ياكاشف الغمة يارسول الله ﷺ

O Reliever of Distress, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ

The Prophet ﷺ holds a great status and lofty rank with his Lord, surpassing all other creatures. He is the Master of the Children of Adam, indeed the Master of the universe and its chosen creation. He is better than the angels and even superior to the Throne. Only his Creator truly knows his reality and his immense worth.

Allah has granted him many unique virtues, praised him in various forms, and mentioned him in the Qur’an with the highest attributes. Allah described him as a mercy:

“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.”
And He said:
“There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. It grieves him that you should perish; [he is] concerned over you and to the believers is kind and merciful.”

Allah also described him ﷺ as a guiding light to the truth:

“O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner,
And as one who invites to Allah by His permission and as a shining lamp.”
And He said:
“O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger to make clear to you much of what you used to conceal of the Scripture and to forgive much. There has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book.”

Allah praised his character:

“And indeed, you are of a great moral character.”
As the Prophet ﷺ himself said:
“I was sent only to perfect good moral character.”
[Ahmad, Al-Bayhaqi, Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak, and Malik in Al-Muwatta]

Allah also honored him above the prophets before him in how He addressed them. Looking at the Qur’an, Allah called previous prophets by their individual names:

“O Noah, he is not of your family.”
“O Abraham, turn away from this.”
“O Moses, I am your Lord.”
“O Jesus, I will take you and raise you up.”
“O David, We have made you a vicegerent on the earth.”

But our Prophet ﷺ was never addressed simply by name in the Qur’an. Rather, Allah always called him with honorifics:

“O Prophet,”
“O Messenger,”
“O Covered One,”
“O Enshrouded One.”

He ﷺ deserved this status, and he deserves that we love him with all our hearts, for he bore suffering for our sake. His patience and tolerance in the face of harm are unmatched. Every patient person may falter, but he ﷺ, despite repeated harm, only increased in patience, and despite the excesses of the ignorant, he only increased in forbearance… (to be continued)

ياكاشفالغمة يارسول_الله ﷺ

للنبي ﷺ عند ربه مقام عظيم، وقدر جليل، فاق كل الخلائق أجمعين، فهو سيد ولد آدم، بل هو سيد الأكوان وصفوتها، فهو خير من الملائكة، وخير من العرش، ولا يعرف حقيقته وعظيم قدره إلا خالقه سبحانه وتعالى.
وقد خصه ربنا بمزايا عديدة، ونوع أشكال المدح له، وذكره في قرآنه بأجل الصفات، فوصفه ربنا بالرحمة فقال :(وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلاَّ رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ)، وقال : (لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُم بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ).
ووصفه ربنا سبحانه بأنه النور الهادي للحق فقال تعالى : (يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِداً وَمُبَشِّراً وَنَذِيراً * وَدَاعِياً إِلَى اللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَسِرَاجاً مُّنِيراً). وقال سبحانه : ( يَا أَهْلَ الكِتَابِ قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ كَثِيراً مِّمَّا كُنتُمْ تُخْفُونَ مِنَ الكِتَابِ وَيَعْفُو عَن كَثِيرٍ قَدْ جَاءَكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ نُورٌ وَكِتَابٌ مُّبِينٌ).
وأثنى الله على أخلاقه فقال تعالى : (وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ) ، وكما أخبر هو بنفسه ﷺ عن ذلك فقال : ( إنما بعثت لأتمم مكارم الأخلاق) [أحمد والبيهقي والحاكم في المستدرك ومالك في الموطأ].
ولقد فضله الله على الأنبياء قبله في النداء، فالناظر في القرآن الكريم يرى أن الله قد نادى الأنبياء عليهم السلام قبله بأسمائهم المجردة، فقال تعالى (يَا نُوحُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ) وقال : (يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَعْرِضْ عَنْ هَذَا) ، وقال سبحانه : (يَا مُوسَى * إِنِّي أَنَا رَبُّكَ) ، وقال سبحانه وتعالى : (يَا عِيسَى إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ وَرَافِعُكَ) ، وقال سبحانه : (يَا دَاوُودُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ خَلِيفَةً فِي الأَرْضِ).
أما نبينا ﷺ فما ناداه الله تعالى في كتابه العزيز باسمه مجردا قط، بل كان دائما يناديه بقوله : (يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ)، أو (يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ)، أو (يَا أَيُّهَا المُدَّثِّرُ)، أو (يَا أَيُّهَا المُزَّمِّلُ).
وكان ﷺ يستحق تلك المكانة التي جعلها الله له، ويستحق أن نحبه بكل قلوبنا، فهو الذي كان يتحمل الأذى من أجلنا، ولا يخفى ما يؤثر من حلمه ﷺ واحتماله الأذى، وإن كل حليم قد عرفت منه زلة، وحفظت عنه هفوة، وهو ﷺ لا يزيد مع كثرة الأذى إلا صبرا، وعلى إسراف الجاهل إلا حلما….(يتبع)
