Rasool’. Besides this, we are going to listen to the sayings of blessed Islamic scholars regarding his worship, recitation of the Holy Quran and manner of performing worship. Let’s, first of all, listen to a parable in relation to his devotion to Rasool and refresh our faith.

Imam Malik رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه and reverence for Masjid Nabawi

Once Caliph Abu Ja’far Mansoor raised his voice while having conversation with Sayyiduna Imam Malik رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه in blessed Masjid Nabawi, Sayyiduna Imam Malik رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه said to him [presenting him the call towards righteousness]: O Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen! Do not raise your voice in this Masjid, because teaching respect to a group Allah Almighty has stated:

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَرْفَعُوْۤا اَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِیِّ

O believers! Do not raise your voices higher than the voice of this Conveyor of the unseen (Prophet Muhammad)

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 26, Surah Al-Hujurat, Ayah 2)

Praising the other group Allah Almighty has stated:

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَغُضُّوْنَ اَصْوَاتَهُمْ عِنْدَ رَسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ

Indeed those who lower their voices in the august court of Allah’s Messenger,

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 26, Surah Al-Hujurat, Ayah 3)

And condemning a nation Allah Almighty has stated:

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یُنَادُوْنَكَ مِنْ وَّرَآءِ الْحُجُرٰتِ

Indeed those who call you from outside (your) private rooms,

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 26, Surah Al-Hujurat, Ayah 4)
