of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, were gathered in Bayt-ul-Muqaddas.[1] When the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came here so all the Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام welcomed him. At the time of Salah, everyone requested the Revered and Renowned Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to lead the Salah. Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام then held the blessed hand of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and requested to move forward and then the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did the Imaamat of all the Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsat lit-Tabarani, vol. 3, pp. 65, Hadis 3879)

 

Sayyiduna ‘Allamah Buseeri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated:

 

وَ قَدَّمَتۡكَ جَمِيۡعُ الۡاَنۡبِيَاءِ بِهَا                  وَ الرُّسُلِ تَقۡدِيۡمَ مَخۡدُوۡمٍ عَلٰي خَدَمِ

i.e. in Bayt-ul-Muqaddas, all the Prophets and Rusul عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام requested the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to be in front of them as master is in front of his servants. (Qasida-tul-Burdah, pp. 240)

 

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! What a great Salah as all the Prophets and Rusul عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام were Muqtadi and our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was Imam and the first Qiblah was the place of Salah. Certainly, no such Salah had ever been offered in the whole universe before; sky had never seen such a beautiful scene. Anyway, the blessed mystery of our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم of being the first and last was also resolved; this secret has also been discovered and the meaning has become clear like daylight. As today the Greatest and Holiest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم who is also the last Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  is leading the Salah of the previous Prophets and Rusul عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام. Talking about the same secret, A’la Hadrat, Imam-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, Maulana Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن has stated:
