3. Sayyiduna Musa’s wish to become the part of this Ummah surely shows the superiority of this Ummah, but he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام is much superior to this Ummah or rather he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام is amongst the five Prophets who are even superior to all other blessed Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام. Allah Almighty has greatly favoured us for His Beloved Rasool’s sake that He has made us Muslims and included us in the Ummah of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. It is such a huge favour to us that if we thank Him throughout our life for this favour of His, even then we will not be able to fulfil the right of this favour.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Reason why Ummah of Mustafa is superior

O devotees of Rasool! As our Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the chief of all Rasools and the best of all. Without any comparison, for his sake his Ummah is also superior to all Ummahs. (Bahar-e-Shari’at)

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه! We are extremely fortunate that we have become the Ummati [followers] of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Surely our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the best of all blessed Prophets. For his sake his Ummah is also superior to all the previous Ummahs.

Remember! The reason behind this superiority is not this at all that this Ummah will have a large number of capitalists, engineers and doctors or this Ummah will be brave and strong or this Ummah will be very clever and watchful, but rather one reason why they are superior is that they present the call towards righteousness and forbid from evil. In verse 110 of Surah  Aal-e-‘Imran part 4 Allah Almighty has stated:

كُنْتُمْ خَیْرَ اُمَّةٍ اُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَاْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَ تَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ تُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِؕ

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: (O Ummat of Muhammad) you are the best among all those nations which appeared amongst the people; you command good and forbid evil, and you believe in Allah.

(Part 4, Surah Aal-e-‘Imran, Ayah 110)
