Muhammad Is The Messenger of Allah

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

In this time of distance from God and the religion, it is very difficult for many people to appreciate what it means for the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, to be the Messenger of Allah.

We, as Muslims, when we utter the words, Muhammadar Rasullullah, we are testifying that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

Allah says, مُّحَمَّدٌ رَّسُولُ اللَّـهِ (Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah) [Qur'an Al-Fath 48:29]

In this verse, Allah himself has testified Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. This means that our testimony is not needed.

Allah could have said "Muhammad is My Messenger" محمد رسولي but He said Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. He said this for a reason. Whenever something is ascribed to Allah, it raises it. It is very special.

Why did Allah send us a messenger?

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا لِيُطَاعَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّـهِ

And We did not send any messenger except to be obeyed by permission of Allah.

[Qur'an An-Nisa 4:64]

The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, is Allah's representative to guide us to Him (the King). The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, is a very special human being. So we love him and we follow him, and we send blessings and salute him with all respect.

قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّـهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّـهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

"Say: 'If you love Allah, follow me, and Allah will love you, and forgive you your sins; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.'

[Qur'an AleImran 3:31]

إِنَّ اللَّـهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ۚ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا

Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect.

[Qur'an Al-Ahzab 33:56]

May Allah Almighty increase our love for the His beloved Messenger, Allah bless him and grant him peace. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
