True Faith in the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
-
I gathered all the verses from the Holy Qur'an to formulate the true faith of the Believers according to the Holy Qur'an
Obey Allah (swt) AND obey the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)
"If anyone disobeys Allah AND His Messenger he is indeed on a clearly wrong path."
"He that obeys Allah AND His Messenger has already attained the great victory."
These are Allah's limits, and whoever obeys Allah AND His Apostle, He will cause him to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them; and this is the great achievement.
And whoever disobeys Allah AND His Apostle and goes beyond His limits, He will cause him to enter fire to abide in it, and he shall have an abasing chastisement" (Holy Qur'an 413-14)"And whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, leave it. And fear Allah truly Allah is severe in punishment. "
"Say (to them O beloved Muhammad) If you (men) really do love Allah then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
"O you who believe! Obey Allah AND obey the Messenger AND those charged with authority among you; and if you differ in anything among yourselves, then refer it to Allah AND the Messenger if you do believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is best and most suitable for final determination." (Surah Al-Nisa' 459)
Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and beware (of evil) if ye do turn back, know ye that it is Our Messenger's duty to proclaim (the message) in the clearest manner.
The Messenger's duty is but to proclaim (the message). But Allah knoweth all that ye reveal and ye conceal.
Say "Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger but if ye turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him and ye for that placed on you. If ye obey him, ye shall be on right guidance. The Messenger's duty is only to preach the clear (Message).
And whoso obeys Allah AND this Messenger shall be among those on whom Allah has bestowed His blessings - the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs, and the Righteous. And an excellent company are they.
"Whosoever obeys the Messenger, he has obeyed Allah; and he who turns away - We have not sent thee as a warder over them."
The absolute authority given to him
"But no, by the Lord, they can have no (real) Faith, until they make thee (O Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them, and find in their souls no resistance against Thy decisions, but accept them with the fullest conviction."
"While we were sitting with the Prophet a man came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have been ruined." Allah's Apostle asked what was the matter with him. He replied "I had sexual intercourse with my wife while I was fasting." Allah's Apostle asked him, "Can you afford to free a slave?" He replied in the negative. Allah's Apostle asked him, "Can you fast for two successive months?" He replied in the negative. The Prophet asked him, "Can you afford to feed sixty poor persons?" He replied in the negative. The Prophet kept silent and while we were in that state, a big basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet . He asked, "Where is the questioner?" He replied, "I (am here)." The Prophet said (to him), "Take this (basket of dates) and distribute them as charity to the poor." The man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Should I give it to a person poorer than I? By Allah; there is no family between its (i.e. Medina's) two mountains who are poorer than I." The Prophet smiled till his premolar teeth became visible and then said, "Then go and feed your family with it."(as a compensation for breaking your fast!)" (Bukhari and Muslim, narrated by Abu Huraira)
Love that Allah (swt) has for him
Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet (Muhammad) O ye that believe! send ye blessings on him and salute him with all respect. Those who annoy Allah AND his Apostle Allah has cursed them in this world and in the Hereafter and has prepared for them a humiliating Punishment.
Verily soon your Lord will stand you (O beloved Muhammad) at a place where ALL will praise you (Maqam-e-Mahmood).
And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased.
We see the turning of thy face (for guidance) to the heavens; now shall We turn thee to a Qiblah that shall please thee.
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? And removed from thee thy burden, The which did gall thy back? And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
Hadhrat Aisha (R.A.) said "O Holy Prophet! I swear by Allah! I observe that He fulfils your every desire very quickly" (Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)
Love for him is the essense of true faith
"Say 'If your fathers or your sons or your brothers or your wives or your tribe, or any wealth you have acquired, or any business you fear may slump, or any dwelling-places which please you, are dearer to you than Allah AND His Messenger and fighting hard in jihad in His Way, then wait until Allah brings about His command.'"
"But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission."
Narrated 'Abd Allah bin Hisham 'We were with the Prophet (SAAW) and he was holding the hand of 'Umar ibnu Al-Khattab (RAA). 'Umar said to him, "O Allah's Messenger (SAAW)! You are dearer to me than everything except my ownself." Allah's Messenger (SAAW) said "No, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, (you will not have complete Faith) untill I am dearer to you than your ownself." Then 'Umar (RAA) said "However, now, by Allah, you are dearer to me than my ownself." He (SAAW) then said "Now, O 'Umar, (now you are a believer)."
Love that he has for the Believers
Now hath come unto you a Messenger from amongst yourselves it grieves him that ye should perish ardently anxious is he over you to the Believers is he most kind and merciful. (912
"The Prophet is closer to the Believers than their own selves".
He is the Mercy to all the Universe
Verily in the (Qur'an) is a Message for people who would (truly) worship Allah. (O beloved prophet!) We sent you not but as a mercy and blessing for the entire universe (al-Alameen). Say "What has come to me by inspiration is that your Allah is One Allah will ye therefore bow to His Will (in Islam)?"
The Holy Prophet said, "I have been sent as a prophet for all of Allah's creation," (Muslim)
A villager came to the Holy Prophet and said, "what proof can you give me that you are a true prophet?" The Holy Prophet replied, "If I call that bunch of dates from that date-palm tree, it will come to me and testify that I am Allah's (true) prophet." The holy Prophet then called it. That bunch of dates began to come down the palm tree and fell at the Holy Prophet's feet. Then the Holy Prophet commanded it to return to its place. The bunch of dates then returned to its original place on the palm tree. (Having seen the miracle, the villager accepted Islam). (Tirmizi)
Hazrat Ali (R.A.) says that I once accompanied the Holy Prophet on a journey outside Makkah. Every tree and stone that we passed said aloud, "Assalaamu aliaka ya Rasoolallah!" (blessings and salutations upon you O Holy Prophet!) (Tirmizi)
He is the best example to mankind
You have, indeed, in the Messenger of Allah an excellent exemplar, for whoever hopes for Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much.
He is the first of Creation
No partner hath He this am I commanded, and I am the first of those who bow to His will.
Hazrat Qatada (May Allah be pleased with him) narrates in an Hadith
"The Holy prophet (peace be upon him) said 'I am the first created from the prophets in terms of the process of creation; whilst in terms of appearance of prophethood I am the last'."Imaam Ahmed, Tibrani, Haakim and Baihaqi (On them be peace) have reported this Hadith
Hazrat maisarah (May Allah be pleased with him) asked Since when were you a Prophet? He replied "When Adam (On him be peace) was still passing through the stage of being between the soul and the body" i.e. I was already a Prophet before Hazrat Adam (On him be peace) was even created. This Hadith has been recorded by Imam Bikhari (May Allah bepleased with him ) in his book At-Tarikh.It is narrated in an Hadith
"Hazrat Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) saidOh Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you! Inform me about the first thing created by Allah Almighty? The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied ?Before everything else Allah Almighty created the Light (Noor) of your continued to travel with the power of Allah Almighty wherever it had desired to be. At that point in time there was no Divine Tablet, nor the Pef of Destiny, no Paradise nor hell, nor angels, nor the sky or the earth, nor sun nor the moon, nor jinns nor humans?."Jabir ibn `Abd Allah said to the Prophet "O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, tell me of the first thing Allah created before all things." He said "O Jabir, the first thing Allah created was the light of your Prophet from His light, and that light remained (lit. "turned") in the midst of His Power for as long as He wished, and there was not, at that time, a Tablet or a Pen or a Paradise or a Fire or an angel or a heaven or an earth. And when Allah wished to create creation, he divided that Light into four parts and from the first made the Pen, from the second the Tablet, from the third the Throne, (and from the fourth everything else)."
Imaam Abdur Rahman Al-Jauzi, a very famous and authentic Imaam of the sixth century (A.H) narrates the following Hadith from Hazrat Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) in his book
"The Holy Prophet (Peace be Upon Him) says when Hazrat adam (On him be Peace) erred by eating from the prohibited tree, he pleaded to Allah Almighty through the medium of the Holy Prophet (Peace be Upon Him) to pardon him. In reply Allah Almighty asked? Oh Adam! Who is Muhammed (Peace be Upon Him) ? How do you know about him? ? The reply of Adam (On him be Peace) was. ?Oh Allah! After you had created me and I raised my head for the first time and gazed upon the Holy Throne I saw the name of Muhammad joined with Your blessed name. From this I understood that Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) is the most auspicious and blessed creation to You, so much so, that You have joined his blessed name with Yours upon the Throne. Allah Almighty approvingly said. You have spoken the truth. He is the final Prophet from your entire progeny. If it was not for him I would not have created you".His Knowledge of Unseen
With Him are the keys of the Unseen the treasures that none knoweth but He. He knoweth whatever there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf doth fall but with His knowledge there is not a grain in the darkness (or depths) of the earth nor anything fresh or dry (green or withered) but is (inscribed) in a Book, Clear (to those who can read!).
"He discloses not His unseen (ghayb) to anyone, except only to such a Messenger as He is well-pleased with." (Holy Qur'an 7226)
Narrated Abu Huraira We were in the company of Allah's Apostle in a Ghazwa, and he remarked about a man who claimed to be a Muslim, saying, "This (man) is from the people of the (Hell) Fire." When the battle started, the man fought violently till he got wounded. Somebody said, "O Allah's Apostle! The man whom you described as being from the people of the (Hell) Fire fought violently today and died." The Prophet said, "He will go to the (Hell) Fire." Some people were on the point of doubting (the truth of what the Prophet had said) while they were in this state, suddenly someone said that he was still alive but severely wounded. When night fell, he lost patience and committed suicide. The Prophet was informed of that, and he said, "Allah is Greater! I testify that I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle." Then he ordered Bilal to announce amongst the people 'None will enter Paradise but a Muslim, and Allah may support this religion (i.e. Islam) even with a disobedient man.' (Bukhari)
Hazrat Umar (r.a.) relates "The Holy Prophet stood before us one day and told us about everything that had happened from the beginning of creation and everything that was going to occur right up to the time when the inhabitants of Paradise and the inhabitants of Hell would occupy thri respective places in these two abodes. He who remembered these facts remembered them and he who forgot them forgot them." (Bukhari)
"Hazrat Huzaifa relates "...these friends of mine (the sahaba) know this. Whenever any of those events occur which I had forgotten, then on seeing it taking place, I immediately remember it in the same way as a person recognises someone immeditely, whom he has not seen for a long time." (Bukhari, Muslim)
"We were in the company of Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) when he smiled and said Do you know why I laughed? We said Allah and His Apostle (peace be upon him) know best. Thereupon he said It was because of the (fact that there came to my mind the) conversation which the servant will have with his Lord (on the Day of Judgment). He will say My Lord, have you not guaranteed me protection against injustice? He will say Yes. Then the servant will say I do not deem valid any witness against me but my own self. He will say Well, it is sufficient to have the witness of your self against you, and that of the two angels who were appointed to record your deeds. Then the seal will be set upon his mouth and his hands and feet will be asked to speak and they will speak of his deeds. Then the mouth will be set free to talk. He will say (to the hands and feet) Away with you! May the curse of Allah be upon you. It was for your safety (from hell) that I contended." (Sahih Muslim)
Says nothing out of his own desire
but everything he says is inspiration sent to him from Allah (swt)Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire. It is no less than inspiration sent down to him He was taught by one Mighty in Power,
He follows nothing but the inspirations of Allah (swt)
Follow what thou art taught by inspiration from thy Lord there is no god but He and turn aside from those who join gods with Allah.
But follow that which comes to thee by inspiration from thy Lord for Allah is well acquainted with (all) that ye do.
Allah (swt) takes an oath that prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is indeed a Messenger and on a straight path
Ya Sin. By the Qur'an, full of Wisdom,- Thou art indeed one of the messengers, On a Straight Way.
He is the Seal of Prophethood
"O people! Muhammad has no sons among ye men, but verily, He is the Apostle of God and the Last in the line of Prophets. And God is Aware of everything." (Surah Al Ahzab 33.40)
Those who deviate and split the religion up are not part of us
And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah's favour on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus doth Allah make His Signs clear to you That ye may be guided.
"Verily those who split up their religion and became sects, you have absolutely nothing to do with them."
Those who reject faith, there is no use in discoursing with them, since they will not believe
As to those who reject Faith it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe.
Verily Allah has cursed the Unbelievers and prepared for them a Blazing Fire,- To dwell therein for ever no protector will they find, nor helper. The Day that their faces will be turned upside down in the Fire, they will say "Woe to us! Would that we had obeyed Allah AND obeyed the Messenger!" And they would say "Our Lord! We obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they misled us as to the (right) Path. "Our Lord! Give them double Penalty and curse them with a very great Curse!"
Blasphemous individuals against Allah AND the prophet should be KILLED
The punishment of those who wage war against Allah AND His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;
"Those who blasphemed and back away from the ways of Allah and die as blasphemers, Allah shall not forgive them."
"Those who believe, then disbelieve, then believe again, then disbelieve, and then increase in their disbelief - Allah will never forgive them nor guide them to the path."
Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that since you do not BELIEVE in the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) WHOLEHEARTEDLY (by rejecting half of his life and believing in only the "messenger" part of his life), you people are DISBELIEVERS. I hope that is a straight forward answer to you.
Peace
