Greatness of His Eminence over Other Prophets

‫یَا َس َما ًء َما طَا َو َل ْت َها َس َما ُء‬

How could the (other) Prophets ascend to the altitude you attained

O the elevated one, those high ranking (Prophets) could not supersede such a
level

Verily a great light and monumental grace distinguishes You from them.

These are the Noble Messengers, to whom We gave excellence over each other;
of them are some with whom Allah spoke, and some whom He exalted high
above all others; and We gave Eisa (Jesus), the son of Maryam, clear signs and
We aided him with the Holy Spirit; and if Allah willed, those after them would
not have fought each other after the clear evidences had come to them, but they
differed – some remained on faith and some turned disbelievers; and had Allah
willed, they would not have fought each other; but Allah may do as He wills.

The Ummah has formed consensus that indeed some Prophets are
better than others, and indeed the Holy Prophet Muhammad – may
Allah send peace and blessings upon him – is most superior of all
Prophets for the following reasons:

If he is a Mercy unto all the worlds (every domain) then it is essential for him
to be the best of all the worlds.

The Shaykh and Imam – may Allah shower mercy upon him – said:
There has not been a single verse which was revealed to any Prophet
and not to our beloved Prophet – may Allah send peace and
blessings upon him or a verse like that. He was blessed with
excellence over others through some signs (miracles); such as:

• Splitting the moon with his gesture

• Nostalgia of the trunk upon his separation
• The greetings of stones and trees upon him
• Speech of the animals and their testimony on his
Prophethood
• Flow of water from his blessed fingers
• Other miracles and signs of his which are innumerable
• The most apparent of them is the Holy Quran that the people
of the heaven and earth have exhausted their efforts and still
failed to bring anything like it.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah – may Allah be pleased with him – reported that
the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – has
stated:

I have been granted excellence over other Prophets through six things:

1. I have been blessed with universal (short yet rich) expressions.

2. I have been assisted through fear ahead of me by the distance of a

month’s travel.
3. Spoils have been made lawful for me whereas they were never

allowed for anyone before me.

4. The entire earth has been purified and made a place of worship for

me.
5. I have been appointed over the entire creation.

6. Prophethood ends with me.

(Tafseer al-Baghawi)

2. The miracles of the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and
blessings upon him – are far superior to all the miracles of all the
Prophets which necessitates that our beloved Prophet – may Allah
send peace and blessings upon him – is superior to all the Prophets.

‫‪Allah Almighty commanded His beloved Prophet – may Allah send‬‬

‫‪peace and blessings upon him – to follow the path of Prophets that‬‬
‫‪came before him.‬‬

‫‪8‬‬
 www.musjidulhaq.com

So if it is said that since he was commanded to follow them in the

principle of religion then it is not valid, for it will be deemed
Taqleed, or in the secondary matters of religion which is also not
valid, for his Shariah abrogated all the other Shariahs, then the
objective of this command will be directed towards the Holy
Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – adorning
himself with beautiful morals and ethics. It is as if Allah Almighty
is stating, “Follow the predecessors in all their qualities” which will
conclude that he had accumulated all their pleasant qualities that
were possessed by each of them individually, which will necessarily
make him the best of them all.

5. The Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him
– was appointed over the entire creation which involves a great deal
of troubles. It proves that he is the best of all Prophets.

According to the following statement of Allah Almighty, he was

sent upon the entire mankind:

ً ‫ی‬ ْ ْ ۤ
‫اس‬
ِ ‫لن‬
َ ِ ‫کٓافَۃ ل‬
َ ‫ک ِا َّل‬
َ ‫َو َما اَر َسلن‬

And O beloved! We sent not you but with Messenger ship

encircling entire mankind.
(Saba 34, Verse 28)

It definitely involved a great series of trials and tribulations, for he

was alone without wealth or helpers, so when he addressed the
entire creation with the words, “O disbelievers!” All and sundry
became his enemy. He was at the receiving end of all threats coming
from everyone which was a great deal of trouble.

 www.musjidulhaq.com
As we see in the case of Sayyiduna Moosa – peace be upon him –
when he was appointed on Bani Israel, he did not have to fear
anything except Pharaoh and his army whereas the Holy Prophet –
may Allah send peace and blessings upon him, all and sundry
became his enemy.

When it has established that his troubles were the greatest of all that
the others had to face, it proves his excellence over the virtues of
others, in the words of the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace
and blessings upon him:

Indeed Allah Almighty caused the religion of Islam to abrogate all

the other religions which proves that the abrogator be the best, for
the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him –
has stated:

‫َم ْن َسنَّ ُس َّن ًة َح َس َن ًة َف َل ُه أَ ْجرُ َها َوأَ ْجرُ َم ْن َعمِ َل ب ِ َها إلِ َى َی ْوم ِا ْلق َِیا َم ِة‬
One who introduces a new good practice he receives its reward as
well as the reward of all those who will practice it till the Day of
Judgment.

So, if this religion is the best religion and most rewarding, its maker
will excel in rewards than the makers of all the other religions. It
proves that Sayyiduna Muhammad – may Allah send peace and
blessings upon him – is the best of all Prophets – peace be upon
them.

You are the best among all those nations appeared unto
mankind, you command to good, and forbid evil, and keep faith
unto Allah.
(Aale ‘Imran 3, Verse 110)

The fact is, that this Ummah reached this excellence only by
following into the footsteps of the Holy Prophet – may Allah send
peace and blessings upon him. Hence Allah Almighty states as
follows:

ْ ۡ ۡ ْ
ۡ ‫ل ِا ۡن ک ۡنت ْم تحب‬
‫کم اہلل‬

'O beloved! Say you, 'O people! If you love Allah, then follow
me; Allah will love you.
(Aale ‘Imran 3, Verse 31)

The excellence of followers points out the excellence of the leader.

Moreover, the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings
upon him – is the most virtuous one, for he was indeed appointed
to all the jinns as well as the mankind which proves that he is the
most virtuous, because the extraordinary followership signifies the
extraordinarily exalted station of the leader.

9. Sometimes excellence of some Prophets over others is measured by

their miracles. Abundance of miracles that are the proof of their
truthfulness and the reason of their appointment as a Prophet. Our
beloved Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him –
possessed over three thousand miracles which can be further divided
into the following categories:
• Miracles pertaining to his power; such as feeding a large number of
creation from little food and quenching their thirst with little water
etc.

16
 www.musjidulhaq.com
• Miracles pertaining to his knowledge of the unseen
• His Quranic eloquence
• Significant personal excellences; such as his lineage being the most
noble among the Arabs
• His great bravery
• His blessed code of conduct
• His tolerance and forbearance
• His affection
• His eloquence
• His generosity
The books of Ahadeeth are full of contents on each of these chapters.

Sayyiduna Adam and others will take shelter under my flag on the
Day of Judgment.

It proves that the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and

upon him – and his children.

The Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him
– has stated:
I am the leader of Adam’s children, yet I do not boast.

The Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him
– has also stated the following:
None from amongst the Prophets will enter Paradise until I enter it
and none amongst the Ummahs will enter it until my Ummah does.

Sayyiduna Anas – may Allah be pleased with him – narrated that

the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him –
has stated:
I will be the first one to come out when the resurrection will occur.
I will be their spokesperson when their delegation comes to me.

I will give them glad tidings when they lose hope.
The flag of Allah’s praise will be in my hand.
I am the most honourable in Allah’s sight amongst the children of
Adam, yet I do not boast.

Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Abbas – may Allah be pleased with them – is

reported to have said:
Once some of the companions were having a group discussion and
the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him –
heard their conversation.
One of them said, “It is so marvelous that Allah Almighty took
Sayyiduna Ibrahim – peace be upon him – as His Friend!”
Someone said, “What can be more marvelous than the conversation
of Sayyiduna Moosa – peace be upon him – with (Allah Almighty)!”
Another person added, “But Sayyiduna ‘Isa – peace be upon him –
is Roohullah!”
One said, “Allah Almighty has chosen Sayyiduna Adam – peace be
upon him.”
The Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him
– came out and said:
I heard your conversations and your arguments that Sayyiduna
Ibrahim – peace be upon him – is Allah’s Friend, which is exactly
as you said.
Sayyiduna Moosa – peace be upon him – is Kaleemullah, which is
exactly as you said.
Sayyiduna ‘Isa – peace be upon him – is Roohullah, and it is as it is
said.

Allah Almighty chose Sayyiduna Adam – peace be upon him, which
is exactly as you said.
But behold, I am the beloved of Allah, yet I do not boast.
I will be the one holding the flag of Allah’s Praise on the Day of
Judgment, yet I do not boast.
I will be the first one to intercede and the first one to be allowed to
intercede whose intercession will be accepted on the Day of
Judgment, yet I do not boast.
I will be the first one who will knock at the gate of Paradise and it
will be opened for me, so I will enter and the poor amongst the
believers will enter along with me, yet I do not boast.
I am the most honoured amongst my predecessors and those who
will come after me, yet I do not boast.

Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – said:
This is the leader of Arabs.
Sayyidah ‘Ayesha – may Allah be pleased with her – asked, “Aren’t

They then asked, “What is his excellence over other Prophets – peace be
upon them?”
He replied, “Allah Almighty stated:

ْ ‫ن رس ۡول ِا َّل بلسان ق ْوم ٖہ لیبۡی ل‬

ٍؕ ‫ُہ‬ ۡ ‫وما ۤ ا ْرس ْلنا م‬
ُّ َ َ ِ َ ُّ ِ ِ َ ِ َ ِ ِ ُّ َ ِ َ َ َ َ َ
And, We have sent each messenger in the language of his own people that he
may tell them clearly.
(Ibrahim 14, Verse 4)

But He stated the following for the beloved Prophet – may Allah send
peace and blessings upon him:

ً ‫ی‬ ْ ْ ۤ
‫اس‬
ِ ‫لن‬
َ ِ ‫کٓافَۃ ل‬
َ ‫ک ِا َّل‬
َ ‫َو َما اَر َسلن‬
And O beloved! We sent not you but with Messenger ship encircling entire
mankind.
(Saba 34, Verse 28)

So He sent him to the jinns as well as humans.

‫اورروسولںےسایلعٰ مہارایبن‬
Khalq Se Auliyah, Auliyah Se Rusul
Aur Rasoolon Se A’ala Hamara Nabi
The Awliya are superior to the general creation, and the Messengers are
superior to all the Awliya, and the greatest of all Messengers is our
beloved Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him.

Prophets Attained Prophethood by Having Imaan in Him:

Imam Qastalaani – may Allah be pleased with him – mentioned in the Tafseer of
this verse, that when Allah Almighty created the light of the Holy Prophet – may
Allah send peace and blessings upon him – and after honoring it with
Prophethood and perfections when he created the lights of other Prophets – peace
be upon them – then He commanded the light of Hazrat Mustafa – may Allah
send peace and blessings upon him – to appear before them and pay attention
towards them. When his light appeared before them it outshined their lights due
its intense brightness and they spoke up, “O our Lord! Who is this outshining
our lights and has surpassed us?” Allah Almighty replied:

‫ہٰ َذا ن ُْو ُر ُم َح َّم ٍد بْ ِن َع ْب ِد اہّٰللِ ا ِ ْن ٰا َم ْنت ُْم ب ِ ٖہ َج َع ْل ُتكُ ْم اَنْب ِ َیا َء قَالُ ْوا ٰا َم َّنا ب ِ ٖہ َو بِنُبُ َّوت ِٖہ َف َقا َل اہّٰللُ اَ ْش َھ ُد‬

َ ِ ‫َعل َْیكُ ْم قَالُ ْوا َن َع ْم ف ََذال‬

‫ک ق َْولُ ٗہ َت َعالٰی‬
“It is the light of Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdullah (may Allah send peace and
blessings upon him). If you believe in him I will make you all Prophets.”
They said, “We believe in him and in his Prophethood.”
Allah Almighty then stated, “I will be your witness.”
They said, “Yes, please.”

Hence, the following statement of Allah Almighty:

All the other books of Tafseer are unanimous in the view that the Noor refers to

Imam Abdur Razzaaq narrates from Ma’mar, from Ibn Al-Munkadir, from
Hazrat Jabir , He said, “I asked the Messenger of Allah about the first thing that
Allah Almighty created.” “It’s the light of your Prophet, O Jabir,” he – may
Allah send peace and blessings upon him – replied. After Allah Almighty created
it, He created every good and after that, He created every evil. He kept it in His
proximity for 12,000 years after He had created the light.

He then divided the light into four portions;

1. He created the Divine ‘Arsh from one portion

2. The Divine Throne from the second
3. The carriers (the angels) of the ‘Arsh and the treasurers of the Divine
Throne (Al-Kursi) from the third

He kept the fourth portion at the station of love for 12,000 years.

The then divided it into four portions:

He created the Divine pen from the first

The soul from the second

The paradise from the third

33
 www.musjidulhaq.com
He kept the fourth portion at the station of fear for 12,000 years

He then divided it into four portions:

1. He created the angels from the first

2. The sun from the second
3. The moon and the stars from the third

He kept the fourth portion at the station of hope for 12,000 years

He then divided it into four portions:

1. He created intellect from the first

2. Humility and knowledge from the second
3. Innocence and Taufeeq (Divine means from Allah’s Court to aid one on
virtues)

He kept the fourth portion at the station of chastity for 12,000 years

He then casted a glance at the light and it began to shed perspiration:

There were 124,000 drops of Noor
Allah Almighty created the soul of a Prophet or Messenger from each of those
drops

The souls of the Prophets and Messengers then breathed

Allah Almighty created the souls of Awliya from their breaths
And the souls of the blessed (personalities)
The martyrs
And of the obedient amongst the believers till the Day of Judgment.

So the Divine ‘Arsh and Kursi are from my light

The Karoobi and Roohani angels are from my light
The angels of the seven heavens are from my light

34
 www.musjidulhaq.com
Paradise and all its contents of bounties are from my light
The sun, the moon and the stars are from my light
Intellect, knowledge and Taufeeq are from my light
The souls of the Prophets and Messengers are from my light
The Martyrs, the blessed and the pious are the result of my light

Allah Almighty then created 12,000 veils and kept the fourth portion of the light
in each veil for a thousand year:
They are the stations of ‘Uboodiyyah (highest forms of Allah’s worship)
And the veils of nobility
Fortune
Vision
Mercy
Compassion
Forbearance
Knowledge
Dignity
Tranquility
Patience
Truth
Faith

Allah Almighty kept the light immersed in each veil for a thousand year. When
He took it out and descended it onto the earth, it illuminated the east and the
west like the sun lights up the dark night.

Allah Almighty then created Sayyiduna Adam – peace be upon him – from the
earth
And placed the light in his forehead
It then transferred to his son, Sayyiduna Sheeth – peace be upon him
And likewise it was transferred from one pure soul to the other

35
 www.musjidulhaq.com
Until it reached the back of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abdul Muttalib – may
Allah be pleased with them
And from him to the his wife, Sayyiduna Aminah – may Allah be pleased with
her
He then brought me into the world
And made me the leader of all the Prophets
And the seal of Prophethood
A Mercy unto the universe
Leader of those who possess light
This was the beginning of the creation of your Prophet, O Jabir.
(Al-Juz’ al-Mafqood min Musannaf ‘Abdur Razzaq, Mawahib al-Ladinniyah
with Zurqani’s commentary etc.)

َ ِ ‫َّو َداع ِ ًیا الِ َی اہّٰللِ بِاِذْن ِٖہ َو‬

﴾۴۶﴿ ‫ْسا ًجا ُّمنِي ْ ًرا‬
And an inviter towards Allah by His command and a brightening sun.
(Al-Ahzaab 33, Verse 45-46)
The word “Siraaj” although it has two meanings; “The sun” and “Lamp” but the
preferable meaning elected in this context is “The sun”. Allamah Saawi – may
Allah be pleased with him – writes in the marginal footnotes (Haashiya) of
Jalalain as follows:

‫ل َا َّن ال ُْم َرا َد ب ِ ٖہ‬ َّ ‫الِّسا ِج َا‬

َّ ‫لش ْم ُس َوھُ َو‬
ُ ِ‫الظاھِرُ َو َی ْح َتم‬ َ ِّ ِ ‫ل َا َّن ال ُْم َرا َد ب‬ َ ِ ‫ق َْولُ ٗہ َت َعالٰی َو‬
ُ ِ‫ْسا ًجا َی ْح َتم‬

‫اَ ْلمِ ْص َبا ُح‬

To interpret the objective of ‘Siraaj” in Allah’s statement as “The sun” is more
obvious while there is also a possibility of referring to it as “Lamp”.

The Moon of Taibah (The Blessed face of the Holy Prophet – may Allah send
peace and blessings upon him):

36
 www.musjidulhaq.com
Hazrat Sayyiduna Jaabir ibn Samurah – may Allah be pleased with him – narrates
as follows:
It was a full moon night and the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and
blessings upon him – was sleeping covering a red sheet. I used to look at his face
and then at the moon and then I had no control over the feeling of my heart that:

ِ ‫َفاِذَا ھُ َو َا ْح َس ُن ع ِ ْند ِْي ِم َن ا ْل َق َمر‬

To me, his face was more beautiful than the moon.

As if the moon lost its beauty compared to his Jamaal as witnessed by his
illustrious companions.

Hazrat Mulla Ali Qari – may Allah be pleased with him – writes as follows:
The light of his face was permanent and not derived from any other source
whereas, on the other hand, the light of the moon is borrowed from the sun,
therefore sometimes, it has light and sometimes it gets dim and there also
comes a time when it doesn’t have any light at all.
(Jam’ al-Wasaail ala al-Shamaail Vol. 1, p. 47)
There are many other Ahadeeth where the Sahaba have called his blessed his face
like the full moon.

We have a sun and so does the sky

Our sun outshines the sun of the sky

The sun of the sky rises after dawn

But my sun rises after Esha

He is the light of our homes:

Mulla Ali Qaari – may Allah be pleased with him – writes in the commentary
of Al-Shifa shareef that the reason we recite greetings upon entering an empty
house:

And Allah the Exalted taught the names of all things to Adam. Then
presenting all things before the Angels said, "Tell the names of these, if you are
truthful."
(Al-Baqarah 2, Verse 31)

But when it comes to His beloved Rasool Sayyiduna Mustafa – may Allah send
peace and blessings upon him, The Almighty states the following:

This World and the Hereafter exist only, through Your Grace and Mercy.
The Knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen are circles of a part of Your
Knowledge.

The points us towards the Hadith where Allah Almighty states that if I did not
create You (our beloved Prophet), I would not have created anything. The Pen
and the Tablet are parts of the vast knowledge of our beloved Prophet (May

Allah send peace and blessings upon him). This also is a Speciality of the Sacred
Prophet (May Allah send peace and blessings upon him).

How could any other mystery of the unseen remain concealed from you?
When the Almighty did not hide Himself from you? Billions of blessings be
upon you!

The Vast Knowledge of RasoolAllah:

Hadrat Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik Radi Allahu ‘Anhu narrates that once the Holy
Prophet May Allah send peace and blessings upon him was resting in the house
of Sayyidah Binte Milhaan Radi Allahu ‘Anha. He closed his eyes a while and
woke up smiling. Sayyidah Binte Milhaan Radi Allahu ‘Anha then asked, “O
Prophet of Allah May Allah send peace and blessings upon him! What is it that
made you smile?” He replied, “I saw a few of my Ummah on a ship travelling in
a sea of green in the path of Allah Almighty and their likeness is like that of a
King who sits on his throne.”

When Sayyidah Binte Milhaan Radi Allahu ‘Anha heard this, she asked, “O
Prophet of Allah May Allah send peace and blessings upon him, please make Du’a
that I am also among them.” He replied, “You are also among them.”

After saying this, the Prophet of Allah May Allah send peace and blessings upon
him again closed his blessed eyes. He woke up again and was smiling. Sayyidah
Binte Milhaan Radi Allahu ‘Anha again asked the Holy Prophet May Allah send
peace and blessings upon him the reason and he mentioned exactly the same

thing. She then asked him to make Du’a to Allah Almighty that she also be
among them. The Prophet of Allah May Allah send peace and blessings upon
him said, “You are among the first group and not among the second group.”

Later on, this same pious lady, Sayyidah Binte Milhaan Radi Allahu ‘Anha, also
travelled with the wife of Hadrat Sayyiduna Ameer Mu’awiyah Radi Allahu
‘Anhu, Binte Qarazah Radi Allahu ‘Anha, on a ship. While they were returning,
as she climbed on her animal, she fell and through this incident, she passed away.
(Abu Daud Shareef)

Sayyidah Binte Milhaan Radi Allahu ‘Anha was the maternal aunt of Hadrat
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik Radi Allahu ‘Anhu. Some ‘Ulama have also included
her as being among the foster mothers of the Holy Prophet May Allah send peace
and blessings upon him. Some have mentioned her as the aunt of some of these
foster mothers.

It is reported that during the reign of Hadrat Sayyiduna Ameer Mu’awiyah Radi
Allahu ‘Anhu, he undertook Jihad by ship to a place called Qubrus. His wife,
Binte Qarazah, was also on this journey. The wife of Hadrat Sayyiduna Abaadah
bin Saamit Radi Allahu ‘Anhu, Sayyidah Binte Milhaan Radi Allahu ‘Anha, was
also on this journey as foretold many years earlier by the Holy Prophet May
Allah send peace and blessings upon him. As they were returning to Syria, she
fell off her animal and passed away. There is no doubt that she passed away as a
Martyr. As a matter of fact, Hadrat Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir Radi Allahu
‘Anhu narrates that, “Whosoever passes away in the Path of Allah Almighty and
fell off his animal, that person is a Martyr.”
(Umdatul Qari)

It proves the Knowledge of the Unseen of the Holy Prophet May Allah send peace
and blessings upon him. Many years before hand, the Holy Prophet May Allah

43
 www.musjidulhaq.com
send peace and blessings upon him predicted that Sayyidah Binte Milhaan Radi
Allahu ‘Anha would be in the first group and not in the second group. That
means, he also predicted when she would pass away.

There are people who say that the Holy Prophet May Allah send peace and
blessings upon him did not possess the Knowledge of the Unseen. What answers
would they give about this Hadith Shareef?

The Holy Prophet May Allah send peace and blessings upon him also predicted
that this journey would be undertaken on a ship which is another prediction
which was unheard of at that time because no Arabs had ever undertaken a
journey on a ship to engage in a battle.
