Catholic faith teaches that when someone prays to a saint, the saint may intercede with God and bring about a greater response from Him as compared to if a person simply prayed directly to God.
When Catholics pray to saints, they are praying for guidance in connecting with Jesus Christ. The saints can serve as guides or teachers for those who struggle with understanding or communicating with Jesus. In this way, prayer to the saints can direct people back towards Him so that they do not become distracted and stray away from their faith journey.
Praying to saints can also help Catholics strengthen their faith by allowing them to focus more closely on the example of holiness demonstrated by the every saint being celebrated and invoked. By meditating and reflecting on their lives, we can better understand the ideas and principles of our religion. Which is why many use prayer as devotionals for strengthening their faith journey toward heaven and a closer relationship with God.
Through praying to specific saints during particular times such as feast days or during special celebrations like All Saints’ Day. Catholics demonstrate appreciation for all of those who have gone before us as examples of living out Christian virtues in different situations throughout history. Ask Saints to pray for us enabling to identify better with our own struggles and grow our relationship with God through them.
