Answer:
PM is slave servant of Allah
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 none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Your Question: Do
you all think that we should say (Park MUHAMMED S.A.W ) as a Slave - Servant.
Allah Subhanah is the Absolute Creator, Owner and
Master of everything that is in existence!
He Created everything, thus all of His created beings are in effect His
slaves! All the Angels are His slaves,
all 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!
Allah says in the Glorious Quran Chapter 4 Surah
Nisaa verse 172:
Christ disdaineth not to be a
slave-servant of Allah, nor do the Angels those nearest (to
Allah): those who disdain His worship
(or slavery) and are arrogant, He will
gather them all together unto Himself to (answer).
The Arabic term for slave is ‘Abd’…. And there are several
places in the Holy Quran where Allah Subhanah has honored and called not only
Prophet Mohamed (saws) as His slave; but
has also honored almost all the Prophets of Allah by calling them His
slaves! To be called a slave of the
Merciful is indeed an honor and none of the creation of Allah who sincerely
believe in Him, ever disdain being called as His slaves. Those among mankind and jinns, who disdain
to be called the slaves of the Merciful and are arrogant; Allah has warned that
they will have a severe accounting in His Court on an Inevitable Day!
Indeed, the noble Prophet Mohamed (saws) is both, a
slave-servant of Allah, as well as the Last and Final Messenger of Allah
(saws)!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verse 23:
And if ye are in doubt as to what We have
revealed from time to time to Our slave-servant (Prophet
Mohamed (saws)) then produce a Surah
like thereunto; and call your witnesses
or helpers (if there are any) besides Allah if your (doubts) are true.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 8 Surah
Anfaal verse 41:
And know that out of all the booty that ye may
acquire (in war) a fifth share is assigned to Allah and to the apostle and to
near relatives orphans the needy and the wayfarer if ye do believe in Allah and
in the revelation We sent down to Our slave-servant
(Prophet Mohamed (saws)) on the day of testing,
the day of the meeting of the two forces. For Allah hath power over all things.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 18 Surah
Kahf verse 1:
Praise be to Allah Who hath sent to His
slave-servant (Prophet Mohamed (saws)) the Book and hath allowed
therein no Crookedness.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah
Bani Israel verse 1:
Glory to (Allah) Who did take His
slave-servant (Prophet Mohamed (saws)) for Journey by night from
the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque whose precincts We did Bless in order that We might show him some of Our
Signs: for He is the one Who heareth and seeth (all things).
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 25 Surah
Furqaan verse 1:
Blessed is He Who sent down the Criterion to His
slave-servant (Prophet Mohamed (saws)) that it may be an admonition
to all creatures.
Not only has Allah honored and called Prophet Mohamed
(saws) His slave-servant; the Merciful
has called almost all the Prophets His slaves in His Glorious Quran.
For Jesus Christ (a.s.):
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 19
Surah Maryam vrese 30:
He (Jesus)
said: "I am indeed a slave-servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a
prophet.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 43 Surah
Zukhruf verse 59:
He (Jesus) was no more than a
slave-servant: We granted
Our favor to him and We made him an example to the Children of Israel.
For Prophet Noah (a.s.):
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 54 Surah
Qamar verse 3:
Before them the People of Noah rejected (their
apostle): they rejected Our slave- servant and said
"Here is one possessed!" and he was driven out.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah
Bani Israel verse 3:
O
ye that are sprung from those whom We carried (in the
For Prophet Dawood (a.s.):
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 38 Surah
Saad verse 17:
Have patience at what they say and remember Our
slave-servant Dawood, the
man of strength: for he ever turned (to Allah).
For Prophets Abraham (a.s.), and Ishaaq (a.s.), and Yaqoob (a.s.):
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 38 Surah
Saad verse 45:
And commemorate Our slave-servants
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, possessors of Power and Vision.
For Prophet Sulaimaan (a.s.):
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 38
Surah Saad verse 30:
To David We gave Solomon (for a son) how
excellent a slave-servant! Ever did he turn (to Us)!
These Prophets are without an iota of a doubt, amongst
the very best and the noblest of all the creations of Allah Subhanah, and there
is or can be no bigger honor than for one in creation to be called and
recognized as a ‘slave-servant’ (Abd) of the Creator!
Your Statement:
ALLAH has made him from his NOOR and in this Qaiynath there is no one dearer as
he is.
Beloved brother in Islam, it is indeed true that none in
creation is dearer to Allah Subhanah and also to the believers than the self of
the Noble Prophet Mohamed (saws).
But it is an absolutely incorrect notion and belief to
believe that Prophet Mohamed (saws) was created from the ‘Noor’ of Allah
Subhanah!
Allah Subhanah clearly Declares in the Quran that He
created the first human being of clay and created his progeny from a nature of
fluid. Prophet Mohamed (saws) was,
without an iota of a doubt, a ‘bashar’ (human being), and thus he (saws) was NOT
created from ‘noor’ like the angels. There
is absolutely no truth to the statement that the Noble Prophet Mohamed (saws)
was created from ‘Noor’ or Light!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 32 Surah
As-Sajdah verses 7-8:
7
He Who has made everything which He has created most
Good. He began the creation of man
with (nothing more than) clay.
8
And made his progeny from a quintessence of
the nature of a fluid despised.
Some people, in their excess, try to hold and spread such
false beliefs that the Prophet (saws) was not created like the other human
beings, and thus try to propagate that he (saws) was created like the Angels
from ‘noor’ or light! Because they
believe that if the Prophet (saws) was only a human being, then what would be
the difference between him and other human beings? So, in their excess, they try to invent
falsehoods and say things about the Prophet (saws) and his self which have absolutely
no basis in reality! People who claim
such falsehood, in their excess and their ignorance, try to belittle the noble
Prophet (saws) by claiming he was created from ‘noor’! The greatness and significance of the Noble
Prophet (saws) lies in the fact that he, like all the other human beings, was
created from clay, possessed the nature of a human being, and was bestowed with
a ‘free will’ to choose like every human being; and the Noble Prophet (saws)
chose to submit himself unconditionally to His Supreme Lord and Creator.
Had he (saws) been created from ‘noor’, he would have been
an angel, who do not possess the nature of human beings, do not have to fight
temptation like the humans, and do not possess a ‘free will’ to choose between
obedience and disobedience! Greatness
and magnificence is when one is bestowed with the weak nature of man, and this
human being chooses to remain an obedient slave of his Lord and Creator!
Allah Subhanah has Himself commanded the Prophet (saws) to
declare in the Glorious Quran, that he
(saws) is no more than a ‘bashar’ (human being); the only difference being that
he (saws) has been chosen as a Messenger of Allah, is directly inspired and
guided by Allah Subhanah, and receives Revelations from the Lord of the Worlds.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 18 Surah
Kahf verse 110:
Say (O Prophet) : "I am but a ‘bashar’
(human) like yourselves (but)
the inspiration has come to me: that your Allah is one Allah: whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work righteousness, and in the worship of his Lord admit no one as
partner."
The greatness and significance of the Noble Prophet (saws)
lies in the fact that he, like all the other human beings, was created from
clay, possessed the nature of a human being, and was bestowed with a ‘free
will’ to choose between obedience and disobedience like every human being; and
the Noble Prophet (saws) chose to submit himself unconditionally to His Supreme
Lord and Creator.
Beloved brother in Islam, we assure you that there is
absolutely nothing in the Quran or Sunnah which even implies that the Messenger
of Allah (saws) was created from ‘Noor’; on the contrary the Glorious Quran
clearly declares that the Prophet (saws) was no more than a ‘bashar’ (human
being) and like all human beings, he (saws) too was created from clay.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah
Hajj verse 77-78:
O you who have believed, do ‘rukooh’ (bow down) and do ‘sajdah’
(prostration), and worship your Lord Allah Alone, and do righteous deeds: it
may be that you attain true success!
Exert your utmost for the cause of Allah, as one should. He has chosen you for His service, and has
not laid on you any hardship in your religion.
Therefore, be steadfast in the
religion of your father Abraham. Allah
had named you ‘muslims’ before this, and has named you (muslims) in this Quran
also, so that the Messenger may
be a witness in regard to you, and you
may be witnesses in regard to the rest of mankind.
Allah is our witness sister, our guidance is based on no
particular sect, but rather on the two Divine sources of Guidance alone:
- The
Glorious Quran
- The
authentic and established Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws).
The true believers should be honored to be recognized by
the name their Lord and Creator, Allah Subhanah has Himself chosen for the
believers; ie. ‘muslims’ without adding any self-invented and man-made prefixes
to it like Sunnis, Shias, etc.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 171 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr
Allah's Messenger (saws) said: ‘There will
befall my Ummah exactly (all those) evils which befell the people of Isra'il,
so much so that if there was one amongst them who openly committed fornication
with his mother there will be among my Ummah one who will do that, and if the
people of Isra'il were fragmented into seventy-two sects my Ummah will be
fragmented into seventy-three sects. All of them will be in Hell Fire except
one sect.’ They (the Companions) said: ‘O Allah's Messenger (saws), which is
that?’ Whereupon he (saws) said: ‘It
is one to which I and my companions belong.’
If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and
commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws),
one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any
other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be
assured of being led astray.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
