CHAPTER FOUR CALLING THE PROPHET (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم)
A "MAN" OR "BROTHER"
INTRODUCTION THE DEFINITION OF “NABI” AND HIS RESPECTIVE POSITION. Belief - A Nabi (Prophet) is that male and human whom Allah عزوجل has sent to propagate the commands of the Shariah. - Sharah Aqaaid Therefore, a Nabi cannot be non-human or a woman. The Holy Quran states. "We did not send before you but those men whom we made revelation (wahi) to"3·91-Surah Yusuf Verse 109. This proves that Jin, angels. Women, etc. cannot be Nabis. Belief- A Nabi always hails from a distinguished family and genealogy. They are also given exceptional mannerism (akhlaaq) and are saved from both disreputable actions and a contemptible family background. - Bahare-Shariat When the order from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم concerning accepting Islam and remaining safe reached Hiraql, the king of the Roman empire. He called Hadrat Abu Sufyaan رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ and asked a few questions regarding the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. First, he enquired "According to you how is his family and genealogy ?"Abu Sufyaan answered, "He hails from a prestigious genealogical and family background amongst us [i.e. be is a Haashmi and Muttalabi]." In response to this, Hiraql said, "Prophets (Nabis) are always sent from illustrious families .4.1 Bukhari, Vol. 1. This proves that the Prophets emanate from noted family backgrounds. Note - Some individuals say. "A prophet came in every nation, so they must have been born from within loathed nations, e.g. Chamaars, Hindus, etc. Hence. Krishna, Buddha, etc. and should not be spoken bad of because they were prophets." (Allah عزوجل Forbid!) They use the following ayat as proof, ''There is a guide (Haadi) in every nation." - Surah Raad, Verse 7. These uninformed people also say. "Women were also Prophets because revelation (wahi) was made to the mother of Hadrat Musa علیہ السلام and Sayyidah Maryam رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا and anyone to whom wahi is made to is a Nabi. و اوحینا الی ام موسی .Thus, this and the other verses prove that these women are Prophets." Both of these deductions are wrong. Regarding the first claim (that Prophets heralded from evil nations), the complete ayat was not given and the translation made of it was incorrect. The complete verse is as follows, "You are a forewamer and the Haadi of all nations" 403 In other words, being the Haadi (guide) of all nations is the quality of RasoolAllah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Other Prophets were Prophets for specific nations, but our beloved Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم is the Nabi of all. However, even if the ayat is accepted to mean that there was a guide (Haadi) in every nation, where does it state that the Haadi was himself from amongst the nation he guided? It is possible that the Nabi hailed from a reputed people while the rest fell under the former's command. Rasoolullah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم himself is a Quraishi (one from the Quraish tribe) but is the Nabi of the pathans, Shaikhs, Arabs, Non Arabs rather, of all creation. Also, the word 'Haadi' is absolute and general. Meaning it can also refer to Prophets and non-Prophets. Thus, it can also mean that in every nation, some people were the guides of others. The existence of Mahadeo, Krishna. Buddha etc. has no Shariah proof (i.e. the Quran and Hadith have not given information about them). Awareness about them has been attained from idol-worshippers, and that too with some of them having four hands, some with six legs, an elephant's head for a human one, a monkey's tail at the rear, etc. They have contorted their names and distorted their appearances. Allah عزوجل said to the idol-worshippers amongst the Arabs, "These are names contorted by you and your fathers:,4 - Surah Najm Verse 23 When there is no certainty of their existence, to accept them to be Prophets is definitely stupidity. The second deduction (the women who received revelation are Prophets) is wrong because ilhaam (inspiration) was made to the heart of Hadrat Musa's علیہ السلام mother. This was interpreted by the word' Auhainaa' as warn also means ilhaam (inspiration). The Holy Quran states, "Your Lord inspired to the heart of the honey bee:,403b Here, wahi means to inspire to the heart. Neither was Revelation to Propagate (warn-e-tablighi) made to Hadrat Maryam رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا nor was she sent to proclaim and promulgate Divine Commands. Also, not every utterance of the angels is wahi and not every wahi is for purposes of propagation. Some Sahaaba heard the speech of angels. At the time of death, in the grave, in the Hereafter all people will be able to speak to angels. But not all are prophets. For a complete discussion regarding this, refer to my book Shaan-e-Hebibur-Rahman. Belief - No one can attain Prophetbood through one's worship or deeds because Propbethood (nabuwwah) is Divinely bestowed. اللہ اعلم حیث یجعل رسالتہ- Surah Anam, Verse 124A non-Prophet, whether he is a Ghauth, Qutb or from the Abdaal, cannot equal or exceed any Nabi in distinction. These points should be kept in mind. TO CALL THE HOLY PROPHET صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم "A MAN" OR "BROTHER", ETC. IS HARAM A Nabi is a human and comes in human form. He is not a Jinn or Angel. This is in relation to the world. Bashariyat (humanity) commenced from Hadrat Adam علیہ السلام because he is known as Abul-Bashr (The Father of Humanity). However, our Rasoolullah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was already a Prophet before Hadrat Adam علیہ السلام was between sand and water (i.e. while he was being created). Rasoolullah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم himself states, “کنت نبیا و ادم بین الماء و الطین”.At that time, he was a Nabi but not a human. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم being a man and human is definitely true, but to call him a man or human or address him by saying. "Ya Muhammad," "0 Father of Ibraheem علیہ السلام"O Brother," etc. or remember him by expressions and words of equality is Haraam. If these words Were not used with the intention of insult, then it is infidelity (kufr). Alamghiri and other books of Fiqh state that the person who calls or addresses the Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم by saying "This man" while intending offense is a Kaafir. The Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم should be called by saying, ''Ya Rasoolaltah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم," "Ya Habeebullah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم," and other expressions of respect and dignity. The ''Ya Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used by poets in their stanzas is in relation to the literal meaning of it (e.g. Ya Mustapha صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, Ya Mujtaba صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم), not to his personal name. The Holy Quran states. "Do not make the calling of the Rasool صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as how you address each other."4.4 - Surah Noor, Verse 63. “Do not raise your voices and speak before the Rasool صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as how you do amongst yourselves, lest your deeds be destroyed and you won't even be aware of it." 4 4 _ Surah Hujaraat, Verse 2. Deeds being destroyed occurs due to infidelity (kufr). Shaikh Abdul·Haqq Muhaddith Dehlwi رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ writes, "The Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم should not be called or addressed by his name like how some people call each other. Rather, "Ya Rasoolallah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم Ya NabiAllah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم should be said with respect and reverence." Modoortjun-Nubuwwoh, Vol. I
