Allah and His angels send blessings on

In the current age, the
Promised Messiah (on whom be

more than any other and
explained it to us. He said that
the Holy Prophet’s (pbuh)
truthfulness and sincerity was
such that he experienced all
manner of evil but did not care

That light of high degree that was bestowed on
perfect man was not in angels, was not in stars,
was not in the moon, was not in the sun, was
not in the oceans and the rivers, was not in
rubies, emeralds, sapphires, or pearls; in short, it
was not in any earthly or heavenly object. It
was only in perfect man whose highest and
loftiest and most perfect example was our lord
and master, the Chief of the Prophets, the Chief
of all living ones, Muhammad, the chosen one
[pbuh]. That light was bestowed on this man
and, according to their ranks, upon all those
who bore the same colour to some degree....

perfect form in our lord and master and our
guide, the immaculate Prophet, the righteous
one, testified to by the righteous, Muhammad,

The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) wrote
‘I always wonder how high
was the status of this Arabian
Prophet, whose name was
Muhammad, (thousands of
blessings and peace be upon
him). One cannot reach the
limit of his high status and it is
not given to man to estimate
correctly his spiritual
effectiveness. It is a pity that
his rank has not been
recognized, as it should have
been
He was the champion
who restored to the
world the Unity of
God which had
disappeared from the
world; he loved God
in the extreme and his
soul melted out of
sympathy for
mankind. Therefore,
God, Who knew the
secret of his heart,
exalted him above all
the Prophets and all
the first ones and the
last ones and
bestowed upon him in
his lifetime all that he
desired

superiority without acknowledging his
grace is not a man but is the spawn of
Satan, because the Holy Prophet has
been bestowed the key to every
exaltation and he has been given the
treasury of every understanding. He
who does not receive through him is
deprived forever. I am nothing and
possess nothing. I would be most
ungrateful if I were not to confess that
I have learnt of the true Unity of God
through this Prophet. The recognition
of the Living God we have achieved
through this perfect Prophet and
through his light.

(Namoos e Risalat)

Hudhur said currently a hotly debated topic in the press and the electronic media is that of the blasphemy law of Pakistan. [Referred to in Urdu as ‘Namoos e Risalat’, i.e. law upholding the honour of the Prophet]. A true Muslim, whose belief extends from Hadhrat Adam (on whom be peace) to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) is anxious at offence directed at any of the Prophets and is certainly very concerned as regards the Seal of all the Prophets (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). A true Muslim can lay his/her life down, can see his/her children murdered and his/her property looted but cannot listen to disrespect towards his/her master, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). Today, due to certain situations, the blasphemy law of Pakistan is at a critical juncture and Western leaders as well as the Pope are making demands regarding it.
Rather, he wished to say that anyone who made the slightest of effort against the honour and respect of his master, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) would come under the chastisement of the Quranic verse: ‘We will, surely, suffice thee against those who mock:’ (15:96). God Himself is protecting the honour of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and is enhancing his status every minute and thus states in the Qur’an: ‘Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet…’ (33:57).

God Himself is protecting the honour of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and is enhancing his status every minute and thus states in the Qur’an: ‘Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet…’ (33:57).

He said that the Holy Prophet’s (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) truthfulness and sincerity was such that he experienced all manner of evil but did not care and God thus stated: ‘Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet. O ye who believe! you also should invoke blessings on him and salute him with the salutation of peace.’ No verse of this magnitude has been used for any other Prophet. God willed us to send salutations on him as a mark of thankfulness. In his blessed model, the Prophet’s (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) truthfulness and sincerity was for God. Therefore, if we wish to be included among those who are true believers of the Ummah, then we should obey all of God’s commandments with truthfulness and sincerity and invoke salutations and blessings (Durud) on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) with profusion.
While invoking Durud we should have his favours on us in view; he informed us of a religion that takes one to God, he taught us morals which God likes, he established a model for us by being a perfect servant of God, he honoured the dues of God’s worship and demonstrated an excellent model of fear of God as well as a supreme example of praise and glorification of God
The Qur’an gives many commandments, among them are: to adhere to truth under all circumstances, to fulfil promises, to pay the dues of kinship, to have compassion for creation of God, to be steadfast, to forgive, to be humble and to have trust in God in every situation. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was a supremely excellent model of all these attributes. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was a supremely excellent model of all these attributes, then alone can he/she express his/her truthfulness and sincerity to him and then alone will it be a Durud emanating out of thankfulness. This is upholding the honour of the Prophet (Namoos e Risalat), that to silence the outsiders one tries to follow his blessed model rather than disgrace Islam for ulterior motives and give our detractors chance to be disrespectful towards our beloved master (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).
If our detractors get a chance to say negative things about the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) due to our weaknesses, then we are answerable to God for this. Love for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) is not to be expressed through empty slogans. God wants practice. This is a serious cause for concern for Muslims.
If the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) had not elucidated the true status of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) to us, the extent of our reverence for him would also have been limited to holding apparent rallies. He understood the lofty station of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and then explained it to us.
He wrote: ‘That light of high degree that was bestowed on perfect man was not in angels, was not in stars, was not in the moon, was not in the sun, was not in the oceans and the rivers, was not in rubies, emeralds, sapphires, or pearls; in short, it was not in any earthly or heavenly object.

(Essence of Islam, Vol. I)
Hudhur said impartial opinion would clearly perceive that no one recognised the station of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) as the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) did. He alone had the valour to raise effective voice in response to attacks against the person of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). In his day a priest published a most offensive book about the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and sent free copies to Muslim religious leaders. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) also received a copy. He had a poster published addressing the government that although the law of the land allowed such publication but Muslims believed in all the Prophets. He suggested that a law should be introduced whereby people of each religion would only mention the good aspects of their faith and did not offend others. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) was passionate about safeguarding the station of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and indeed defended it at every opportunity. He said that our effort should be to present the flawless face of Islam to the world and in response to false allegations against it, to demonstrate to the world its pure and luminous picture.
Hudhur said true support of Islam is in eradicating very objection raised against it so that those who have spread the falsehood become weary. What is needed is practical effort borne out of compassion for Islam and this needs to be a constant endeavour to dismiss all allegations, bolstered by practice befitting true believers.
The Promised Messiah’s (on whom be peace) sentiments regarding upholding the honour of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) were such that he wrote that he would rather befriend poisonous snakes than those who make impure accusations against his master. He also wrote that nothing hurt him more than derision and mockery aimed at the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). He said that even if all his progeny and its progeny, his friends and associates all were murdered and his hands were cut off and the pupils of his eyes were gouged out and he lost all his amenities, the grief of attacks against the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) would be weightier for him than these woes.
Hudhur said there are some anti-Islam Christian priests around today as well. Recently an American priest had wanted to burn copies of the Qur’an. He wished to come to the UK. However, the British government has banned him from entering the country. Hudhur said this was an extremely commendable step by the British government, may God enable them to fulfil dues of justice in the future as well.
Hudhur related a few incidents from the life of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) to further illustrate his sense of honour for the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih II (may Allah be pleased with him) also made all efforts of refutation when someone wrote an offensive book about the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) but advised that while sense of honour for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) should be demonstrated, it should also be demonstrated that a Muslim restrains himself. 25 years ago when Salman Rushdie wrote his infamous book, Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih IV (may Allah have mercy on him) responded to it through his own publication. In 2005 when the Danish caricatures were published Hudhur and our mission in Denmark also responded and took appropriate actions. When attacks were made on the Holy Qur’an in Holland by a member of parliament, responses were issued. Hudhur said it the dignity of a true Muslim to respond to such matters with a sense of honour but while remaining within the law.
Hudhur said if the blessed model of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was followed by the Muslims, the enemy would have been automatically silenced and those with ulterior motives would have been brought to justice. If the Muslims wish to express their endorsement for the honour of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) they should search for taqwa as taught by the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).
Laws address apparent evil they do not address what is in hearts. True happiness for a Muslim will come about only when love of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) will be established in the world. It is the obligation of an Ahmadi in any case, for which we should make our best efforts, but if other Muslims also demonstrate models of forgiveness that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) displayed rather than show harshness, this indeed would be service to Islam.
Today, this blessed model is needed as it is needed to take his message to the world and not simply make outward laws. May God enable us and the other Muslims to do this.
