Allaah
Ta’ala Honouring His Prophet
Muhammad
- sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam
There are many
Ayaat regarding how benevolent Allaah Ta’ala was to His Prophet Muhammad -
sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam , and how Allaah Ta’ala defended him and
protected him and guarded him.
What is mentioned in Soorah Duha’
<< By the forenoon (after sun-rise); And by the night
when it is still (or darkens); Your Lord (O Muhammad has neither forsaken you nor hated you.>>[1] to the end of the Soorah, is a refutation on
those who said: ‘Indeed your Lord hates you O Muhammad’, as is mentioned in the
saheeh of al-Bukharee.
From the Honour
that Allaah blessed him with, is what He has prepared for him in the hereafter,
and with what Allaah Ta’ala withheld from him in this world from what was
halaal.
Also what is mentioned in Soorah al-Kauthar << Verily, We have granted you (O Muhammad) Al-Kauthar
(a river in Paradise). >>[2]
to the end of the Soorah, is a refutation on those who said : Indeed you have
been cut off from prosperity . As it is
narrated by al-Bazaar, and is mentioned in Tafseer Ibn Katheer -may Allaah
mercy on him.
Also what Abu Lahab – may Allaah 's curse be upon him – said to the
Messenger - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-: May you perish O Muhammad, is this what you have called us to?
Allaah defended His Prophet and He revealed: << Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab (an uncle of the Prophet), and perish
he! >>[3]
as is mentioned in Saheeh al-Bukhari.
The blessing Allaah bestowed upon the Prophet in Soorah << Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad)?>>[4]
is sufficient has an honour.
There are many other Ayaat which show the great status of the Messenger
- sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam with his Lord, and that no one is successful except by having Emaan in
the Messenger - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam, as the Messenger - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam said: 'There is no Jew or Christian who hears
about me, and then does not believe in me except that he enters the fire."
As is mentioned in Saheeh al-Bukharee.
No slave of Allaah truly believes in the Messenger -
sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam until he
becomes more beloved to the slave than his father, his son, and all mankind. This
hadeeth is agreed upon by Bukharee and Muslim.
Allaah supported the Messenger with miracles, and He completed His
blessings upon him. He forgave him for
his past and future sins. He attached
obedience to the Messenger with obedience to His own self, which He mentioned
in more than one place in the Qur'aan.
Allaah Ta'aala informs us that having Emaan in the Messenger -
sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam and
following him is a reason for someone to be guided.
Allaah Ta'aala said:
<< So believe in Allaah and
His Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, who believes in
Allaah and His Words and follow him so that you may be guided. >>[5]
Following the Messenger -
sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam is a
cause for Allaah to love the slave, and a basis for Allaah to forgive His
slave's sins.
Allaah Ta'ala said:
<< Say: "If you
(really) love Allaah then follow me, Allaah will love you and forgive you of
your sins. And Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." >>[6]
The Messenger of Allaah - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam will be an intercessor while the other great
Prophets will exempt themselves of it.
He is the flag carrier of Praise, the first to knock on the door of
Paradise. His - sallAllaahu
alayhi wa sallam distinguished
characteristics are more than what can be counted. Scholars have authored many books about his
miracles and distinguished characteristics.
Whoever requires more from some of these books, then he should see the
book; 'Dalail an-Naboowa' by al-Bayhaqi, 'Dalail an-Naboowa' by Abu Na'eem,
'al-Khasaais al-Kubra' by Suyootee and 'Ash-Shifaa fee Haqooq al-Mustapha' by
Qadi ' Aayaad even though it contains some soofi Tafseers and weak, fabricated
Ahadeeth, 'Alee al-Qari – may Allaah have mercy on him - indicated to some of
them.
All Praise belongs
to Allaah, may His peace and blessings be upon our final Prophet Muhammad, his
family, his companions and all those who follow his guidance.
