BELIEFS ABOUT PROPHETHOOD(NABUWA’T AND RISALAT) 9

What about that who does not respect the Prophets?
It is incumbent upon every believer to respect and revere the Prophets. This religious binding on the believers is higher than other obligations. To speak low of any Prophet what to talk of derogatory words, is tantamount to disbelief. Thus he who says anything which directly or indirectly insults any Prophet or subjects him to innuendoes is a disbeliever.

can anyone become Prophet by worship and prayer?           
No, absolutely not. The Prophethood is a highly exalted rank. Nobody can become Prophet by worship and prayer even if he fasts and prays (worships Allah) throughout his life and spends all his wealth in Allah’s way. The Prophethood is an exclusive divine gift which Allah Almighty confers on the servant whom He chooses.

What is the total number of the Prophets?
It is not fair to fix any particular number for the Prophets. We should maintain this belief that ”we believe in all Prophets of Allah”.

Are the angels and genies Prophets?
No, the Prophets are only in humanbeings and that too the males only. No angel, genie or female is Prophet.

Is someone else also ”Ma’soom” (impeccable) besides the Prophets and angels?
No one is impeccable besides the Prophets and angels. To consider anyone impeccable like that of the Prophets is a grave error.

Are Allah’s saints (Wali pl.Auliya) also not impeccable?
Allah’s saints and “Ahle Bait” (posterity of the Holy Prophet) are also not impeccable, but Allah Almighty protects them against sins. It is also not impossible for them to err.

Did any Prophet hide any command of Allah?
No, all Prophets sincerely and scrupulously communicated Allah’s commands to mankind. If any one says that any Prophet did not communicate or hid any command of Allah for fear of anybody or expediency, he is a disbeliever.

Can we call those Prophets who have passed-away “dead”?
All Prophets are as much alive in their graves as they were in the mortal world. They eat, drink and go where they want to. The death has touched them only for a moment. But all the these facts are beyond the comprehension of a common man.

Which Prophet came first to the world?
Hazrat Adam (saws) was the first Prophet who was sent into the world. Before him there was no humanbeing, that’s why he is called “the father of mankind”. All humanbeings are his progeny.

Who was the first Rasul (Messenger)?
The first Rasul who was sent down for the guidance of unbelievers and disbelievers was Hadrat Nuh [Noah] (saws). He preached for 950 years but disbelievers who were stone-hearted and obstinately insolent remained clung to thier disbelief. At last, Prophet Noah prayed to Allah Almighty and a dreaded deluge overtook them. All disbelievers on the earth were eliminated. A few believers and a pair of every animal which boarded Noah’s boat were safe.

Which Prophet came in the last?
The Prophet who was sent in the last for the guidance of whole world is our Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (SAWS). In him the institution of Prophethood attained its highest glory. He is the Last Prophet and no prophet will succeed him in whatsoever way.

Are all Prophets equal in rank or superior to one another?
All Prophets have their respective ranks, The highest of all is our kind master Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (saws). Therefore he is called ”Saie-yidul Anmbiyaa” (the leader, chief of all Prophets).

Who is next to our Prophet in rank?
Hazrat lbraaheem Khaleel-ul Laah [Abraham] is next to Hazrat Muhammad (SAWS) in superiority. After him Hadrat Musa (Moses) Hadrat lsa (Jesus) and Hadrat Nuh (Noah) are superior to other Prophets. All these chosen servants of Allah are best of all humanbeings even of angels.
