Mu` meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah`s Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

You call yourself a slave of Allah. I thought you said that RASULULLAH SALLEH ALLAH were the only slave of God, and that this was also written in the Quran. How come you are going against your own words

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Only Prophet Mohamed (saws) is slave

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His  forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Beloved brother, we have never ever claimed that the Prophet Mohamed (saws) was the ONLY slave of Allah! All of the creation of Allah are His slaves.

We quote from what we have written in one of our previous answers:

Allah Subhanah is the Absolute Owner and Master of everything that is in existence! He Created everything, thus all of His created beings are in effect His slaves! The Angels are His slaves, the Jinns are His slaves, and all of mankind are His slaves! And that includes every human being, from the first man to be sent on this earth to the last… each and every human being is the slave of Allah Subhanah!

Brother, to the best of our knowledge we have never said that the Messenger of Allah (saws) was the ONLY slave of Allah! We humbly request you to provide us with proof of where we have made such a statement.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
