So, the Ummah will testify that he did indeed convey the message.^[1]

In another narration, the beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ said, “On the Day of Judgement, for any Prophet whose nation denies that he delivered the message, we will testify in their (Prophet’s) favor.”^[2]

The Ummah of Islam are witnesses in this world too

Sayyidunā Anas b. Mālik رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ narrates:

Once, a funeral passed by. The noble Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم  praised the deceased. Upon hearing this, the beloved Prophet  صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ said, “It has become obligatory for him.” Then, another funeral passed by. The impressions of the noble Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم about this deceased were not good. Upon this, the beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ said, “It has become obligatory for him too.” Then he said, “For the one whom you testify to be good, Paradise is made obligatory for him. And for the one whom you testify against, Hell is made obligatory for him. You are Allah’s witnesses upon the earth.”^[3]

Dear Islamic Brothers! اللہ اکبر! This is our value, this is our importance! This Ummah will bear witness for the noble Prophets عَـلَيْـهِمُ الـسَّـلاَم on the Day of Judgement. In this world, if this Ummah gives testimony in favor of someone, Paradise becomes obligatory for that person. What a significant matter this is! Now let us reflect. Are we worthy of this status? Are we living up to the rank granted to the Ummah of Islam? Alas! What a shame!
