Holy Prophet of Islam - Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa — Page 12
sa. The Holy Prophet of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa. It is ironic that it is only Aḥmadi Muslims who have accepted the responsibility of suggesting solutions to the kind of problems in which the world is immersed today by reflecting on the life of the Prophet and respond to the many objections raised against his character by the opponents of Islām. In a way that was also the primary purpose of the advent of Ḥaḍrat Mirzā Ghulām Aḥmad of Qadian (1835-1908) who claimed that he was the Promised Messiah and Reformer expected by the world. This is why it is our obligation to make manifest in the English language the life and excellent example of the Holy Prophet of Islām, may peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him, so that the maximum number of people in the English speaking world should become aware of his life and his character. . For instance: Decisions in respect of Jewish persons in Madinah were made according to the teaching of Moses, on whom be peace. Once, a very near Companion of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him, said, “The Holy Prophet is superior to Prophet Moses, on whom be peace. " He was severely reprimanded for this action by the Holy. Prophet, peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him, who declared: "Do not express my superiority over Moses, peace be on him, because it has broken the heart of a Jewish person. " Despite the superior position of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him, in the heart of the Muslims and regardless of the greatest position bestowed to the Holy Prophet in the Holy Qur'an, the proclamation made by the. Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, not to call him superior to Moses on whom be peace, was meant to prevent disturbance in the peace of the society. . Such was the life of the Holy Prophet a life worth emulating. mall. MIRZA MASROOR AHMAD. Khalifatul Masih V. Head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community 11 June 2009 12
