Book Name:Kamalat-e-Mustafa
These are Messengers; that We have exalted one above the other; amongst them is one with whom Allah spoke, and one is that whom (Allah) elevated in rank above all.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 3, Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 253)
It is written under this blessed verse in Tafseer Siraat-ul-Jinan volume 1, page no. 379: The one for whom it has been stated: ‘One is that whom (Allah) elevated in rank above all’ refers to our Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has been granted superiority with enormous ranks [by Allah Almighty] over all Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام. Not mentioning the blessed name of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم at this place is also for sublimity of his glory. This way, the aim is to make people aware that whenever the matter of superiorities amongst blessed Ambiya عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام is discussed, so only the blessed personality of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم comes into mind. The particularities and marvels of the Ghayb-knowing Rasool, the Embodiment of Noor صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in which he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم holds superiority over all other Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام and no other Prophet عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام shares them, are countless.
It is mentioned in the Holy Quran that ‘one is that whom (Allah Almighty) elevated in rank above all’ and no limit of ‘elevation in rank’ is mentioned in the Holy Quran, so now, who can put a limit to it? Some of the particularities bestowed on the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم are, his Prophethood encompasses everything i.e. the whole Universe is the Ummah of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. The Prophethood has been ended on the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has been bestowed with more Prophetic miracles than all other Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام. His Ummah has been made superior to all other Ummahs. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has been bestowed with Hawd-e-Kawsar [Pond of Kawsar], Maqaam-e-Mahmood[1], Shafa’at-e-Kubra [the greatest intercession]. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was bestowed with special closeness to Allah Almighty in Shab-e-Mi’raaj [the night of ascension]. In
[1] Maqaam-e-Mahmood is the particular rank which Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will bestow upon the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم on the Judgement Day where all those who came in the world from the first era to the last will praise the Greatest Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
