We say, and we are not shy to say it: Prophet Muhammad (s) is our light
Prophet Muhammad (s) is our heart
Prophet Muhammad (s) is our life
For without our beloved Prophet (s) we would never have been guided to know of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, nor of the Angels, the prophets, the books of revelation nor of the Afterlife.
Following this verse, obligating believers to praise the Prophet (s), Allah then describes the incomparab.
Suffice it to point out in this respect that it is out of honor and commendation of His Prophet (s) that Allah, revealed this Quranic verse starting with His Divine Self and followed by His Angels, orders His servants thus: Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Prophet
O ye who believe Send your blessings on him and salute him With all respect.
The Almighty reserves the best of rewards and the most complete forgiveness for those who continually bless His Prophet (s).
Blessing the Prophet (s) is a token of devotion, obedience and the highest form of worship to bring the believer closer to Allah.
In truth, to thank the Prophet (s) is to thank Allah, and Allah Himself is Champion and Supporter of those who honor His Beloved Messenger (s).
To send blessings on the Prophet (s) is only a negligible payment for the unending benefits and good we have seen through him.
In thus blessing him we show him gratitude and acknowledge his countless favors to us.
Sending blessings on Allah\'s Beloved (s) is certainly the best way of invoking him, in compliance with the command of the Lord Almighty.
By the same token, the hearts of true believers ought to be filled with similar devotion to the Prophet (s).
He was much dearer to us than fresh water is for a thirsty soul." Such was the esteem and the honor the Prophet (s) was held in by his Companions.
When our master \'Ali (r) was asked about the strength of his devotion to Allah\'s Prophet (s) he replied: "By Allah, we cherished him more than we did our children, our parents, and all of our possessions.
We say, and we are not shy to say it: Prophet Muhammad (s) is our light
Prophet Muhammad (s) is our heart
Prophet Muhammad (s) is our life
For without our beloved Prophet (s) we would never have been guided to know of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, nor of the Angels, the prophets, the books of revelation nor of the Afterlife
