sa. The Holy Prophet of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa heavens and I am just a human being and a Messenger. This is stated in the Holy Qur'an as: أَوْ تَرْقُى فِى السَّمَاءِ ، وَلَنْ نُّؤْمِنَ لِرُقِيِّكَ حَتَّى تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْنَا كِتَابًا نَّقْرَؤُه ، قُلْ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي هَلْ كُنْتُ إِلَّا بَشَرًا رَّسُوْلاً ) au tarqa fissamā'i wa lannu'mina liruqiyyika hatta tunazzila ‘alainā kitabannnaqra'uhū qul subḥāna rabbi hal kuntu illa bashararrasūla. Or you ascend up into heaven; and we will not believe in your ascension until you send down to us a book that we can read. Say, 'Holy is my Lord!. I am not but a man sent as a Messenger.
