Muhammad (alaihi-salam) is the highest of prophets and is Allahu Taala’s compassion for all creatures. Eighteen thousand worlds of beings receive benefit from his ocean of blessings. By consensus, he is the Prophet for all human beings and genies. Many reports state that he is the Prophet for angels, plants, animals and for every substance. While other prophets had been sent to certain tribes in certain countries, Rasulullah (alaihi-salam) was and is the Prophet of all classes of beings and all the living and lifeless creatures. Allahu Taala had addressed other Prophets by their names. As for Muhammad (alaihi-salam), Allahu Taala favored him by addressing him, “Oh My Prophet!” The like of every miracle that had been granted to other prophets was presented to him. Allahu Taala bestowed upon the Beloved Prophet more gifts and granted him more miracles than those that had been granted to any other prophet. He was made superior to all prophets with countless honors and excellences: the moon split into two when he made a sign with his blessed finger; the stones in his palm uttered the Name of Allah; trees greeted him by saying, “Oh Rasulallah”; the dry log named Hannana cried because Rasulullah (alaihi-salam) walked away and left it alone; pure water flowed from between his blessed fingers; the high grades of al-Maqam al-Mahmud (praise and glory), ashShafa’at al-kubra (intercession), al-Hawd al-Kawthar (white as milk, river or pond of abundant goodness in Paradise where the umma of Rasulullah ‘alaihis-salam will be gathered on the Day of Judgement) , al-Wasila (means of approach) and al-Fadila (virtuous) were to be given to him in the Hereafter; he had the honor of seeing Allahu Taala’s Jamal before entering Paradise [during the Mi’raj]; he had the most beautiful moral quality in the world, the most perfect faith, knowledge, gentleness, patience, gratitude, zuhd (turning away from worldly things), chastity, justness, heroism, bashfulness, bravery, modesty, wisdom, beautiful manners, helpfulness, mercy and inexhaustible honors and honorable traits. No one but Allahu Taala knows the number of miracles given to him. His religion abrogated all religions. His religion is the best and highest of all religions. His umma is higher than all other ummas. The awliya of his umma are more honorable than the awliya of other ummas.
