Book Name:Shan e Mustafa Ba Zaban e Ambia علیہم السلام

وَکُلُّھُمْ مِّن رَّسُوْلِ اللہِ مُلْتَمِسٌ          غَرْفًامِّنَ الْبَحْرِاَوْرَشْفًامِّنَ الدِّیَمٖ

 

Translation: All other Ambiya عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام are seeking only as much water as can be contained in one’s cupped hand or a single drop of water from the ocean of the generosity of the Beloved Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

In this context, let’s listen to a summary of what A’la Hadrat, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: All the blessed Ambiya عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام, in their sacred gathering, described the excellences, virtues and praises of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. They made their Ummah promise to have faith in the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and to help him.

Glory of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم described by Sayyiduna Aadam

Dear Islamic brothers! Sayyiduna Aadam عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام is known by us all. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ granted him the privilege of becoming the father of all humans. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ also commanded all the angels to prostrate before him and made him stay   in Paradise. Sayyiduna Aadam عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام had great affection for the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. He once praised the Beloved Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in the presence of his son Sayyiduna Shees عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام and advised him to mention the Beloved Nabi Muhammad صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

Sayyiduna Aadam عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام said to his son: Whenever you make the Zikr of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, then also make the Zikr of Muhammad صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. I saw his name written on the pillars of the ‘Arsh at the time when I was between soul and soil [i.e. going to be created]. When I was made to visit the skies, I also saw his name written everywhere. Then I was made to stay in Paradise where I also saw the name ‘Muhammad’ written on every palace and door of Paradise. In addition to this, I saw the name ‘Muhammad’ written on the foreheads of the maidens of Paradise, on the leaves of the Tuba tree, Sidra-tul-Muntaha tree and other trees of Paradise, at the corner of the Hijabat-e-Ilahiyyah and between the eyes of the angels. Therefore, mention him in abundance. Indeed the angels also continue to mention him all the time. (Tareekh Ibn ‘Asakir, vol. 23, pp. 281, Raqm 2781)
