which the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم praised Allah cannot be done by anybody else in creation; not before, now, or ever. His name is Ahmad for this very reason (‘He who glorifies and praises Allah abundantly’).

The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم shall praise Allah in an unprecedented manner, when he performs said prostration (on the Day of Judgement).

When the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم comes to the maqam mahmud, he will then be praised by none other than Allah Himself in a manner completely unique and unmatchable.

This is why the name of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is Muhammad, which means ‘he who has been extensively praised.’

The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم will visit Hell to free all sinful members of his ummah. For sinners like us, he will visit a place which does not befit his majesty, just to save and help us.  Today, it is not impossible for the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to bless a gathering of Mawlid or dhikr with his presence. He can do so with the authority granted to him by Allah. This does not decrease his exemplary status in any way, but increases us, as well as our households, in dignity and blessings.^[1]

On the Day of Judgement, the sun will be casting fire at only a mile and a quarter above, and mankind will be made to stand barefoot on
