SuB-Footnote Number Three 387 however, that the high moral qualities of Hadrat Kh a tamul-Anbiy a ’ [the Seal of the Prophets], may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, which are mentioned in the Holy Quran, are thousands of times higher than those of Hadrat M u s a because Allah the Almighty has said that Hadrat Kh a tamul-Anbiy a ’, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, comprehends all high moral qualities that are found indi- vidually among all the Prophets. Moreover, He has said with regard to the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: 1 َكَّنِا ىٰلَعَل ٍقُلُخ ٍمْيِظَع If something is described in terms of the word ‘a zi m, it signifies in Arabic idiom the highest perfection of that thing. For instance, when it is said that a tree is ‘a zi m, it means that it possesses all the length, breadth and strength which is possible for a tree to possess. Likewise, the meaning of this verse is that whatever high moral qualities and excellent virtues can be found in man, the person of Muhammad fully comprehends all those perfect moral qualities. Hence, this praise is of such high standard beyond which is impossible. And the same has been mentioned in another place concerning the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be on him. He has said: 2 َو َناَك ُلْضَف ِهّٰللا َكْيَلَع اًمْيِظَع Meaning that, you are the recipient of the greatest grace of God and no other Prophet can approach your status. In respect of the sta- tus of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, the same description is found as a prophecy in Psalms, chapter 45, where it is stated ‘…therefore God, your God, has anointed you 1. You do surely possess high moral excellences ( S u rah al-Qalam, 68:5). [Publisher] 2. S u rah an-Nis a ’, 4:114 [Publisher]
