The Status of the Prophet (pboh) in the Universe

Maulana Dr. Waffie Mohammed

Allah says that Prophet Muhammad (pboh) is a favour to the believers. He says in Surah Imran;

Allah did confer a great favour on the believers when He sent among them an Apostle from among themselves’. (3:164)

Allah has never described the other Messengers in this manner. Allah was so favourable to the Israelites’ that He sent a host of Messengers to them with great signs and miracles’ and yet He never referred to Jesus, for example, as a favour.

Allah says that Prophet Muhammad (pboh) was, is and will always be a favour for the entire universe up to, and even after the Day of Judgement. He will be the first Intercessor on that Day; and he will even look for us to take us with him in the Garden of Paradise. 

It is because Prophet (pboh) is such a special creature in the universe and the beloved of Allah that this book looks at the reasons why Allah has blessed us to be in his companionship.
