Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
PROPHETS and MESSENGERS have always served as a link between the Creator and the created. They are the only source of divine guidance for mankind. It is only through them that we recognize our CREATOR and are able to distinguish right from wrong and vice from virtue. They are the ones who lead us light by practicing the Message they were sent with. They taught why and how to please ALLAH (Perfect is HE) and they are the ones who have warned us against ALLAH displeasure and wrath. Reward and punishment and success and failure, Aayah 43 of Surah Al-Aa’raf tells us that the people favoured for Paradise while entering will say:
“Praise be to ALLAH, Who guided us to this [Paradise]: had ALLAH not guided us, we would have never found the way…”
And they will soon add: “without doubt the Messengers of our Lord brought the Truth.”
The status which has been given to our beloved Prophet Muhammed (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) among all Prophets and Messengers is UNIQUE. He is superior most and excels all among Allah’s creation, Last in the chain of Prophets, being the greatest benefactor of humanity, in him (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) culminates the perfection of all earlier Messages. We are indebted to him more than anyone else because he connected us with ALLAH (The king of Kings) and the only way to express our gratitude to him is to submit supplication to ALLAH that HE may shower HIS blessings upon him (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and raise his status to the degree which only HE, ALLAH knows best. Its important we dont forget him in our dua in an effort to gain mercy from ALLAH. For how to remember him as he thought us? don't miss my afternoon reminder. *_We ask ALLAH to protect us from any religious innovations and keep guiding our eemaan through the teachings of our beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)_*. Aameen.
