Quotes to remember

22. `Umar ibn Abdul Aziz wrote to one of his governors and said, “Do not punish at the time of anger. If you are angry with any man, keep him in detention. When your anger is appeased punish him in proportion to his crime.”

Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

Are the Prophets also Messengers?

 


Question:

Are the Prophets mentioned in the saying of Allaah, the Most High: "Verily, We have inspired you (O Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم)) as We inspired Nooh.", Messengers or not? And who is the first Messenger?
Answer:

The Prophets mentioned in the saying of Allaah, the Most High: "Verily, We have inspired you (O Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم)) as We inspired Nooh and the Prophets after him." - An-Nisaa' (4):163
The ones who are mentioned in the context of the saying of Allaah, the Most High, are all Messengers: "Messengers as bearers of good news as well as of warning in order that mankind should have no plea against Allaah after the Messengers." - An-Nisaa' (4):165

And all the Prophets who are mentioned in the Qur'aan are Messengers because of the saying of Allaah, the Most High: "And, indeed We have sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم)); of some of them We have related to you their story and of some We have not related to you their story." - Ghaafir (40):78

And the first of the Messengers is Nooh and the last of them is Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) because of the saying of Allaah, the Most High: "As We inspired Nooh and the Prophets after him." - An-Nisa (4):163

And it is established in a hadeeth regarding intercession that the people will come to Nooh and they will say to him: "You are the first Messenger that Allaah sent to mankind."

And to the saying of Allaah, the Most High about Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Muhammad is not the father of any man among you, but he is the Messenger of Allaah and the last (end) of the Prophets." - Al-Ahzaab (33):40

And if Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was the last of the Prophets, then he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was also the last of the Messengers for there is no Messengership without Prophethood and to this it is said: "Every Messenger is a Prophet but not every Prophet is a Messenger."
