“The name of the Prophet, (pbuh), is an indication of his rank, and it is also an indication into the manner of behaviour that one should have towards him. Allah made him as His masterpiece in creation. He was a prophet whose mi’raj took him further than any prophet or angel to the presence of Allah yet at the same time he was a prophet that would answer the invitation of a person no matter how poor he was. He was a prophet, from whom angels used to ask permission to enter into his presence, yet he was someone whose hand could be taken by slaves and have their needs fulfilled by him. He was a prophet whom Allah had made the master of all mankind, more honoured by Allah than anyone else; yet, he was someone who would take the time to console a small child whose pet chick had died.He, peace and blessings be upon him, was a prophet who was offered the keys of the heavens and the earth, yet he used to sleep on a bed made of palm fibre which imprinted its marks on his luminous skin. He was the only prophet by whose life Allah swore, yet he would give life to the night standing in prayer, weeping for his nation, until his feet became swollen.No tongue praises the Prophet, (pbuh), except that it falls short of his honoured rank. For if Allah the Unique, the Pre-eternal and Everlasting has praised him in the Quran, what can be said by anyone after that?”
