Among the necessities of faith in the messengers
0:13
Among the necessities of faith in the messengers
0:16
is to love them, revere them, and honor them.
0:19
And to believe them in all that they informed about Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.
0:24
And to believe that Allah chose them for His message,
0:28
due to His knowledge, Glorified be He, of their righteousness and their deservingness of that.
0:32
As Allah, the Most High, said:
0:34
“Allah chooseth from the angels messengers, and (also) from mankind. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Seer.” (22:75)
0:40
"Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing."
0:43
And Allah, the Most High, said:
0:45
“And when a token cometh unto them, they say: We will not believe till we are given that which Allah's messengers are given. Allah knoweth best with whom to place His message. Humiliation from Allah and heavy punishment will smite the guilty for their scheming.” (6:124)
0:49
And among the necessities of faith in the messengers also is
0:53
not to exaggerate about them,
0:55
and not to place them in a rank higher than that of humanity,
1:00
such as worshipping them instead of Allah,
1:02
or associating them with Him in worship.
1:05
As the Christians did with Jesus, peace be upon him.
1:09
So, it is obligatory to limit their veneration to the rank of humanity.
1:14
For despite their honor and elevated status,
1:17
they are servants of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and are subject to Him.
1:21
And they have reached the peak of perfection in their servitude to Him, Glorified be He.
1:26
And that is honor enough.
1:28
And Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, described His chosen Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
1:34
with the description of a servant in the most noble of situations.
1:37
Allah, the Most High, said:
1:39
“Glorified be He Who carried His servant by night from the Inviolable Place of Worship to the Far distant place of worship the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed, that We might show him of Our tokens! Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Seer.” (17:1)
1:44
“Glorified be He Who carried His servant by night from the Inviolable Place of Worship to the Far distant place of worship the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed, that We might show him of Our tokens! Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Seer.” (17:1)
