Honoring the Prophet (pboh)
Maulana Dr. Waffie Mohammed
Allah gave the Prophet (pboh) a unique position in creation. His soul was the first thing that Allah created. The Messengers before him were to recognise his greatness and perfection and to inform their followers of his coming.
Prophet Muhammad (pboh) connects with the true believers in a way that the ordinary person cannot understand. Jabir bin Abdullah narrated that the Prophet (pboh) is reported to have said: He who saw me in a dream, in fact saw me, for Satan cannot assume my form. (Muslim 1059)
Prophet Muhammad (pboh) is the only one in creation, in the universe, that is constantly receiving from Allah, from the angels and human beings constant blessings, as Allah and His angels are sending Salaat on him and mankind is also enjoined upon to do so.
