Alhamdulillah, Allah SWT has given to this ummah, the blessing of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The Prophet SAW said that on the day of judgment, there would be a 100 ranks of people to enter into jannah. 80 of those ranks would be from his ummah. So its a blessing from Allah SWT that he has made us people of this ummah.This ummah and the greatness of this ummah, is in the message that it has to impart.
First to itself and then to those around it. And the message, unlike other Ummah, is not connected to a personality.It is not the message of a man, or about a man. It is not a message of a groups ethnic background, such as the chosen people, because of the lineage of their father. It is not the message of nothingness.It is not the message of the worldly things, of materialism.
And once that concept is envied and is inculcates in the human heart then it becomes more than a concept. It becomes a reality by which the human being is able to walk in the earth, as khalifa of Allah SWT and nothing less. And yet that 'Laa Ilaaha Illalaah', can never be separated from the fact that it was brought by a human being.And because of that Allah SWT has made a second part to this message.
And that message is 'Muhammad-ur-Rasoolullah'. It is not a call to the personality of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. But it is a recognition, that human beings are guided to their Lord, through human beings that are chosen by their Lord to guide them.And because they are chosen, because they are 'mustafa', 'mujtabah' we have been commanded to show them great honour and great respect. To honour them by following them, to honour them by praising them and to honour them by carrying their message to others.
And so we do not call to the personality of our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW, but we call to his reality as the greatest slave of Allah SWT. This is what we call to, because he is the exemplar. You have in the Messenger of Allah SWT, the greatest example for those who desire their Lord... who hope for their Lord and who do much remembrance of Allah SWT. So in following the Prophet of Allah SWT, this ummah achieves the highest in human possibility. And in deviating from the Messenger of Allah SWT this ummah is humiliated in this world. This is the nature of the contract with Allah SWT.
