“Say: if it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that ye have gained; the commerce in which ye fear a decline: or the dwellings in which ye delight- are dearer to you than ALLAH, or His RASUL, or the striving in his cause- then wait until Allah brings about His Decision: and Allah guides not the rebellious.”( Qur’an at-Tawba 24 )

Allah says : “Your riches and your children may be but a trial: but in the Presence of Allah, is the highest Reward.” ( Qur’an Al-Tagabun –15 )

That is why Hz.Ali (k.v) was lying in the bed of Rasulullah (sas) when disbelievers(mushriqs) were trying to kill Rasulullah(sas) in his bed. In fact, they found Hz. Ali (k.v) lying in his bed. What made Hz.Ali to lie there to jeopardize himself ? It is the love of Rasulullah (sas). Because He loved Rasulullah (sas) more than his own self.

Unfortunately today, muslims are shattered in to pieces amongst themselves since they do not hold on to the rope of ALLAH tightly. That rope is Rasulullah (SAS). If you asked many scholars of Islam today, when Rasulullah (sas) die ? The answer you would get would be 632 AD. This is because they can not figure out the difference between the two faces of Muhammad (sas). His inner(batini) face looking to ALLAH is called RASUL(sas) and his outer face living amongst us as Muhammad (a.s) being servant of ALLAH (Abdullah) is a bashari(human being like any of us) face. Muhammad (a.s) as a human being dies but his inner batini face as Rasulullah will carry on existing with ALLAH j.j . That is why ALLAH j.j constantly mentioned ALLAH and HIS RASUL(sas) in the verses of Qur’an together. ALLAH and HIS RASUL(sas) are at their duty all the time and they don’t die. If Rasul as a first manifestation point for the creation of the universes(alams) had died where was ALLAH going to manifest(making tajalli) the meanings of His Beautiful Divine Names ( ASMAUL HUSNA)? Have the muslim population ever think of this? Allah is AZ- Z‘AHIRU (J.J) [Qur’an Ref: 57/3] (dhatī)( اَلظَّاخِرُ) : the Manifest One by His Rasul.

When a person becomes muslim, first thing to do is to take shahada(testimony). In this testimony every one is confirming that There is no God but ALLAH, Muhammad (sas) is the slave of ALLAH(Abdullah) and His RASUL. Why is this a foundation of entering in to islam? Did we consider this? The one who dies is Muhammad (as) who is Abdullah. But as a RASUL , he is not dead and he was at his duty in past, he is at his duty right at this moment and he will be at his duty in the hereafter.

The ones who talk on behalf of Rasulullah (sas) by cutting his authentic hadiths completely and saying that we only go by Qur’an should consider this fully before they act and make fancy speeches to the muslim public around the world. The ones who think that Rasulullah (sas) as a postman who delivered the message of ALLAH and has gone are in big error and they will pay the cost of this badly. How they will face Rasulullah (sas), I can’t think of it!

If Rasulullah (sas) is dead , are we following a dead Rasul? Rasulullah (sas) is more HAYY(alive) than many other people who are walking zombies on this earth. Lets have a look at some verses in the Qur’an to see what ALLAH j.j is saying to us:

BELIEVE IN ALLAH AND HIS RASUL:
O ye who believe! Believe in ALLAH and His RASUL, and the scripture which He hath sent to His Messenger and the scripture which He sent to those before (him). Any who denieth Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Day of Judgement, hath gone far, far astray. ( Qur’an –An-Nisa 136 )

SUBMIT/SURRENDER YOUR SELVES TO RASUL(sas):

“Inna Allaha wamala-ikatahu yusalloona AAala alnnabiyyi ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo salloo AAalayhi wasallimoo TASLEEMA:
Allah and His Angels send blessing on the Prophet: o ye that believe send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect. “ ( Qur’an –Al-Ahzab 56 )

What is translated as word “respect” is wrong . Term “TASLEEMA” used is to make “SiLM” which means SURRENDERING or SUBMISSION like in ISLAM. Unfortunately English translators are cutting an important message here. Fully submission to both ALLAH and RASUL is a requirement in ISLAM…

OBEY ALLAH AND HIS RASUL:

Those are limits set by Allah; those who obey ALLAH and His RASUL will be admitted to Gardens with rivers flowing beneath, to abide therein (forever) and that will be the supreme achievement. ( Qur’an –An-Nisa 13)

The Believers, men and women, are protectors, one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practice regular charity, and obey ALLAH and His RASUL. On them will Allah pour His Mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise.(Qur’an-At-Tawba 71 )

It is not fitting for a Believer, men or women, when a matter has been decided by ALLAH and His RASUL, to have any option about their decision: if anyone disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path. ( Qur’an –Al-Ahzab 36)

DON’T BETRAY The TRUST OF ALLAH AND HIS RASUL:
O ye that believe! betray not the trust of Allah and the Messenger, nor misappropriate knowingly things entrusted to you.( Qur’an Al-Anfal 27 )

FOLLOW the RASUL of ALLAH:

Say: “O men! I am sent unto you all, as the RASULULLAH(Messenger of Allah), to Whom belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth: there is no god but He: it is He that giveth both life and death. So believe in ALLAH and HIS RASUL, the unlettered(UMMI) Prophet, who believeth in Allah and His Words: FOLLOW HIM that (so) ye may be guided.” ( Qur’an-Al-Araf 158 )

So are we believing in, surrendering our selves to , obeying and following a dead RASUL?
I beseech all muslims in the world to consider that RASUL is alive and He is at his duty. Therefore live this religion accordingly with a Muhammadi consciousness. ALLAH and HIS RASUL are with you all the time. May ALLAH guide us and help us all inshaallah…
