The Prophets And Messengers Of Allah Ta’ala

“Messenger” or “Rasool” means he who brings the Message from Allah Ta’ala to the servants. A “Prophet” is he who received the “Wahi” (Revelation, a Message from Allah Ta’ala) for the guidance of mankind to show people the path to Allah Ta’ala. Many Prophets and many Angels are Messengers (Rasools).

All Prophets were male. There has never been a Jinn as a Prophet nor a female Prophet.

A Prophet becomes a Prophet whom Allah Ta’ala wishes to be or whom Allah Ta’ala deems fit, and a Prophet is born as a Prophet. A Prophet always stays away from sin even before becoming a Prophet. He is always attracted to good. There is never an aspect of a Prophet that people would hate. Those who believe that they can become a Prophet due to their effort are Kaafirs (non-believers), and those who believe that a Prophet’s prophecy can be taken away from him are also a Kaafir.

The Wisdom Behind The Multiple Wives Of The Prophet

[Al-Ubbi said:] Al-Shafi„ I said: “Allah (Glorified is He) singled out the Messenger of Allah by obligating on him things which He alleviated from other than him, to increase his (Allah bless him and grant him peace) sanctity, and He permitted for him things which He made unlawful for other than him, to increase his honor and his exaltation.”

From this category is [the permission of] having more than four [wives]. This was permitted [for him] so that he ascends in the hearts of the Arabs in esteem and glory because they would boast over sexual prowess.

Furthermore, in terms of perfect power and moderate constitution, he was at the level of perfection attested to by the reports. Whoever was such, the precursors to this door [of perfection] would be dominant over him.

Islam Is Mercy for the Entire Universe, Even Animals

Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: I performed with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) two Rak’ah before and two after Zuhr prayers.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. 199/1113 – Riyad Us-Saliheen (Gardens of the Righteous)

Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) used to perform two Rak’ah short prayer between the Adhan (call to prayer) and the Iqamah of the dawn (Fajr) prayers.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
In another narration, Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to perform two supererogatory Rak’ah prayers of Fajr and make them so short that I used to think whether he (PBUH) had recited Surat Al-Fatihah (in it) or not. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

In the narration of Muslim, Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: When the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to hear the Adhan (of Fajr prayer), he would perform two supererogatory Rak’ah prayers and would make them short.

Commentary:
“Takhfif” here means that the Prophet (PBUH) used to shorten the standing, recitation, bowing, prostration, etc., in the two Rak’ah of Fajr prayer because soon after performing them, he had to lead the Fajr prayer in which he would prolong his recitation. He would also offer these two Sunnah soon after daybreak or Adhan, which gives an idea of the preparation he made for them. 197/1104 – Riyad Us-Saliheen (Gardens of the Righteous)

Islam is Mercy for the Entire Universe, Even Animals

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Islam teaches us to be merciful to the entire creation, to Muslims and non-Muslims, to friends and enemies, even to the animals. Allah said: We have not sent you except as a mercy to the worlds. Surah Al-Anbiya 21:107

And Allah said: Then be among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to mercy. Surah Al-Balad 90:17
